Dr. Donald (DC, MS, CSCS) works with high-output leaders and pros who want steady energy, sound sleep, and clear decision-making under pressure. Trained as a scientist and former decathlete, he runs a diagnostics-first process: measure first (labs, sleep architecture, HRV, cognitive speed, recovery), act second (light and rhythm, training, sleep, nutrition, travel), then track the deltas in plain numbers. He blends East + West methodologies - nature’s tools before prescriptions - and aligns each client’s MD, trainer, and nutrition so the plan runs as one roadmap. His practice is referral-led and confidentiality is standard. Current work includes select 1:1 advisories and a small, invite-only cohort for leaders who want a clear, sustainable system for health and performance. As a fruit of his labor, CORE Performance Labs is on the way - an evidence-led program built from his vast experience. If you’d like an early look, follow Dr. Donald on LinkedIn to stay in the loop.

Hosted by Mollie McGlocklin and Mollie Eastman, The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast grew from a personal struggle with insomnia into a mission to fundamentally change how we think about rest.

This podcast operates on the conviction that by prioritizing and skillfully cultivating our sleep, we unlock a more resilient, healthy, and focused existence.
