Burnout isn't a personal failure.
It's a systemic one.

Healthcare workers carry the weight of everyone else's health — often at the expense of their own. Long shifts, irregular sleep, poor nutrition access, and chronic stress aren't just uncomfortable. They're unsustainable.

The standard wellness advice was written for people with standard lives. You don't have that. You need a system built specifically for the reality of your work.

See how CodeBrew is different
Energy crashes mid-shift

No recovery window, no proper nutrition access — just pushing through.

Cognitive overload

The mental load doesn't clock out when you do. It follows you home.

Impossible nutrition

No time for meal prep between 12-hour shifts. Vending machines aren't a meal plan.

Broken sleep cycles

Rotating shifts wreck your circadian rhythm. No amount of melatonin fixes that alone.

Four pillars. One sustainable system.

CodeBrew Foundations isn't a generic wellness program repackaged for nurses. Every pillar was designed with shift schedules, clinical demands, and realistic time constraints as the starting point — not an afterthought.

Nutrition

Realistic, sustainable nutrition that supports energy, recovery, stress management, and long-term health within the demands of shift work and busy schedules.

Shift-adapted

Movement

Movement that supports strength, mobility, longevity, stress relief, and overall wellbeing — without an all-or-nothing mindset.

Sustainable

Recovery & Regulation

Stress management, nervous system support, sleep, recovery, burnout prevention, and building habits that help healthcare workers come out of chronic survival mode.

Science-backed

Community

Connection, support, shared experiences, education, mentorship, accountability — and a space built by healthcare workers, for healthcare workers.

Community-driven

Six weeks. Sustainable systems.
Real change.

The CodeBrew Foundations program is a structured 6-week experience that builds lasting health habits — one sustainable layer at a time. No overwhelm, no fads, no "just try harder."

Built by someone
who lived it.

Chelsea Ulmer is an emergency department nurse with 15 years of experience, primarily working in Level I trauma centers across the country as both a staff nurse and travel nurse.

Outside of healthcare, her background has always centered around performance, movement, nutrition, and human resilience. She began as a competitive marathon runner before transitioning into competitive CrossFit — eventually qualifying for the CrossFit Games — and later becoming a National Figure bodybuilder. She and her husband previously owned and operated a CrossFit gym for seven years.

Over the years, Chelsea continued studying nutrition, strength training, functional medicine wellness, recovery, and sustainable performance while simultaneously witnessing the growing physical and mental toll healthcare places on providers firsthand — both personally and professionally.

After years of watching colleagues burn out while quietly struggling with many of the same patterns herself, she built CodeBrew. Not as a perfect solution — as a realistic one.

A platform created to help healthcare workers build sustainable habits around nutrition, movement, recovery, stress management, and overall wellbeing within the reality of this profession.

"The system didn't exist, so I built it — for all of us."
