Can stored emotions make you hold weight?

Not because emotions are calories.
And not because your body is broken.

But because unresolved stress changes the way the nervous system, hormones, and metabolism function over time.

When the body experiences chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, or unresolved threat, it adapts.

👉Cortisol patterns shift.
👉 Blood sugar regulation changes.
👉 Inflammatory cycles stay activated.
👉 Muscle tone, digestion, sleep, and hunger signaling all adjust.

These are not failures.
They are intelligent protective responses.

The nervous system’s primary job is not fat loss.
It is survival.

So if stress responses like fight, flight, or freeze never fully resolve, the body may hold weight, water, or inflammation as part of staying safe.
This is why “trying harder” with food or exercise often stops working.

And why insight alone doesn’t always create change.

Because the body does not release through logic.
It releases through felt safety and physiological completion.

Somatic Emotional Release is one way we support the body in finishing stress cycles that were never completed, gently, consciously, and without reliving the past.

This is one of the coaching techniques we gently weave into our weekly coaching calls inside Awaken Your Nutrition.

This is not about fixing yourself.

It’s about rebuilding trust with your body’s intelligence.

✨ If this resonates, comment “SOMATIC” to join us inside The Training Tree for our free virtual introductory workshop, Somatics 101.

📅 Tuesday, February 17th at 6:00 PM CST

And if you’re ready for deeper, ongoing support where nervous system regulation, nutrition, and metabolism are woven together, Awaken Your Nutrition is moving to closed enrollment.

🗓 Last day to join this cohort is February 28 and we will be giving $500 off to those who join this workshop. 💫

Most women don’t need more information.

They need clarity.
They need structure.

They need to stop overriding their body and start understanding it.

We’re living in a time where wellness is loud.

One reel tells you to eat more.
Another tells you to eat less.
One says carbs are the problem.

Another says cortisol is the problem.
Another says hormones are broken forever.
Another sells the fix.

And somewhere in all that noise, women aren’t getting better.

They’re getting more confused, more distrustful, and more disconnected from their body.

Here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud👇

Your body isn’t broken.

It’s responding intelligently to the environment you’ve placed it in.

Blood sugar, hunger, cravings, inflammation, mood, energy, cycles…

None of it is random.

But when stress stays high, fuel stays inconsistent, rest is skipped, and movement becomes punishment, the body stays in defense mode.

That’s not failure.
That’s biology.

Inside Awaken Your Nutrition, we don’t chase fixes.

We build a framework.

✨ Food as environmental input, not control
✨ Movement as communication, not punishment
✨ Consistency as safety, not restriction
✨ Structure that teaches your body it’s safe to come back online

When the internal environment changes, the body responds.

👉Inflammation completes its cycle.
👉Energy stabilizes.
👉Hormones recalibrate.
👉Strength returns.
👉Trust rebuilds.

And that trust doesn’t just change your body.

It changes how you live.
If you’ve been feeling the pull…
If you’re tired of starting over…
If you’re ready to partner with your body instead of fighting it…

Our next Awaken Your Nutrition 12-week cohort begins at the end of February.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about listening better.
Your body already knows the way.

Inflammation isn’t the problem.
Chronic inflammation is.

Inflammation is a normal, necessary cycle in the body.
It’s how we regenerate cells, adapt to training, heal tissue, and activate our immune system.

The issue is when that cycle never closes.

This is especially common for women over 40, when hormones, cortisol, and recovery capacity are shifting.

Here’s what we see most often 👇

• Overtraining without enough recovery
• Under-eating to “control weight”
• Under-resting and chronic sleep debt
• High stress with no somatic regulation tools
• Pushing harder instead of supporting the system
• Imbalanced light environments

The body stays inflamed because it never gets the signal (or the resources) to safely recover.

What most people try to “fix” inflammation:
❌ More workouts
❌ Fewer calories
❌ Cutting more foods
❌ Supplements without a foundation

What we do differently inside Awaken Your Nutrition:
✔️ Teach you how inflammation actually works as a cycle
✔️ Fuel your body to support hormones and cortisol
✔️ Train with your nervous system, not against it
✔️ Build recovery, stress regulation, and body awareness into daily life
✔️ Give you practical tools you can use long after the program ends

The result?
Less reactivity.
More energy.
Better recovery.

A body that knows how to close the inflammatory loop.

Pro-metabolic and/or Ray Peat enthusiasts: please read everything before you come at me 🙏

Countless women are suffering from substantial weight gain after practicing these principles.

I’m also seeing this from women who went deep into keto, carnivore, paleo, low carb and intermittent fasting.

