Darius Creed has devoted most of his life to investigating various aspects of human performance, including sports psychology, exercise science, nutrition science, and neuroenhancement. He was eventually compelled to augment his experience and knowledge of performance through both his military career and coaching business.
As co-CEO, he serves as the company’s Master-level Human-Performance Coach. Dedicated to helping men and women unlock their hidden strengths, the attention and service he provides his clients are second to none.
Creed has been a strength and conditioning trainer and peak-performance coach for more than two decades. Back in 2000, he first started volunteering coaching services to U.S. Marines to enhance their performance. Over the years, he has provided training, classes, and consultation to hundreds of people from a wide range of backgrounds, with clients ranging from teenagers to senior citizens.
In 2007, Creed participated in the international military-wide Crews Into Shape contest and led an eight-person team that collectively lost over 50 lbs. of weight. His group had the distinct honor of being first-place winners out of hundreds of teams composed of thousands of competitors.
Creed has authored and published numerous health and fitness articles. He is also the primary author of the book Sleep Victory: How to Defeat Chronic Sleep Loss and Finally Get the Rest You Need, released in 2024.
Formerly an ACE-certified Personal Trainer and USAW-certified Sports Performance Coach, he continues to maintain his certification as a Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
In addition to his fitness certifications, Creed earned his Bachelor of Science in Health Science and graduated with honors (summa cum laude). He also completed his second master’s degree, which is in Sport (Performance) Psychology.
Creed’s coaching, while focused primarily on mindset, diet, and exercise, has repeatedly led to surprising health outcomes beyond his clients’ expectations, including complete reversals in conditions such as tendinopathy, osteoporosis, chondromalacia patellae, hypertension, pre-diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, cellular agglutination, urinary tract infections, and stage-3 chronic kidney disease. These regenerative outcomes were often accompanied with supportive medical documentary evidence.
In 2012, Creed disclosed his microscopic before/after blood analyses to the Human Performance Laboratory of the Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Group 2 Training Detachment (TRADET) and revealed definitive proof of the adverse agglutinating effects of gluten on red blood cells. His success with natural healing is directly correlated with his commitment to scientific research and unconventional medical investigation.
A former Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Corpsman (infantry medic), Creed has over 14 years of training and experience in military trauma field medicine. During his active-duty tenure, he devoted nearly five years attached to several infantry combat units with the 2nd Marines, 2nd Marine Division and has been deployed to several locations in the Middle East where he participated in various missions including Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003).
Creed concluded his active-duty service with Naval Special Warfare, Group 2 Training Detachment, where he provided medical care for Navy SEALs and their instructors during pre-deployment training operations.
Today, Creed continues his military service part-time as an Infantryman in the US Army National Guard (Florida). Unquestionably, his medical and military experiences irrevocably influenced and enhanced his perspective on health and human performance, which he now leverages to help driven achievers max out their mental resilience and cognitive performance.

Dr. Catherine Divingian (AKA “Dr. D”) is a physician and co-CEO of NEUROTOUGH, where she provides coaching and consulting services to other physicians looking to overcome the stressors of their demanding careers.
Stress is a concept Dr. D is well acquainted with.
Like many vets, her military career led her down a path where she ended up with a broken body and a shoebox full of prescription drugs. But she didn’t just endure the typical aches and pains. She was unfortunate enough to become crippled . . . and resigned to a wheelchair.
She was broken physically and mentally.
But she learned how to overcome ALL her limitations and is now a dedicated tactical hybrid athlete who runs, rucks, and lifts with more dedication and zeal than most men and women half her age.
And despite the stressful rigors of medical school, she was able to achieve her lifelong dream of becoming a physician by the age of 50 and now runs her own men’s health clinic.
Dr. Divingian is the author and co-author of several life-changing books and other publications, including Sleep Victory: How to Defeat Chronic Sleep Loss and Finally Get the Rest You Need; Optimizing Combat Readiness in Female Military Personnel; The Spartan Diva: The Ultimate Get Lean Diet Plan; Real Talk, Real Women; and When You are Stuck in a Rut. She was also published in Medscape, EM Resident (“Firefighter Down!”: Sudden Cardiac Events and Risk Mitigation for Emergency First Responders); Fitness & Physique magazine (Going Beyond Fat-Loss); and Navy Medicine journal (Leading Fitness), among others.
Dr. Divingian isn’t just a military veteran, medical pioneer, and dedicated coach; she’s also the self-appointed “Chief Smart-Ass.” Known for her razor-sharp wit and straight talk, she brings a refreshing candor to high-stakes environments, from operational medicine to executive boardrooms. Her sarcasm isn’t just personality; it’s strategy. By blending humor with brutal honesty, she can shake individuals out of their complacency, driving them toward peak performance in a relatable, no-nonsense way. In challenging the status quo, Dr. D proves real growth doesn’t always follow conventional paths.
Dr. Divingian is a licensed physician who began her medical career in internal and emergency medicine.
In addition to her MD, she holds a PhD in Health Psychology and an MS in Pharmaceutical Sciences. She is also an ISSA-certified Sports Nutritionist, an ISSA-certified Corrective Exercise Specialist, and an NSCA-certified Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator.
But Dr D will be the first to tell you that her credentials mean nothing without the action to back them up. So, she makes it a point to live what she preaches as an athlete and peak-performance coach.
A true leader of personal development and transformation, she has a passion for guiding dedicated physicians to reach their highest levels of human performance.
Since the 1990s, Dr. D served in various academic roles as a professor and research scientist. But her journey was never about the titles and accolades; it was about rolling up her sleeves and diving into the trenches.
Her investigations have spanned the medical-health spectrum and included innovative proposals on wearable battlefield triage sensors and cardiac stress-detection devices; improved policies for female combat readiness; rapid community response to medical disaster; post-traumatic stress syndrome and delayed wound healing; the effects of aspartame on the brain; complex post-traumatic stress syndrome in first responders; the physiology of diabetes; and sudden cardiac events in firefighters.
Despite her scientific training, Dr. Divingian is never one to be satisfied in the lab. She prefers to deal with the real-world stuff. Whether that be the injuries and traumas she treats in the hospital emergency room or the mental struggles of the physicians she coaches, Dr. D never stops.
Dr. Divingian’s background is a testament to her dedication and impact. As a former Medical Service Corps officer in the U.S. Navy, she conducted research in operational medicine and telemedicine, produced educational materials on radiation safety, and led crucial disaster medicine drills on the USNS Mercy. After more than two decades, Dr. D has returned to duty as a reserve Soldier in the Army Medical Corps.
Now, Dr. Divingian has combined what she has learned from her medical and military training toward helping physicians to overcome the challenges of anxiety and overwhelm, as well as all the health obstacles that these issues cause. More than that, she has made it her personal mission to help physicians rise above their perceived limitations and reclaim their passion for medicine.
