Hi, I’m Angela Jenkins, RD/LD, CHC

The Dirt & Detox Dietitian | Personal Detoxification Strategist | Founder of Health Is Local

I See You…

● I see you doing “everything right” — eating clean, taking supplements — and still not feeling well.

● I see the frustration of being told your labs are “normal” while your body says otherwise.

● I see the fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalance, and weight resistance that no one can fully explain.

● I see you trying to piece together your health from conflicting advice online.

● I see you starting over again and again… diets, protocols, programs — hoping this one works.

● I see how exhausting it is to feel dismissed, unheard, or labeled as “fine” when you know you’re not.

● I see you wanting real answers — not bandaids — and a path that actually makes sense.

Feeling Stuck Does Not Have to Be Your Path!

You don’t have to keep guessing.
You don’t have to keep managing symptoms.
And you definitely don’t have to keep doing this alone.

Because I’ve been where you are.

After over 30 years working inside the conventional healthcare system as a Registered Dietitian, I started asking deeper questions — not just what people were eating, but why their bodies weren’t responding.

What I discovered changed everything.

You don’t just need better nutrition.
You need a body that can process, detoxify, and utilize what you’re giving it.

That’s where everything begins.

Hey there, I’m Angela.

I help people reconnect to the foundations of real health by addressing what most programs miss — cellular detoxification, environmental inputs, and the role of local food systems in true healing.

My mission is simple but powerful:

Help you build a clean body, clear mind, and reclaim your health — starting at the root.

What I Do

I’m a Registered Dietitian and Detoxification Strategist with over 30 years of clinical experience, specializing in:

  • Cellular detoxification pathways

  • Root-cause health resolution

  • Environmental and home toxin reduction

  • Local and regenerative food systems

  • Sustainable, real-life health transformation

Through my Core Cellular Detox , I guide clients through a structured process that goes far beyond diet — helping them restore function at the cellular level and create a life that actually supports their biology.

This is not another protocol.
This is a framework for how your body was designed to work.

Here Is My Story

I spent years in traditional healthcare doing what I was trained to do — teaching people how to eat “healthy.” And subscribe to a healthy lifestyle. Getting plenty of sleep, exercising routinely. It's foundational.

And on some level… it worked. 

But not completely. And I started to realize something wasn’t adding up. Then it became personal.

I experienced my own health challenges — feeling poorly despite looking “healthy on paper.” And like many of my clients today, I wasn’t taken seriously by my physician because nothing obvious showed up in standard testing and I looked healthy. I was strong appearing and took good care of myself but it was a constant up hill battle.

I still had fatigue, have been missing the outer third of my eyebrows for decades, my gut would get inflamed for no obvious reason, I would have a skin flare up patch on my backside and just wouldn’t feel good. I felt inflamed. I never thought I would be able to follow my life passions any longer. The picture to the left is from last summer when I hike around Lake Tahoe with a friend! I never thought I would be able to do what I love any longer.

That’s why I dug deeper. I wanted my life back!

What I found was this:

Health is not just about what you eat.
It’s about what your body can process, eliminate, and adapt to.

That realization led me into over  to programs that have two decades of continued research and clinical application in detoxification.

Today, my work bridges two worlds:

  • The science of human physiology and detoxification

  • The reality that health begins with how and where our food is grown

Because the truth is:

All health is local. It always has been.
We just stopped viewing it that way.

A Few Things About Me

● I believe food should come from soil you trust and people you know not a food system supported by subsisdies 
● I’m deeply passionate about regenerative agriculture and restoring local food systems.
● I’ve spent my career helping people understand their bodies — and unlearn the noise.
● I don’t believe in quick fixes, but I do believe in real results and building systems- sustainable systems, not systems that are artificially propped up
● I see the connection between personal health, community health, and environmental health; therefore encourage people to source locally no matter where they are
● I value simplicity — because the body thrives when we remove interference, not add more.
