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.

We chose to do testing because we are in our 40’s (“older” for having babies 😎✌️) & we had 4 other kids at home. We wanted to know if there was anything we would need to prepare for, for the baby to be as well as our entire family. Not with any intentions of ending the pregnancy. 🩷

A few weeks later, we found out there were actually two.

Two little boys. 💙💙
Two heartbeats.
Two of the greatest blessings of our lives.

I actually called the lab to let them know. We were shocked. And they were not, in fact they confirmed, errors do occur. This isn’t a post against genetic testing. We believe information can be incredibly helpful and can give families time to prepare, ask questions, and make informed decisions.

But our twins were also a gentle reminder that tests are tools, not crystal balls.

Sometimes reports are wrong. Sometimes life surprises us. And sometimes those surprises end up being the very things we can’t imagine living without.

There is still a whole little human being (or maybe two) behind lab tests. And that recent story of the YouTubers broke our hearts. ❤️

This chapter of womanhood has a new special place in our hearts. We want all women to feel heard, valued & supported.

So on that note… we hear from so many of you that you don’t have access to good care or labs, if we were to start a virtual patient care group for perimenopause, let us know if you’d be interested. Drop a heart below if so. 🩷

Here to help in any way we can!

We’re on a mission to help as many women & their families as we can. These labs apply to men, too. Comment LAB & we’ll send it over! Because there’s one thing you CAN do in our broken healthcare system… take agency over your own health. 😎💪🩷

We’re all about shopping healthier. But it also has to be realistic! Not perfect. Sometimes it’s annoying to buy stuff online. We get it. 😎👍

Seems like lots of people do these Target & Costco posts now. Are they still helpful?? Let us know in the comments below!

We also invented a low-tox swap app for just this reason. 💚😊

We know this because we’ve seen it with our own eyes. 👀 Women deserve so much & it’s our mission to help. 🩷😎💪

Press the screen to pause or here’s the list in case you need it:

•Anger + resentment will eat your soul alive, and make you sick.

•Biopsies can spread things.

•Birth control is the #1 cause of B vitamin deficiencies. And infertility.

•Botox is a neurotoxin.

•Mammograms are outdated & haven’t helped improve breast cancer rates overall.

•Mom overwhelm or rage is a clue of deeper imbalance, not just part of being a mom.

•You don’t have to be miserable in peri or menopause; it’s common but not normal.

•Paps are invasive & need to be reevaluated.

•You’re not too old to have a baby after 35.

•IUDs, even the copper ones, are inflammatory + cause damage.

•Functional medicine doctors will help your fertility with less side effects & less $$$$ than the IVF world ever could.

•Being told your labs are “normal” when you don’t feel well is a slap in the face.

•Doctors should partner with you, not preside over you.

•Ozempic may take the weight off but it doesn’t get to the root cause.

•Any injection- pharma, peps or lips will have side effects.

•The mental/emotional health piece is just as important as your physical health.
