The Pillars of Health: Your Foundation for Wellness
True wellness isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about building a strong foundation that supports your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
At Empower Wellness, we focus on six essential pillars that work together to restore balance and long-term health!
Our 6 Essential Pillars!
Nutrition – Fuel your body with the right foods for energy, weight management, and disease prevention.
Coaching – Stay accountable with expert guidance, motivation, and personalized support.
Hormones – Balance key hormones that affect energy, metabolism, and overall well-being.
Detoxification – Support digestion and liver function to eliminate toxins and improve gut health.
Exercise – Strengthen your body, boost metabolism, and create a sustainable movement routine.
Mindset – Cultivate the habits, discipline, and mindset needed for lifelong health success.
When these pillars are aligned, your body thrives. Let’s create a plan that works for your lifestyle so you can feel your best every day!
01
nutrition
Can you be healthy without good nutrition?
NO.
Nutritious food feeds and provides the proper building blocks for cells. Healthy cells make healthy blood, healthy organs, and a strong body.
What you eat has a HUGE impact on:
Your energy level
What you weigh
How often you get sick and how you recover
How long you live
Preventing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc.
Quality of life
Navigating Nutrition
Navigating nutrition is confusing with so many philosophies, diets, and rules like paleo, vegan, low carb, keto, macros, and intermittent fasting. Many feel frustrated trying and failing to get nutrition and healthy eating right.
Our Approach to Nutrition
Our team begins program design with testing. We do in depth labs as well as metabolic testing. From there, we create a customized nutrition program tailored to your activity level and health goals.
We teach you not only how much to eat, but what foods to prioritize, and which to limit.
Understanding how food impacts inflammation is crucial to transforming your body from the inside out.
Nutrient density is the foundation of a strong and healthy body, and we’ll show you how to incorporate it into your busy life with ease. Perfection isn’t required—our team teaches you how to include flexibility while staying within a healthy framework most of the time.
We offer customized meal plans, easy meal planning tips, cooking classes, recipes, and more to empower you on your journey. Education is key to your success.

Accountability
Accountability is the glue that holds our entire program together. A plan only works if it’s implemented consistently. Our top priority is helping clients improve and stay consistent over time.
Personalized Nutrition
Functional medicine recognizes the impact of diet on thyroid health. Empower Wellness crafts personalized nutrition plans tailored to each individual’s needs, incorporating nutrient-dense foods that support thyroid function.

Coaching
Our coaches are here to help you reach your destination faster than you could on your own. We guide, motivate, and keep you on track. Whether it’s offering encouragement or having crucial conversations about staying on course, our team is committed to your success.
Lifestyle Modifications
Lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, and physical activity profoundly influence thyroid health. Functional medicine focuses on optimizing these factors to create a supportive environment for the thyroid. This doesn’t mean you have to become an Olympic athlete. Part of our program involves finding activities and schedules that work for you.

Real Results: Helen’s Story
"At 73, I thought I was stuck with hot flashes and weight gain forever. I had tried everything, but nothing worked—until I found Sarah. Through her program, I got rid of debilitating hot flashes without prescriptions, lost 15 lbs of body fat, and finally reached a healthy BMI for the first time in years. I feel stronger, healthier, and more in control of my body than I have in decades!" – Helen, 73
03
hormones
Hormones are powerful messengers that work in harmony when balanced. Chronic stress, poor sleep, unhealthy eating habits, and lack of exercise disrupt this balance.
| Hormone | Function | Symptoms When Out of Balance |
|---|---|---|
| Cortisol | Healthy stress response, energy | Poor sleep, fatigue, hard to wake up |
| Estrogen | Bone health, sexual health | Painful periods, hot flashes, adult acne, weight gain |
| Progesterone | Menstrual flow, sleep, pregnancy | Poor sleep, missed periods, painful/heavy periods |
| Testosterone | Energy, sex drive, fat burning | Low energy, low libido, muscle loss |
| Insulin | Glucose metabolism | Sugar cravings, fatigue, difficulty losing weight |
Lifestyle changes in nutrition, exercise, detoxification, and stress management play a significant role in balancing hormones. Our team uses detailed metabolic questionnaires and testing to identify imbalances.
We then recommend customized supplement protocols alongside lifestyle changes to restore harmony and reduce inflammation.
04
Detoxification
Optimal health starts with a properly functioning digestive system.
Digestive issues can result in poor nutrient absorption, constant gut irritation, and symptoms like:
Bloating
Gassiness
Pain with eating
Constipation
Diarrhea
Indigestion
Acid reflux
Food intolerances
Leaky gut
The liver, our body’s filter, must also function properly. Signs of poor detoxification include sluggish energy, hormone imbalances, and skin problems.
Our process starts with repairing the intestinal lining and then addressing liver detoxification. Using diet changes and supplements, we rebuild detoxification pathways. Clients often notice significant improvements in energy and hormonal balance following this protocol.
05
Exercise
Exercise is essential for health because it:
Provides a healthy outlet for stress
Improves mood and balances brain chemicals
Builds lean body mass to burn more fat
Offers social opportunities
Aids in weight loss and maintenance
However, over 50% of people fail to stick with exercise programs beyond three weeks. Why?
Problem #1: Misleading Information
Conflicting advice and marketing make it difficult to know what truly works.
Problem #2: Lack of Investment in Self
Despite knowing its importance, many don’t prioritize exercise like other areas of life.
Our team provides practice members with proven strategies to lose body fat and transform their physiques through resistance training and cardiovascular activities. We offer the right information and a system that works.
Mindset
“The mind has a powerful way of attracting things that are in harmony with it, good and bad.”
A healthy mindset is key to success. It involves:
Taking responsibility for past behaviors
Taking action and learning from mistakes
Building faith and confidence through daily effort
Committing to long-term goals
Our team helps clients take responsibility for their actions, prioritize self-care, and stay focused on daily progress. We emphasize celebrating wins, big or small, to keep moving forward.

Success Stories
Elizabeth McCurry
★★★★★
“I started my journey with Sarah and her team skeptical (truly it was entirely my husband's idea) but willing to make a profound effort. In a matter of 3 months, I have lost close to 15 pounds, I have a lot more energy, and I'm no longer craving foods that do not fuel my body (minus the occasional queso and margarita, of course).”
Maricela Castellano
★★★★★
“I was going through the motions of my health journey after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease a couple of years ago. I was getting some results but still wasn't feeling my 100% and on the verge of getting put on high blood pressure medication.
By God's grace I stumbled upon Sarah while researching recipes and healing foods that would help me with my autoimmune disease. Her webinar invitation popped up on my Facebook feed one day. I liked what I heard so I decided to join in. So happy that I finally found someone who could relate to what I have been going through!”
Lori Gray
★★★★★
“I had an initial consult with Sarah after learning about her services from a friend at work. On that day, I weighed in at 169.3…. I’m now at 154! I’ve maintained for a year and a half.
I want others to realize that it isn’t that difficult to focus on eating right when you have the right tools, foundation, and encouragement. What’s difficult is changing your mindset & relationship with food & exercise, but that, too, can be overcome!”
