How Lois Hughey Helps Women Over 45 Reclaim Their Health

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, Lois Hughey, founder of Empowered Life Nutrition and Elevate Life Coaching, shares how a deeply personal experience with her mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis led her to rethink traditional diet culture and build a business focused on sustainable health and longevity for women. After previously coaching within a large nutrition company that relied heavily on restrictive dieting and ultra-processed foods, Lois began researching how nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle habits truly impact long-term health, which inspired her to create a more holistic coaching approach.Lois explains how her programs help women—particularly those over 45—shift their focus from short-term weight loss to long-term wellness. Through functional nutrition testing, strength training, and mindset-focused coaching, she helps clients improve internal health, reduce inflammation, and build stronger bodies. By combining science-backed nutrition strategies with supportive coaching relationships, Lois empowers women to create sustainable habits that support confidence, vitality, and lifelong wellbeing.
