My name is Jennifer Lynn Stelter. After personal health issues and witnessing family members suffer from 'hopeless' medical conditions, I began to think outside the box. Despite healthy food choices and regular exercise, I found myself with a number of health challenges including adrenal fatigue, blood sugar and thyroid issues, leaky gut, food intolerances and hormonal imbalances. On the outside, I was the poster child for good health because I lived the lifestyle our culture promotes as healthy. If I was doing all the "right things," why didn't I feel well? After failing to get answers from traditional medical practitioners, who often use a band-aid approach, the hunt for root causes and natural solutions began. Once I discovered the functional health field and I applied its principles, I began to feel well and regain my health.
As a functional health practitioner, I am dedicated to empowering people to regain lifelong, optimal health. I work with people in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, as well as nationwide. I use tools that effectively detect internal malfunctions in the body. These existing malfunctions not only affect how we look, feel, think and act on a day to day basis but if left undetected have the ability to cause more serious problems in the years to come. Helping people reach their full potential and go on to live vibrant, healthy lives is my passion.
I help anyone who feels stressed out, exhausted and cranky to double their energy, lose weight and balance their hormones. I love working with people one-on-one and seeing how their lives are forever changed as a result of utilizing this natural approach. Life is much too short to lack enthusiasm, clarity and vitality for the future.
I design a personalized program that focuses on your healing journey and use sophisticated lab work to assess the function of your hormone, immune, detoxification and digestive systems. I inspire people to get healthier by eating and sleeping better, exercising smarter, managing stress and getting in tune with their bodies. Ultimately, I promote a model of self-care so my clients can learn how to regain their health and apply what they learn to stay healthy for the rest of their lives.
My friends and family would surely call me a total, utter and complete health nerd. I have a huge thirst for knowledge in the health and wellness realm. Before I became a functional health practitioner, I encountered and overcame many of my own health challenges by applying these principles. I always knew in my heart that illness wasn't just a roll of the dice and that by identifying and addressing underlying malfunctions, we actually have the power to rebuild our health. I believe we can make a positive impact and reshape the world by being more mindful about our daily choices that directly affect our well-being.
