Big shoutout to our Employee of the Month, Kelsi Goans 👏

Kelsi is the definition of “Challenge Accepted”, and that’s exactly why she earned this month’s Challenge Accepted Award!

Whether it’s a packed schedule, a curveball case, or one of those “quick questions” that turns into anything but quick… she shows up every time with skill, confidence, and just the right amount of sass.

Her ability to step up, take ownership, and find real solutions doesn’t go unnoticed. Kelsi has a way of turning obstacles into opportunities, all while bringing a positive, can-do energy that lifts up the entire team.

We’re so grateful to have you on the Kare team, Kelsi, congratulations! 🎉

Health isn’t always about doing more, it’s about doing what actually matters 🤍

Sometimes the biggest shift comes from slowing down, asking the right questions, and understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface.

At Kare, we focus on getting to the root cause so your body can function the way it’s meant to, because real health starts with clarity, not just more effort.

Earth Day is a reminder that our environment and our health are more connected than we often realize 🌎🤍

The air we breathe, the water we drink, and even the products we use every day all play a role in our overall well-being.

Many common household items contain chemicals that can add to our body’s total toxic load over time. The good news, small, simple changes can make a meaningful difference.

Swapping to glass storage, reducing synthetic fragrances, and choosing cleaner products are easy places to start.

At Kare, we believe it’s not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about building awareness and making better choices when it makes sense for you.

Small steps, over time, can have a big impact 🤍

Brain fog is one of the most common things we hear from patients 🤍
Trouble focusing, low mental clarity, feeling like you’re not quite yourself… it’s more common than you think.

What many people don’t realize is how much your nutrient status, especially minerals, can impact how your brain functions.

Minerals play a key role in things like nerve signaling, energy production, and neurotransmitter balance… all of which directly affect focus, clarity, and mental stamina.

And even if you’re eating well, deficiencies can still happen. Stress, gut health, absorption issues, soil quality, and higher demands on the body can all play a role.

At Kare, we look deeper to understand why symptoms like brain fog are happening, so we can support the body in a more targeted, personalized way.

Because brain fog isn’t random, it’s often a signal worth paying attention to.

“Nonstick” might not be as harmless as it sounds… 👀

New research shows that when PTFE-coated (nonstick) pans get scratched, they can release measurable amounts of microplastics, sometimes even millions of particles from heavily worn surfaces.

We’re still learning how microplastics interact with the body, but one thing is clear: minimizing everyday exposures where you can is a simple way to support long-term health.

At Kare, this is part of the bigger picture. It’s not about fear or throwing everything out overnight, it’s about small, intentional swaps that reduce your overall toxic load over time.

If your pans are scratched or worn, it may be worth considering alternatives like stainless steel or cast iron as a next step.

Reducing your toxic load doesn’t have to mean doing everything perfectly, it starts with awareness and small, consistent changes 🤍

Many everyday products contain chemicals that can add up over time. While the body has its own built-in detox systems, being mindful of what you’re exposed to can help support overall balance and long-term health.

This isn’t about throwing everything out or overhauling your life overnight. It’s about simple, realistic swaps that gradually reduce the burden on your body.

Start small. Stay consistent. Choose better when it makes sense for you.
Because sustainable change is what truly makes the difference.

Emerging research is taking a closer look at ultra-processed foods, not just what they contain, but how they’re designed 👀

A recent analysis highlights some interesting parallels between past to***co industry strategies and modern food formulation. Many ultra-processed foods are intentionally engineered for hyper-palatability, combining refined carbs, added fats, sodium, and flavor enhancers in ways that can strongly stimulate the brain’s reward pathways and keep you coming back for more.

This doesn’t mean these foods are the same as to***co, but it does raise important questions about how product design may influence eating habits, metabolism, and long-term health.

Large population studies continue to show that higher intake of ultra-processed foods is associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic conditions, inflammation, and overall health outcomes.

At Kare, we take a balanced approach, focusing on supporting the body with whole, nutrient-dense foods while recognizing that real life isn’t about perfection.

Sometimes, just understanding why certain foods are so hard to resist can be a powerful first step.