We need to address this openly and start LISTENING to women.

NOT telling these women they “did it wrong” or that “their metabolism is just healing” or that they’re “fat adapting” as they continue gaining large amounts of body fat.

Whether you’ve experienced excessive weight gain from pro-metabolic, keto, paleo, carnivore or any other food philosophy out there, we’ve got you 🫶

You can still eat bread, butter, pastries, fatty meat, and/or drink whole milk.

We just need awareness of what and how much we’re eating, and when.

Not to mention making sure we’re getting enough protein and fiber.

I will walk you through this all in my new 4-week offer, Awaken Foundations.

Early bird enrollment closes on January 23rd.

We start next week 🔥

Body fat is not just extra weight,
it’s an active endocrine organ that influences hormones, metabolism, and energy.

This is exactly what I’m talking about in the podcast clip you’re listening to. Head over to for the full episode.

In the U.S., we are statistically overconsuming calories, even when those calories come from “clean,” high-quality, organic, nutrient-dense food.

Those excess calories doesn’t disappear; they get stored.
And your body can create an endless amount of storage in the form of body fat.

Here’s the part that often gets overlooked:

When women carry 20, 30, or more pounds of excess body fat (above ~28%), there is a significant hormonal impact.

And no, carrying that much excess body fat is not healing your metabolism. We have to have an honest conversation here 🙏

If that were true, women with higher body fat would feel more energized, not more exhausted.

But anyone who’s been pregnant knows, the heavier the load, the harder the work.

Your heart works harder.
Your joints work harder.
Your nervous system works harder.
Just moving in life is harder!

The truth we want to ignore is this: eating more than you’re burning = weight gain. Period.

And our DNA has not gotten the memo yet that most of us living a modern sedentary life with unlimited access to food, don’t need to store body fat like we’re in a famine.

This is why we created Awaken Foundations.
To help you cut through the noise & understand how your metabolism actually works.

For women with a fat loss goal, or just wanting to increase energy, we start with what matters most:

• Regulating hormones like cortisol, leptin and ghrelin through circadian alignment
• Meal strategies that keep you full + energized
• Simple, sustainable movement you can actually maintain
• Mindset work to identify what’s blocking consistency

If you’re worried about hormones and nutrient absorption while carrying excess body fat, the real question is:

What is the hormonal cost of staying exactly where you are?

And once you understand that, the solution becomes very clear.🫶

2016 was a year of transition in every sense.

We packed up our entire house, moved across the country to North Carolina with a 4-year-old, and I spent the first stretch nauseous, exhausted, and pregnant with my second son.

Somewhere along the way, I experienced a couple injuries while pregnant doing CARDIO, and part of why I shifted to strength training.

I also had the strangest emergency of not being able to urinate one day in my first trimester. I had to wear a catheter and urine bag for weeks.

After seeing Dr’s, urologist specialists - who all told me it had nothing to do with pregnancy - I found my new midwife in NC who reassured me that yes, it was absolutely from being pregnant, and we worked through it together 🫶 One of many times I have listened to my intuition.

The big change was moving from the bubble of Marin County, NorCal, to a small rural town outside Winston-Salem, and the contrast was jarring in the best way.

It took months for my nervous system to truly recalibrate.
I couldn’t get over everyone waving and strangers talking to you like they’d known you for years.

I didn’t realize how hyper-vigilant I’d been in CA, how much pressure there was to think + live the same.

In NC, my nervous system finally felt safe enough to relax.

And from that safety, strength followed.

That’s where I learned how to powerlift.
Fell in love with the barbell.
And found community in a tiny powerlifting gym that became family.

For the first time, I experienced what it felt like to build real strength, physically and emotionally, without performing or proving.

That year didn’t look “big” from the outside, but it cracked me open in all the right ways.

It was the landing pad.
The recalibration.
The quiet before everything changed.

Sometimes transformation doesn’t arrive as a lightning bolt.

Sometimes it starts when your nervous system finally feels safe enough to rest. 🌿

It was the “calmest” year (I know it doesn’t sound like it, but that was a chill year for me 😆) before massive upheaval.

Looking back, 2016 me had absolutely no idea of what she was capable of and the version of her to come 🫶

I am loving these 2016 stories. Tell me about yours 👇

Musings of South Africa…

I quit drinking over two years ago.

The first 30 days were a detox I wasn’t prepared for.

Sadness.
Anger.
Rage.

All of it surfaced at once.

I was never taught what these emotions meant, or what they were for.
So I pushed them down.
I unconsciously numbed with alcohol.

