"I am so grateful to have found the Kale Diagnostics team. I have spent years consulting with multiple doctors and reproductive specialists who provided a one-size-fits-all approach to my hormone and infertility struggles without considering nutrition. I knew that I deserved more for my health journey and was tired of living with so many unexplained issues. I simply did not know where to turn and could not find a nutritionist in my area with a holistic approach. The team worked carefully to shape a plan to fit changes going on in my life and one for long-term success. Kale Diagnostics has provided the guidance, support, warmth, and kindness that I needed to make changes in my life and I am extremely grateful to have crossed paths with them!"

Tori's Journey to Wellness
"I chose to work with Kale Diagnostics because I had been following them for a while on Instagram," Tori begins, reflecting on the early days of her journey. "During that time, I was going through some difficult things with my health and not feeling like I was being heard by my medical practitioner. So, I decided to work with Kale Diagnostics because I felt like they understood that my problem might be not just surface level."
Her struggles were multifaceted, involving gut issues, hormonal imbalances, and mineral deficiencies. The conventional medical approach had failed to address these interconnected problems adequately. "I felt like they understood what I needed," she says. "And that's why I chose to work with them."
One of the most significant aspects of her experience was the level of personalized care she received. "My highlight working with Kale Diagnostics was the very intentional and personal care that I received from my practitioner," she explains. "I felt very seen and heard. I felt like what I was going through, I didn't feel crazy anymore. I felt like it was valid."
This sense of validation and understanding is crucial for anyone navigating complex health issues. It was this empathetic approach that made all the difference for her.
The insights and knowledge she gained during her time with Kale Diagnostics have stayed with her, shaping her daily routines and long-term health practices. "I gained so much knowledge when I was working with Kale Diagnostics. It's been a while since I had my time with them, but I feel like it's things that I've put into practice daily, into my life and into my health. That was a huge gain for me and I appreciate it so much."
This education in self-care and health maintenance continues to influence her daily life, empowering her to take control of her well-being.
Perhaps the most remarkable transformation she experienced was the healing of her gut. "One of my biggest health transformations when working with Kale Diagnostics was the healing of my gut," she shares. "Through all of the functional testing that we did, I realized I had an overgrowth that really needed to be taken care of. Learning about how to heal my gut to maintain it was huge for me, and I'm very thankful for that."
Tori's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. Her journey illustrates the potential of functional medicine to transform lives by focusing on the interconnectedness of bodily systems and providing personalized, empathetic care.

Maggie's Healing Journey
"Hi, my name is Maggie Quick, and I originally reached out to Kale Diagnostics and to Kourtney, the founder, because I was struggling to get a hold of several different health problems," Maggie begins. "Relating back to my Lyme diagnosis, I was struggling with weight, fatigue, brain fog, and overall lethargic symptoms. No one was helping me, and I felt like I was being put on an extreme amount of antibiotics without any true positive results. Kale Diagnostics was able to help me from there."
Maggie continues, explaining how her understanding of her body transformed. "Aside from my overall knowledge of how my body operates and how everything is connected, by focusing on one thing you are, in fact, focusing on all these other things because, again, everything is connected. That overall view of my body has helped so much. It has helped me be kinder and gentler to my body."
The most significant change she noticed was her weight loss. "When I started working with Kale Diagnostics and with Kourtney, I was over 215 pounds, and that was not normal for me. I had always been a very active person until my Lyme diagnosis. I was very skinny in early college and even in high school and middle school. This added weight was new. Now, I'm back around 180 pounds. I'm continuing on that journey in a healthy way and not in a diet way, which is beautiful."
Maggie speaks fondly of Kourtney, the founder of Kale Diagnostics, highlighting her expertise and the bond they formed. "Kourtney is just a gem of a human to work with. I started working with her back in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic. Everything recommended to me for my health and overall mental well-being, I'm now seeing become trends on social media and TikTok—adrenal cocktails, oil pulling, the benefit of checking your hormonal cycle, coming off of birth control. I knew about these things three years ago because Kourtney does her research. It’s comforting because when friends come to me, I can recommend Kale Diagnostics to them and say, 'This is where I learned this. Let me point you in this direction."
"I was able to do the program that allowed me to have monthly meetings with Kourtney. Those were easily scheduled, and if I had any conflicts, they were able to reschedule me. The testing was very thorough and easy to understand, and my results were explained to me, which was very helpful."
Maggie was drawn to Kale Diagnostics because of their comprehensive approach. "They didn't go through the avenues of traditional medicine. It was food and, if necessary, supplementation to help heal your body from the inside out and to look at the body as a whole. Within my first 15-minute consultation with Kourtney, I immediately fell in love with her easy-going personality, the knowledge she possessed, and the fact that she continued to research and improve her knowledge."
"There weren't going to be any more chemicals in my body. I was starting to go on a natural journey myself, and being provided with that in an affordable way, one that I could implement with my own lifestyle, was fantastic. Substituting different foods for more organic, healthy options without breaking the bank was beautiful."
Maggie's story highlights the profound impact of a connected approach to health, guided by knowledgeable and compassionate practitioners like Kourtney at Kale Diagnostics.

