Judy Cho
Judy Cho is a functional medicine practitioner and board-certified holistic nutritionist specializing in chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, gut health, mold illness (CIRS), nervous system regulation, and complex chronic conditions. She founded Empower Functional Health, which has supported over 2,500 clients through root-cause-focused care.
Judy has degrees from UC Berkeley, is the author of the bestselling books Carnivore Cure and The Complete Carnivore Diet for Beginners, and hosts the Nutrition with Judy podcast.
After years on a plant-based diet, Judy experienced a health decline and found recovery through therapeutic nutrition, faith, and root-cause healing. That crisis shaped her clinical philosophy: she cares deeply but does not dilute the truth to keep the peace. The same conviction shapes her clinical work, writing, and willingness to look beneath surface-level symptoms when people have been treated but are still not well.
