Julia Granacki, NBC-HWC, is a board-certified Health & Wellness Coach and comprehensively trained Pilates instructor specializing in perimenopause, menopause, and the physical, emotional, and identity shifts that often accompany midlife.

As a multidisciplinary practitioner, Julia helps patients bridge the gap between knowing what may support their health and figuring out how to make those changes work in real life. Her coaching integrates evidence-based behavior change, movement, nutrition, stress management, sleep, and nervous system regulation, with an emphasis on helping patients better understand their bodies and become confident advocates for their own care.

Her approach is practical, collaborative, and human. Rather than relying on rigid rules or one-size-fits-all solutions, Julia helps patients develop realistic strategies that reflect their individual needs, priorities, and lives—with curiosity, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor.

Julia completed her health coaching training through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and additional training through Harvard Medical School’s Sustainable Nutrition program. She is also a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor through the Kane School of Core Integration.

Julia is a published writer and the creator and host of AGECRAFT After Dark, a podcast exploring aging, identity, health, and reinvention in midlife and beyond.

Smile Design Manhattan founder Lee Gause, DDS, has established himself as a clinical leader in cosmetic dentistry techniques, a level of expertise he brings to the Midtown West practice in New York City.

Dr. Gause began his professional education as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, graduating in 1998 with a bachelor of science in biology.

Inspired to pursue a career in dentistry after earning his undergraduate degree, Dr. Gause enrolled at the Howard University College of Dentistry in Washington, DC, where he earned his doctor of dental surgery in 2004.

A year later, Dr. Gause relocated to New York and founded Smile Design Manhattan. Over the next decade, Dr. Gause worked incredibly hard, honing his craft in cosmetic dentistry techniques such as porcelain veneers, Invisalign®, and dental implants.

Dr. Gause’s years of experience, attention to detail, and approachable, friendly demeanor have helped him establish a boutique family of patients including celebrities and professional athletes.

When Dr. Gause isn’t spending time with patients, you can find him dedicating his time and energy to Smile Design Gallery, a charity he founded that uses art sales to fund dental care for low-income children and seniors, as well as men and women who are being rehabilitated from homelessness.

On a personal level, Dr. Gause enjoys contemporary visual art, physical fitness, and helping develop public dental health systems in emerging nations. Professionally, Dr. Gause is a fellow of the International College of Oral Implantologists.
