Dr Julie's Coffee Chats
Welcome to Dr Julie's Coffee Chats - where evidence meets real life.
I'm Dr Julie Bhosale—a PhD-trained nutrition researcher, author, entrepreneur, mum of three and someone who believes the best conversations happen over a good coffee.
Every Wednesday, we'll sit down together to explore nutrition, health, parenting, women's wellbeing and real life through honest conversations with experts, inspiring guests and the occasional solo chat.
My goal is simple: to help you cut through the noise, understand the science and leave every episode with something practical you can use in your own life.
So grab a coffee and let's chat.
Helping you nourish yourself and your family—one conversation at a time.

What does it take to build one of New Zealand's most recognisable health food brands?
In this episode of Dr Julie's Coffee Chats, I'm joined by Chloe Van Dyke, co-founder of Chia Sisters, to talk about the story behind the brand, the passion that sparked it, and the realities of building a purpose-driven business.
We explore Chloe's background in neuroscience, the inspiration behind Chia Sisters, and why making genuinely nourishing food and drinks has always been at the heart of what they do. Along the way, we also chat about gut health, wellness trends, entrepreneurship, and what it's really like to grow a business while staying true to your values.
Whether you're interested in nutrition, love supporting local businesses, or simply enjoy hearing the stories behind inspiring Kiwi brands, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.
A huge thank you to Fuel Box, the proud sponsor of this season of Dr Julie's Coffee Chats, for making these conversations possible.
