Kristen Blake Wellness

Kristen Blake Wellness I help you cut through the confusing world of health and get to the root cause of your symptoms so you can heal from the inside out.

Way too many people are walking around with symptoms like fatigue, bloating, eczema, anxiety and more...and they're told it's normal and there's nothing they can do about it. I strongly believe there is ALWAYS something you can do to improve your health. From my own journey with autoimmune illness; to overcoming my children's struggle with allergies, asthma and eczema; to working with top nutritionists, physicians, and naturopaths to help my husband's NBA career extend well beyond the average length in years, I've learned so much along the way. I've been blessed to have learned from the world's leading health and wellness experts like Dr Frank Lipman, Dr Mark Hyman, Dr Walter Willet, and MANY more, through my Certified Health Coach schooling at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, my AutoImmune Paleo Coach certification, and my Masters of Clinical Nutrition and Human Performance from Logan University. And I want to teach you everything I know so you can be empowered to take back your own health and live life to the fullest.

Scented candles feel cozy… but they can also change your indoor air chemistry. 🕯️

Research shows burning scented candles can increase particulate matter (PM) indoors, and candle emissions can include VOCs/SVOCs and combustion byproducts depending on materials + burn conditions.

Also important: many fragrances contain terpenes (the “pine/citrus/vanilla” vibe). Indoors, terpenes can react with ozone and form secondary pollutants/ultrafine particles—so the “smell” isn’t the only thing in the air.

If you want a simple, realistic approach:
✅ choose unscented (or reduce frequency)
✅ crack a window / use kitchen & bath fans
✅ run a HEPA air purifier
✅ avoid “fragrance” products if you’re sensitive

If you want my low-tox cozy home swaps, comment AIR. 🤍

Most people think of minerals as individual markers - but the real story is often in the ratios!

Minerals don’t function in isolation - they work in dynamic relationships with each other, influencing metabolism, hormones, nervous system function, and energy production. When those relationships become imbalanced, symptoms can appear even if individual minerals look “normal” in isolation.

✨ The beauty of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is that it provides a longer-term view of mineral status and toxic metals, reflecting patterns over the past several months rather than a single moment in time like blood work, and it allows us to look at a whole host of minerals all at once for only $150 so we can analyze the ratios and look for key patterns.

When interpreted correctly, these patterns can provide valuable clues into issues like:
• chronic fatigue
• thyroid slowdowns
• stress and adrenal dysfunction
• blood sugar instability
• hormone imbalance
• hidden mineral deficiencies or toxic metal exposure

This is exactly why HTMA has become one of our favorite tools at KB Wellness — it often reveals patterns traditional labs miss.

If you’re interested in having your own mineral patterns analyzed and getting a personalized plan to correct them - type HTMA below or DM me and I'll send you the direct link to our HTMA package!

Your minerals influence everything — from energy and hormones to stress resilience and metabolism.

Sometimes the missing piece isn’t another supplement…
It’s understanding the pattern.

Supporting your body through surgery is just as important as the procedure itself.

As a holistic health coach, here’s how I supported my athlete son through wisdom teeth removal—focusing on faster healing, reduced inflammation, and optimal recovery.

It starts before surgery with proper nourishment, hydration, and preparation.
It continues during surgery with intentional choices that support the body’s natural healing process.
And it’s just as critical after—prioritizing protein, targeted nutrients, and therapies that accelerate recovery.

Healing is never just one moment—it’s a process we can actively support every step of the way.

Save this if you or someone you love has a procedure coming up 🤍

Look, I love peptides (when used correctly and strategically) as much as the next person but I'm noticing a disturbing trend right now. Practitioners are putting people on the peptide BPC-157 to fix all their gut problems. But it doesn't work like that...

If you are going to use this for your gut, it should be part of a comprehensive strategy that addresses ALL of the reasons you are having gut issues.

After helping hundreds of clients with their gut health I can honestly say - there is never just one reason someone is struggling with constipation, diarrhea, gas, pain, bloating, etc. And it ALL needs to be addressed - in the right order.

Yes BPC can help heal your gut...but if you use it first it's like redecorating your house while it's still on fire.

FIRST you need to put the fire out. Maybe that fire is SIBO, parasites, food sensitivities, NSAIDS, alcohol, post infectious IBS, motility issues, celiac, Crohns, colitis, depleted microbiome, overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria, fungal overgrowth (usually it's a combination of several!).

BPC doesn't fix this. It doesn't kill bacteria in SIBO, or eliminate parasites, restore motility, or rebuild missing microbial diversity.

In our practice we approach gut healing strategically and in sequence:
-Restore motility
-Address microbial, fungal or parasitic imbalances
-Address immune function and overactivation
-Calm inflammation
-Rebuild the microbiome
-Support tissue repair

And we test, not guess, so we know how to identify your key drivers, and address them quickly and strategically - without wasting your money on expensive supplements and peptides you may not need.

If you've been struggling with gut symptoms and feel like you've tried everything…

I know I’m going to make some people mad with this but here’s the truth….

Gut health is like life - there’s no magic wand and no easy button. Gut health is multifactorial and one random supplement rarely fixes everything.

But let’s get really real - most of the time these influencers have no health background and are just saying something worked to get paid. Often time these viral supplements have really good marketing and advertising and even include ingredients that will work...but not in a dosage high enough to actually work. They just sprinkle enough in to be able to put it proudly on the label. this practice is common across the beauty industry as well as the supplement industry. And it sucks for consumers because you may not know the efficacious dose like those of us that have studied this for decades.

