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.

Ever find yourself standing in the kitchen at 10am wondering why you're already hungry... even though you've had breakfast?
In this episode of Dr Julie's Coffee Chats, we're unpacking one of the most common nutrition questions I hear from women: Why am I hungry so soon after breakfast?
The good news? It's probably not a lack of willpower.
Join me as we explore the five most common reasons you're hungry by mid-morning. I'll also share what breakfast often looks like in my own home—including why I'm a big fan of "second breakfast" on busy school mornings—and how a few small changes can make a big difference to your energy, focus and appetite throughout the day.
If you've ever found yourself reaching for the biscuits before morning tea, this episode is for you.
This season of Dr Julie's Coffee Chats is proudly supported by Fuel Box, a fellow Wellington business creating convenient, nutrition-focused drinks to help busy Kiwis fuel their day.
