Bliss Wellness Center - Austin, Texas

Dr. Kristy has helped me find balance in my own body, more than any other provider ever has. I only wish I decided to try functional medicine sooner. She takes her time to thoroughly get to know her patients, not just their physical struggles but other components of one’s life that may affect general health and well-being. I feel like I’ve made a 360 degree turn in my health under Dr. Kristy’s care. I feel ease, peace and stability in my body like I’ve never known.

I've been seeing Dr. Kristy 1-2 times per week for a little over 1 month, and am already experiencing a major improvement in my overall health. I've been to numerous doctors for some hormone related issues. My first 2 appointments were very long and in depth, as Dr. Kristy reviews everything about your medical history, diet, lifestyle etc. I was looking for a more natural way to manage stress and feel better & using acupuncture, diet/lifestyle changes, and Chinese medicine Dr. Kristy has been able to get me on the right path!

I have been seeing Dr. Kristy McKendrick for over 2 years now, and am so happy with the way her treatment has helped my overall well being! She is very smart and kind and her advise, acupuncture, and supplements continue making me stronger. I no longer have hot flashes, mood swings, pain, migraines, etc.! I am a believer in supplements and now am a believer in eastern herbal supplements. I would not be doing as well as I am today without them. Also, I love that Dr. Kristy did a telemedicine meeting with me to keep up with things during the quarantine. She is the best doctor! Highly recommend her!

I sought out Dr. McKendrick's expertise during a period of significant health challenges. My menstrual cycles were irregular, I battled frequent illnesses, and my energy levels were alarmingly low. Curious about integrative medicine, I made the decision to invest in my well-being and seek Dr. McKendrick's assistance.

Immediately, Dr. McKendrick's direct and no-nonsense approach to her practice really resonated with me. She outlined that my healing journey was a collaborative effort. While she committed to guiding me, providing essential supplements my body lacked, and enabling my progress, she emphasized the importance of my dedication. I needed to take my health seriously, maintain consistency, and trust the process, understanding that results would manifest over time, not overnight. During our regular meetings, she steered our approach based on what was working for me, and what wasn't.

By the second month under Dr. McKendrick's care, I noticed a considerable improvement in my well-being. My immunity strengthened, my menstrual cycles regulated, and unexpectedly, other aspects of my health started to transform. By the fourth month, I had lost 20 pounds, my skin cleared, and allergy flare-ups decreased significantly. This progress was a testament to our collaborative efforts, me holding up my end of the deal, and she hers.

Fast forward six months from when I started with Dr. McKendrick, and I am astounded by the transformative impact on my health. I've shed over 35 pounds, and I continue to witness the positive effects on my hormones and energy levels. This is just the beginning of a lifelong commitment to my health. I never adopted a rigorous exercise routine, I didn't cut out all carbs and sugar, I didn't spend thousands on a magical pill. My journey involved taking it one day at a time, prioritizing consistent care for my body, embracing proper supplements, ensuring adequate sleep, and crucially, following the expert guidance of Dr. McKendrick. Together, we've seen the light at the end of the tunnel for me, and it's shining so brightly.

If I could give 10 stars I would. I can’t say enough about what an amazing positive experience this had been for my daughter. After a sprained ankle left her with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and not walking for 7 months. We spent most of those months seeing specialist after specialist with no actual results. Dr Kristy went above and beyond in her initial consultation. She didn’t just look at her ankle she went outside of the box and looked at every possible angle and then looked again to make sure no stone was left unturned. It’s been hard work, but Dr Kristy has her up and walking. We couldn’t be happier with the progress my daughter has made!

Dr. Kristy helped me resolve and improve a few health conditions related to my Hashimoto’s desease in a very professional, caring and knowledgeable way. She also guided me to change my lifestyle which has made a huge difference to my overall health. I highly recommend her if you’re struggling with any health condition that she treats.

I've seen Dr Kristy many times over the years. I've been to see her for facial acupuncture, sleep issues, and for other stress related ailments. I'm particularly drawn to her as my provider for her integrative wellness model including labs and supplements. I don't normally give five stars and I feel her care for me has been exceptional.

I suffered from chronic pain after a series of car accidents. After my initial recovery I still suffered from pain that would flare up with cold or rainy weather or with physical exertion. My x-rays were fine and the doctors just told me I was healthy and I could take Ibuprofen as needed to reduce the swelling. I'm not a fan of taking excessive medication so I mostly suffered through it. I found that sometimes topical ointments would help for a while. Epson salt baths helped a bit occasionally. I found massage therapy helped quite a bit for a while. I had pretty much given up on living without pain, but then I found Kristy Mckendrick at Bliss Wellness Center. I went to consult with her about digestive issues I was having - nausea, constipation, and diarrhea- and she put me on a 4 month plan to fix not only the digestive issues and the chronic pain but also the fatigue and increased PMS issues that had started a few years before. After my first treatment I had my first day without pain! After 2 months I was normally pain free, with less fatigue, deceased PMS symptoms, and with more regular bowl movements. I was amazed! It was a program involving lifestyle changes that weren't always easy but before her I didn't think it was possible for me to get better. She taught me what I needed to do, gave me supplements to help, and gave me acupuncture treatments which opened my life back up to so many possibilities. I now have hope that I can live a healthy, productive, pain free life.
