TESTIMONIALS
DIANE JEON
My name is Diane Jeon and I’m a busy wife and mom to 3 beautiful kids! I know first hand the challenges that come with being a stay at home parent and a working parent as I have done both.
Juggling all the responsibilities of a parent is a huge blessing, but also a huge challenge and sometimes, this can really take a toll on our health.
I am passionate about educating and empowering people to be their best selves! Focusing on MENTAL health, SPIRITUAL health, and PHYSICAL health! These work hand in hand. I am here to support you on your wellness journey whatever that looks like specifically for you.
ALEX ANDERSON
Hi, I’m Alex, and this is my real and raw weight loss journey. I’ve struggled with my weight since my mid-20s — and trust me, I tried all the fad diets. You name it, I’ve done it. And just like clockwork, the weight would come off… and then it would creep right back on. It felt like I was stuck on a never-ending yo-yo.
It wasn’t until the pandemic hit that I finally realized: My health had to become a serious priority. During COVID, I lost 50 pounds. But after the world opened back up, old habits crept in — and before I knew it, I had gained every single pound back. I looked in the mirror… and honestly, I didn’t recognize the woman staring back at me.
Years later, I made a real decision. This time, it wasn’t about a “perfect body.”
It was about saving my health and showing up for myself every single day. I committed to real change. And today, I’m proud to say: I’ve lost 70 pounds.
I’m going to be real with you: It’s NOT easy. I don’t love the gym. I still love desserts. But the difference now? It’s all about accountability — Being honest with what I’m eating… Finding ways to move my body — even if it’s just at home. Not beating myself up for having a treat but knowing that I earned those moments because I showed up for myself first.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being consistent.
It’s about breaking the cycle —
You are capable of change.
You just have to show up… one day at a time.
RUSS ALLEN
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.
KAYE ALLEN
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.
