Stephanie Strudley, the founder of Upstream Wellness, is 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. As a Certified Nutrition Specialist with advanced training in blood chemistry, Stephanie is passionate about helping individuals achieve optimal health, particularly those struggling with cardiometabolic and gut-related issues.

As a mother and small business owner, Stephanie understands the challenges of balancing modern life with personal health goals. She partners with you in a supportive, non-judgmental environment to develop a personalized care plan tailored to your unique needs. Whether it’s through nutrition, supplementation, sleep, exercise, stress management, or functional and conventional testing, her goal is to provide the tools and guidance needed to uncover the root causes of health concerns and foster lasting health.

Outside of her work, Stephanie enjoys hiking, gardening, creating delicious and nourishing meals in the kitchen, and raising her family. These hobbies reflect her belief that health and happiness are intertwined and that nutrition can be as joyful as it is transformative.

At Upstream Wellness, Stephanie blends the science of functional medicine with the art of cooking and a dedication to whole body health. Rather than masking symptoms with short-term fixes, she takes a comprehensive approach, examining factors like medical history, stress, diet, sleep, movement, and environmental exposures to uncover the bigger picture of wellness.

Everyone deserves to feel their best, and Upstream Wellness is here to educate, empower, and support you as you take charge of your health journey.
