Welcome to Forevergreen Functional Wellness: My Journey to Helping Burnt-Out Professionals Thrive
Hi there, and welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way to Forevergreen Functional Wellness, chances are you’re feeling the weight of burnout—physically, emotionally, maybe even spiritually. I want you to know that you’re not alone, and this space was created with you in mind.I work with burnt-out professionals who have given everything to their careers and are now running on empty. I know what that feels like because I’ve been there myself. This blog is a reflection of my journey, my work as an FDN practitioner (Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®), and my passion for helping others regain their energy, vitality, and balance.
My Story: From Burnout to Purpose
Burnout doesn’t happen overnight—it sneaks up on you. For me, it started as a slow decline: feeling tired all the time, struggling to focus, and losing the spark that used to drive me. I would wake up at 4am, hit the gym, crush my sales career, and try to use whatever energy I had left to be present for my boys and my wife. I thought I just needed more coffee or a vacation, but those quick fixes didn’t touch the deeper issues.Eventually, I hit a wall. That’s when I realized something had to change. I started digging into the root causes of my exhaustion—physically and emotionally—and discovered the power of functional wellness. Through lab testing, personalized protocols, and lifestyle shifts, I was able to rebuild my health from the inside out. But it wasn’t just about physical recovery; it was about rediscovering who I was beyond the hustle and grind.That transformation inspired me to become an FDN practitioner so I could help others do the same. Now, as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner my mission is simple: to guide anyone who feels burnt-out, like you, back to a place of balance, energy, and purpose.
How I Help Burnt-Out Professionals
Burnout isn’t just about being tired—it’s a complex mix of stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and disconnection from yourself. My approach is rooted in functional wellness and tailored specifically for busy professionals who need real solutions that fit into their lives. Here’s how we’ll work together:
Getting to the Root Cause: Using functional lab testing, we’ll uncover what’s really driving your burnout—whether it’s hormone imbalances, gut health issues, chronic stress, or something else entirely.
Personalized Protocols: No cookie-cutter plans here! We’ll create a step-by-step wellness strategy that works for you.
Stress Management That Sticks: Together, we’ll build practical habits for managing stress in a way that feels sustainable—not overwhelming.
Rebuilding Energy: From nutrition tweaks to sleep optimization and targeted supplements, we’ll focus on restoring your energy so you can feel like yourself again (or maybe even better!).
Rediscovering Joy: Burnout can dim your light—I’m here to help you reignite it by reconnecting with what truly matters in your life.
This isn’t just about “fixing” burnout; it’s about building resilience so you can thrive long-term without sacrificing your well-being for success.

Why Forevergreen Functional Wellness?
The name Forevergreen Functional Wellness represents growth, renewal, and sustainability—values that guide everything I do as an FDN practitioner and coach. But it also holds a special meaning for me and my family. Originally, my family dreamed of starting a Christmas tree farm called Forevergreen Farms. It was a vision rooted in creating something lasting and meaningful—a place where people could come together and experience joy. However, it just wasn’t in God’s plan for us.
Instead, we pivoted. We realized that while the farm wasn’t meant to be, our desire to help others grow and thrive could take a different form. That’s how Forevergreen Functional Wellness was born—a way to help those of us buried under our desire to thrive heal, regain our strength, and rediscover the joy and balance they’ve been missing. This practice is our way of honoring that original dream while embracing the path we were meant to walk. It’s about planting seeds of wellness and watching them grow into something beautiful and sustainable—not just for today but for the future.
