Huntsman World Senior Games Active Life: NBA Injuries and Inflammation

I recently had the opportunity to join the Active Life Podcast to talk about my approach to functional medicine, performance, and long-term health. As a functional nutritionist and the founder of Kristen Blake Wellness, my work is centered on helping men and women understand what’s actually driving their symptoms so they can optimize energy, metabolic health, hormone balance, gut health, cardiovascular risk, and overall performance at every stage of life.

My passion for this work was shaped through firsthand experience supporting my husband during his career as a professional athlete, where I saw how critical recovery, inflammation management, and long-term health strategy are not just for performance, but for longevity.

In this conversation, I share more about how I help clients move beyond guesswork, gain clarity about their bodies, and build a foundation for sustainable, high-level health.
