Meet Christina Stapke, RDN

Christina Stapke is an Integrative and Functional Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist. Through a caring and compassionate lens, she addresses a patient’s symptoms and healthcare goals by taking a holistic look at genetics, food habits, mental health, environment and lifestyle. By understanding the root causes of her patient's health concerns, she can provide knowledge, tools, and strategies so they can live their best possible lives.

Christina was drawn to functional medicine early on after feeling discouraged and disappointed with the lack of answers she received from her own healthcare providers about the challenges she faced, including digestion, fatigue, skin issues and hormonal imbalance. After getting support from functional medicine practitioners, she decided to pursue Integrative and Functional Nutrition  as a career. 

After many years of training in Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy (IFMNT), Christina landed on a path of healing for herself and others by identifying and treating the root causes of her chronic health conditions. Through education and years of experience, she broadened her understanding of chronic health issues like digestive and autoimmune conditions at a biochemical and physiological level.

Clinical areas of focus include:

• Digestive concerns (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, SIBO, GERD)
• Autoimmune conditions (especially Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Hashimoto’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis)
• General health and well-being (aspirations for healthy living and healthcare preventative maintenance) 

In her free time, you can find Christina surfing on the PNW coast (and in warmer waters when possible), playing soccer, climbing, walking/running her dog Merlin, and spending time with her family and friends.
