About Illuminated Minds

Our Mission: Empowering Professionals to Live with Purpose

At Illuminated Minds, we guide high-performing professionals—especially those in demanding fields like healthcare—toward a life that’s not only successful but deeply fulfilling. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the vision of balance and freedom that first inspired your career, you’re not alone. Many professionals struggle with the pressures of financial stress, exhausting workloads, and a lack of support. But there’s hope. Together, we can find a path to align your career with your values, create a life of purpose, and restore the balance you desire.

I’ve been where you are. Overcoming debt, managing a demanding career, and facing the frustration of one-size-fits-all advice that didn’t fit my values. Yet, I found a way to align my practice with my beliefs and create a life of freedom, success, and meaning. I’m here to help you do the same. Through our programs, we offer personalized support to help you reclaim your life—professionally, financially, and personally.

At Illuminated Minds, we provide a range of programs designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward your ideal life. Our signature offerings include:

  1. Ultimate Self Mastery (USM): A year-long, science-backed program for personal and professional growth. With a proven track record from over 3,800 TrustPilot reviews, USM helps professionals elevate their career, finances, and well-being at their own pace.
  2. EMF Foundations: A one-month interactive program that dives into key areas: understanding your connection to reality and mastering the essential relationships of money, health, and personal connections.
  3. The Elite Mentorship Forum (EMF): A six-month immersive experience combining structured learning with peer support. Through three transformative phases—Foundation & Reinvention, Purpose & Direction, and Relationship with Life—you’ll gain clarity, community, and the tools to create lasting change.

I'm Here to Help

I’ve been where you are, and I know the steps that lead to true fulfillment are deeply personal. The transformational program I coach others through is designed to take you there, empowering you to create the balanced, purposeful life you’re seeking.

The mind behind illuminated minds

About Dr. Daryle Starnes

With over 34 years of experience in healthcare, I’ve dedicated my career to not just treating patients but building meaningful, lasting relationships based on trust, integrity, and ethical care. As a chiropractor, I’ve had the privilege of treating over 27,000 patients and managing a practice that grew into one of the top performers in my field, all while maintaining my commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care.

My practice wasn’t just about treating symptoms; it was about helping people create real, lasting change in their lives. Despite the challenges I faced along the way—from overcoming student loans and business debt to navigating a lawsuit and working with consultants who didn’t understand my unique approach—I remained steadfast in my values and my mission. Here’s what made my practice truly special:

  • Personalized Care: A focus on treating each patient as an individual, building authentic relationships and tailoring treatments to meet their specific needs and objectives.
  • Top 2% in Medicare Utilization: A financially successful practice without the need for high volume or aggressive sales tactics, built on ethical, honest care.
  • Overcoming Challenges with Integrity: Navigating financial pressures and unaligned advice while staying committed to the principles of honesty, transparency, and ethical practice.
  • Commitment to Education & Continuous Growth: Board eligibility as a Chiropractic Neurologist, with years of dedication to learning and staying at the forefront of my field.
  • Serving the Community: Active involvement in my local community, church, and as an expert witness in auto accident, job injury, and disability claims.

Through my journey, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about staying true to your values while creating a life that balances purpose with freedom. Now, I’m passionate about helping other professionals like you navigate similar challenges and achieve not only career success but a life filled with fulfillment and purpose.
