Hi there, and welcome! I’m Linda Abel, the founder of Well Taken Care Of®, and I help people 35+ especially those navigating perimenopause, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and chronic burnout reclaim energy, metabolism, and mental clarity using a root-cause approach to health.
But my journey into functional medicine and personal training started long before I ever ran a lab test or coached a client…
At 19, a devastating car accident left me with a tibial plateau fracture, multiple surgeries, and months of immobility. I was non-weight bearing for half a year and endured both internal and external fixators. Lying in a hospital bed at Boston Medical Center (the same hospital I was born in), I asked my doctor if I’d ever run again. He said yes but I didn’t believe him.
What followed was a defining moment in my life. I could continue down a familiar path… or take the road not taken. I chose the second.
With crutches, then a cane, and finally just a brace, I stepped into my recovery one painful stride at a time. I joined a gym. I met bodybuilders who mentored me. I got stronger.
Along the way, I earned my GED, then my personal training certification, then a college degree (cum laude, in Business Management). That recovery season ignited a fire to learn everything I could about healing first for myself, then for others.
As a natural health specialist, I take a whole-person approach mind, body, and soul. With over 20 years as a holistic personal trainer, I’ve seen firsthand how food and exercise truly are medicine. I’m passionate about helping women use movement and nutrition to age powerfully (and yes I like to look good doing it!).
My approach combines 20+ years of hands-on training experience with advanced certifications in functional health, wellness coaching, nutrition, muscle testing, and lab analysis. I integrate strength training, functional medicine, mindset work, and trauma-aware support to create real, sustainable transformation for my clients.
I serve wo(men) who are:
Perimenopausal or menopausal
Neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, Bipolar)
Highly sensitive, empathic, or healing from trauma
Struggling with fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, or autoimmune symptoms
Wanting to age powerfully, not passively
As an FDN-Certified Functional Practitioner, my five-pillar approach addresses:
Hormones
Immunity
Digestion
Detox pathways
Gut-brain health
I use lab testing, clinical strategy, movement, and emotional insight to help people rebuild health from the inside out. Clients say I help them feel seen, heard, and empowered for the first time in years.
Exercise and food are medicine.
Healing must include mind, body, and soul.
You don’t need to earn rest, nourishment, or care.
You’re not broken your body is trying to protect you.
I’m an empath and highly sensitive person. During our sessions especially the Clarity or Jumpstart call I often pick up on energetic barriers or unspoken patterns you may not be aware of. That intuitive guidance, paired with evidence-based science and functional testing, helps create your most aligned, customized path forward.
Whether your goal is fat loss, better sleep, mental clarity, fewer symptoms, or all of the above I’m here to walk beside you. I’m not just a coach I’m a co-creator of life-changing “aha” moments, one woman at a time.
You don’t have to white-knuckle your health journey. You don’t have to guess. You just need support that’s skilled, safe, and tailored to your life.