But here’s another cold hard truth - even if the supplement did actually work for them - that doesn’t mean it’ll work for you. You may have a different microbial landscape of overgrowths or deficiencies, different factors impacting your motility making it too fast or too slow, different genetic predispositions and more.

This is why we take a strategic approach at KB Wellness. and yes it’s an investment of time and money, but in the end - a strategic approach SAVES you from WASTING time and money. We don’t just throw random supplements at you. We take a thorough health history timeline and investigate symptom onset and whole body systems connections and use functional labs to determine exactly what’s going on to fix it quickly and easily.

If you’re ready to stop wasting money on viral supplements that may or may not even work - and you’re ready to work with a team of experts that actually understands dosing, and will use a strategic approach to help you find the fastest path to true relief - comment HELP below or DM me HELP and let’s talk.

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is one of the most tricky to handle and misdiagnosed immune conditions.

Because mast cells release over 200 chemical mediators, and can be present in any area of the body (heart, gut, etc) symptoms can appear in many different systems at once — which is why people are often misdiagnosed with anxiety, IBS, allergies, or hormone issues.

Here’s another tricky part…
Labs can often look normal outside of a flare. So unless your tryptase (the most common blood marker Drs will use to look for MCAS) is drawn IN THE MIDDLE of an MCAs flare...it may look completely normal, leading your provider to dismiss MCAS as a possibility.

Taking a big picture approach - understanding patterns, triggers, and root drivers like mold exposure, gut dysfunction, infections, and autonomic imbalance is so important when dealing with MCAS suspicions. Rather than dismissing it due to absense of elevated tryptase.

If you’re dealing with unexplained symptoms affecting multiple systems, mast cells may be part of the story.

Comment HELP and I’ll send you additional resources on how we can help you deal with MCAS from a big picture approach.

You are not failing at your health.
You’ve just been trying to do it alone.

Most of the women we work with are smart, motivated, and have already “done all the right things” — clean eating, supplements, probiotics, eliminations, Google rabbit holes, and short doctor visits that lead nowhere.

The problem isn’t effort.
The problem is that healing requires context, strategy, and experienced guidance.

When someone finally looks at the whole picture — labs, history, patterns, stress, hormones, gut, nervous system — things start to make sense. And progress finally happens.

You don’t have to keep doing this on your own. 🤍

It’s surprisingly easy to start calling something “normal” when you’ve lived with it long enough.

The fatigue.
The bloating.
The brain fog.

The symptoms you quietly work around every day.
But your body does not create symptoms for no reason.

Symptoms are signals. And when you learn how to listen to them, they often tell a very clear story.

Many of the things people brush off as “just getting older” or “just stress” are actually early warning signs that something deeper is going on.

Things like white spots on your nails, waking up exhausted every morning, crashing after lunch, recurrent sinus infections, bloating after meals, restless legs at night, or the combination of dry skin, constipation, and anxiety.

These patterns can point toward mineral deficiencies, blood sugar instability, gut dysfunction, thyroid issues, mold exposure, or chronic infections.

And here’s the part most people never hear.

Chronic symptoms are not just how your body is.

And “normal” labs do not always mean optimal health.

When you investigate these signals earlier, you can often intervene before symptoms progress into something much bigger.

At KB Wellness, we use functional labs and root cause strategies to uncover why your body is struggling, not just silence the symptoms.

If any of these sound familiar, comment HELP and we’ll point you in the right direction 🤍

On a recent podcast, I discussed the most common physiologic drivers I see behind mast cell activation:

• Post-viral immune dysregulation (especially long COVID patterns)
• Chronic environmental exposure (mold/mycotoxins)
• Increased intestinal permeability + microbiome disruption
• HPA axis and autonomic nervous system imbalance

Mast cells are immune sentinels.
When they’re chronically activated, it’s typically because the system perceives ongoing threat.

Stabilizing mast cells without addressing:
— viral persistence
— toxic burden
— gut barrier dysfunction
— metabolic instability

is often incomplete.

We also discussed an emerging layer in more complex cases:

After foundational work is established (gut repair, detox capacity, nervous system regulation, glycemic stability), targeted GLP-1–based peptides may support immune modulation and inflammatory signaling pathways that intersect with mast cell activity.

Not as a first-line intervention.
But as a strategic metabolic and inflammatory modulator when appropriate.

MCAS requires systems biology — not symptom suppression.

If you’re into fitness, health, and wellness and optimizing your health...but you’re not into being *perfect* and you still want to live life - gimme a 👋🏻 in the comments.

Tell me l’m not alone. 😉

I have a Masters in Clinical Nutrition and I love to eat healthy - but l’m going to eat ice cream with my kids and have a cocktail or two on a night out.

I use nontoxic shampoo, lotion, and makeup - but I get my hair highlighted a few times a year.

I wear an Oura ring and log 8 hours every night - but l’ll stay up to 1am every once in a while too.

What do you do... (and not do) for your health? 👇🏻

03/03/2026

Your bloodwork isn’t random.
But it’s also not meant to be read in isolation.

One marker = a clue
Patterns + trends = the real story

That’s why popping supplements based on one lab value rarely works.

At KB Wellness, we analyze your labs in context with your symptoms, history, genetics, and lifestyle to uncover root causes — not just manage numbers.

If you’re tired of being told “everything looks normal” while you still feel awful…
