Meet Dianne Shanahan, Health Coach
My name is Dianne Shanahan. I discovered the world of primal living / eating over 3 years ago while training as an athlete at Cynergy CrossFit. In June of 2009, one month after my 50th birthday, I participated in the first ever CCF Paleo challenge and have never turned back.
Having unsuccessfully dieted for more than 40 years of my life, I finally realized that conventional wisdom and the standard American diet not only don’t work but are attributing to the problem of obesity in the world today. The longer I live this way and the more I learn, the stronger my belief becomes that the primal/paleo lifestyle holds the secret to health and longevity. The benefits and changes I’ve experienced are just one testimonial. Read my story here.
I have been fortunate to lead CCF athletes through several paleo challenges and have been extremely excited for them as they too discover how living this way not only makes changes in their bodies, but in their performance in CrossFit as well.

Testimonials from recent Paleo Challenges
“This was by far my most successful attempt at “going paleo”. It was during this challenge that I began to see and feel results. My endurance increased, my recovery time during WOD’s improved, I need a new belt! My chest actually touches the bar doing chest to bar pull-ups! I found that giving up the milk and chocolate chip cookies and the sandwich at lunch were not as difficult this time around because I had the support at home as well as the satisfaction of finally seeing the physical change in myself.”
“Crossfit and paleo have saved my life, maybe a little dramatic but that’s how it feels. I can’t say enough about what this challenge and Cynergy has done for me not only in the past 8 weeks but the past year and a half.”
“I’ve seen results on this challenge and it feels great. Di, I know your story and I still love reading about it because it addresses all the fears I have. I have to keep telling myself that weight loss and learning to eat healthier is a process.”

“You’ve got an incredible community with Cynergy and coaches like Dianne and Cindy who truly, I mean truly, want you to succeed.”
“I’m so glad I did this! It has changed my life and I no longer feel like weight loss surgery might be an option, because it was starting to look that way. I have a very long road ahead of me, but Paleo and Crossfit seem to be the right combination for me”
“Physically- I did a dead hang pull-up for the first time in 11 years! I can run a mile (and more) without wheezing and needing to lay down after. Mentally- I finally really realized that I can be comfortable in my body. I actually care less about how much I weigh and more about how I feel. The difference in my confidence level is amazing.”
“Di’s motivational tips each week were great. Always learning from her advice.”
“One of the greatest physical successes was to actually fit into clothes I haven’t fit into in years. I’m not sure it gets any better than that! But the cherry on top was not needing my CPAP machine anymore! I had NO idea I would ever be off of that thing, but I stopped using it BEFORE the end of the 8 week challenge. I had been on the machine for 6+ years and had to lug on vacations and overnights. I’m packing that baby up for good!”

“Di’s stories of the process she went through made me feel hopeful. I’m getting so much closer to understanding how she felt!”
“There are also the emotional pit falls that become so much clearer. You start to realize how much you use food as a way to stave off emotions such as frustration, anger and boredom and on the positive note how food is used to celebrate.”
“It has changed my workouts and health/wellness/fitness level for the better and I am very happy.”
“The motivation for me is not suffering from chronic fatigue and chronic headaches. Prior to starting this paleo challenge I was constantly tired, this has been going on for the last 3 years.”
“I have seen numerous doctors and had multiple tests to figure out the chronic fatigue reason but they all just keep telling me I’m healthy and I need to sleep more, perhaps 10 hours a night. After starting the paleo challenge with in the first 10-14 days I noticed a world of difference”
“The sense that there is no finish line in life. You might succeed in completing a small event, but life will continue on after this. For the first time I viewed a challenge as a chance to learn about myself, and not as just another thing to fail.”

It has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me and has inspired me to continually educate and certify myself so that I can continue to help others achieve a life free of disease and illness.
My philosophy around coaching athletes is primarily centered around the basics of Paleo nutrition and I focus mainly on lifestyle and individual needs, tastes and preferences. I also include coaching the athlete around the choices they make and the beliefs they have in terms of their health and wellness. It is without a doubt one of the most powerful combinations to promote change that I know of and I am so excited to be able to work with athletes to achieve their goals.
