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!

As a plant based health coach and health educator I would be honored to work with you. Whether you’re new to being plant based, tried it before, or need some support with a health challenge, I can assist you in achieving your health goals. I was vegetarian for 17 years before becoming plant based vegan 5 years ago and experiencing great health and life transformations. I am experienced working with diets customized and tailored to support reversal of diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, deficiencies.
I can offer a variety of support to help you to reach your health goals and I am a strong advocate for using food as medicine. I can help you to set health goals and work with you to help you achieve them. Examples could include finding or customizing nourishing plant based recipes based on your health conditions, taste/food preferences, time/ lifestyle and budget, shopping assistance, ingredient support, cooking, nutrition guidance for a variety of health issues, provide a knowledge base and research articles for questions or concerns you may have, juicing/smoothie recipe support, detoxing support, etc. I’m a mother of 3 and am great at helping find creative ways to fit in a plant based lifestyle despite a very busy lifestyle.

My passion is helping people, animals, and our mother earth. My bliss is seeing clients getting healthier, more functional, and happier with a whole plant food diet and healthy lifestyle, less animals killed for food, and healing of our environment. When I work with a client, I enter into a sacred trust with that client which includes showing up, confidentiality, non-judgement, holding space, and active compassionate listening. I have decades of experience doing this educating people about food as medicine approach to healing the significant illnesses and conditions plaguing our world, 40 years experience doing this with my massage clients, 15 years with my domestic violence survivor clients, and 30 years with the dancers I lead when teaching Ahimsa Sacred Circle Dance.

As a certified Plant-Based Health Coach, I also walk my talk as having lived a vegan lifestyle since 1971. I am also a committed student dedicated to lifelong learning in holistic health. I support clients to help them identify the changes they want to make and a path to reaching their goals of health and happiness

I’d love to help you incorporate nourishing plant-based foods into your life, as they’ve completely transformed mine. I’ve gained more energy, achieved weight loss, and improved my overall health.

It would be an honor to be your coach and support you on your wellness journey.

My plant-based journey started over a decade ago when an initial mammogram indicated a heightened risk for breast cancer. Research into the lifestyle changes I could make to reduce my cancer risk led me to a plant-based diet. I have since developed a passion for the evidence-based science behind a whole-food plant-based diet for optimum health. I am certified in plant-based nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at eCornell and earned my initial health coach certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). I have also completed the Lifestyle Medicine for Coaches training, offered jointly by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and Wellcoaches, and earned an additional certification in Plant-based Coaching through the Food Revolution Network. I am currently preparing for the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches Certification Exam. As a complement to my work as a health coach, I am a certified yoga instructor, Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist, and Jazzercise instructor, passionate about lifelong fitness, movement, and mindfulness. I am also an educator with over 25 years of experience teaching college students and other adults.

As a health coach, I use my wide range of knowledge and life experiences to work with you to co-create completely personalized action steps based on your wellness goals. Our work together will help you move toward your ideal vision of health within your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and resources.

I have committed my entire professional career, spanning 30+ years, to providing nutritional guidance for a multitude of individuals on their quest to disease management, prevention and wellness. As a passionate Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Plant Based Coach, I seek to empower my clients with the knowledge and skills needed to embrace a healthier lifestyle through the power of fresh wholesome foods.
Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege to work with individuals in clinical, wellness, and mental health settings. Many of these individuals were taking an exorbitant amount of medications to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. As a result of simple dietary changes to include wholesome plant foods, many were able to eliminate medications for these conditions. In fact, one individual lost over 100 pounds, which actually disqualified him from weight loss surgery.

My hope is that through engagement, and empowerment, I can assist individuals to incorporate principles of a whole food plant-based lifestyle to restore health and prevent the onset of chronic diet-related conditions.

I’ve been diagnosed with stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer and have been working with an integrative oncologist whom recommended going vegan or vegetarian. When I asked if there was any support the response was just google some recipes. This didn’t sit well with me and I dove headfirst to learn everything I can about whole food plant based diets and how to adapt this lifestyle in a way that works for me.

I now have no evidence of disease in my body and have learned to recognize how I feel in my body when adhering to a whole food plant based diet and when I have veered off of the diet. I’m on a mission to support others to incorporate Whole Foods into their diet creating a lifestyle that fits their needs. I’d love to meet you and help you create a Whole Foods Plant Based Lifestyle so you can have vitality!

I am originally from Georgia. I have lived on the California side of Lake Tahoe for 40 years. I love being outdoors and hiking.

I have followed a plant based diet for 2 years. I first realized the importance of a plant based diet by watching the Food Revolution Network Summit 3 years ago. I recently graduated from the Food Revolution Network’s Plant Based Coaching Certification course.

Since getting off of processed foods and eating plant based, I am enjoying more energy and no longer having achy joints. I have also lost weight and kept it off for the first time in my life. I am passionate about helping other people transition to a plant based diet. It gives me great joy to see others enjoying their new found health and well being.

I would love to help you on your journey to better health!
