WITN x Julie Sawaya: The Silent Epidemic of Women’s Nutritional Depletion

What if everything women have been taught about “health” is missing the point?

This week on Women in the Nude, we sit down with Julie Sawaya, CEO and co-founder of Needed, to rip the curtain back on the supplement industry, and the systemic ways women’s bodies have been misunderstood, under-researched, and underserved.

Julie doesn’t just talk about vitamins. She talks about power, science, misinformation, and the quiet rage women carrywhen their symptoms are dismissed as “normal.” From fertility and hormones to burnout and emotional depletion, this conversation goes where most wellness discussions won’t…calling out what’s broken, what’s performative, and what women actually deserve.

This episode is bold, honest, and deeply validating. If you’ve ever felt confused, gaslit, or exhausted by the wellness world, this one’s for you.

Julie Sawaya is the CEO and co-founder of Needed, a women-first nutrition company rewriting the rules of supplements with science, transparency, and integrity at its core.

Frustrated by an industry built on outdated research and marketing over substance, Julia helped build Needed to support women at every stage of life, especially during the moments they’re most overlooked. Her work bridges clinical science with real-world experience, challenging the status quo of how women’s health products are formulated, regulated, and discussed.

Julie is known for her refusal to water things down and advocating for better data, better ingredients, and better conversations around women’s bodies. Her mission is simple but radical: give women what they actually need, not what sells fastest.
