Burnout coaching for men.
You’ve seen the doctors.
Nothing is clicking.
That’s because no one has looked at the whole picture.
These programs are for men who have already tried the diets, the apps and the specialists who each look at one piece. You’ve done the research and put in the effort, and you’re still not where you want to be.
Discipline usually isn’t what’s missing. What’s missing is someone pulling every piece into one plan and keeping it going, and that’s Joey’s job.
Included in Every Program
— THE FOUNDATION
Every program includes the same foundation:
Bloodwork before you start, reviewed with a partner physician, so the plan isn’t built on guesses
Weekly coaching sessions with Joey, built around your specific patterns and goals
Two quick check-ins a day, morning and night, on sleep, stress, readiness, mood, food and recovery
Same-day follow-up: if your stress spikes or your mood drops, Joey sees it and reaches out
A personalized plan for movement, nutrition, and recovery, built with your physician, dietitian, and trainer
Access to the Sparking Change community of men doing the same work
Lab re-testing, reviewed with your physician, to measure progress and adjust your plan
It’s coaching, not therapy, shaped by clinical training in how stress affects the brain and body. Sessions go past talking about how you feel: you measure, adjust and build routines that hold up under pressure.
You are never on your own for long.
Most coaching is one hour a week and silence in between. Here, Joey sees how you’re doing every day and steps in when your numbers say you need it. Tap a day.
Your weekly session. You and Joey review last week’s data, work through what came up, and set the focus for the next seven days.
A regular day. Two quick check-ins, about two minutes each: sleep, stress, readiness, mood, food and recovery.
Your stress score jumps and sleep drops. Joey sees it the same day and reaches out, so a rough day doesn’t turn into a lost week.
A written check-in from Joey between sessions: what he’s seeing in your numbers and one thing to adjust.
Check-ins keep going. Patterns show up over weeks, not days.
Weekends count. This is often where sleep, alcohol and recovery show their real pattern.
A quiet reset before the week starts again.
6-Week Reset
The Reset is for men who need to get back on track. Something shifted: your energy is up and down, your sleep took a hit, and you’re running on willpower that’s starting to cost you.
Six weeks is long enough to find the patterns, steady your sleep and stress, and build a routine you can keep.
WEEK .01
Baseline and Clarity
A full intake. We find where your energy is going, map your stress patterns and pick your focus for the six weeks.
WEEK .02
Nervous System and Recovery
How stress works in your body, simple ways to bring it down, and a morning and evening routine that resets you.
WEEK .03
Discipline Without Burnout
Choosing the few non-negotiables that anchor your day, and pacing your effort so you stop running hot.
WEEK .04
Motivation and Momentum
What actually drives you, where purpose and performance pull apart, and the habits you use to reward yourself.
WEEK .05
Real-Life Integration
Building a plan that works when you travel, when work gets heavy, and when life gets messy.
WEEK .06
Transition and Decision
Review everything, celebrate what you built, and make a clear decision together. Stop here, repeat, or go deeper with the 12-week program.
12-Week Deep Dive
THE FULL PROGRAM
Twelve weeks of structured coaching for men who want the change to last.
You get a 75-minute session each week, a written note from Joey between sessions and daily tracking. You leave with your own routine, a plan for travel and high-stress weeks, a training plan that fits your life, and a roadmap for after the program.
Weeks 1-3
Phase 1: ASSESS
How you perform, how you react to stress, who you want to be, and a baseline lab review with a partner physician. The goal is to find out what’s actually going on.
Weeks 4-6
Phase 2: ACTIVATE
Daily routines, recovery habits and pacing. This is usually where energy, sleep and focus start to come back.
Weeks 7-9
Phase 3: ADAPT
Setbacks, frustration, and a version of success you can sustain. Plenty of men hit a wall around week seven, and the program plans for it.
Weeks 10-12
Phase 4: ANCHOR
Habits tied to who you want to be, a plan to keep them going, community, and a clear roadmap for after the program.

Questions
Questions men ask before starting
Is this therapy?
No. Joey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and that training shapes how he coaches, but these programs are coaching. They aren't therapy and they aren't medical care. If you're looking for therapy, say so on your free call and he'll talk through the right fit with you.
Do I need bloodwork before I start?
Yes. Every program starts with bloodwork, reviewed with a partner physician, so the plan isn't built on guesses. Your physician explains the results. Joey uses what your care team finds to shape the daily habits you work on together.
What's the difference between the 6-Week Reset and the 12-Week Deep Dive?
The 6-Week Reset is a focused reset for when something has slipped: energy, sleep, or the feeling that you're running on willpower. The 12-Week Deep Dive goes further, with 75-minute weekly sessions and four phases (Assess, Activate, Adapt, Anchor) built to make the change stick. The Reset ends with a clear decision made together: stop, repeat, or go deeper with the 12-week program.
How much time does it take each week?
One session with Joey a week, plus two quick check-ins a day (about two minutes each) on sleep, stress, readiness, mood, food and recovery. Joey also sends a written note between sessions. If your numbers show a rough day, he reaches out the same day.
What does it cost?
Program pricing is covered on the free 30-minute call, once Joey knows what you need. After a program, continuing care runs $250 to $1,000 a month depending on the tier you choose.
Who is this for?
Men who have already tried the obvious fixes (the diets, the apps, the one-piece specialists) and still feel off. Common starting points are burnout, poor sleep, low energy and stress that follows you home. There's more on coaching for physicians, founders and executives, and men stepping down from treatment. If you're not sure it fits, the free call is where you find out. If you'd rather read first, start with why high-performing men burn out.
Can I do a retreat too?
Yes. Retreats are a few days with 8 to 12 men in private homes on the Southern California coast, at Lake Tahoe, in Colorado or in Utah, built on the same framework as coaching. Moving between the two is easy.
Do you meet in person or online?
Both. Joey meets clients in person in Westlake Village and the Conejo Valley, and coaches men anywhere in the US by video and phone. The daily check-ins work the same either way.
I'm a doctor or therapist. Can I refer someone?
Yes. The referral page covers how it works, who's a good fit and how you stay in the loop. If you're a spouse or partner, start with how to help a burned-out husband.
