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.

Start a med. Get side effects from said med. Doc adds another med. Another side effect, and yet another med. If that’s not American health care in a nutshell right now… 🤯🤯

Yes, meds can absolutely be necessary so we’re not gonna entertain the grumpy comments in that vein, mmkay? ❌

One thing we always worked to do in our practice, is to GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE, address them, balance the body & get it back to its homeostasis point. Which often times allowed us to safely get our patients off of meds.

And the same goes for supplements! If your doc just keeps putting you on more & more & more every time you go in, time to reconsider.

The body knows what’s it doing. We just need to stop interfering so much. 🥸🩷

We try not to complain about products without giving you a solution! So here ya go. 😀🙏

This is one of those cold/flu/cough season items we want everyone to know about. Did you know it contains these sketchy ingredients? And to know you can easily make it at home on your own = a win! 💚🙏

Not medical advice. Be sure to be careful using essential oils with babies. Lung tapping (gentle on the chest & the back) & making a homemade chest rub with just vitamin E & coconut oil (which is anti-inflammatory, skipping the EO’s, can be a safe solution for littles who need cough support.

Have you made this before? What’s your fave EO blend to use? Share in the comments below. Let’s help each other out! 😎🩷

Our body & mind is one and the same. And if your health care providers aren’t asking about how you feel emotionally, they’re doing your whole health a disservice. 🩷🙏

These aren’t always applicable to every woman but we’ve seen these combinations over & over again. So be sure to dig deeper if you feel this resonates.

Happiness & health to you from us! 🩷🤍🩷🤍🩷🤍

Turns out, grandma was right! 🩷🙏😎

The 2018 Augusta University baking soda study by Dr. Paul O’Connor and colleagues, published in The Journal of Immunology showed anti-inflammatory & immune support.

Here’s how they proved it…

Rats (and later, a small group of humans) were given a dilute baking soda solution (about ½ teaspoon in 250 mL of water daily). After about two weeks, researchers noticed a shift in immune cell ratios:
• More M2 macrophages (anti-inflammatory type)
• Fewer M1 macrophages (pro-inflammatory type)

They proposed this was triggered by the vagus nerve, signaling the spleen to calm immune overreaction. So basically, diluted baking soda supported the body moving into ‘rest and repair’ mode.

How freaking cool is that?! 🆒😎And who thinks there needs to be more funding for studies using natural remedies?? 🙋‍♀️🙋🏽
