Are you ready for some energy!?! I know I am and that is one of the reasons why I have invited the incredibly inspiring Emily Hollister onto my podcast today! I met Emily through the magic of Instagram! Emily’s name on instagram is “fabover40healthandfitness”, and being a 44 year-old woman myself (and my love for health and fitness!), I just knew that I had to reach out to Emily and meet her!! Emily brings such a passion for her work into every conversation that we’ve had, and in today’s episode Emily really shines the light on her WHY. Emily comes with a 23 year background as an occupational therapist and what she has witnessed happening to people’s health and wellbeing over those years has helped inspire her to do the amazing work that she is doing today.
In today’s episode, we talk about being a woman in her 40s, Emily’s life as a single mom to two teenage sons and being an entrepreneur all amidst the year that we’ve just all had with the Covid pandemic. We talk a lot about mindset and how we must nurture our minds, bodies and spirits in order to be in a state of balanced well-being.
Emily talks about her history with an eating disorder, “finding herself”, the importance of personal development, and following your dreams. So, sit back, grab your favorite beverage and get energized with Emily Hollister!!
I'm Emily , the ENERGIZER Health/Fitness Coach. I've always had a huge passion for health, fitness, and helping others live a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life. I help women over 40 lose weight, feel more energized and confident to get their MOJO back with a fitness program tailored to your fitness level and without dieting!!
As a 45 year old single mom of 2, working 23 years as an Occupational Therapist in skilled nursing, I know how stressful, busy, crazy and hectic life can get. While trying to
juggle all of our daily responsibilities, we put ourselves and our health to the back burner. We end up developing unhealthy lifestyle habits including poor diet and inactivity that result in being overweight, lacking energy, feeling overwhelmed, and stressed. Over time, this unhealthy lifestyle can result in medical conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure requiring medications. I have seen the medical profession prescribe medications and never addressing the unhealthy lifestyle habits that may be contributing to the medical condition.
When I first got into health and fitness, I approached it very wrongly. I would go on fad diets and overwork myself at the gym. I thought healthy eating was calorie restriction, weighing foods and cutting out healthy carbs. In turn, I did not feel my optimal best, and my weight fluctuated too much because of different diet routines and burning myself out at the gym. I was always feeling the need to "cheat" and I was not gaining energy. It came to a point where I didn’t want to do these diets anymore.
I decided to go into personal fitness training, since working out was always one of my passions! I learned how to workout smarter for myself and how to help my clients workout the best way for them, with 30 minute at home workouts. Then I decided to go into nutrition. I wanted something that taught me and my clients how to make healthy eating into a lifestyle, how to eat without restriction, without calorie counting and without needing “cheat” days! I wanted to feel my best and treat my body with respect!
Through my Fab Over 40 program, I want to help others realize that it’s okay to take time for yourself and your self care by developing better eating habits, taking time for fitness, and learning how to find balance in your life. It will result in a happier and healthier you, which will overflow in your relationships with spouse, family, friends, co workers, etc.
During the past year, I decided to follow my passion of helping others become the best version of themselves, prevent these chronic conditions I have seen over the past 23 years, and became a fitness coach to represent this amazing program that gave me my MOJO back. I am now offering everyone access to this amazing fitness and nutrition program that has helped get me in the best shape, healthier, stronger, more energized and confident than ever. I just turned 45 and feel 25!!
My fitness program includes 1 year access to over 1800 workouts for all fitness levels, from 10-60 minutes, all streamed through any device!! As your coach, I will help you find a fitness and nutrition program that fits your needs, goals, and lifestyle Nutrition plans with recipes included, and part of my accountability team, which helps keep people motivated. You are never alone in your journey.
I started a YouTube channel called Energize with Emily. I want to motivate, inspire, empower, and help others lead a healthy life through music, motivation and motion, and show people that fitness is fun!! My YouTube Channel will have 10-20 min beginner and intermediate workouts with little to no equipment. I will be releasing my first E Book cookbook in the next month, including quick, easy, inexpensive, and healthy meal plans and recipes that helped me lose weight, keep it off, and have more energy!!
