About Kale Blossom

Helping you navigate a broken healthcare system.

Our health care system is necessary but it needs a major overhauling. We’ve heard from countless women over our combined thirty years in practice, and have even experienced this ourselves–that dedicated time, proper support and comprehensive care are not being provided.

Here at Kale Blossom, we offer sound information to help support your family’s holistic health + wellness journey. You’ll learn about possible symptoms & what they’re connected to, as well as the necessary steps to getting the care you need + deserve. Our main goal is to empower you to always advocate for you & your family’s health.

Real wellness for women + Moms

First & most importantly, we’re both Moms! Carly has two children, Rachel has six. Motherhood has taught us so much about life, health and matters of the heart. We hope this is evident in how we share and show up here in this space.Our goal is to be authentic and real, imperfect and honest. We’re here for it all!

How did we get here? (Our Story)

We first met in grad school. Carly was the shy Northerner and Rachel the friendly Southerner.

We spent the next 4 years with our heads buried in books, drinking lots of coffee, taking shopping breaks and endless exams, and often staying up way too late. The journey was both difficult and rewarding, and we enjoyed every step of it (for the most part, our adrenals disagreed!).

We graduated together – Rachel with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and Carly a Doctorate in Chiropractic. Upon graduation, we each had our own plan as Rachel moved back to her southern roots in Georgia and Carly stayed to practice in Chicagoland. After a year, Carly was convinced to move to a warmer climate and landed in Atlanta near Rachel. We both married, had kids, and were involved in our own professional clinical practices.

Together for over a decade, we have celebrated victories (yay!) and supported each other through the hardships of motherhood + life. ‘Cause let’s face it – being a chick and a Mom while keeping it all together can be tough stuff!

Hi, I’m Rachel!

Well, hi there! I’m Dr. Rachel Marynowski, a licensed Naturopathic Physician & I’ve been in healthcare for over 20 years. After finishing my undergraduate degree in Public Health & working for a large hospital system, I completed my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. In addition to my own functional medicine practice, I co-founded an integrative clinic with a birthing center, have written a children’s book & facilitate women’s therapy groups. Supporting both women & children by getting to root-cause health issues, while also empowering & educating, has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

I’m also a Mom to SIX kiddos! Including a set of surprise twins in my 40’s. My husband & I had always dreamed of having a big family & living on land with animals… & here we are! I love farmer’s markets, a quaint coffee shop, small town bookstores, & hanging out barefoot in my backyard with my chickens & kiddos.

I truly believe in the healing power of nature & the innate wisdom of the human body. I love helping women & their families live healthier, happier lives and you can, too. Carly & I are here to show you how!

Hi, I’m Carly!

Welcome! I’m Dr Carly Egoavil, a licensed Chiropractor & Functional Medicine leader with over 15 years of clinical experience. I have completed my studies in Biological Sciences, with an emphasis on human anatomy & physiology, earned my Doctorate in Chiropractic, and continue to study Functional Medicine, with particular interest in women’s and children’s health. As a provider, it is simply not enough to recognize illness, but to rather uncover and support the root cause – how true healing occurs.

My most important job is ‘Mother’, to two amazing children, an 11-year old daughter and 9-year old son, a loving Cocker Spaniel, Lucy, and wife to a hardworking foodie. I’m a mid-westerner at heart, with an appreciation for the beautiful South in which I call home. I enjoy a good magazine and a cup of coffee, watching my kids play sports, am re-energized by the sun, and continue to work on perfecting my gardening skills – work in progress!

True healing rarely happens in the doctor’s office, but rather in the choices we make daily – we all have the ability and power to heal from within. You can, too, and Rachel and I are here to show you how.

There's a time and place for a growth chart. But we shouldn't feel shamed, guilted, or stressed by what the data shows.⁠
⁠
Instead, every baby, child and adult (read the post) should be assessed as a unique individual.⁠
⁠
There. We said it. 🩷🤷🏼‍♀️⁠

We’re never gonna stop speaking the truth. If you actually take the time to do some digging, it’s crystal clear as to the powers at be that are shaping our medical system & our children’s futures. 🥸😳😕

Have you ever known of a natural medicine or a more holistically minded organization with this much power, wealth & influence? Nope, us either. Because there aren’t any.

This isn’t being dramatic. This is the truth. 😢🫣🤯

We value lab work in our practice SO MUCH! It provides key insights into a person's overall health - their nutrients, inflammation, organ function, blood health, immune system & so much more!🙂🔬🧫⁠
⁠

⁠
-CBC w/diff⁠
-Lipid Panel⁠
-Comprehensive Metabolic Panel⁠
-Ferritin⁠
-Hemoglobin A1c⁠

-Magnesium⁠
-TSH⁠
-T3⁠
-T4⁠

⁠
There's a map of all of the blood draw sites in every state in the US (there are a lot!) The results come to you directly via email, and you can compare your labs to the optimal values or take to your provider for review. Knowledge is power when it comes to health!🧠⁠

Did you know Touchland sells 1 of these suckers every 5.5 seconds now?! That’s how popular they are. Like gee whiz yall!!! 🫣🤣🤭

But for real… it’s tricky territory these days. The skincare game is hard core right now & we could have a whole separate conversation on that but here’s how we navigate working through this with our daughters, with the goal of building our relationship with them vs making them resent us FOR LIFE. While monitoring for things like toxin/ fragrance exposure that’s been proven to impact health. 😢🫣

🩷Teach curiosity, not fear
🩷Give choice with gentle guardrails
🩷Pick your battles (not every gloss needs a TED Talk)
🩷Model calm label-reading instead of lecturing
🩷Remember: connection > perfection

And if you need more help, check out nook! It’s a low tox scanner app for products galore. It’s a game changer! @ask.nook 💚💚💚

We’re not raising perfectly “clean” consumers (although of course we wish we could!), we’re raising confident girls who can think, choose, and ask questions without resenting their moms later.

That’s the goal anyway. 🤍

Tell us your thoughts & give us alllllll your tips for navigating supporting your daughters in this skincare obsessed world!

Ladies, ladies, ladies… don’t miss out on the protein AND fiber your body needs! Be sure to read through all the slides, including the last for fiber-rich food ideas you can incorporate daily. And the more color the better.🥦🍎🫐

Most women need at least 75 grams of protein daily (often times closer to 100 grams!). Most women also need over 35 grams of fiber daily (often over 50 grams!) — this is a general rule of thumb. If you have gut issues, SIBO, constipation, etc. your needs may be different. 😘🩷

Which is harder for you protein or fiber??? Or both? Tell us in the comments below. And let’s help each other out! 🩷🙏
