Sonic Boom Academy

Danna Korn is a co-founder of Sonic Boom Wellness, a digital wellness company specializing in stimulating, innovative corporate wellness programs that improve employees’ daily health habits. Leveraging behavioral economics, motivational psychology, game theory, and evidence-based research, Korn teamed up with fellow co-founder, Bryan Van Noy, to revolutionize the corporate wellness industry in 2007. Pioneering what’s now known as the “engagement” category of wellbeing, Sonic Boom is constantly innovating ahead of the pack. Korn and Van Noy grew Sonic Boom into a comprehensive, holistic, worksite-wellbeing solution that brings together the fun and socially engaging elements with the more clinical and measurement-driven initiatives – all under one automated and easy-to-use system.

Danna also has a background in motivational speaker and is a best-selling author. She has written several best-sellers, including "Living Gluten-Free for Dummies (editions 1 and 2)," "Gluten-Free Cooking for Dummies (editions 1 and 2)," "Wheat-Free, Worry-Free: The Art of Happy, Healthy, Gluten-Free Living," "Gluten-Free Kids," and "Kids with Celiac Disease: A Family Guide to Raising Gluten-Free Children."

All four editions of her “For Dummies” books were best-selling “For Dummies” books of the year when they were published. An expert on the physiological effects of gluten, Danna also enjoys helping people live – and LOVE – the gluten-free lifestyle. Danna has paved the path for the worldwide gluten-free initiative since 1991, when her then two-year-old son, Tyler, was diagnosed with celiac disease. With decades of experience in what was then a nascent industry, she is renowned as the Gluten-Free Guru – the name People Magazine gave her when they featured her life’s work and passion in 2007.

An aggressive advocate for the gluten-free community and consultant to many national testing and food companies, Danna is also the founder of the world’s largest support group for kids on a gluten-free diet (Raising Our Celiac Kids – R.O.C.K.) and speaks around the world. A serial entrepreneur, Danna started her first “business” when she was eight years old. Her several subsequent entrepreneurial endeavors include a successful marketing firm and recruiting agency. An adrenaline junkie, Danna enjoys thrill-seeking adventures that involve high speeds and helmets.

In 2021, Sonic Boom Wellness was acquired by Premise Health.
