I’ve been there — doing everything “right” but still feeling drained, unfocused, and out of balance.
Through Nutrient Driven, I help you uncover the hidden mineral and nutrient imbalances silently affecting your mood, energy, and resilience.
When your body finally gets what it needs, everything shifts.
Your energy returns, your mind feels clear, and the weight of constant tension begins to lift.


I know what it feels like to do everything “right” and still feel exhausted.
For years, I followed every health trend, took the supplements, and tried to outsmart my fatigue — but nothing worked. My focus was foggy, my energy was gone, and I relied on coffee to make it through the day. I looked healthy on paper, but I didn’t feel healthy.
After losing both of my parents and my uncle to chronic illness, I started questioning the conventional approach to health. Despite doing “all the right things,” they never found the root cause — and neither had I.
By that time, I was 50 pounds overweight, anxious, and struggling with high blood pressure and brain fog. My doctor wanted to put me on a statin, but something inside told me there had to be a better way.
That’s when I took my health into my own hands. Years of research and trial led me to Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), where I discovered deep mineral imbalances and hidden stress patterns silently draining my body.
Along the way, I began exploring functional lab testing — including gut health assessments like the GI-MAP — to understand how digestion, stress, and mineral balance all work together — and how restoring gut health supports lasting energy and mood.
I’m currently working toward my Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) certification, continuing to expand how I help clients uncover their root causes and rebuild lasting energy and resilience.
Correcting my own imbalances changed everything — my energy returned, my anxiety lifted, and I no longer needed caffeine just to function.
I’m Duain Christensen, founder of Nutrient Driven.
Now, I help busy, health-conscious professionals uncover and correct the same hidden stressors that once held me back — so they can restore their energy, sharpen their focus, and finally feel calm, clear, and confident again.
Because when your body is balanced, everything else starts to work again too.

You’ve probably tried everything — eating clean, taking supplements, following every new health trend.
Yet your energy still crashes, your focus fades, and your mood swings between wired and worn out.
I know the feeling — I’ve been there too.
Today, I help health-conscious professionals uncover what’s really keeping them stuck: hidden stress patterns, mineral imbalances, and gut issues that most programs miss.
Using a personalized, root-cause approach that blends Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) with functional lab testing, we’ll work to restore balance at the foundation — so your body can finally do what it’s designed to do: heal, energize, and thrive.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and finally feel like yourself again, let’s take the next step together.

I take a root-cause approach that goes deeper than general wellness advice. Together, we uncover the hidden imbalances — in minerals, stress patterns, and digestion — that are silently draining your energy. Then we build a personalized plan that actually supports your unique physiology, not someone else’s.
No. We’ll talk first to determine what’s best for your situation. Some clients begin with existing results, while others benefit from functional lab testing (like Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis or GI-Map). The goal is to get clear insights without adding unnecessary steps.
Every person’s timeline is different. Some clients notice improvements in energy and mood within a few weeks, while deeper balance and lasting resilience build over time. My approach focuses on creating sustainable change — not short-term fixes.
Not at all. Many clients simply feel “off” — low energy, brain fog, poor focus, or chronic stress — even after trying to eat well and take supplements. We work together to uncover what’s missing so your body can finally function the way it’s meant to.
I provide personalized nutritional guidance and supplement recommendations based on your lab data and individual needs. The focus is always on what your body truly requires — not one-size-fits-all protocols.
You’ll have structured check-ins and access to message support, so you’re never left wondering what to do next. The process is designed to keep you moving forward with clarity and confidence.
You’re in the right place. I specialize in helping people who’ve “tried everything” but still don’t feel well. When we uncover the mineral and metabolic patterns beneath your symptoms, things finally start to shift — naturally and sustainably.
