ABOUT
Grow Your Health
Grow Your Health Functional Wellness Consulting was created to help individuals better understand how their bodies function and identify patterns that may be influencing their overall wellness.
Our Wellness Philosophy
At Grow Your Health Functional Wellness Consulting, we believe true healing begins by understanding how the body functions as a connected system.
Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, our approach explores underlying health patterns that influence how the body responds to nutritional, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Through education, lab pattern insight, and functional wellness strategies, we help individuals gain greater clarity about their health and take meaningful steps toward long-term well-being.
Our goal is not only to address symptoms, but to help individuals better understand the patterns that shape their health.
My Story
Welcome — I’m Kristen.
I’m a wife, mom, and wellness consultant who understands firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate complex health concerns.
My own health journey has included autoimmune challenges, pregnancy difficulties, and recovery from sports-related injuries. Walking through these experiences created a deep passion within me to better understand how the body functions and what factors may influence healing, resilience, and long-term wellness.
At the same time, I spent more than 15 years working in the healthcare industry, partnering with employees, employers, and insurance carriers. During that time, I saw how difficult it can be for individuals to truly understand their health information, lab results, and treatment options. This experience revealed a growing need for clear, practical health education that helps people better understand what may be happening within their bodies.
These experiences ultimately led me to study functional nutrition, lab interpretation, and Quantum Nutrition Testing, allowing me to help individuals identify potential health patterns and develop personalized wellness strategies.
I have also developed a growing interest in brain health and concussion recovery, an area that continues to influence my ongoing education and future program development.
​
Throughout this journey, my faith has played an important role in shaping my perspective on health, stewardship, and service. I believe our bodies were designed with an incredible capacity to heal and restore balance when supported in the right ways.
​
Today, through Grow Your Health Functional Wellness Consulting, I work with individuals who want greater clarity about their health while also expanding my work into structured education programs such as the Lab Foundations™ Education Series, designed to help individuals and organizations better understand foundational health patterns and the lifestyle factors that influence long-term wellness.

Why I Created the Lab Foundations™ Education Series
Over the years, I began noticing a common pattern — many individuals receive lab results and health information, but few are ever taught how to truly understand what those markers may be signaling about their health.
Through both my personal health journey and more than 15 years working within the healthcare industry, I saw how often people feel confused, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their own health data.
The Lab Foundations™ Education Series was created to help bridge that gap by providing clear, practical education that helps individuals better understand common health markers, patterns within routine lab work, and the lifestyle factors that influence long-term wellness.
The goal is not simply to review lab numbers, but to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of how the body functions as an interconnected system.
Through this educational approach, individuals and organizations can begin building stronger foundations for long-term health, prevention, and informed decision-making.
​
While the Lab Foundations™ Education Series continues to grow, I currently work with individuals through personalized lab reviews and wellness strategy sessions designed to provide clarity and direction.

Expanding Health Education Programs
As the Lab Foundations™ Education Series continues to grow, additional health education programs are also in development to help individuals better understand other foundational areas of wellness.
One of the next areas of focus is brain health, including education around concussion recovery, cognitive wellness, and factors that may influence long-term neurological health.
Additional education topics such as metabolic health and hormone balance may also be explored in future programs as Grow Your Health continues to expand its mission of improving health literacy.
