Every Firefighter Knows How to Save Lives, But No One Ever Taught Us How to Save Our Own.

Firefighters are dying younger, retiring sicker, and living under the weight of stress, sleep deprivation, and silent burnout.

Cancer, heart disease, and suicide now take more lives than the job itself.

Departments taught us how to fight fire but not how to live as firefighters.

They talk about wellness, but they don’t actually prioritize it.
Annual checkups, EAP flyers, and yoga once a year won’t fix the broken systems destroying our health.

You’re not weak. You’re unregulated.
Your hormones, nervous system, and recovery cycles are out of sync—because the job demands it.
But what you do off shift determines how long you last on shift—and how well you live beyond it.

 

Are You Ready To Stop Surviving and Start Thriving?

 

Introducing "Beyond The Job" The Proven Holistic Health System Designed to Help You Reclaim Your Energy, Balance Your Hormones, Sleep Better, and Lower Stress—On and Off the Job

Beyond The Job is a complete, health transformation system that helps first responders recover faster, sleep better, balance your hormones, and lead your family with confidence—while adding years to your career and life.

This program isn’t theory.
It’s tactical, actionable, and built by someone who lived it.

After 7 years as a firefighter and MMA fighter, I was forced to retire after years of pushing through pain, exhaustion, and stress.
At the end of my career I was anxious, depressed, suicidal, and didn’t know what to do.
My lifestyle cost me my health, my badge, and left me broken.

But over the years I learned why it happened and how to reverse it.

And this program is the culmination of that.
I've put 10 years of learning, coaching, and healing into a blueprint and built it for you.

This Course is for the First Responder Who

 

  • Is tired of waking up exhausted and wired at night

  • Feels like they’re losing control of their weight, energy, or mood

  • Wants to reconnect with their family and lead by example

  • Is ready to stop guessing and start using data

  • Understands that you don't wait to retirement to get healthy, you get healthy to enjoy retirement

🔥 What Makes This Program Different?

Most programs weren’t built for firefighters.


They’re generic, cookie-cutter plans that completely ignore the realities of the job—like sleepless nights, trauma, hormone crashes, and 24-hour shifts.

This isn’t that.


This is the first truly holistic, data driven, shift-based system built for first responders by someone who lived it.

đź‘Ž Why Traditional Programs Don't Work:

  • Generic fitness plan that doesn’t account for sleep deprivation or use data 

  • Pre-recorded videos with no real support

  • One-size-fits-all nutrition advice

  • No understanding of how trauma, cortisol, and sleep debt wreck your hormones

What Clients Are Saying

 

Before I joined Holistic First Responder, I had no strategy to take care of myself. I was unable to control my compulsive eating and would binge eat whenever I could.

I chose this program because I felt connected to my coach—he's a firefighter and BJJ athlete. He knows the struggle of being a firefighter. He understood what it means to eat after a call or at 2 AM, and he understands the toll it takes on your body trying to balance work and training.

What surprised me most is that my coach created a plan that tackles mindset. By doing this, he's helping me address the barriers that prevent me from achieving my goals. This is something not everyone does—getting to the root of the problem.

My results have been slow but steady. It's not a race, it's a marathon. I'm slowly learning to build long-lasting healthy habits.

I recommend this program to anyone tired of following "diets." This program gets to the root of the problem by first addressing your mindset. By doing that, it allows you to build discipline and a healthy mind.

Before training with John at Holistic First Responders, I had lost all motivation to work out consistently. When I did train, my workouts felt stagnant with no real progress. I was constantly exhausted from my demanding job as a firefighter, battling back pain and struggling with poor sleep. Something wasn't right—I was in an unhealthy rut, and the physical and mental toll of my work was wearing me down.

I chose John's program because my old routines were no longer effective. I had either hit a plateau or simply needed a fresh approach. John helped me realize I had been approaching fitness all wrong. While I loved CrossFit, it no longer suited my needs as a firefighter. John, a firefighter himself, understands the grueling demands of the job. He explained that I was overtraining and needed to scale back on certain days to align with my work schedule and lifestyle. He designed a personalized plan that addressed my unique needs, focusing on healing and building me from the inside out.

What surprised me most was learning that less can often be more. As firefighters, we're conditioned to push ourselves to the limit in every workout, but John taught me the value of rest, recovery, and balance. Some days called for lighter workouts, yoga, or meditation instead of intense sessions. He emphasized the importance of sleep and proper nutrition. With John's guidance, I achieved the best mental and physical shape of my life.

John's approach transformed my sleep habits, which significantly improved my recovery. I now prioritize getting to bed earlier, especially before and after shifts, treating it as a daily challenge to ensure my body gets the rest it needs. With his guidance, I lost 9-12 pounds and have kept the weight off by adopting sustainable eating habits. I've also incorporated breathwork techniques from John's content into my routine. The excess weight, mental fog, and daily fatigue are gone, and my family and friends have noticed the remarkable change.

I've been eagerly sharing John's work with my fellow firefighters. His personalized programs, rooted in his own experience as a firefighter, are transformative. John's expertise and deep understanding of the firefighter lifestyle make him exceptional at helping others break through barriers. If the grind of the job has taken a toll on your health or you're struggling to reach the next level, John is the person to turn to. He'll help you thrive for years to come.
