About Upstream Wellness
Upstream Wellness is led by Stephanie Strudley, a functional nutritionist with a Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine from the University of Western States, and a Master’s Degree in Biology from the University of Denver. She is a Certified Nutrition Specialist with the American Nutrition Association, and has advanced training in blood chemistry.
Stephanie is also a mother and small business owner who understands that modern life can be hard to balance with personal health goals. She collaborates with you in a non-judgmental environment to develop a personalized care plan to help you reach your health goals. Interventions may include suggestions on food, supplementation, sleep, exercise, stress management, and testing (conventional and functional testing) to help determine where the body may need more support.
Upstream Wellness is passionate about blending the science of functional medicine with the chemistry of cooking and a zeal for complete nutrition. We believe health and happiness through nutrition need not be a chore nor drudgery, and, that there is joy in healthful nutrition. Instead of applying “band aids” to treat acute symptoms that usually do not result in sustainable long-term wellness, we help you find wellness by looking across a suite of life-history and lifestyle factors including medical history, sleep, stress, diet, toxic exposures, genetics, family history, movement, traumas, and other inter-relating indicators.
Everybody deserves to feel their best, and Upstream Wellness is here to help educate, empower and support people as they embark on their health journey.
