About Me

Hey there, I’m Jonnell!

I’m the voice behind the recipes and the midlife ramblings, Welcome to Living Simply Nourished—a cozy corner of the internet for real food, real talk, and figuring out this whole healthy living thing without losing your mind.

I grew up in Eastern Kentucky, where food was just how we showed love and did life. These days, I’m bringing a little Southern charm and cooking up north to Eastern Pennsylvania. I share life with my airline pilot husband of 28 years, our two adult kids, and our 3 dogs—cooking my way through midlife and figuring it out one recipe and one day at a time.

As a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I geek out over how food actually works in your body because I hit a point where my own body just stopped cooperating. Let’s be honest: life is a trip. One minute you’re living your best life, and the next, your digestive system is complaining about everything you eat, your sleep is non existent, and your nervous system is screaming for a quiet room.

II’m not about extremes here. No cutting out entire food groups, no you have to eat clean nonsense, and definitely no counting every single bite. life is way too short to give up good food—including a great slice of pizza or a glass of wine with friends.

Around here, it’s all about real food, real support, and practical life hacks to make your life healthier and simpler.

• Go-To Recipes: Delicious, un-fussy whole-food meals and even delicious desserts made with whole food ingredients.
• Holistic Home Swaps: Simple, non-toxic tweaks to make your house feel like a safe sanctuary.
• Travel Hacks: Did you know you can safely take food through TSA checkpoints and it not get tossed? It’s a question I get a lot and I know the secrets.
• Supplements: I have vetted some of the best ones out there so that you don’t have to, and I can save you some money.
• 1-on-1 Support: Tailored guidance through my coaching programs when you’re ready to tame the chaos and get your body back on your side.

Grab a warm cup of whatever gets you through the morning, make yourself at home, and let’s get your body feeling like yours again.
