Hi, I’m Kate Rich- Your Functional Health Detective

I help people who are done feeling tired, frustrated, and unlike themselves, to finally understand why and what to do about it.

 

You've done the labs... Been to many appointments. And you're still being told everything looks "normal" — even though you know something's off. I help you uncover what your body has been trying to tell you, even when nobody else can.

Maybe you've been told your symptoms are just part of getting older, or something you'll have to live with. I want you to know there's more to the story.

Your symptoms are messages, not mysteries to be dismissed. They're clues.

Let's find out what they're telling you.

Here's the short version of how I got here.

I became the practitioner I spent years looking for.

I was raised to believe the body is always communicating. My dad was a chiropractor — when something felt off in our house, we didn't reach for the aspirin. We investigated.

Then I had three kids, and things started to shift. Small at first — the kind of thing you brush off. Then it wasn't. Skin issues out of nowhere. Weight gain that made no sense. My energy gone. The brain fog. My libido in the tank.

My doctor told me it was normal — I was in my 30s with three kids. My OBGYN offered me birth control, then antidepressants, then told me to buy some lingerie and take a weekend away.

I said no thank you. Because deep down, I knew this wasn't normal. And it wasn't me.

So I decided to figure it out myself, since no one else would. It took six years of trial and error before I found what had been missing the entire time: functional labs. For the first time, I could actually see what was happening inside my body. I could test, not guess. And everything made sense.

That's the work I do with every client now. Not managing symptoms — reading them. Because your body was never broken. It's been trying to tell you something the whole time. After 17 years of doing this work, I help you learn how to listen.

 

Functional labs provide the spark to light the fire inside.

I know what it feels like to finally see real answers in your own labs — and feel validated — after years of being told everything looks fine. It's not just information. It's permission to stop doubting yourself.

Watching that same shift happen for my clients is what led me to get certified in Functional Medicine. I wanted more than coaching intuition. I wanted the data to back it up.

Today, I work with clients from all over the world, helping them uncover the root causes behind what they've been living with — not just manage it. My clients don't just get answers. They learn to read their own bodies, so they're not dependent on anyone else to translate it for them again.

I work with humans of all ages and through every stage of life.

 
I've personally been through weight loss struggles, hormone imbalances, pregnancies, surgeries, and a divorce that reshaped everything. I have a special place in my heart for divorced moms — life's stressors can throw some real health challenges your way, and I'm here to help you through it.
 
Today I'm remarried, with a blended family spanning young adults in college to a teenager still at home — coughs and colds, sports injuries, hormone shifts, digestive issues, teen acne, college life, I've seen it across every age and stage. I especially love working with kids and teens, because their bodies respond so quickly once you give them what they actually need.
 
Whatever stage of life you're in, I've likely lived some version of it — and I know how to help you find your way through.
