The Green Door Life

I just returned home from a week in Cancun where we had our one and only Green Door Life retreat in 2022, and it's bringing back so many lovely memories.

I keep thinking about our community and how incredible it is to be surrounded by over 200 like-minded souls who love to have a great time... AND who also love to fuel, nourish, dance, adventure, philosophize, explore, learn, train, with thousands served in total over the years.

2024 has been one of personal and professional growth for both Shannon and myself. This year alone, we've invested over $50,000 in continued education programs, business coaching, and new software to streamline our members' experience which will roll out officially in 2025.

At the same time, we've magnetized new members who are equally interested in their physical health as well as their mental,...

When is the last time you felt so light-hearted that you had a good snort laugh?

Or embraced someone while no audible words were spoken but your quantum entanglement said everything and charged you for days?

Or turned off your thinking brain and danced ecstatically for hours?

Or cried watching the sun rise as your heart filled with immense gratitude?

Or had a sense of purpose or service project so important to you that you skipped opening Instagram or the news for one hour and forgot to be outraged?

Or went out to dinner with friends and time travelled as 3 hours passed in the blink of an eye?

Or listened to live music and remembered that we are all actually more alike than different? 

Or put your bare feet on this Earth and pondered how you are made of the same stardust up in the night sky?

Or took a drive while singing to Fleetwood Mac at the top of your lungs, releasing tension more effectively than any therapy session?

Have you felt a heaviness for...

One reason why Awaken Your Nutrition has served over 3,000 people with permanent knowledge + tools that serve them for LIFE is that we help you develop a personalized blueprint of how to eat for optimal health.

To be ultra clear: we do not subscribe to any one way of eating or any restrictive diet.

That's why many people are shocked to find out that we support everyone from vegans to full on carnivores.

We've seen it ALL, and that's why we never judge.

One person's optimal diet is another person's pathway to fatigue, inflammation and illness. 

And what's fascinating is that someone's food preferences and rules can change over time as they start tuning into their bodies.

We've seen people start with us as vegans and realize that their bodies are starving for nourishment from animal foods.

And we've seen others come to us eating primarily animal foods and realize that adding in more plants brings in much...

We recently restarted our new mindset community calls where we welcome open, authentic sharing from members regarding their greatest mental blocks and emotional challenges interfering with living their best life.

And what we have collectively uncovered already is that so many of us are holding impossibly high expectations of having perfect bodies with minimal body fat while simultaneously judging ourselves for being vain and superficial.

Side note: underneath it all is a strong desire to feel better. That's all. So, you can stop beating yourself up about that.

Mark, can you relate?

The truth is that many of us carry harmful messaging from our formative years that influenced us to feel ashamed of our bodies.

We shared stories yesterday about where some of this came from, including direct statements from caretakers and family members to...

We just went live discussing the power of mindset and how it impacts your health, body composition, emotional well-being and more. It was SO powerful.

We talk about everything from generational beliefs around food that have been passed down still impacting us now to how identifying patterns of thoughts show up in multiple areas of life.

Because information alone is not enough. And in a day and age where we're at maximum capacity with information overload, we need to bring the conversation back inwards.

If you're over age 35, here are 10 truths you need to know when it comes to your health and fitness

1 Physical Health is the foundation of Mental Health.

It’s normal to feel anxious when you wake up with a wine hangover, drink coffee on an empty stomach, skip breakfast and maybe lunch + have erratic blood sugar all day.

It’s normal to feel depressed when glued to your computer for 12 hours straight without walking outside or ever moving your body.

It’s normal to be unfocused and fatigued during the day when you doom scroll past midnight and survive off of 4-6 hours of sleep.

2 Muscle mass is your best indicator for longevity. 

It’s not just about looking toned. Building and maintaining muscle is vital for long-term health and longevity + to avoid sarcopenia and osteoporosis.

Muscle mass + bone density naturally decrease after age 35, which...

Right now, we (Shannon Morse and Lisa Kirby, the co-founders of The Green Door Life) are finishing no less than 6 professional certification and advanced coaching programs that have NOTHING to do with nutrition or exercise.

After spending the last two years streamlining the foundation of our business, we're infusing even more holistic support, whether you're absorbing our abundance of free online resources or paid programming.

Why the call for expanded education and services?

Because the people who are magnetized to us for help with their physical bodies are experiencing more complications than ever before. 

You can never heal one pillar of health - physical, mental, emotional or spiritual - without addressing some portion of them all.

For example, it's difficult to regulate emotions if your blood...

We e are always evolving our practice as holistic health coaches and have supported dozens of clients already on peptides like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), etc.

And here's why they still came to us for help: even while taking these peptides at higher doses, they hit a plateau with their body composition goals or never saw any results in the first place.

How can this be possible? Let's dive into what the science says AND what we've observed in practical application.

NOTE: this is a long email. It's for those rare unicorns out there who still like to read. Hop over to Instagram for quick tips or stay here to nerd out with us so you know the WHY!

To understand why peptides wouldn't work, we must first understand how they impact two important hormones - glucagon and insulin - that regulate everything form blood sugar, glucose transport and hunger to satiation...
