Elevate Life 1:1 Functional NUTRITION & FITNESS COACHING
Elevate Life 1:1 Functional
NUTRITION & FITNESS COACHING
Finally Lose the Weight. Understand Your Body.
Keep the Results.
This isn't another meal plan. We use functional testing (hormones, gut health, the real data) so we know exactly what's going on and can custom build a complete nutrition and training plan around YOU.
Limited spots available • Free call, no commitment
I Get It, I've Been There Too...
You've put in the work. More than most people ever will. But somewhere along the way, your body just... stopped cooperating.
And now there's this voice in the back of your head wondering if it's even possible anymore.
You're uncomfortable in your own skin and you don't want to go up another clothing size.
Cutting out foods you heard were 'inflammatory' without actually knowing if they cause inflammation in YOUR body
The exhaustion is constant. Caffeine is the only thing getting you through the afternoon.
Everyone has advice. Your trainer says one thing, your doctor says another, Instagram says something else entirely. None of it adds up.
You feel like you're always trying to fix something about yourself, but nothing ever sticks.
And the worst part? You're a smart, capable woman. You've figured out harder things than this. So why does your own body feel like a problem you can't solve?
Here's what nobody's telling you...
No diet is going to fix a hormone problem. No amount of cardio is going to override what's happening in your gut. If something's off underneath, you can restrict and push all you want. It's not going to work.
You might have a gut issue blocking nutrient absorption. Or a hormone imbalance telling your body to store fat no matter what you eat. Or cortisol levels tanking your sleep and spiking inflammation.
You Can't Fix What You Can't See.
That's why we test. DUTCH hormone panels. GI mapping. Real data about what's actually happening inside YOUR body. Not guesses. Not elimination diets based on what worked for your neighbor.
Once we know what's going on, we build a complete plan around it. And that's when things actually start to change.
The Process Is Simple
Restrict
Cut calories, eliminate food groups, eat less and hope something works.
Early Results
You lose a few pounds. Finally. This one's working.
Plateau
Then it stops. Scale won't budge. You're doing everything right but nothing's changing.
Push Harder
Work out more. Eat even less. White-knuckle your way through.
Guess
Cut gluten because your neighbor did. Stop eating dairy because Instagram said so.
Make It Worse
Under-eating, over-exercising, stressing your body out. Cortisol spikes. Sleep tanks.
Crash
Exhausted. Frustrated. Hungry. You "fall off" because your body can't sustain it.
Blame Yourself
Tell yourself you're the problem. That you should be able to figure this out by now.
Repeat
Try the next thing. Keto. Noom. Ozempic. Whatever worked for your sister.
Restore
We run the tests, find out what's actually going on, and start fixing it. Your body has to be ready before it'll let go of the weight.
Release
Once the foundation is solid, fat loss becomes easier. We're working WITH your body now, not against it.
Thrive
You learn how to keep it going on your own. No more guessing. You actually understand your body and how to take care of it.
That's the difference. Now here's what it actually looks like to work together:
STEP 1: Apply & Talk
Fill out a short application. If it looks like we're a good fit, we hop on a call to talk through what's going on and whether Elevate Life is right for you.
STEP 2: Test
Once you’re in, we determine which labs will tell us the most about your situation, whether that’s a DUTCH hormone panel, GI mapping, or other targeted testing. This gives us the real picture of what’s actually going on.
STEP 3: Build & Begin
We take your results and build a complete custom plan around what YOUR body actually needs. Nutrition, training, lifestyle, supplements if needed. Then we work closely together over 6 months with regular check-ins, adjustments along the way.

Elevate Life Coaching Love...
"No longer pre-diabetic. Cholesterol normal. Blood pressure normal."
Kathy came to Empowered Life Nutrition at 54 after gaining 30 pounds, losing both parents, and watching her health markers go in the wrong direction. Nothing she tried was working anymore. Watch what happened when we fixed her metabolism first.
"I started my nursing home prevention program. Lost 20 pounds along the way."
At 58, Bonnie wasn't chasing weight loss, she was scared of getting weaker. Now she's stronger, sleeping better, and 20 pounds lighter without even trying.

"I've never felt better in my entire life. Honestly."
14 pounds lighter, down 2 pant sizes, and sleeping well every night. What changed? She stopped doing what she thought was healthy and learned what actually works after menopause.

The Women Behind Elevate Life
Lois Hughey | Founder
Hey, I'm Lois!
I've spent the last 6+ years helping women figure out what's actually going on in their bodies when nothing else has worked. Before that, I was the woman doing all the things and wondering why my body wasn't responding.
I built Elevate Life because I was tired of watching smart, capable women blame themselves for something that was never their fault. If your body isn't cooperating, there's a reason. My job is to help you find it and fix it.

AMIE TURNER | Strength & Functional Nutrition Coach
I'm Amie. I've been coaching for 10 years and I help women rebuild strength, metabolism, and self-trust through coaching that actually fits real life.
My journey started after having my 10-lb baby, when I realized how few coaches truly understood hormones, postpartum recovery, or pelvic floor health. I wanted women like me to have better answers. That's what I'm here to provide.

