Your body doesn’t shut off when the shift ends.
A recovery-focused functional wellness program for nurses and healthcare professionals.
You’re trained to power through. Physiology doesn’t work that way.
After The Shift starts with a Lab Strategy & Pattern Review — a structured, clinician-to-clinician assessment to identify what’s actually driving fatigue, burnout, and dysregulation before you waste time or money guessing.
For nurses and healthcare professionals only.
Enrollment is limited to ensure individualized support.
Is After The Shift For You?
This approach is designed for nurses and healthcare professionals who recognize these patterns — even if you’ve never stopped to label them:
You can function at work — but crash hard on days off
Your sleep is fragmented, wired, or non-restorative (even when you’re exhausted)
You carry tension in your body long after your shift ends
Your weight has crept up despite “doing everything right”
Your digestion, headaches, or inflammation worsen under stress
You feel emotionally flat, irritable, or depleted at home
You give everything to patients — and have very little left afterward
You know how to care for others, but haven’t applied the same standard to yourself
None of this means you’re weak.
It means your nervous system has been doing its job too well for too long.
You’re not broken.
You’re not “just tired.”
And this isn’t something willpower fixes.
If this were your patient, you wouldn’t tell them to power through.
This is recovery work — not motivation, not mindset, and not something you can out-discipline.
This approach is built on functional data, not assumptions.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN AFTER THE SHIFT
After The Shift begins with a Lab Strategy & Pattern Review — a focused, clinician-to-clinician assessment designed to clarify what’s actually driving your symptoms and whether functional labs are appropriate. From there, next steps are determined based on need, not packages or pressure. Some clinicians require only clarity and direction; others benefit from deeper lab work and structured implementation. That decision is made after the review, once your individual patterns are clearly understood.
Your Journey, Step by Step
1️⃣ Apply
Submit your application to determine fit and next steps.
2️⃣ Complete Intake
Sign forms, complete your intake, and submit payment for your Lab Strategy & Pattern Review.
3️⃣ Receive Your Labs
If labs are indicated, test kits are shipped to you with clear, step-by-step instructions designed to fit real-life schedules.
4️⃣ Deep-Dive Review
We meet virtually to review results, identify key patterns, and clarify what your physiology needs next.
5️⃣ Implementation
Some clinicians choose to continue into structured implementation and ongoing support. This is discussed after your review, based on need — not obligation.
What You Can Expect:
Over time, many healthcare professionals begin to notice changes such as:
More stable energy and less day-to-day fatigue
Reduced bloating & improved digestion
Sleep that feels more restorative — with mornings that don’t feel as heavy
Clearer mood and improved focus
Hormone balance that better supports metabolism
Less inflammation and greater ease with weight regulation
Confidence and clarity around what your body actually needs
A renewed sense of trust in your body — without constant second-guessing
Feeling seen, heard, and believed — often for the first time
Waking up with less dread, and more presence, energy, and confidence
This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a process grounded in data, support, and root-cause work — at a pace your nervous system can sustain.
Meet Your Practitioner:
I’m Holli Baker, RN, BCFMP, FIM-P, a registered nurse with nearly two decades of experience across pediatrics, geriatrics, trauma, GI, neurology, endocrine, and surgical care.
I know what it’s like to function at a high level in clinical settings — to run on adrenaline, decision-making, and responsibility — and then feel completely depleted once the shift ends.
I also know what it’s like to tell yourself:
“This is just part of the job.”
“I should be able to handle this.”
“Other people have it worse.”
For a long time, I did exactly that.
What I saw — in myself and in other healthcare professionals — was a pattern:
high-capacity clinicians living in a body that never fully stood down from high alert.
Not because they were weak.
Because their nervous systems were doing their job too well for too long.
Why I Built After The Shift
I didn’t create this approach to “fix” nurses.
