Your Mindset ๐ค Your Hormone Response
Hey Reader, I was just talking to one of the people I coach about how little mindset gets spoken about in health and fitness. โ Being diagnosed with a disc herniation... Being told your hormones are out of balance... Being told you should stay away from certain exercises or positions... โ How do you react to and think about those things? It may look entirely different from how someone else would react to being told the same things. โ For some it may be, "Ok cool, no problem. I'm going to figure a plan out." to "Holy crap, I'm so scared and anxious." โ But did you know which ever way you fall determines your cortisol reactivity? (ie. how much stress hormone increases in response to the stressor) Which can have some pretty negative downstream effects on your overall health and wellbeing. So what does this mean for your mindset? How you perceive stressful events determines your hormonal response, which in turn can predict your health behaviors. โ And for this reason, I am currently in the process of creating a mini course all about HEALTH MINDSET. I've been going deep into health mindset, human psychology, and behavior change for the past 10 weeks. Something I NEVER learned about in all my years of schooling. โ My private community will get access first of course! But, I felt like this really could help a ton of my subscribers that follow along here as well. Perhaps it could help change your perspective on your health which could help you take action on something you may have been thinking about for awhile. โ Please click below if to get on the waitlist to receive it!
โ Since we are coming to the end of 2023... I just wanted to take a second and say THANK YOU to all of you who have supported me & my bigger mission to help people reach true optimal health in a deeper and more impactful way. I never thought in a million years I'd be doing what I am doing today and having the level of impact & meaning relationship I've built with many of you. Some of you have been with me through my entire evolution to what I am doing today and your open mindedness, flexibility, and willingness to learn is what has fueled me to keep growing and pushing the limits on what is possible. I can't thank you enough!!! Excited for 2024 and another year of growth! โ Your coach & guide, Dr. Shannon |
โLive Well with Dr. Shannon

"Strengths transformed: Redefine the norm" Be Resilient Hey Reader, So if you've seen my social media lately, I just spent 3 intense but super fun days out in Phoenix, Arizona diving deeper into learning all about how to get faster & more explosive. What else could be better for physical health than to level up your performance? I know some of you may not identify or see yourselves as an athlete. But as Bill Bowerman (track and field coach & founder of Nike) once said: โIf you have a body,...
"Strengths transformed: Redefine the norm" Be Resilient Hey Reader, You got to hear this story... As a team dedicated to helping individuals transform their lives through sustainable exercise and coaching, we've witnessed incredible journeys of self-discovery and growth. I want to share the remarkable transformation of a new mom named Charissa. Just a few months ago, Charissa was unsure about what to do for a workout and had reservations about working with a coach. She was super honest about...
"Strengths transformed: Redefine the norm" Be Resilient Hey Reader, If anything, life has taught us that age shouldn't deter us from becoming more athletic; if anything, we should strive to get MORE athletic as we journey through the later parts of life.

(Btw, you don't have to wait until the new year to get started!) At Be...
