Sea + Spruce Nutrition

✨This is your sign that it’s time.

✨It’s your time to stop putting off figuring out what’s making you feel like crap all the time.

Those nagging symptoms like digestive issues & low energy levels- those are keeping you from living up to your fullest potential & living your fullest life.

…and the thing is, figuring out how to feel better doesn’t need to be complicated.

✨All of these testimonials are amazing people we got to work with through our Digestion Detective Solution who ended up discovering WHY they weren’t feeling well, & as a team we came up with a plan that was doable for them.

It’s truly the greatest gift to see transformations like these & it’s why I do what I do. 🙏

If you’ve been dealing with any form of digestive issues or low energy levels, this is your time to get support & figure out what’s going on 😊

I have a few more spots left in the program this Fall & will be signing people up for the next week, then registration will close for the year.

Oh, one more thing- I’ve giving away a FREE specialty test(nutrient or digestive) ($380 value) to the first 10 people that join(spots are filling up though!) 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Happy Juneteenth!

✨Today, we commemorate a significant day in our nation's history. While it is crucial to acknowledge that we may never fully understand the experiences and emotions tied to this day for the Black community, we are committed to learning, listening, and stand in solidarity.

✨Today serves as a powerful reminder of the progress we have made towards equality, as well as the work that still lies ahead. We recognize the profound impact of systemic racism and are dedicated to actively dismantling these structures within our society and local community wherever possible.

✨As a white-owned business, we acknowledge our privilege and the responsibility that comes with it. We are committed to using our platform to amplify Black voices, promote inclusivity, and support initiatives that promote racial justice. We strive to foster an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and heard.

✨We are also committed to seeing more people of color being supported and thriving in the integrative & functional nutrition/medicine space which has a tendency to be predominantly white.

✨Let’s continue to educate ourselves(esp fellow white people!), challenge biases, and foster an environment where diversity is valued, respected, and celebrated. Happy Juneteenth!

Have you ever wondered what probiotic is actually going to help you?

I remember when I was dealing with a lot of digestive issues I was trying everything. I thought that the more strains and higher count(CFU)/volume in a capsule, the better. The thing is, this was completely wrecking my gut and triggering MORE bloating because I had a certain kind of imbalance going on. I wish I knew what I know now!

If you've taken probiotics before, maybe you've seen some improvement, no improvement, or may actually feel worse.

If you've been taking a probiotic for a long time, as your gut changes, it may no longer be appropriate for you/you may need a different one.

The interesting thing is, not all probiotics are created equal depending on what is going on with your gut health. Some probiotics can actually make gut symptoms worse in certain scenarios(hence my story earlier)- so its important to make sure your probiotic is personalized for you given the types of symptoms and imbalances you may have.

AND if you've ever tried googling what probiotics are best, it's really hard to know if what you're finding online is actually the best fit for you.

That's why I've decided to put together a masterclass to specifically address this topic, so you can make an educated decision to help improve your gut health with probiotics.

Here are the details:

Monday 3/13 6:30-7:30pm PST

Pricing: $22 (this will continue to go up until Monday!)

Hope to see you there!

Hi everyone, I’m so excited to announce that we’ve rebranded from Christina Stapke, RDN to Sea+Spruce Nutrition!

Sea + Spruce Nutrition is (still) a virtual Integrative and Functional Nutrition counseling practice based in Seattle, Washington but we currently have the ability to see individuals in several states across the US.

We believe that just as nature is always gracefully rebalancing itself, our bodies are capable of doing the same with the right support.

Just like the interconnectedness of different ecosystems in nature, such as the ocean and forests, we believe that ensuring balance between the different "ecosystems" of the body(gut, skin, liver, thyroid, reproductive organs, brain, etc) is paramount to overall health.


Our philosophy is that all health conditions can be improved with numerous natural modalities such as personalized nutrition, nourishing movement, quality sleep, stress reduction, spending time in nature, and supporting mental/emotional/spiritual wellness.

We use this holistic strategies in addition to specialty nutrition testing (such as digestive, nutrient, toxins, genetics and more) to allow us to custom-tailor a nutrition plan while taking an individual’s health history and symptoms into account.

This approach allows us to understand what your body needs at a deep level so we can help activate your body's innate ability to recalibrate and heal.


We believe that…

✨Everyone has the right to feel good in their body
✨No one should have to feel hindered from living their fullest life by a chronic health issue
✨Being “healthy” does not involve perfection or rigidity, but balance

If our philosophy resonates & you want some support with feeling better, book a FREE strategy session with us 😊 https://www.seaandsprucenutrition.com/

Has this ever been you?

I can say I’ve totally been there. Especially years ago when I had no idea I had celiac disease & some other gut issues I would joke with my friends that now I knew what I’d look like if/when I ever became pregnant🤰🏼😂

The thing is, these kinds of symptoms like bloating/gas (& constipation or loose stools)are important to address because it can be our body’s way of telling something is out of balance in our digestive tract 🔍

We can also think of our digestive bacteria like the “soil” for our body if we think of our bodies like a tree. If our soil/gut bacteria is unbalanced, our trees/bodies are likely to be unbalanced 🌳

That’s why I’ve created a 5-Day Digestive Wellness Reset to address symptoms like these while having the accountability & support of a group setting. 💪🏼

I’m giving a significant discount on it because I know how helpful it can be with individuals dealing with these symptoms. 🙌🏼

Here's the link to get on the list to reserve your spot(I want to keep this group small for motivated individuals) & get a FREE gift that will help with digestive issues during the holidays 😊:
