Most people assume probiotics are always good for gut health, but that isn’t always true.

Karen Raden explains: if you’re dealing with gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, a probiotic may actually make things worse, especially if the root cause is SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).

Up to 60–70% of IBS is actually SIBO, and the only way to know is with a simple at-home breath test. If SIBO is the cause, you need a targeted plan, not random supplements.

At Raden Wellness, we specialize in gut health, testing, and personalized treatment plans to get to the root cause.

New research has officially linked lupus to a virus that nearly all of us carry: the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV).

For decades, lupus has been one of the most complex autoimmune conditions to understand. This new study finally explains how EBV can trigger an autoimmune cascade by infecting the very cells that are prone to attacking the body.

This finding could completely reshape how we diagnose, treat, and even prevent autoimmune diseases.

At Raden Wellness, we’re committed to uncovering root causes, understanding immune patterns, and empowering patients with answers.

Curious about your immune health or autoimmune risk? Book a complimentary intro call via our link in bio.

Creatine isn’t just for gym bros, and if you’re a woman, especially in perimenopause or menopause, it might be one of the most impactful supplements you’re not taking.

Creatine naturally fuels your muscles and your brain by powering ATP, your body’s energy currency. With over 1,000 peer-reviewed studies, it’s one of the most researched, safest, and most effective supplements on the planet.

For women, creatine has been shown to:
✅ Preserve muscle during hormonal shifts
✅ Support cognition & memory
✅ Improve mitochondrial function
✅ Protect bone density
✅ Support mood and energy

And the myths?
🚫 No, it doesn’t cause bloating.
🚫 No, it doesn’t damage the kidneys.
Those claims have been thoroughly debunked.

If you care about your muscle, mood, and mitochondria, creatine isn’t optional, it’s foundational.

For this, we are genuinely… not sorry. But in the spirit of transparency, we felt this statement was necessary.

At Raden Wellness, you’re not a diagnosis. You’re a human with extraordinary potential. And if supporting you in living not just longer, but extraordinarily well, has created any inconvenience, we’ll try to do it again.

What are three things you can start doing today that make a long-lasting impact on your health without overhauling your entire routine?

Functional Medicine Nutritionist Karen Raden, MS, RDN, LDN breaks it down into simple, sustainable habits:

1️⃣ Stop eating after dinner. Give your body time to rest, digest, and keep blood sugar balanced overnight.

2️⃣ Prioritize fiber, fat and protein in the morning. Think MCT oil or coconut milk in your morning beverage, a handful of nuts, or a protein-forward breakfast. This keeps insulin steady and prevents the spike-and-crash cycle.

3️⃣ Don’t let yourself get overly hungry. When blood sugar dips too low, cravings hit hard (and it’s never for broccoli).

Plan ahead. Carry snacks. Keep your energy stable throughout the day.

These three habits support metabolic health, balanced blood sugar, sustained energy, and better decision-making throughout your day.

What does optimal hormone health look like? It’s about feeling energized, focused, and motivated, not just having “normal” lab results.

At Raden Wellness, we look beyond the standard range to find your personal optimal, comparing where your levels are today to where they were when you felt your best.

Because “normal” isn’t always optimal.

Using a GLP? Here’s what no one tells you: the real results come from what you do next.

GLPs can jumpstart weight loss, but without proper nutrition, your body can lose valuable muscle, slow metabolism, and struggle to sustain results.

That’s where Karen Raden, MS, RD, CCN comes in.

With 25+ years of experience and over 15,000 clients served, Karen helps women thrive on and off GLPs through functional, personalized nutrition that supports:
✔️ Muscle preservation + metabolism
✔️ Hormone, hair, and bone health
✔️ Energy, mood, and emotional balance
✔️ Long-term, sustainable results

GLPs change your appetite, and personalized nutrition strategies can change your biology in the long run. This is how you make your results last.

Your labs can be normal and you can still feel off.

That’s because “normal” lab ranges are based on the average population and the average person is sick.

Conventional medicine uses population data to define what’s “normal.” But when 6 in 10 adults have a chronic condition, “normal” becomes a reflection of illness, not health.

At Raden Wellness, we take a functional approach. We look beyond disease detection to identify early signs of dysfunction (patterns in your hormones, blood sugar, inflammation, and nutrient status) long before symptoms spiral into diagnosis.

Because the goal isn’t to be “within range.” It’s to be optimal.

Not all estrogen is created equal and understanding the difference can change everything about how you feel.

Estrogen isn’t just one hormone. It’s actually three (estradiol, estrone, and estriol), each with unique roles in your body. From energy and mood to metabolism and skin health, balance between these estrogens (and with progesterone) determines how you show up every day.

Not all estrogen comes from you. Compounds in your environment, like plastics, pesticides, and synthetic fragrances, can mimic estrogen and throw your system off balance. Meanwhile, natural phytoestrogens from foods like flax and soy can help regulate healthy function.

When estrogen and progesterone fall out of sync (whether in perimenopause, PCOS, or chronic stress) symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and mood swings appear. The solution? Precision testing and individualized care that identifies which estrogens dominate, how you’re metabolizing them, and how to bring your hormones back into alignment.
