About Innate Medical Nutrition
At Innate Medical Nutrition, we believe the body holds an incredible capacity to heal—when we learn how to listen. Founded by Jena Salisbury, MS, CNS, a licensed clinical nutritionist with over 13 years of experience, our practice merges functional medicine, clinical nutrition, and energetic healing to guide individuals back to balance from the inside out.
With a background in dietetics, biochemistry, and clinical science, Jena also draws from years of experience in Reiki, Urevia, and shamanic healing, offering a rare, integrative perspective that honors both the physical and energetic roots of health. We work with individuals who feel overlooked by conventional medicine—those struggling with chronic fatigue, gut dysfunction, post-infectious symptoms, immune challenges, and those simply ready to reclaim their vitality.
Our signature programs—like the Total Gut Reboot and Post-Antibiotic Care Protocol—aren’t just about symptom relief. They’re about tapping into the innate wisdom of the body, combining nutrition, science, and soul to activate true, lasting transformation.
CNS Unfiltered: The Podcast
In alignment with our mission to educate and empower, Jena launched CNS Unfiltered, a podcast that pulls back the curtain on how Certified Nutrition Specialists® think, assess, and problem-solve in clinical practice.
Each episode features raw and real conversations—from case breakdowns to expert interviews—highlighting topics often left out of mainstream medicine: gut health, mold and mycotoxins, fatigue, metabolic repair, and more. It’s the go-to space for practitioners and curious listeners who want to understand the deeper "why" behind healing.
Whether you’re a client, a clinician, or someone in the thick of a healing journey, CNS Unfiltered brings the heart and science of nutrition to life—no fluff, no filters, just real solutions.
Meet Jena Salisbury, MS, CNS, CNC
Founder of Innate Medical Nutrition | Host of CNS Unfiltered
Jena Salisbury is a licensed clinical nutritionist, functional medicine practitioner, and educator with over 13 years of experience in helping people heal from the inside out. Her journey began at Western Michigan University, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Dietetics and Science and a Master Certificate in Holistic Health in 2011.
Jena spent the next seven years building and leading a functional medicine department, where she created clinical nutrition protocols, coached clients one-on-one, and immersed herself in ongoing research, forums, and national conferences to stay at the forefront of emerging science. This experience paved the way for her next chapter: partnering with traditional medical doctors to bring functional modalities and nutrition programs into their clinics. It was during this time that she developed her signature protocols—rooted in biochemistry, whole-body systems, and a belief in the body’s innate wisdom to heal.
To deepen her expertise, Jena pursued a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition at Sonoran University, where she graduated with honors and became a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) in 2022.
For the past five years, she has worked at a high-level functional medicine clinic, managing a demanding caseload of complex clients navigating issues like gut dysfunction, mold toxicity, fatigue, immune dysregulation, and metabolic burnout. Known for her ability to connect deeply, think critically, and develop layered, personalized strategies, Jena brings a rare mix of clinical precision and whole-person care.
Driven by her mission to shift the future of healthcare, Jena launched the CNS Unfiltered podcast—a raw, real-world look at how functional nutrition practitioners think through clinical cases. Through this platform, she shares insights on navigating chronic illness without over-reliance on medications and brings a grounded, science-meets-spirit perspective to modern wellness.
Her work is centered on empowering individuals with tools they can control—nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset—to activate the body’s natural ability to heal.
