About Kale Diagnostics
Why We're Different
"Our approach is rooted in functional medicine, a science-driven practice that views your health as a complex, interconnected system. Modern medical care is rarely unified, with various specialists lacking communication and understanding of your specific needs and treatments. We provide the most reliable and affordable access possible to a method of care that leaves no stone unturned as we explore your unique biology.
Your health symptoms deserve a long-term solution instead of a temporary fix. While modern medicine has brought many advancements, it often misses the mark when it comes to genuine healing. We understand the pathology of disease and utilize the medicinal mechanisms found within nature to provoke change in your bodily systems. By drawing upon the clinical correlations in your unique health data, we make the best suggestions for your health. If you crave cautious care that prioritizes your safety and ultimate well-being, you are in the right place.
We are here for you throughout every twist and turn of your health journey. When you become a client, we address immediate symptoms while also building a resilient foundation for lasting wellness. We're not after a quick fix; we are here to help you build a healthy body to support you for the long haul.
With us, you are heard, validated, and understood. Empathy drives the connection we share, and you can rest well knowing that we will never dim our commitment to your highest good and ultimate well-being. We empower you with the knowledge and skills to manage your well-being independently, enabling you to make informed decisions and providing you with the tools to sustain long-term health."

Meet The Founders
Kale Diagnostics was born from the shared vision of Kourtney and Stephen Simmang, a husband-and-wife team dedicated to revolutionizing healthcare through functional medicine. Kourtney’s own journey of overcoming chronic health issues through functional medicine inspired her to help others. Seeing the profound benefits in her life and in the lives of her clients, she and Stephen realized the need to bring these powerful health solutions to a broader audience. Together, they saw a significant gap in conventional healthcare and felt compelled to provide an alternative that is reliable, affordable, and personalized. Driven by a commitment to addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just managing symptoms, they founded Kale Diagnostics. Their mission is to offer a compassionate, individualized approach to health that ensures every client feels heard, valued, and understood. At Kale Diagnostics, they focus on creating lasting wellness by crafting personalized care plans that build a robust foundation for enduring health. Kale Diagnostics exists to empower individuals to reclaim their health and achieve optimal well-being through comprehensive, functional medicine.

Kale Diagnostics can directly accept HSA and FSA payment for full coverage. We are not in- network with any health insurance providers, so we do not accept insurance directly, but we are able to facilitate health insurance reimbursement at no additional cost. Many of our clients get partial reimbursement from insurance. Another avenue for our clients to afford our services is through Affirm or Klarna. With Affirm and Klarna, low monthly payments are made possible.
At Kale Diagnostics, we do not provide formal medical diagnoses or direct treatments. Instead, we offer comprehensive health assessments and personalized wellness plans through advanced functional lab testing. "Diagnostics" reflects our commitment to a thorough and investigative approach to understanding health. At its core, diagnostics involves collecting data, identifying health patterns, analyzing results, and formulating insights to uncover underlying issues. Through our detailed analyses, many clients have been able to go back to their medical doctor to receive an accurate diagnosis after years of chronic mystery illness.
For some, their journey with Kale Diagnostics is a 180-degree, life-changing experience that provides relief from a laundry list of symptoms and years of struggle. For others, we are a helpful stop in their continued journey. The majority of our clients (83%) do see symptom reduction within the first three months, and while we cannot guarantee results, we are always committed to providing the very best and most comprehensive care.
While the average primary care doctor in America spends a mere 20 minutes per year with each patient, we at Kale Diagnostics prioritize investing quality time in understanding your unique health profile. Our comprehensive services, including lab tests and personalized nutritional support, reflect the additional time and attention we devote to each client, which often proves to be a transformative investment in their long-term health. Although our detailed approach might mean higher upfront costs, we strive to make it as accessible as possible. Not only do we accept HSA and FSA and provide insurance superbills for potential reimbursement, but we've also partnered with Affirm to offer flexible financing. With low monthly installments, we ensure our dedicated, in-depth care is within your reach, regardless of immediate financial constraints.
Western medicine is limited in its ability to support root-cause health outcomes. With short visits and a primary focus on pharmaceuticals and non-lifestyle interventions, our approach is vastly different from the standard of care you are used to receiving. With unlimited messaging, in-depth appointments, and frequent symptom tracking, we carry the weight of intentionality in your health. Upon request, we will provide an explanation of lab results to your doctor, so that medical changes (medication, etc.) can be made if needed.
You’re in great hands and able to work with us no matter your existing condition(s), prescription medications, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or wanting to become pregnant. We provide suggestions based on you and your needs, thoroughly analyzing your unique situation before making recommendations.
Our Services
At Kale Diagnostics, we offer four levels of personalized health support to fit your unique needs. Each plan provides in-depth consultations, advanced lab testing, and customized health protocols, designed to address the root causes of your symptoms. Whether you're looking for foundational guidance or a comprehensive health overhaul, we have options for everyone. Plus, we make it accessible with low monthly payment plans, ensuring you receive the care you need without financial stress.
Using Affirm: Rates from 0–36% APR. Payment options through Affirm are subject to an eligibility check and are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders.
