Empowering Independence: Advocacy, Nutrition, and Disability Representation: with Dr. Julia

In this episode, Nicolas Comstock examines the government's role in the financial well-being of individuals with disabilities. Joined by Dr. Julia Bramwell, they discuss the benefits of supplements, dietary sources of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D, and the importance of gut health. Dr. Bramwell shares her experience as a parent of a disabled child, discussing advocacy, overcoming invisibility, and independent living challenges. They also cover managing care for siblings, financial hurdles, and empowering special needs children. The episode ends with a call to action for more disability-focused medical professionals.

Dr. Julia Bramwell, a Board Certified Pediatrician and founder of Invest in My Health, a root-cause medical practice focused on precision diagnostics, genomic testing, IV nutrient therapy, peptides, and mental health support including ketamine therapy. After 25 years in traditional medicine, I shifted my focus to helping people reclaim their energy, mood, and health through highly personalized care.

I’m also a proud mom to adult triplets — and one of my children is disabled with cerebral palsy. That experience has shaped not only who I am as a mother, but also how I show up as a physician. I know the deep emotional, logistical, and sometimes invisible challenges that come with navigating disability — from both the clinical and personal side. I’m honored to be part of this conversation today.
