About

ADVANCED WOUND CARE PHYSICIAN
As the CEO, Dr. Catherine Divingian (AKA “Dr. D”) serves as the Medical Director and Advanced Wound Care Physician at REGEN-X Wound Care, where she provides regenerative solutions for men and women who struggle with chronic non-healing wounds (CNHW).
Years ago, her body was racked by numerous injuries and even premature osteoporosis, disabilities that led her to a wheelchair, along with a box full of pain killers and other prescription drugs. But she learned how to overcome ALL her limitations—both physical and mental—and is now a dedicated tactical hybrid athlete who runs, rucks, and lifts with more dedication and zeal than most guys half her age.
Dr. D’s personal journey, marked by physical debilitations and an indomitable spirit, now fuels her professional dedication as an Advanced Wound Care Physician. As a survivor of her own limitations, she is driven to help others to overcome their limitations as well.
SKILL SETS IN MEDICINE, PSYCHOLOGY, HEALTH, AND FITNESS
Dr. Divingian has been a lifelong student and teacher in a wide range of eclectic fields. She is a licensed physician who specializes in internal and emergency medicine. She holds a PhD in Health Psychology, an MS in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and an MBA in Global Entrepreneurship. She has also earned several certifications as a sports nutritionist and strength and conditioning specialist. Prior to her current vocation, she served in academia as a university professor with nearly three decades of experience. A true leader in the health and wellness industry, she has a passion for helping dedicated people to reach their highest levels of personal achievement. Together, her extensive education and experience make her an innovative powerhouse as a coaching specialist.
AUTHOR AND CO-AUTHOR OF NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS
Dr. Catherine 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.
CHIEF SMART-ASS
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.
LIFELONG PASSION FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
Dr. Divingian is a licensed physician who began her medical career in internal medicine (IM) and emergency medicine (EM). In addition to her MD, Dr. Divingian 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 (CES), and an NSCA-certified Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F).
Since the 1990s, Dr. Divingian 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 (PTSS) 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 has treated in the hospital emergency room (ER) or the physical and emotional struggles of the wound-care patients she treats, Dr. D is completely dedicated to her patients.
MEDICALLY TRAINED MILITARY VETERAN
Dr. Divingian’s background is a testament to her dedication and impact. As a former Medical Service Corps (MSC) 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 returned to duty as a Reserve Soldier in the Army Medical Corps (MC).
DARIUS CREED
CO-FOUNDER & ADVANCED WOUND CARE CONSULTANT
INFANTRY, US ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
ADVANCED WOUND CARE CONSULTANT
Co-founder of REGEN-X Wound Care, Creed has devoted over 25 years of his life to the research and application of various aspects of regenerative medicine. During his early profession as a health scientist, personal trainer, and strength and conditioning coach, his investigations into regenerative medicine repeatedly led to surprising healing outcomes that went well beyond his clients’ health and fitness expectations.
These included complete reversals in conditions such as tendinopathy, osteoporosis (OP), chondromalacia patellae (CMP), hypertension (HTN), pre-diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), osteoarthritis (OA), degenerative disc disease (DDD), cellular agglutination, urinary tract infections (UTI), and stage-3 chronic kidney disease (CKD3). The regenerative results 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.
Other types of regenerative medical procedures Creed has implemented include testosterone optimization, external counterpulsation (ECP), peptide-based medical fat loss, and low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) for the treatment of chronic pain and musculoskeletal pathologies.
Since the founding of REGEN-X Wound Care, he now devotes his time to human amniotic membrane (HAM) allograft treatment solutions for chronic non-healing wounds (CNHW). As an Advanced Wound Care Consultant, Creed’s devotion to regenerative medicine is directly correlated with his commitment to scientific research and passion for unconventional medical solutions.
MEDICALLY TRAINED MILITARY VETERAN
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 (2nd MARDIV) and was deployed to several locations in the Middle East where he participated in various missions including Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
Creed concluded his active-duty service with Naval Special Warfare, Group 2 (NSWG-2) Training Detachment (TRADET), 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 Florida Army National Guard (FLARNG).
