Food is no longer just fuel — it’s information.

In this episode of Mission-Driven Founders, we sit down with Kristi Stuart, founder of Inner Wellth, to explore the rise of functional foods and the growing movement of using food as medicine.

With a deep background in science, wellness, and women’s health, Kristi shares how her passion for evidence-based nutrition led her to build a trusted brand that empowers women to better understand their bodies. As a fitness, hormone, and nutrition expert, she formulates products rooted in solid science — and embraced by thousands of women across North America.

In this conversation, Kristi breaks down:

  • What functional foods really are — and why they matter
  • The role of protein in women’s health
  • How to transition toward a more plant-centric diet without sacrificing nourishment
  • How to read food labels and spot misleading health claims

Beyond nutrition, Kristi also offers honest insights for entrepreneurs building in the wellness space — from staying mission-aligned to navigating the responsibility that comes with creating health-focused products.

Whether you’re a founder, a wellness professional, or someone striving to make more informed choices in the kitchen, this episode delivers practical guidance, clarity, and inspiration for living — and building — with intention.

✨ Tune in for a conversation that bridges science, purpose, and the power of food.