For a long time, I carried a story that said no one could handle my emotions.
And in some ways, that was true, especially with the people who mattered most when I was younger.

But as I got older, that story stopped holding water.
Still, the pattern stayed on loop.

I now have a deep toolbox when it comes to self care.

I’ve been teaching body intelligence for over 20 years.
How to regulate blood sugar.
How to strength train.
How to correct long-standing postural imbalances.
How to support true, sustainable habit change.

I had a system.
And it worked… most of the time.

Until it came to my own emotions.

That’s when I realized something essential.
I had never been taught how to feel.

And then I began to see the interconnected nature of everything I had been teaching for the first two decades.

Without basic physiological safety, without stress management at the nervous system level, trying to quit drinking or smoking can feel impossible.
Like trying to cross miles on a treadmill.

Communities like AA can be incredibly supportive, but most models still don’t address blood sugar regulation or the full stress load the body is carrying.
And without that foundation, the system keeps reaching for relief.

This is what we’re offering in our upcoming 4-week mini program, Awaken Your Foundations.

You don’t need to be looking to quit alcohol or cannabis to join.
Although if that’s on your path, you’ve found a place that will truly support you.

This is for anyone who wants to understand the basics of safety, regulation, and stress management in the body.

So you don’t have to numb anymore.
If you don’t want to.

And honestly, this applies to every aspect of life.

Awaken Foundations begins January 26 and runs through February 27.

Over the years, we’ve talked to hundreds of people who wanted to work with us.

They loved our holistic philosophy.
They resonated with our science-backed, soul-aligned approach.
But the timing or budget for a longer immersive program just wasn’t right for their season of life.

So instead of forcing people into a container that didn’t fit, we built something on purpose.

✨ Awaken Foundations ✨

It’s intentionally short, accessible, and focused on the absolute basics that actually move the needle.

Think Ferrari-level coaching for the price of a second-hand Honda, without watering anything down.

This is the antidote to information overload.
No doom scrolling.
No obsessing over seed oils while skipping breakfast.
No expensive supplements trying to fix a foundation problem.

Inside Foundations, we focus on the big levers, food, light, movement, and mindset, so your hormones and metabolism start working with you instead of against you.

What this looks like in real life👇
• Simple nutrition without tracking or restriction
• Circadian rhythm support for energy and regulation
• Low-stress movement that supports blood sugar and fat loss
• Mindset tools for follow-through and consistency

You get the 20 percent of information that drives 80 percent of results, applied immediately.

I’ll be there with you, live coaching, real support, no hiding, no waiting to feel motivated.

🗓 Starts January 26
💚 Early enrollment is $333 through 1/23

This is how I’ll coach you: DIRECT, HONEST & FOCUSED with true FIRE HORSE energy 🔥 🐎

Because everyone is tired of endless information 🫠

Awaken Foundations is a 4-week, non-immersive experience that simplifies the basics for BEST results.

These are basics of nutrition + metabolic science and hormonal health that you actually don’t know because you’re not practicing them regularly yet.

How do I know this? Because I keep getting asked about supplements, the perfect macro split, and how to speed up fat loss…

… while y’all are skipping over big issues like poor sleep, low step count, late night eating, and indoor lifestyle.

That’s why we’re not tracking food, not focusing on workouts, and not doing a course.

This is for those of you who need LESS distraction and MORE of what matters.

This is for the people who have been following The Green Door Life for months, maybe even years, waiting for the right moment to step in.

It’s also for alumni who want a reset, a refresher, or a supportive container to reconnect with the basics.

This is our lowest ticket, highest value offer yet, designed in mind for those with limited time and budget.

Take advantage of this opportunity now as we may not repeat this again 💚

Your support includes:

👉One PDF with all the information you need to implement the foundations of health

👉5 live 90-min. group coaching calls with me (Lisa Kirby)

👉Private group chat for questions, support, & honest feedback

👉Daily prompts to keep you focused and consistent (and off your phone)

During onboarding, you’ll get the one PDF that tells you everything you need to know. Then, we’ll cover the following topics more in-depth each week:

Week 1: Circadian Rhythm (hormones)
Week 2: Nutrition (easy meal framework)
Week 3: Movement (no gym required)
Week 4: Mindset (how to actually sustain change)

Awaken Foundations begins January 26 and runs through February 27 (we have an extra bonus week to get up and running).

Early enrollment is only $333 through January 23, after which the investment increases to $555.

In less than a week, 22 people have said YES to Foundations. Are you next? 🔥
