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 nutritio

nists, 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.

Hey so here's the deal. I've spent the past decade perfecting the art and science of working on gut health. I've written paper after paper on the multifactorial nature of IBS, the flare triggers and treatment options for IBD, the gut brain axis. I've worked with thousands of individuals on their gut health. And I've curated a team of amazing practitioners to work in my practice that are all highly trained in gut health as well.

I'm obsessed because if your gut isn't right - nothing is right. You won't absorb nutrients properly, you can end up with deficiencies, which impact immune function, energy, hormones, and on and on. You NEED to nail it with your gut.

So if you're reading this, and you need gut health help...maybe it's time to stop buying random supplements from influencers and maybe it's time to bring in a team of experts that read the research, understand the science, and know the ART of addressing this complex multifactorial topic. Yes?

DM me or comment HELP and I'll send you the next steps on learning more about working with us. And if you missed the other two parts of this series go back and check them out. And you know what else? Send this to a bestie that needs to hear it. You know - the one that laughs and says "hot girls have IBS" when she runs to the bathroom. No girl. You can be hot WITHOUT IBS, I promise. And we're here to help.

I said what I said.

These are my gut health hills I will die on after years of working with women who were told:
“everything looks normal”
“it’s just IBS”
“take this and manage it”

Meanwhile they’re bloated every day, constipated, running to the bathroom, or planning their life around their gut.

None of that is normal.

And no — you are not “just sensitive.”

Most gut issues I see are:
👉 under-investigated
👉 over-supplemented
👉 and completely missing the bigger picture

Because your gut doesn’t work in isolation.

It’s connected to your hormones.
Your stress response.
Your immune system.
Your blood sugar.

So if you’ve only been told to change your diet or take a probiotic but that's it - of course you’re still stuck.

You don’t need more restriction.
You need a strategy that actually makes sense for your body.

Save this if this hit and Comment HELP if you’re ready for a real plan.

If you've been struggling with ANYTHING gut related (constipation, reflux, diarrhea, bloating, gas, pain) - this entire series is for you!

I've built the core of my practice around gut health because to be honest - if your gut isn't right - nothing in your body will work right. We are gut health obsessed over here at KB Wellness and because we've worked with SO many individuals on gut health we've seen it all.

And in particular - I've seen a lot of people that have gotten some pretty terrible advice - so i can be quite opinionated on all things gut health.

So these are the gut health hills I will die on — because I see what happens when women are given surface-level advice instead of real answers.

You don’t need another probiotic.
You don’t need to just “manage” IBS.
And you definitely don’t need to rely on laxatives or elimination diets forever.

Your symptoms are not random.
They are signals.

And if you’ve been stuck for a while, it's not that you're unfixable - it’s usually because no one has taken a full, root-cause, multifactorial approach to your gut.

Gut issues are never just about one thing...they involve food, your microbiome, your hormones, genetics, nervous system, immune system, metabolism and more!

That’s why quick fixes don’t work.
And why so many people feel like they’ve “tried everything” but they're still struggling.

If your thyroid has only ever been “checked” with a TSH… you’re missing a huge part of the picture.

TSH is a signaling hormone—not the thyroid hormone itself.
�And here’s the problem:�👉 You can have symptoms for YEARS before TSH ever moves outside the “normal” range.
👉 And with autoimmune thyroid disease the thyroid is being attacked for YEARS before TSH moves as well.

Meaning…�You’re exhausted, gaining weight, losing hair, dealing with anxiety or brain fog…and getting told “everything looks fine.”

It’s not that nothing is wrong.�It’s that you’re not being tested comprehensively.

My thyroid guide breaks down:�✔️ The symptoms to actually look for�✔️ The labs you should be running�✔️ How to start connecting the dots

#1 misconception when it comes to blood sugar is that if you don't have a diagnosis of diabetes, you don't need to care about your blood sugar.

Nothing can be further from the truth. One of the MOST IMPORTANT changes we make with our clients is often helping them BALANCE their blood sugar throughout the day. This can help with: weight loss, heart health, energy, fatigue, brain fog, focus and so much more.

This client was smart, knowledgable, ate clean, worked out, and was trying to do everything right. She wasn’t lazy. She wasn’t “noncompliant.” And she wasn’t broken.
She was doing what most high-achieving women do…
pushing harder, cleaning up her diet, trying to be “more disciplined”…
while her physiology was quietly stuck in survival mode.
When we finally mapped her case with the right testing, the story was clear:
✅ chronic stress physiology (HPA-axis dysregulation)
✅ gut-driven inflammation (including H. pylori)
✅ environmental load (mold + immune reactivity)
✅ medication induced nutrient depletion (especially iron depletion) fueling fatigue
✅ metabolic resistance from inflammation + cortisol
And when we treated the drivers in the right order — her body responded.
📉 24-hr cortisol came down
📉 CRP dropped ~60% (3.14 → 1.21)
⬇️ 20 lbs down + reduced cravings
🏠 BP improved enough to reduce meds with her physician’s blessing
✅ eradicated H. pylori
✅ finished mold protocol + remediation with normal retest
✅ weaned off meds for reflux, allergies, eczema and more
✅ sinus + ears + breathlessness resolved
She told me last week she CAN NOT BELIEVE how good she feels right now. Truly.
The best part?
We’re now transitioning toward maintenance with fewer supplements… because her body is actually regulating itself again.
If you’ve been stuck in the “I’m doing everything right but nothing is changing” loop…
it’s usually not a motivation issue.
It’s a missing map.

Who else has a work life balance that looks like laptops in the bleachers?

Tell me I’m not alone 👇🏻

As a business owner stepping away is hard and sometimes I wish I could turn my brain off a tad more from time to time, and yes I know - This may look chaotic to some. But to me it’s everything I’ve prayed for. I have a thriving business I love where I can help people struggling with their health feel the best they ever have. And I have healthy happy kids that I get to support and watch do what they deeply love.

With a lot of time blocking, scheduling, planning ahead, a helpful husband, an ever present hotspot, strategically packing snacks caffeine supplements and more into my Mary poppins bag I can do it all the things I love! 💁🏼‍♀️

MCAS is one of the trickiest conditions to manage because there is no one size fits all when dealing with MCAS and most conventional treatments feel like you're just chasing your various symptoms in circles.

But it doesn't have to be that way. With the right, strategic, step by step approach (no magic wand sorry), you can identify and remove your personal triggers (which will be different than other people's and can change and evolve), identify and resolve your root cause destabilizers, and stop chasing symptoms once and for all.

Remember mast cells are like little balloons that can explode too easily in MCAS - and a key question is: why are your balloons so easy to pop in the first place? That’s where root causes come in.

Someone without MCAS doesn’t usually break out in hives from getting hot, react strongly to a scent, or spiral after a glass of wine. When mast cells are overly reactive, it’s often because something deeper is making them less stable.

That “why” can include things like: mold exposure, infections like EBV/COVID/Lyme, gut dysbiosis, intestinal permeability, toxin burden, trauma, genetics, nutrient deficiencies, heavy metals, and more.

This is exactly why MCAS can be so difficult to deal with. If you only chase symptoms, you often stay stuck in a cycle of temporary relief without understanding what is continuing to drive the reactivity.

This is the 3-step process we use:
1. Stabilize the mast cells
2. Identify triggers + root causes
3. Eliminate triggers + address root causes

If you want more information on working with us inside Heal From Within, where we implement this exact 3-step process, comment HELP below and I'll send you a link with information and an application to book a quick call with me to talk more about your case and how we might be able to help you.

One condition. Dozens of symptoms, seemingly random, seemingly unrelated...

Most people miss it completely because you’re told it’s:
Hormones.
Gut issues.
Anxiety.
Aging.

But what if it’s actually one system driving all of it?

Mast cells live throughout your entire body - your gut, brain, skin, lungs, blood vessels, hormones - which is why symptoms can occur in ALL of these different areas.

They’re meant to protect you, like little alarms with active compounds held inside that should only degranulate (explode their contents) and sound the alarm when it's absolutely necessary - not when you take a shower that's a tad too warm or have a few sips of wine causing you to break out in hives. That happens when these little alarms are touchy and unstable.

And when they’re overactive…they release histamine, heparin, TNF-a, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, that flood the area and can cause symptoms like those you see above.

This can look like:
→ Gut issues + food reactions
→ Skin flares + flushing
→ Anxiety + brain fog + panic + insomnia
→ Fatigue + poor recovery
→ Hormone + immune dysfunction
→ Tachycardia + vertigo + syncope
→ And more...

This is why your symptoms don’t “fit in one box” and why this diagnosis is often overlooked. And it's also why so many people feel like they’re chasing symptoms in circle and never getting real answers.

If this is hitting a little too close to home—pay attention.

👉 Save this so you can come back to it
👉 Send it to someone who’s been told “everything looks normal”

What if your “PMS symptoms”… aren’t just PMS?

Mood swings.
Bloating.
Headaches.
Fatigue.
Anxiety.

You’re told it’s normal.
That it’s just your hormones.

But what if there’s another layer to this?
👉 Histamine + mast cells may be playing a role.

Mast cells release histamine as part of your immune response.
And estrogen can directly activate mast cells.

Which means during certain points in your cycle,
especially when estrogen fluctuates...
You may see:
→ More histamine release
→ More inflammation
→ More symptoms

This helps explain why some women notice:
Worse PMS
Mid-cycle symptom flares
Increased sensitivity to foods, stress, or environment

Here’s the tricky part…
The research in this area is still limited.
Testing isn’t always straightforward.
And many people are told everything is “normal.”

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a pattern.
And it doesn’t mean you have to just live with it.

Because when you zoom out,
this becomes less about “just hormones"…and more about how your immune system + hormones are interacting.

This is PART 1 of a 3-part series.
Tomorrow we’re diving into:
The symptoms of MCAS (you will be SHOCKED at how many are on that list!)

Then we’ll cover:
How you can actually work through reducing your MCAS issues instead of just chasing symptoms in circles.

Have you been struggling with gut health for ages with no end in sight? If so you NEED to download this free guide asap.

There are so many factors that can contribute to gut health like:
- microbiome imbalances (aka good and bad bacteria)
- immune function (did you know much of your immune system lives in your gut?!)
- barrier function (your gut lining protects YOU from the outside world!),
- gut brain axis (think of this like a super highway that impacts neurotransmitters, bowel function, mood and more)
- food sensitivities and allergies (and yes there's a different between the two!)

So there is NO quick fix, magic wand, silver bullet in gut health. If that's what you're looking for keep scrolling, because this isn't that.

If you ARE looking for some really important information on gut health, some tangible steps to start to take back control of your gut health (and therefore your overall health!) then YES this IS for you.

In some people - this will be enough - this free guide will forever change their life and their gut issues will be gone
(I know - I've seen it happen with some of my private clients using the tips contained in this free guide!).

In others, there will be more work to do (maybe A LOT MORE depending on the person!), but following this guide won't be a waste even for them - it's still absolutely critical to follow these directions to start to work on fixing your gut!

These foundations are more important than you know - nothing else you do will work without the FOUNDATIONS IN PLACE!

Stop wasting money on probiotics and gut peptides and download this FREE guide and start with the basics - and go from there.