I built it because too many of us are walking around with:
disrupted sleep
unexplained weight changes
migraines or chronic tension
digestive issues that flare under stress
emotional flatness at home
and a sense that our bodies are no longer cooperating
— all while being told our labs look “normal.”
After The Shift exists to slow the system down without asking you to stop being who you are.
No mindset coaching.
No pushing through.
No pretending rest is optional.
My Approach
I don’t assess and address symptoms in isolation.
I look at patterns, load, and physiology over time.
That means:
Using functional labs to understand what stress and circadian disruption have actually done to your body
Building plans that respect shift work, real schedules, and real fatigue
Moving at a pace your nervous system can tolerate — not one that looks good on paper
This is recovery work — grounded, structured, and realistic.
Nurse to Nurse
If you were my patient, I wouldn’t tell you to power through.
And if you’re here, I’m not going to ask you to do that either.

Initial Assessment Investment:
$200
Includes intake review, lab strategy guidance, and a 60-minute clinician-to-clinician consult.
Extended Implementation Support (Optional):
For clinicians who benefit from deeper lab work and structured implementation over time, extended support options are discussed after the initial review.
A Note on Value (Important for Nurses)
Most participants have already spent years:
covering co-pays
trialing supplements
ordering partial labs
pushing through symptoms
adjusting lifestyle factors without clarity
This approach is designed to replace guesswork with data, and to address the systems under load — not just the symptoms that surface last.
Coverage & Accounts
Many clients are able to use HSA or FSA funds toward the lab testing portion of the program.
Approval depends on your individual plan administrator.
Fit Matters
Enrollment is intentionally limited.
This ensures:
adequate time for lab interpretation
realistic implementation pacing
individualized support without overload
After The Shift is for clinicians who are ready to stop managing symptoms and start addressing what their body has been compensating for.
FAQ's
Do you accept HSA/FSA cards?
Many participants are able to use HSA or FSA funds toward the lab testing portion of the program.
Approval depends on your individual plan administrator, but because this program includes medical lab testing, many accounts do allow it.
What happens if I’ve already done a GI-MAP or OAT test?
If you’ve already completed a GI-MAP or OAT, we’ll review the timing, quality, and clinical relevance of that testing together to determine whether it still provides useful insight.
If it does, we’ll incorporate those results into your overall pattern review. If not, we’ll identify the next most clinically appropriate lab to clarify what’s still unclear.
Any additional testing is discussed collaboratively before moving forward.
How soon do the lab kits arrive?
Once your initial payment is received, lab kits are ordered promptly.
Most participants receive kits within 5–7 business days, depending on the test.
Clear instructions are provided to make collection straightforward and realistic.
What if I’m very busy — can I still do this?
Yes. This program was designed specifically for healthcare professionals with demanding, unpredictable schedules.
There is no expectation of perfection, strict routines, or daily time commitments.
Implementation is structured, flexible, and adjusted to what your body and schedule can realistically support.
How does messaging access work?
You’ll have direct messaging access via secure EMR messaging, email, or text.
This is for questions, clarification, and support as you implement your plan — not emergency care.
You are not left to “figure things out” on your own between sessions.
Are supplements included?
Supplements are not included, because recommendations are based entirely on your individual lab findings.
This ensures you’re not taking unnecessary products and that any recommendations are targeted, intentional, and clinically justified.
You Don’t Have to Keep Pushing Through This.
You don’t have to live in a constant state of depletion.
And you don’t have to keep explaining — or minimizing — how your body feels.
You’ve spent years recognizing patterns in other people.
This is your opportunity to apply that same standard of care to yourself.
After The Shift exists because prolonged high-alert physiology has consequences —
and because recovery requires more than willpower or time off.
When you’re ready to stop guessing and start working with real data,
there’s a structured, supported path forward — built for how clinicians actually live and work.
No pressure. No performance. No pretending you’re fine.
Due to state restrictions, most functional labs are not available to ship to New York. Additionally, the Dutch tests are not available to ship to New York, New Jersey, or Rhode Island.
