Hi, I’m Jenelle Longo, a passionate health coach committed to helping people transform their lives through whole food plant-based nutrition. My journey began as a nurse practitioner in 2015, where I quickly realized that true health is about more than just managing symptoms—it’s about empowering people to take control of their well-being. In 2022, I transitioned to health coaching, and I’ve been privileged to guide clients toward achieving vibrant health in a holistic, sustainable way ever since.

My personal journey with whole food plant-based living began nine years ago, and it has transformed both my life and career trajectory. As a mom, I love cooking whole food plant based meals, staying active with yoga, running, and spending time outdoors. When I’m not coaching, you can find me enjoying beach walks with my husband, our 2-year-old son, and our dog. I’m always learning and love diving into podcasts and books on whole food plant based nutrition, self-growth, and other fascinating topics. If you’re ready to take control of your health and transform your lifestyle, I would love to guide and support you on that journey! Feel free to reach out to me via email (see contact info below) to get started today!

Hello and welcome! I’m Jacinda Shapiro, a Registered Nurse (RN), Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and a Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (DipACLM). I’m on a mission to change the narrative around diabetes care by empowering individuals to take control of their health from the comfort of their homes.

A Growing Health Concern:
In a world where diabetes is becoming an increasingly prevalent health concern, affecting people of all ages, the need for proactive, empowering guidance is more critical than ever. By 2050, it’s estimated that 1 in 3 U.S. adults will have diabetes. This staggering statistic highlights the urgency for a transformative approach to diabetes care.

Beyond Medications: Addressing the Root Cause:
My philosophy is rooted in addressing the root cause of diabetes rather than merely treating its symptoms. While the push for more medications persists, the true cause often lies in our lifestyle practices. Through my experience, I’ve observed that even with meticulous adherence to healthcare providers’ treatment plans, many individuals still experience progression and complications. It’s time to shift our focus from treating consequences to addressing the underlying causes driven by our forks.

Empowering Health at Home:
As a Diabetes Health Coach, I believe that health transformation begins at home, not just in the doctor’s office. My role is to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to take ownership of your health. Together, we’ll identify patterns within your body, enabling you to feel good both mentally and physically, optimizing your overall well-being.

The Plant-Powered Approach:
Discover the transformative potential of a plant-based pattern of eating and simple lifestyle changes. This approach is not just about managing diabetes; it’s about thriving. By incorporating plant-powered nutrition and personalized lifestyle adjustments, we can work towards not only managing diabetes but potentially reversing its course.

Your Journey Starts Now:
If you’re ready to embark on a journey towards lasting health, I invite you to schedule your appointment. Let’s work together to understand your unique needs, set achievable goals, and create a personalized roadmap to your well-being. It’s time to take control of your health and transform your life.

Empower yourself with the knowledge that can change everything. I look forward to being a part of your health journey!
