About

Hi! My name is Kelynn Brengelman (think Key-lynn),

You may be thinking: “Who is this Key girl, and why does she think she can tell me about my health? Is she a doctor or something?” Well no, I am not a doctor, but I do have a strong passion for health, wellness, and an affinity for passing my knowledge along to others. Other than my passion, I do have a few things that can attribute to my credibility:
