Hey folks, Irene here. 

There are some significant changes happening to how I work online, so I wanted to create a comprehensive outline so you have one spot you can refer back to (plus I can update this post when, or as, needed).  

In a nutshell, right now* me and my team are in the midst of doing some big changes, improvements and upgrades to my online offerings, so as to make my online work sustainable and more accessible. *Now being mid-June 2026. 

The very short version is that we are creating a “build your own SmartBody SmartMind™️(SBSM),” online offering wherein a person can start with a lower level of commitment, which will be SBSM Foundations. From there, if one feels connected to the teaching and learning and they wish to proceed into the deeper (and previous) SBSM curriculum, then they can progress to future SBSM Levels (1 & 2). The live aspect, plus opportunity to ask questions via my team of professionals will be an “add on” paid offering. The “old” way of doing SBSM was one price and one curriculum that has been $2000 USD.

The short version in four key points

1 – The 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up (‘21 Day’) will no longer be available for purchase as of July 1, 2026. Current and past ‘21 Day’ members will retain access to the course material indefinitely. 

2 – SmartBody SmartMind™️ (SBSM) is getting a massive ‘facelift.’ Current SBSM alumni (as of March 2026) will retain access to the legacy course material indefinitely, and any future upgrades or improvements to the online self-study version of SBSM will be offered free of charge. 

SBSM is my signature online program that’s been running strong for a decade now, and while the core content and curriculum is not going anywhere (if anything, it’s getting an upgrade!), we’ll be shifting how one enters into the unique nervous system work that I’ve created. 

3 – Foundations (SBSM Foundations) will be the new entry point into my online paid work, and will replace the ‘21 Day’ as of July 1, 2026. If you go to the SBSM site, you’ll now see that Foundations is there. 

4  – Starting August 2026 and through to the end of this year, we’ll be trialling an Online Monthly Membership that has yet to have an official name. 

This monthly membership will be THE place to get live interaction with me and my experienced team of pros, get questions answered, experience live practice sessions and connect with others globally. 

To join this monthly ‘hangout’ you must be, at the minimum, a ‘21 Day’ member, be working through Foundations, a future SBSM Level 1 or 2 participant, or an SBSM Alumni*. 

More details on this new offering coming July 2026. The cost for membership will be $47/month. 

* For SBSM alumni who have joined SBSM by March 2026, if you join online monthly membership by and/or between August – December 2026, you will be offered a ‘founders rate’ for this monthly membership at a cost of $27/month. Please keep an eye on your email for details and how to sign up.

The longer version 

If you’re new here, you may not be aware of this, but my signature online program, SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) is one of its kind, and was the first ever online program to teach nervous system health practices and non-dumbed down education to the global folk. To date, my paid online programs have reached people in over 120 countries, and over 20,000 people have experienced, at the minimum, my smaller course, The 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up. 

The full curriculum (SBSM) is solid. It is tried and tested via thousands of participants, and has been under academic scrutiny via a study that you can read about here. 

To be clear, me, my team, and the work are NOT going anywhere, but the format in which we’ll be offering the curriculum (namely SBSM) will be changing throughout 2026, and we hope, will continue to educate and help folks heal for another decade, hopefully longer. 

If after reading the points below, you’re still unclear about these changes, or have a general or even specific question about joining SBSM this year, or in the future, do not hesitate to email us and ask. My support team is always happy to help. Email [email protected]m and they’ll get back to you. 

For 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up (‘21 Day’) Members

Please note, if you were a ‘21 Day’ member prior to May 31, 2026, you would’ve received an email with the following information: 

  1. The 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up is closing for business, with live moderation within the site ending on June 30, 2026.
  2. But please know that as a member, your access to the course content will remain unchanged!
  3. The differences will be in how you can access live support and ask questions of my team.
  4. If you’ve been planning on joining SmartBody SmartMind™️(SBSM) this year, or in the future, there have been some significant shifts in how we deliver that curriculum and we hope you consider joining me and my team for this new format, which will be:
    • SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) Foundations. SBSM Foundations will be the new entry point into the full SBSM material, and the program will be self-study. There will be no more future ‘live sessions’ of SBSM. We have been running SBSM in its current form for ten years now, and due to some financial realities that I and my team can no longer ignore, we must change the model of how we offer program content and live support.
    • SBSM Foundations is priced at $297 and will be a self-study offering that will be available year round (as noted, ‘Foundations’ will be replacing the current 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up).
    • Once one has moved through Foundations, or they feel they are ready for deeper SBSM learning and its core curriculum practices, SBSM Level 1 will be the next step. Once one has moved through SBSM Level 1, then SBSM Level 2 will be the next and final step within the SBSM learning suite.*Note that the learning and practices within Level 1 and Level 2 are what is currently within the core SBSM curriculum that has been tried and tested for the past decade. We are in the midst of forming these “new” levels and once details are available, they’ll be posted on the SBSM information and registration site, plus emailed to those on our email list. Once all levels are set in motion, they’ll be available to start at any time. The cost for each Level will be $797 USD. Be sure to refer to the note above about the Online Monthly Membership, as this will be the new place to engage online (and live) with my professional team, ask questions, and connect with others globally who are doing this work. As noted above, there will be a monthly fee for this offering.
    • And finally, for our ‘21 Day’ members, if you decide to continue with your SBSM learning, you will still receive the promised $300 USD discount when you join Level 1 (not Foundations). The reason for this discount starting at Level 1 is because this is where you’ll find content that is also in the ‘21 Day’ course.

SmartBody SmartMind™️ (SBSM) Foundations Details

‘Foundations’ is an entirely new offering that’s very different from both ‘21 Day’ and the existing form of SBSM. It contains a style of teaching and practices that will make future work within SBSM’s lessons more potent and accessible.

If you already have access to ‘21 Day’ (meaning you’ve completed it, or you have yet to complete it), Foundations will be a powerful complement to this learning and practice. 

Said another way: Foundations should not be seen as another form of what was learned in the ‘21 Day.’ While some of the concepts and principles are similar, it is how I am teaching in the audio lessons that is different. The training call’s content is from the current SBSM’s training calls, but there are some unique elements not currently in SBSM, and again, is not similar to the education you received via the Biology of Stress videos in ‘21 Day.’

Again, this evolution in how I teach, and the focus on ‘foundations’ first is a result of ten years of feedback and observations teaching SBSM. I feel this will be a powerful evolution.

SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) Alumni

For all SBSM alumni, your access to the Legacy Course Site (meaning, the one you currently have access to) will not change.

All content and recordings from past Q&As and the last set of Training Calls will remain as is. The forums will also remain open for peer-to-peer discussion. Text-based moderation will end on June 27, 2026. The new AI tool, SOMA, will remain on the program site for you to use, so you can locate specific answers to questions (note: this AI tool ONLY uses our SBSM database from hundreds of our past Q&As and Training Calls, meaning, it is not pulling from world wide web data and content). 

The Live Sessions, or ‘rounds’ of SBSM that have been happening since SBSM’s inception will no longer take place moving forward. If you’ve missed this information, be sure to refer to the numerous email communications we’ve sent to you on these dates: April 29, May 4, May 17, and May 23, 2026. If you have not received these email communications and you’d like them, email my support team, [email protected], and they can forward you these emails manually, so you can review the details. 

Please know that all future versions of SBSM (Foundations and our currently proposed SBSM Level 1 and SBSM Level 2) will be available to you as those offerings are complete and ready. You’ll also retain access to the 21 Day Nervous System Tune-Up.

Online Monthly Membership – Specific Details

Here’s what will be offered via a paid membership that we’ll be trialling from August – December, 2026: 

  • Two 1-hour Q&A calls a month with my husband and colleague, Seth, and/or other qualified Team Lyon staff members.
  • One 45-50 mins ‘hang-out’ call with myself or other qualified Team Lyon staff members (note these ‘hangouts’ will be similar to my Drop-In classes that have been popular the past handful of years).
  • There will also be a forum where members can communicate with each other and connect and share their learning experience.
  • The cost for this monthly membership will be $47 USD/month.

We’ve been communicating these changes for a couple of months now, and I realize it can be tough to keep up with all the news and details, so here are a few more resources that have dropped over the last little while:
