OUR TEAM

I’m Russ Allen, Co-Founder of Optimal Wellness.
My journey began when I started my family and became the CEO of a business in New York City. The years of pressure took it’s toll. I gained 60 lbs and suffered health setbacks as a result. In 2020, I took on the role of Director of the NFL Alumni Wellness Challenge after losing 50lbs using a meal replacement program. I went on to coach over 25 retired NFL Greats who lost on average 35 lbs. Today, I’m down to total of 60 lbs but more importantly, have improved my wellness.

Hi I’m Kaye Allen, Co-Founder of Optimal Wellness. My journey began when I started my career in New York as Legal Administrator for several non-for-profits. The stress of my job and the demands of giving birth to and raising 4 children took it’s toll. I eventually gained over 70 lbs. I retired and immediately had a surgery. During my recovery, I saw myself with new eyes and determined to regain my health and optimize my weight. Today, I live a new lifestyle with activity and nutrition sustaining my wellness and Red Light Therapy supporting my body’s renewal.
