Built by practitioners,
for practitioners.
Both founders came to holistic health through unconventional paths — a Coast Guard veteran turned clinical nutritionist, and a Naval Academy graduate turned gym owner turned herbalist. Their shared belief: real mastery comes from doing, not just studying.
Dr. David Feuz's path to becoming a clinical nutrition expert wasn't a straight line — but it's one fueled by passion, persistence, and purpose. Before discovering nutrition, David spent eight years serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, working in search and rescue, law enforcement, and port security operations along the East Coast.
Driven by a deep passion for health and wellness, David made a bold 180° career change — earning a personal training certification while simultaneously pursuing a master's degree in Clinical Nutrition. One pivotal moment came when he was invited to join a groundbreaking initiative to develop the country's first mandatory nutrition curriculum for medical students — a role he embraced for two years.
Building on that teaching foundation, David became a teaching assistant at Sonoran University of Health Sciences, then an adjunct professor at Purdue University Global — before being approached by the Nutrition Therapy Association to redesign their certification program curriculum. Each step came from a mindset of saying yes to growth, even when opportunities looked unexpected on the surface.
After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy with a major in computer science and serving as a submariner in the Navy for eight years, Sean transitioned his passion for health and wellness into a flourishing gym in the heart of Washington DC. Over the following decade, he expanded to include a swim school for kids and adults and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy.
Recently, Sean completed an MS in Clinical Nutrition and an MS in Herbal Product Manufacturing — deepening the nutrition services at his gym and founding an online apothecary. He is passionate about helping aspiring health and wellness entrepreneurs learn to run successful businesses, and serves as an adjunct professor at the Maryland University of Integrative Health, teaching business development within the Herbal Product Manufacturing master's program.
Sean is a co-founder of three innovative virtual health and wellness companies. His entrepreneurial journey — from military officer to gym owner to clinical nutritionist to educator — is the lived proof of concept behind everything HC teaches.
