In a world where fast-paced living and unhealthy habits have become the norm, many struggle to maintain their well-being. This is especially true for women facing the challenges of hypothyroidism and life after thyroidectomy. Angela Longo, a Certified Holistic Health Coach, has emerged to offer insights to these individuals. Combining nutrition, lifestyle changes, and mindset coaching, Angela’s journey from personal health struggles to becoming a highly sought-after wellness expert is inspiring and transformative.
From Corporate Life to Holistic Health Coaching
Angela’s path to becoming a health coach was rooted in a deeply personal experience. At the age of 23, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer—a diagnosis that led to a full thyroidectomy. During this time, Angela navigated motherhood challenges while working in the high-pressure corporate world of New York City. The demands of her job, coupled with the overwhelming stress of her diagnosis, left her feeling depleted. Despite following traditional medical treatments, her health did not fully recover.
Angela reflects on this pivotal moment, sharing, “I didn’t even know I had a thyroid issue until I was diagnosed with cancer. After the surgery, everything started falling apart. I was constantly sick, tired, and frustrated.” Determined to reclaim her health, Angela embarked on a journey to explore alternative healing methods. She soon concluded that traditional medicine alone wasn’t enough for her and embraced holistic health practices. Her dedication to wellness led her to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where she earned her Integrative Nutrition Health Coach certification. In addition, Angela found immense value in Bob Proctor’s Thinking Into Results program, which emphasized the power of mindset. This tool would later become a cornerstone of her coaching practice.
Healing from Within: A Comprehensive, Holistic Approach
Angela’s holistic approach to wellness sets her apart from conventional health coaches. She believes in treating the body as an interconnected system rather than merely addressing isolated symptoms. According to Angela, thyroid health is influenced by various organs and systems, including the brain, liver, gut, and muscles.
This understanding underscores her holistic health philosophy: nurturing the entire body to achieve balance and vitality. “Even though I don’t have a thyroid anymore, I still have to support my body as if I do,” Angela explains. “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 tackle various issues. Her three-month wellness program offers personalized fitness and meal plans tailored to each client’s needs. In addition to physical changes, Angela emphasizes the importance of mental and emotional well-being. “Mindset is the secret sauce,” she says. “It was the mindset shift that made everything click for me, and I teach my clients how to think their way healthy.”
Expanding Her Reach with Online Programs
One of Angela’s primary missions is to make holistic health accessible to as many women as possible. Recognizing that financial barriers often prevent individuals from accessing personalized coaching, she has taken steps to offer affordable, self-paced online programs. These courses provide the same level of education and guidance as her one-on-one coaching but are available to a broader audience.
Her first series of online programs is set to launch in early October. This six-week course will offer in-depth education on holistic health practices, including nutrition, lifestyle changes, and mindset coaching. “The idea came from my five-day thyroid reset program, which was a huge success,” Angela shares. “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 personal story is a testament to the power of mindset and manifestation. After years of corporate law work, she boldly transitioned to full-time health coaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the leap was daunting, Angela stayed focused on her vision and trusted that everything would fall into place. “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.”
Looking Ahead: Empowering Women Through Education and Support
As Angela continues to expand her reach through new programs and speaking engagements, her mission remains clear: to empower women by providing them with the tools they need to take control of their health. Whether through personalized coaching, online courses, or public speaking, Angela is dedicated to helping women navigate the complexities of hypothyroidism and life after thyroidectomy.
“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.” Through her company, WITHIN Health, Inc., Angela Longo continues to make strides in the holistic health community, helping women across the globe reclaim their vitality and live fulfilling lives.
