Hi! I’m Dr. Diane
An entrepreneur, mindset warrior, perspective shifter and unshakable optimist dedicated to helping you reach your wildest dreams in business, fitness, performance, relationships….in life.
I started my business with nothing more than passion, a laptop and a dream, and I’m proud to have created a socially conscious print and digital platform that has touched over 1 million people in the last 10 years.
Through our print and digital magazines, retreats, book collaborations, world-class online training programs, and our Dr. Diane TV and podcasts, I help people like you become your own visionary and back it up with meaningful action to create results.
So, how in the world did I make all this happen?
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been insatiably curious about the way people think…their mindset type…and how it shapes their lives. I learned very early on in my doctoral program that what made people successful was not how much education or training they possessed. As an exercise physiologist, I’d spent years trying to educate people on how to improve their fitness level and change their bodies. I taught them the right kind of exercise to do…how often, how long and how intense. I taught them the right way to eat…portion size, macronutrient makeup, caloric content, meals per day. I taught them recipes, shopping lists, eating clean, not starving yourself, eating what you want on occasion…the list goes on and on. Walk down the weight loss section at your local bookstore, search the terms “weight loss” online, and you’ll find multitudes of books and information all promoting the latest diet craze. The education is endless, but the success rate is low. While most people will lose weight, the percentage of people that keep that weight off permanently is slim to none. Sad…but true. I finally realized that making a change in your life has nothing to do with how much knowledge you have about how to make that change. In the end, there is only one thing that matters.
| If you think you can make a change; that is the only way you’ll make it. |
| It starts with a thought. |
It’s time to hire a personal trainer.
I knew this to be true at the very core of my being. But what eluded me was how some people seem to be born with a growth mindset and easily succeed at almost everything they do, while others continue to struggle?
So, I started studying everything I could about mindset, positive psychology and brain function. I was also passionate about a multitude of seemingly unconnected things: writing, travel, dancing, entrepreneurship, creativity, teaching, spirituality, and fitness, just to name a few.
After several failed attempts at academic and corporate jobs and a lot of angst trying to choose just one thing to be in life, I realized that my unusual combination of interests and skills was a strength, not a liability. I gave up the security of the 9-5, and started building the magazine and a coaching business from the ground up.
| …from the non-stop stress of a doctoral degree program in Exercise Physiology, to co-authoring 25 research articles in peer-reviewed medical journals, to speaking in front of 20,000 people in major U.S. arenas for a direct sales company, to leading a new division of nutrition and wellness products that generated revenues over $2.5 million, to publishing an Amazon bestseller, to founding 2 print and digital magazines and an education company that reaches one million people, I’m undeniable proof that traditional rules were made to be broken. |

FYI – though I run a digital company I am adamant about having balance in my life and so I spend as much time offline as humanly possible. I’m not overly active on social media, so if you want the inside scoop from me, our Insider’s list is where it’s at. Most of the time, you’ll only hear from me on Wednesdays; more if something is time-sensitive or important.
