In today’s fast-paced world, where stress and unhealthy habits often take a toll on our well-being, Angela Longo stands as a beacon of hope for women battling the challenges of hypothyroidism and life after thyroidectomy. A Certified Holistic Health Coach with a unique approach that integrates nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset coaching, Angela’s journey from personal health struggles to becoming a sought-after wellness expert is both inspiring and empowering.
From Corporate Life to Holistic Health Coaching
Angela’s path to becoming a health coach was deeply personal. At the age of 23, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer—a diagnosis that led to a full thyroidectomy. At the time, Angela was a young mother working in the high-pressure environment of New York City. The demands of her job and the stress of her diagnosis left her feeling overwhelmed, and she quickly realized that traditional medical treatments alone were not enough to restore her health.
“I didn’t even know I had a thyroid issue until I was diagnosed with cancer,” Angela shares. “After the surgery, everything started falling apart. I was constantly sick, tired, and frustrated. It wasn’t until I started learning about holistic health and healing from within that things began to change.”
Angela’s relentless pursuit of wellness led her to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where she became a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. She also discovered the transformative power of mindset work through Bob Proctor’s Thinking Into Results program, which became a cornerstone of her coaching practice.
Healing from Within: A Comprehensive, Holistic Approach
What sets Angela apart is her holistic approach, which considers the body as a whole rather than focusing solely on symptoms. She emphasizes that thyroid health is connected to various organs and systems in the body, including the brain, liver, gut, and muscles.
“Holistic health means caring for the entire body,” Angela explains. “Even though I don’t have a thyroid anymore, I still have to support my body as if I do. Thyroid health begins in the brain, and it’s crucial to take care of all the systems that contribute to hormone balance.”
Angela’s programs are designed to help women not just lose weight but also regain energy, improve sleep, and clear brain fog. Her three-month wellness program offers clients personalized fitness and meal plans, along with a robust educational component that is accessible online. But the true magic lies in the mindset work she incorporates into her coaching.
“Mindset is the secret sauce,” Angela says. “When I was on my own journey, I realized that making all the right nutritional and lifestyle changes wasn’t enough. It was the mindset shift that made everything click. I teach my clients how to think their way healthy.”
Expanding Her Reach with Online Programs
Recognizing the financial barriers that prevent many women from accessing personalized coaching, Angela is launching a new series of affordable online programs. These self-paced courses provide the same high-quality education and guidance as her personalized coaching but without the need for direct interaction. The first series is set to launch in early October and will offer six weeks of in-depth education on holistic health practices, including mindset coaching.
“The idea came from my five-day thyroid reset program, which was a huge success,” Angela explains. “I wanted to create something accessible for women on fixed incomes or those who can’t afford personalized coaching. The first series will be just $199 because I want to reach and help as many women as possible.”
The Power of Mindset and Manifestation
Angela’s own life is a testament to the power of mindset and manifestation. After years of working in corporate law, Angela made the leap to full-time coaching during the COVID-19 pandemic—a decision that was both daunting and liberating. Despite the naysayers who told her that health coaches were “a dime a dozen,” Angela focused on her vision and made it a reality.
“I kept seeing my clients, my business, and my future office in my mind,” Angela recalls. “Even when I was working long hours in corporate, I stayed focused on that vision. And eventually, everything fell into place.”
Angela’s commitment to her vision is evident in the success of her clients. One particularly memorable story involves a young woman who came to Angela to lose weight before her 30th birthday. Not only did she achieve her weight loss goal, but she also manifested her dream of owning a home, signing the papers just before her milestone birthday.
Looking Ahead: Empowering Women Through Education and Support
As Angela continues to expand her online presence and develop new programs, she remains focused on her mission to empower women. Through her holistic approach, she helps women navigate the complexities of hypothyroidism, regain control of their health, and live vibrant, fulfilling lives.
“Whether it’s through one-on-one coaching, online programs, or public speaking, my goal is to reach as many women as possible,” Angela says. “I want to help them understand the impact of their environment, lifestyle, and mindset on their health. With the right support, healing from WITHIN is possible.”
