The Green Door Life

Move over gluten free...

Have you noticed the word "PROTEIN" plastered all over the front label of food products lately?

But then you flip the package over and the nutrition label reports:

Protein: 5 grams per serving

Hopefully, y'all have been following us online for enough years and/or have taken our Awaken Your Nutrition program to understand that 5 grams of protein at one meal or snack is incredibly low, even for kids who need less protein than adults.

What's even more shocking is that many of these 'newly formulated' foods with supposed higher protein are more expensive.

And oftentimes, there really isn't much of a re-formulation but rather a new marketing campaign to jump on.

In fact, this protein word on the front label doesn’t mean much.

Let's review this popular kids' "protein bar" as a case in point:

I saw these on...

The Green Door Life isn’t a diet.

It’s not just lifting weights either, although we like to pick up heavy things.  

It’s not even a one-dimensional “lifestyle” focused on the physical body only, although you'll feel more confident than ever after our program.

The Green Door Life is a movement.

And that’s why our team has grown so organically and steadily since we created this company years ago.

As a two-person, woman-owned, zero debt company since inception, we never intentionally sat down one day and said, let's hire as many nutrition coaches as possible.

At first, we invited just one new coach on our team.

But despite being banned from paid advertising on social media for years after our account was hacked, we could not keep up with constant word-of-mouth referrals and...

I eat well, I exercise regularly but I cannot lose the 20 pounds I put on after turning 40.

I don't even care about the number on the scale. I have no energy. I want to get through my day without 10 cups of coffee.

I just want to wear the shorts.

I've spent tens of $1,000's on lab tests, expensive supplements, and functional nutritionists but have yet to feel better or see any results.

I gained weight during COVID and no matter what I try, it won't come off.

I don't feel comfortable in my own body. This impacts my mood, my relationship with my partner, and my self esteem every single day.

I am more confused than ever by everything I read on social media. Is intermittent fasting good or bad? Should I cut carbs and go keto? Do I have to do Zone 2 training? I just want to know how to eat and exercise in a way that works for ME.

Mark, we've talked...

Mark, we feel better in our 40's than we ever did in our 30's, and we want women (and men) everywhere to know that you absolutely do not have to decline with age.

We don't share this to boast; far from it. If you know us, you know how humble and quiet we are about our own physiques because what's on the outside is incomparable to how good we feel on the inside, and that is the most important of all.

How good we feel day to day is the greatest driver for continuing to practice healthy habits.

We wake up with tons of energy practically jumping out of bed, we have sustained mental cognition to focus and be productive, and we are able to stay mostly grounded as we manage all that life and work throws our way.

We share these images and stories to show what is possible.... to...

Sample, we broke the internet (well, our little corner of the internet) after posting this on Instagram yesterday. In the past 6 years, this was our best performing social media post by a landslide.

Let's unpack WHY this resonated so much and what women in particular need to know about fueling properly + nutrition:

We believe so many women have been practicing not eating for years (maybe decades!) that we don't need anymore help about how NOT to eat. Same goes for men who have tried this and that and still struggle to manage their health and weight.

Many of us are (sadly) professionals at not eating already.

And while these more extreme strategies can work better for men due to their physiology to handle more stress without sacrificing as much muscle loss, the impact on women can be catastrophic in the way that they down-regulate our metabolism...

I have been in the mood for something sweet but also high protein that won't excessively spike my blood sugar. [TLDR: Scroll down for a delicious protein cookie recipe!]

But instead of doing some random search on the internet and scrolling through pages of annoying blogs that take 5,683 words to get to the point of sharing the actual recipe... (you know the ones I'm talking about - you get a full life story first and tons of pop-up ads)...

BMI... that strange number you may have encountered in the doctor's office one time that put you in some arbitrary category based on a formula related to your weight.

Technically speaking, your Body Mass Index (BMI)  is a simple numerical measure that relates a person's weight to their height. Most commonly, it's equal to your body weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height.

While BMI is a widely used screening tool due to its simplicity, it does not directly measure body fat percentage or distribution, and it doesn't differentiate between muscle and fat.

For example, a highly muscular person may have a higher BMI, indicating overweight or even obesity, despite having a low body fat percentage. 

For a more accurate assessment of body composition and health risks, especially in individuals with a high muscle mass, other methods like body composition scans are much more informative than a BMI number or even just measuring body weight...