SHELBY POOLE | Health & Behavior Change Coach
I'm Shelby. I spent years as an elementary school teacher before transitioning into coaching after having my son. I experienced firsthand how little support exists for women rebuilding their bodies, and it lit a fire in me.
My favorite part of coaching is witnessing the moment it clicks, when a client realizes she's far stronger than she ever believed. That never gets old.

When you join Elevate Life, you're matched with a dedicated coach who's with you for the full 6 months. This isn't a faceless program. It's real women who've been where you are, helping you get where you want to go.
I'm not going to pretend this is for everybody. It's NOT.
We only take on a handful of 1:1 clients at a time, so I need to make sure this is the right fit for both of us.
This IS For You If..
You're a woman over 45 who's tired of programs that don't account for what's actually happening in your body right now.
You've got at least 10-15 pounds to lose and you're done guessing why it won't come off.
You want to understand the WHY behind what's been holding you back, not just be handed another meal plan or set of macros.
You're ready to be coached, show up for calls, follow the plan, and actually use the support you're paying for.
You're willing to commit to 6 months. This isn't a quick fix and you know that.
You're financially ready to invest at this level. This is premium 1:1 functional coaching and it's priced like it.
That said... I also want to save you time (and money) if this isn't the right fit.
This Is NOT For You If...
Looking for a magic pill or 30-day transformation. This is 6 months of real work. It works, but it's not magic.
Just want someone to give you a meal plan. I teach you to understand your body, not depend on me forever.
Don’t want functional testing. This is how we uncover what’s actually going on.
Not ready to invest time or money in yourself right now. No judgment, the timing has to be right.
Already got it figured out and just need accountability. There are cheaper options for that.
Want to "dip your toe in". This is a real commitment. I need you all in.
Still here? That tells me everything I need to know...
You're READY.
Because it's time for lasting results
Question? I've Got Answers.
How much does Elevate Life cost?
The investment is $3,500 for the full 6-month program. That includes all of your testing (DUTCH hormone panel, GI mapping), your custom nutrition and training plan, and 6 months of 1:1 coaching with your dedicated coach.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We have payment plan options to make the investment more manageable. We can go over the details on our call.
Is Elevate Life covered by HSA/FSA?
HSA/FSA may be eligible with a Letter of Medical Necessity depending on your plan, so you may be able to use pre-tax health dollars.
How long until I see results?
Most clients notice changes in sleep, energy, and mood within the first few weeks. Weight loss typically starts showing up in Phase 2, once we've addressed the root issues. This isn't a crash diet. It's a process. But it's a process that actually sticks.
What if I've already tried everything and nothing works?
That's exactly who this is for. If you've done the diets, the programs, the calorie counting and you're still stuck, there's usually something going on under the surface that nobody has looked at. That's what the testing shows us. Once we know what's actually happening, we can fix it.
How is this different from other nutrition coaching programs?
Most programs give you a meal plan or macros and send you on your way with occasional email or video check-ins. We start with testing so we're not guessing. We look at your hormones, your gut health, your cortisol patterns. Then we build a complete plan around YOUR data. We prioritize the relationship between you and your dedicated coach. You’re not just a number, you have a real person invested in your success.
What if I’ve never done functional testing before?
That’s completely fine! After you enroll, you’ll fill out a detailed intake form with all your symptoms and submit any recent lab work you have. Our functional nutrition team will review everything and determine the best testing protocol for your specific situation.
Do I need a doctor's referral to join?
Nope. The testing we do is ordered through the program, not your doctor. You don't need anyone's permission to get started. That said, I'm not replacing your doctor. If something comes up in your results that needs medical attention, I'll tell you. We work alongside your healthcare team, not instead of them.
What if my doctor said my labs are fine, do I still need testing?
Standard labs only show part of the picture. DUTCH testing looks at hormone METABOLISM, how your body processes hormones throughout the day. GI mapping looks at your gut microbiome, parasites, and inflammation markers your doctor never runs. “Normal” on standard labs doesn’t mean optimal.
What if I’m on a GLP-1 medication?
We absolutely work with women on GLP-1s, especially if you’ve plateaued or suspect you’re malnourished. We can help optimize your nutrition and address underlying issues.
Is this all virtual or do I need to be local?
100% virtual. All of our coaching calls happen over Zoom. The testing kits get shipped directly to your house. We have clients all over the country.
What's the time commitment each week?
Expect about 2-3 hours per week. That includes your workouts, tracking your food, and our coaching calls. It's not nothing, but it's manageable for women with full schedules.
6 Months From Now...
You could still be where you are right now. Googling for answers. Guessing at what's wrong. Trying the next thing your friend recommended. Waiting on another set of incomplete labs. Wondering why your body won't cooperate
Or You Could Finally Have Answers.
You could finally understand what's been going on and have a clear path forward built around YOUR body. Wake up with energy. Fit into clothes you actually like. Feel like yourself again.
That's what's on the other side of Elevate Life.
"If you're ready, I'm here. Let's figure this out together."
