168-Hour Health Audit with Diana Feinstein (78)
I bring back performance and health strategist Diana Feinstein from MaxPact Health to unpack why so many of us say “I know what to do, I’m just not doing it.” We talk about unwritten scripts, defining a personal North Star, and why the old “eat less, move more, try harder” playbook falls apart in midlife. Diana walks through how to use your 168-hour week, simple movement, and protein-forward meals to build a life that stays healthy, mobile, and emotionally present for the long haul.
If you’re the person everyone thinks is crushing it while you quietly feel like you’re running on fumes, this episode is for you. Diana Feinstein and I dig into what’s really behind that gap between knowing what to do for your health and actually doing it—and how to close it without blowing up your life.

Founder and Head Coach
On paper, my life seemed well-organized, with plenty of spreadsheets and achievements. Despite this,
there was an emptiness inside me. As a child of Asian immigrants, failure wasn't acceptable. This cultural
background turned comfort food sessions into a mix of delight and dread.
My transformation journey began with a simple goal: to fit into my wedding ring again. Initially, my weight
loss approach was messy and ineffective. I realized I knew as little about weight loss as a penguin knows
about flying.
I stopped experimenting and started treating my time and energy wisely. It wasn't just a diet; it was a life
change, a public unveiling of a new me.
In a surprising turn, I became a fitness and nutrition guru, using my experience to help overworked
professionals. The real change happened when I viewed myself as a prime investment. I applied business
strategy to health, turning calorie counting into a high-stakes game.
Now, my mission is to turn executives into health enthusiasts. It's not just about losing weight; it's about
gaining overall well-being. This journey is transforming lives, one step at a time, making health the new
wealth.
At MaxPact Health we empower Better Health Through Return on Self.