Madeleine's Journey with Kale Diagnostics
"I originally found Kale Diagnostics through Instagram," Madeleine shares. "I had been working on my health for a while and was dealing with some random symptoms. The posts on Instagram were super informational and really easy to understand. I was looking for answers about why I was experiencing these random symptoms. Through their Instagram page, I felt like this would be a good fit for me. After having my call with one of the practitioners, it completely confirmed that it was the perfect fit."
Madeleine found immense value in the education she received. "The highlights for me were the amount of education provided. There were no quick fixes to the issues I was dealing with, but I was so educated on what was going on with my body and ways to properly support it. I received recommendations on supplements and lifestyle factors, which have made a huge difference in my life. All the practitioners are super knowledgeable. Any question I had was never left unanswered."
The transformation she experienced was profound. "After working with Kale Diagnostics, I truly know my body and am in tune with it more than I ever have been in my entire life. I felt so validated when my lab results came back and were interpreted from a more comprehensive perspective. It confirmed how I was feeling, and the symptoms I was experiencing were real. It gave me hope because I knew progress could be made. I now have tools that I can use to continue to feel better and get better every day."
One of the biggest changes for Madeleine was addressing her anxiety and sleep issues. "When I first started working with Kale Diagnostics, I had a lot of anxiety and nervousness and wasn't sleeping well. My hormone results showed my cortisol was really high. Balancing my blood sugar and taking supplements helped a little, but the biggest change came after encouragement from the practitioners. I decided to get a new job because I identified it as the source of my stress and anxiety. Since then, I have been so much less anxious, I sleep better, and I finally have energy again."
Reflecting on this decision, Madeleine realizes how crucial the lab results were. "I don't think I would have had it in me to get a different job if I hadn't seen how high my cortisol was. That confirmation pushed me to make that change in my life, and I am so much happier. I feel so much better."
Madeleine's story underscores the power of understanding your body and making informed changes to improve your health and well-being.
Madeleine Zignego Interview
Kay's Journey with Kale Diagnostics
"So I went with Kale Diagnostics because I came across their profile on Instagram," Kay begins. "I took a leap of faith after looking at their website and having some initial conversations with their practitioners. I felt that the dietary issues I was facing and a lot of the unknowns about my lifelong diet could be addressed by them. They provided me with a lot of knowledge, wisdom, protocols, and tests. I'm glad I took that leap of faith—it was better than I could have hoped for, and I got amazing results."
Kay highlights some of her favorite aspects of working with Kale Diagnostics. "The first highlight was the classes and weekly information I could dive into, along with work recordings if I missed a class, and a whole community to tap into. The second favorite thing was being able to do an HTMA test, a Dutch hormone test, and a GI map. All three provided a wealth of information. The practitioners gave me updated protocols and clear guidance on what I needed to alter in my diet, making it easy to understand and implement."
Reflecting on her journey, Kay shares, "I gained so much from the Kale Diagnostics program. About a year and a half ago, I was in total shambles after my second miscarriage that year. I felt desperate for answers, thinking there was something wrong with me. Through the HTMA test, the Dutch hormone test, and the GI map, I discovered that my body wasn't getting the nutrients it needed. The practitioners provided a protocol that was easy to follow, and I got my body back on track. A year later, I'm happy to announce that I'm pregnant, in my second trimester, and super healthy."
Kay's health transformation was significant. "I didn't know that my thyroid wasn't functioning, my hormones weren't metabolizing, and I had an overgrowth of H. pylori bacteria in my gut. These issues were normalized in my life until the tests revealed what needed to be changed. Working with the practitioners made the changes very applicable. The transformation included increased energy, a calmer nervous system, and the removal of H. pylori, which significantly reduced my anxiety. And now, I'm pregnant with my first child and in the second trimester."
Concluding her story, Kay expresses her gratitude, "All in all, I am so happy that I chose Kale Diagnostics and would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone in my friend and family circle. They've seen me change so much, and I want this for everyone. So, thank you so much to the practitioners. I'm super grateful."

