IT'S TIME TO HEAL
About
A competitive IFBB Professional Body Builder and a Board-Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, Ellen Savary Long’s expertise is in body transformation specializing in hormonal imbalances of peri- and post-menopausal women.
From Struggle to Search
Ellen’s journey began after she won her IFBB Pro status in bodybuilding and her own health challenges became impossible to ignore. Hoping clean eating and exercise would be enough, she continued to battle systemic inflammation, hot flashes, thinning hair, sleepless nights, and constant fatigue.
After running her first functional lab (Minerals & Metals Test), Ellen realized how depleted she truly was. Depletion creates instability, and instability creates weakness. To train like a beast, it is imperative to support the body with a solid foundation—something conventional medicine, with its pharmaceutical “solutions,” never addressed. Ellen wanted lasting answers, and she set out to uncover the root causes behind her declining health.
Discovering a Better Way
Training and body transformation demand everything from the body and mind, but Ellen learned that without a holistic approach, the body eventually breaks down. Through Functional Medicine and integrative practices—including the DESTRESS Protocol—she discovered that systemic imbalances, not genetics, were driving her symptoms.
Ellen immersed herself in Functional Medicine, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Herbalism, and more, running labs and testing protocols on herself until she restored energy, balance, and resilience.
Turning Healing Into a Mission
Ellen transformed her personal health challenges into a mission to help others. Today, through Long Life Wellness, Ellen continues to empower clients to uncover the root causes of symptoms, build strong foundations, and reclaim vibrant health.
This approach is different from anyone else’s: it’s about rebuilding from the inside out so the body is stable, balanced, and strong. Ellen’s deep knowledge of integrative health allows her to guide others with compassion, clarity, and proven strategies. Ellen's mission is simple: to show that true healing and peak performance are possible when you address the body at its foundation.
Discovering a Better Way
In my 50s, I pursued a lifelong dream of competing in women’s physique bodybuilding—and even earned my IFBB Pro Card. On the outside, I looked like the picture of health, but inside my body was in turmoil. Sleepless nights, thinning hair, cold extremities, debilitating joint pain, and overwhelming fatigue were daily realities. Doctors told me it was “just genetics” or part of aging, but deep down, I knew there had to be more to the story. What I later discovered was that my “toxic load” and hormonal imbalances—not my genes—were driving my symptoms.
