Functional Nutritionist Stephanie Strudley

About Upstream Wellness

Upstream Wellness is led by Stephanie Strudley, MS, CNS, LDN, a Functional Nutritionist with advanced training in nutrition, biology, and functional medicine.

Stephanie holds a Master of Science in Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine from the University of Western States and a Master of Science in Biology from the University of Denver. She is a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) through the American Nutrition Association and has completed advanced training in blood chemistry interpretation and perimenopause. She works with clients in multiple states, and is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Her work is rooted in a personalized, root-cause approach—helping clients understand what is driving their symptoms rather than simply managing them.

Stephanie partners with clients in a collaborative, non-judgmental environment to develop individualized care plans that are both effective and realistic. Her approach integrates nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted testing—both conventional and functional—to identify where the body needs support.

Care may include guidance on:

  • Nutrition and meal structure

  • Targeted supplementation

  • Sleep, stress, and lifestyle strategies

  • Advanced lab testing for deeper insight

As a mother and small business owner, Stephanie understands the demands of modern life and the challenge of balancing health with real-world responsibilities. Her goal is to create plans that are not only clinically effective, but also sustainable and practical.

At Upstream Wellness, we take a comprehensive view of health—considering factors such as digestion, metabolism, sleep, stress, environmental exposures, and personal history. Rather than applying short-term fixes, we focus on building a clear, strategic path toward long-term wellness.

We believe that nutrition should feel supportive, empowering, and sustainable—not restrictive or overwhelming.

Our goal is simple: to help you understand your body, feel better, and build lasting health with clarity and confidence.

If you’re ready to take a more personalized, root-cause approach to your health, we’re here to help.