From Endless Migraines to Motherhood: Lexi's Journey with Kale Diagnostics
"Hi, my name is Lexi Chase. I'm a mom, a wife, and a photographer. In 2022, I started working with Kale Diagnostics. I've always suffered from severe migraines, but at that time, they intensified to about 11 a week, which was overwhelming," Lexi begins. "Additionally, I was dealing with very irregular periods and symptoms related to PCOS, along with severe stomach issues. So, there were quite a few health challenges I was facing."
Lexi's decision to seek help was influenced by a close friend's positive experience. "One of my best friends worked with them as well, and seeing her success, I decided to give it a try. It truly changed my life."
Reflecting on her health improvements, Lexi shares, "Since beginning my journey with Kale Diagnostics, every area of my health has improved dramatically. Initially, I hoped they would help me reach the best possible health to conceive, carry, and have a child. I'm actually sitting in my baby's nursery right now, which is a testament to how far I've come. My migraines have also drastically reduced; during my pregnancy, I experienced only one migraine over nine months, which is nothing short of miraculous."
Lexi appreciates the comprehensive and understanding approach that Kale Diagnostics provided. "The knowledge I've gained about living a healthy, metabolism-friendly lifestyle has improved all aspects of my life and my family's life. I would 1000% recommend Kale Diagnostics to my friends and family." She continues, "Working with the Kale Diagnostics team was truly awesome. They were so responsive, kind, and personable, which I loved. Even when my practitioner was on maternity leave, her team was quick to loop me in and take care of me, which says a lot about the business."
Lexi found the approach of Kale Diagnostics particularly impactful. "What stood out to me initially was that instead of just treating my symptoms superficially, they helped me understand that there was something deeper going on, likely all connected. They focused on curing the root cause of my issues. This was a concept I had never really heard of before, and it drew me in immediately."
Lexi concludes, "They took the time to get to know me as a person. I never felt rushed in our sessions, and they were always personable yet professional. Knowing they genuinely cared made a huge difference. Their comprehensive care and genuine personality have not only improved my health but also enriched my life in many ways."

Symptoms are Messengers: Danielle's Journey to Understanding Her Body with Kale Diagnostics
Danielle Davey's journey to Kale Diagnostics started from a place of frustration with conventional medicine. "As a teenager, I dealt with acne and was quickly put on birth control. I had chronic migraines, at one point suffering 28 days out of the month, and the solution was always another pill. I couldn’t sleep at night, and yes, there was a pill for that too," Danielle recounts. By her early twenties, she felt like a shell of herself, heavily medicated and profoundly unhappy.
"I remember thinking, why? My body is trying to tell me something, but what?" Danielle’s turning point came when she felt dismissed by her primary care physician, who insisted that medication was the only way to manage her symptoms. This experience propelled her toward functional and integrative medicine. "I wanted to work with a practitioner that empowered me and helped me get to the root cause of what’s going on. That’s exactly what Kale Diagnostics has done for me."
Danielle emphasizes that at Kale Diagnostics, symptoms are seen as messengers. "My body is a powerful thing, and it’s trying to tell me that something is wrong. I wanted to work with someone who would listen to my body and find out what is truly going on, not just manage symptoms but treat the root cause for long-term impacts."
Working with Kale Diagnostics, Danielle felt seen and heard for the first time. "I felt like my practitioner cared about my health as much as I did, which was something I had never experienced before." Another significant aspect of her treatment was learning about the power of food and nutrition. "Learning how food can heal my body was one of the biggest highlights for me."
Danielle is candid about her ongoing journey. "I am not one of those people who has worked with the team for just a few months and become a new person. It's been years, and every minute has been worth it." She has gained more energy and is still working on overcoming chronic fatigue. The focus on nutrition pulled her out of a dark energetic place.
"Education has been powerful. I better understand what my body needs and when—what I need to eat, what I should sometimes avoid, and listening to the clues that my body is giving me, like needing more rest or more protein."
Danielle's story with Kale Diagnostics underscores the importance of listening to and understanding the body’s messages rather than silencing symptoms with medication. Her journey reflects a transformative shift towards a holistic understanding of health, demonstrating the profound impacts of integrative and functional medicine.
Danielle Davey
"I started working with the Kale Diagnostics team because I really wanted to heal any internal hormonal and gut issues to hopefully clear my skin. I have struggled with acne for 12 years and I knew something needed to change. I decided to invest in myself by investing in high level 1:1 support and it has truly changed my life. I have hardly been breaking out, I literally have the clearest skin of my life (I’ve done everything from accutane to retinol and every other diet you could think of). Also, my digestion is on POINT, my periods are way less painful, and I have so much more energy. I have seen so many different health professionals but Kale Diagnostics looked at my lifestyle habits, my background, and all the in betweens to come up with the perfect plan for me, that actually worked. My practitioner even took into account that I struggled with disorderly eating in the past and assessed that into creating my protocol. If you are on the fence about taking this step - just do it! It will change your life!"

