Lose the weight. Rebalance your body.
Feel like yourself again.

I help high-achieving women finally get answers.

Through functional medicine lab testing and integrative health practices, I help you uncover what’s actually going on in your body so you can heal from the inside out and show up as the most confident version of yourself.

Al through a holistic approach rooted in nutrition, movement, and mindset.
This program is for you if you experience:
  • Stubborn weight gain, bloating, or water retention
  • Hormone imbalances — hot flashes, irregular cycles, disrupted sleep
  • Digestive issues (gas, reflux, constipation, or SIBO-like symptoms)
  • Low energy, fatigue, and brain fog that's hard to push through
  • "Normal" conventional labs — but you know something is off
  • Frustration after trying every diet, cleanse, and supplement alone
  • A desire for real answers, a real plan, and someone in your corner

Stuck in the loop

  • Conventional labs that come back "normal" — but you still feel off
  • Endless online research & analysis paralysis
  • FAD diets, restriction, and shiny-object supplements
  • One-size-fits-all advice that ignores your hormones & gut
  • Trying to figure it all out alone
  • Being offered medication before real answers
The Gardiner Way

Rooted in real data

  • Functional medicine lab testing that uncovers the root cause
  • 1:1 support that actually prioritizes you
  • Education, accountability, and real implementation
  • Custom protocols built around your labs and goals
  • A structured plan — with someone in your corner
  • Sustainable habits, not restriction

The foundation of healing

It all starts in the gut

Hormones, mood, immunity, weight, skin, energy — they all trace back to one place. Your gut isn't just where you digest food. It's where your body decides whether you'll feel inflamed or vibrant, anxious or calm, exhausted or alive. That's why every Gardiner Wellness protocol begins here.

21-Day Functional Medicine Detox · Powered by EquiLife

The Anti-Inflammatory & Weight Management Protocol

A guided, science-backed 21-day reset designed to gently activate your liver's two-phase detoxification — so your body can finally release stored toxins, reduce inflammation, and unlock the changes that diet and exercise alone can't touch.

01

Phase 1 — Activation

Functionalization · CYP450 Pathway
Your liver activates fat-soluble toxins — environmental chemicals, hormonal byproducts, processed-food residues — and converts them into reactive intermediates the body can begin to eliminate. This phase actually creates free radicals, which is exactly why it requires the right antioxidant and B-vitamin support.

Supported by

  • B-complex
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E
  • Milk thistle
  • NAC
  • Cruciferous greens

02

Phase 2 — Conjugation

Binding · Excretion
Those activated toxins are now found to amino acids, sulfur, and methyl donors. This makes them water-soluble so the body can safely flush them via bile, stool, and urine. If you skip Phase 2 detoxification, the body recirculates these toxins instead of releasing them. This is where deep healing happens.

Supported by

  • Glutathione
  • Glycine & taurine
  • Sulfur foods
  • Methyl donors
  • Glutamine
  • Hydration
When both phases run cleanly together, your body stops storing what it can't process — and starts healing what it's been compensating for.

What this unlocks for you

Easier Weight Release

Your body can finally let go of fat stores it was using to sequester toxins.

Calmer Hormones

Estrogen, cortisol, and thyroid signals process and clear the way they're meant to.

Less Inflammation

Joint pain, bloating, breakouts, brain fog and water retention quietly recede.

Steady Energy

No more 3pm crashes — your mitochondria stop fighting a backed-up toxic load.

Sharper Mind

Mental clarity, mood balance, and the kind of focus that used to feel out of reach.

Resilient Gut

A lighter toxic burden gives your microbiome the space to repopulate and thrive.

Meet Kara

Your Integrative Health Practitioner

I'm Kara — a certified Integrative Health Practitioner on a mission to help women finally understand their bodies, heal from the root, and feel good in their skin again.

I built Gardiner Wellness after watching too many women get dismissed by conventional care — told their labs were "normal" while they struggled with weight, bloating, mood swings, exhaustion, and hormones that felt completely out of control. I believe your symptoms are real, your body is asking for something, and there is a way to get to the bottom of it without restriction, guesswork, or another round of medications.

Through functional medicine lab testing, 1:1 support, and sustainable lifestyle changes, I help you build a plan that actually fits your life — so you can stop surviving and start thriving.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) is trained to look at the body as a whole, interconnected system. Instead of managing symptoms, I use functional medicine lab testing and lifestyle interventions to uncover and address the root cause of imbalance — so real healing is possible.

No. This is not about restriction or punishment. We build a sustainable nutrition and movement plan around your life, your preferences, and your lab results — because long-term change doesn't come from a crash diet.

Yes. Integrative coaching complements (not replaces) your medical care. I always recommend working alongside your doctor, and I'll never tell you to stop a medication. Instead, we focus on the lifestyle, nutrition, and lab-guided support that addresses root causes.

Most clients start noticing shifts in energy, sleep, bloating, or mood within the first few weeks of their custom protocol. The 4-month container is intentional — it gives your body the time to actually heal and for habits to become permanent.

Women ages 35–55 who are ready to take a root-cause approach to weight, hormones, gut health, and energy. If you've tried "everything," felt dismissed by conventional care, or want a real plan with real support — this is for you.

Functional labs measure things standard bloodwork doesn't — like mineral imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, gut dysbiosis, yeast overgrowth, nutrient status, and stress markers. They help explain why you feel the way you feel, even if your conventional labs are "normal."

That's one of the most common reasons women end up here. Conventional labs use very wide ranges and miss a lot. The functional labs we run look deeper — at the patterns, deficiencies, and imbalances that can explain your symptoms even when everything else looks "fine."
