Functional Nutrition With Kenadi Schulte, MS, CNS Candidate
We're excited to welcome Kenadi to the Stability In Wellness team as our new Functional Nutrition Provider. Kenadi offers virtual nutrition consultations and follow-up appointments, making personalized care accessible wherever you are.
Her approach goes beyond symptom management by focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of digestive, hormonal, metabolic, and other chronic health concerns. Through an in-depth evaluation of your health history, lifestyle, symptoms, and nutrition, she develops an individualized plan that may include nutrition recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation.
For Dr. Shays, adding a functional provider has been a long-term goal. Having worked with nutrition providers as a patient herself, she has developed a deep appreciation for the profound impact this field can have on health and healing. She has immense respect for the expertise nutrition providers bring to client care and has been waiting for the right opportunity to integrate these services into Stability In Wellness.
We believe that combining movement, physical therapy, and nutrition allows us to better address the whole person, not just individual symptoms, and we're excited to offer this additional layer of support to our clients.
What Is Nutrition vs. Functional Nutrition?
Most people think of nutrition as learning what to eat. Functional nutrition goes a step further by asking why you're experiencing symptoms in the first place.
Rather than simply providing general dietary recommendations, functional nutrition takes a comprehensive, individualized approach. We consider your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, stress, sleep, movement, and laboratory testing to identify the underlying factors contributing to issues like digestive problems, hormone imbalances, fatigue, blood sugar concerns, and inflammation.
The goal isn't simply to manage symptoms, it's to understand the root causes driving them. Using personalized nutrition, targeted lifestyle strategies, and evidence-informed supplementation when appropriate, we create a plan designed to improve your health in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and tailored to you.
Whether you're looking to optimize your health or you've been searching for answers to persistent symptoms, functional nutrition focuses on treating the whole person — not just isolated symptoms.
