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.

Comment LABS & we’ll send you this list so you can take it in to your own provider & request the care you need! Most of these are covered by insurance, too so there’s no reason a doc/provider should shoot you down. 🩷
Be your own best advocate when it comes to your health! Especially before, during & long after any pregnancies & breastfeeding.

We built our practice on listening to patients. And really looking at them as a whole person- body, mind & spirit. Plus, taking into account, the little (& sometimes big clues) the body tells us. 🤓🩷
We also like to test (not guess, if we don’t have to). If you have any of these, request the tests listed as a starting point. You’re allowed to ask for things & to be your own best patient advocate.
And if you don’t have access to labs, but you have one or several of these, start with the basic pillars of health: sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, outside for fresh air + sunshine, connection, stress management, support your detox pathways. Because if any one of these is off, that’s your “medicine”. 🩷🙏

Summer pool days = core memories ☀️💦
…and while we’re not here to make moms fear every splash, it is worth knowing that chlorine can be tough on little bodies, especially skin, hair, eyes, lungs, and the microbiome after repeated exposure. (Swimming World Magazine)
The good news? There are simple ways to support your family without skipping the fun. 🤍
One thing we’ve used for years is a quick vitamin C rinse/spray after swimming. Why? Because vitamin C has actually been shown to neutralize chlorine through a chemical reaction. The science behind this has been recognized in water treatment research for years, including work referenced by the USDA and researchers connected to California water systems. (US Forest Service)
Translation: vitamin C can help break down chlorine sitting on the skin and hair after pool time. ✨
We’re all about practical, not perfect.
Kids should still enjoy summer. Moms don’t need one more thing to panic about. But small supportive habits can add up over time.

Who’s ready for Summer?? 😎💦☀️🩷
Swimming | chlorine = a toxin | vitamin C spray
This is NOT meant to add to the fear friends! Stay grounded, take care of your body & your immune system every day. 🩷🙏
This is all we’re getting at… if we’re not able to ask these questions though, and hold these companies accountable, these scary headlines will just continue to be a vicious cycle.
Stay well everybody! 🩷🙏

You are not crazy! Our bodies give us the best clues when something is going on. We just have to listen.
Have you had any of these before? If so, and you’re still not feeling well, find a good doc/provider who knows how to listen to the human body.