"Working with Kale Diagnostics finally gave me answers in terms of what was actually going on with me. I went to numerous doctors who told me I must just have anxiety but I knew it was so much deeper than that. My practitioner listened to me and treated me like my problems actually mattered! I went from barely being able to get out of bed to back to having energy and living my normal life. I could have never figured out what to eat and what supplements to take without their (individualized) help and THAT is priceless!"
Echo Raphel
Client Review
"They were so thorough in establishing a health history and getting a grasp on what it is I’m struggling with. I’ve already been raving about their approach to all of my friends and family, I would recommend reaching out and applying to work with the Kale Diagnostics team if you are finally ready to SERIOUSLY take charge of your health and experience healing."
Fern Pratt

"We found that I was dealing with SIBO, Hashimoto’s, and a poor-functioning liver, among many other things. Since addressing these concerns, my acne has significantly cleared up, my thyroid is functioning better than it has in a while (even than it was when I was on medication), my liver is finally starting to detox properly, and my periods are consistently 28 days apart and less painful. I am on my way to no longer qualifying for a PCOS diagnosis, and it is all because of Kale Diagnostics help."
Samantha Snyder
Client Review
"Kale Diagnostics approach and guidance was individualized to my specific needs, and they guided me every step of the way with thorough meal planning, supplementation, and loving conversation. It is with their help that I have regulated my cycle after years of irregularity, learned to treat food as medicine rather than an enemy, and have become the healthiest I have been in years. I cannot recommend working with Kale Diagnostics enough. Their heart and sincere care for every one of their clients is incredible and they are the best team you could ask for when choosing to re-claim your health as a top priority in your life. Thank you for not only helping me heal my body through nutrition, but helping me learn how to love myself again."
Mara Roznowski
Client Review
Chronic was the definition of my health before working with Kale Diagnostics. Anemia, fatigue, bloat, headaches, exhaustion - that was just life as I knew it. I began working with them because I had no idea where to begin. It seemed like my health concerns were a giant web of issues and I had no idea which path to take or in what order to address them. All I knew was that I was tired of being tired + bloated. I knew there had to be more to life - and that's where Kale Diagnostics came in. They were the first to really listen and string together every concern big & small. And most importantly: They were the first to have a plan that wasn't just taking iron supplements. I knew from the very beginning that I was working with the right team who had a solution rather than a bandaid- finally. And because Kale Diagnostics is in the business of not providing bandaids, my time working with them has been far more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. The methods doctors were using to "heal" were actually harming me. The root cause was found where no one but Kale Diagnostics looked. No doctor or specialist ever mentioned gut health - but that was exactly where they began. I didn't need iron, I needed to heal my gut. Despite the complexities of my case, they never wavered in their support and commitment to my healing journey. They were right there for every high and low. Their knowledge and confidence in their practice assured me that we were going to tackle this thing. I now know what true living feels like - and I owe it all to Kale Diagnostics and their solution-focused approach to healing through nutrition.

I feel empowered to make healthy eating choices and nourish my body in a way that is not restrictive.

"I have been empowered with education to know what I need to do to support my body and what my body specifically needs! It's crazy to understand that once your body heals in the correct way, it knows what it can and can't handle and will tell you! Alongside the nutrition, Kale Diagnostics has helped me understand the importance of making lifestyle choices to help me manage stress which in turn affects my body and has helped me learn and implement rhythms that overall are helping me become a better and more healthy me! If you're wanting to learn, and gain more of an understanding of how to support your specific body while healing from the inside out, Kale Diagnostics is the team for you!! It is more than worth the investment."
