If you’ve ever wished your grocery store run included a personal nutritionist tagging along to help you decode cryptic food labels, meet Louisville’s own Jessica “Jess” Abell. 

As a registered dietitian nutritionist and the dynamic founder of Plant-Powered Health by Jess, Jess is always by your side with her trusty app-based coaching model.

Plant-Powered Health by Jess was born out of a crystal-clear vision. 

“I’m on a mission to empower women to achieve optimal health and wellness; I specialize in reducing chronic inflammation and improving gut health through personalized nutrition and holistic care,” Jess explains. 

“I guide clients to harness the power of plant-forward nutrition and comprehensive wellness strategies, helping them transform their lives, feel their best, and embrace a vibrant, healthy future,” she elaborates.

A magna cum laude graduate from the University of Alabama, Jess brings a wealth of knowledge, empathy, and enthusiasm to her various programs. And while she's serious about science-backed strategies, she’s quick to emphasize diet flexibility.

“The best advice I can give is to not strive for perfection,” she suggests. “The main reason why we do not stick to a healthier lifestyle is because we attempt to be 100% on at all times; and the moment we are not, we feel like we failed. 

“Instead, try following the 80/20 rule,” Jess continues. “That means 80% of the time, follow your healthy lifestyle, and the other 20%, enjoy the foods you love and that bring you joy.”

Plant-Powered Health by Jess offers a variety of support options to meet clients wherever they are in their health journey. That includes The Wellness Reboot, a 4-week group coaching program designed to kickstart your metabolism and detox from sugar and processed foods, and The Metabolic Makeover, a 12-week program complete with meal plans, 1:1 coaching, and ongoing support through Jess’ mobile app.

Perhaps what makes her programs stand out the most though, is the fact Jess is always within reach and prides herself on her accessibility and personal attention. 

“Through my app, you can access a registered dietitian when you need one,” she notes. “During business hours, you can also ask me questions, seek advice, and even send me photos from the grocery store.”

That level of communication and personal support is what keeps happy clients coming back while getting real results. Just ask local Jamie R., who worked with Jess recently:

"I have been ‘dieting’ since I was 12 years old… if it’s out there, I’ve tried it for weight loss. Jess’s program broadened my life with new meals and a different way of eating protein that I normally wouldn’t try. Besides being down over 12 pounds, my body composition has changed. Sugar cravings and carb cravings are gone. My overall body feels lighter. Jess is amazing — you will be in good hands if you choose to work with her!"

Off the clock, Jessica’s idea of balance includes playing board games, scuba diving with her husband, Stephen, and getting cozy with a good book to share with her book club, and cuddling with her two American Akitas.
