Angelina Kardash, PCC
Founder

Angelina Kardash, PCC

Wellness Strategist & Certified Functional Longevity Coach

Founder of the Ageless Institute · Creator of the Ageless Code™ System

Her Story

She built this work because she needed it herself. After a health crisis that conventional medicine labeled permanent, Angelina immersed herself in cellular science, functional genomics, and longevity research and found her way back to full vitality. What she discovered in that process became a system. And that system is now changing lives.

Her Background

With 25 years as a Silicon Valley executive, Angelina brings precision thinking and results-driven strategy to the world of health and longevity. She has hosted the Achieve Optimal Health Summit, worked with high-performing clients across industries, and created the Ageless Code™ Integration Retreat, a science-backed intensive for entrepreneurs and executives ready to reverse their epigenetic age and reclaim full vitality to operate at their biological peak.

Her Approach

Angelina doesn't believe in generic prescriptions or dependency on someone else managing your health. Instead, she teaches you to understand your unique biology so you can make choices that actually work for your body—for life. Through the Ageless Code™ System, the Retreat, the Academy, and personalized coaching, she's helped hundreds of clients reclaim energy, clarity, and vitality.

She holds a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential and specializes in functional longevity for high-performing entrepreneurs and executives.

Nyla Allen

Wellness Entrepreneur & Leadership Mentor

Co-Founder, Ageless Institute · Founder, Dolce Vita Wellness & Medical Spa and The Refuge Spa

Nyla Allen is a wellness entrepreneur, leadership mentor, and Founder of two award-winning businesses in Reno, Nevada: Dolce Vita Wellness & Medical Spa and The Refuge Spa. Over the past twelve years, she has built multimillion-dollar companies grounded in one truth: sustainable leadership begins with self-awareness.

Nyla works at the intersection of integrative wellness, personal optimization, nervous system regulation, and conscious leadership. Her work is focused on shifting how we think about wellness—moving beyond surface-level self-care, toward a deeper understanding of how the body, mind, and environment shape the way we lead and live.

She guides high-achieving women who have mastered performance yet feel disconnected from themselves. Her work centers on self-trust—the practice of listening to the body, and leading from internal alignment rather than external expectation.

Her philosophy was shaped through lived experience. After reaching outward success but feeling inward misalignment, Nyla chose to turn inward instead of pushing harder. Through meditation, deep self-reflection, breathwork, and learning to read the subtle signals of her own body, she rebuilt her foundation. That shift transformed not only her leadership, but her life.

Today, she mentors women entrepreneurs, speaks on embodied leadership, and develops integrative wellness programs designed to help women recalibrate without abandoning ambition.

In The Way She Leads, Nyla explores the power of self-trust as a leadership practice—not as a motivational idea, but as a daily discipline rooted in awareness of mind, body, and intuition.

Nyla is a devoted mother, visionary CEO, and advocate for women who are ready to lead from wholeness rather than pressure.

Functional Medicine

Dr. François Aubertin, DEM, Ost., M.Sc.

Osteopathic & Functional Medicine Physician

36 Years Clinical Experience · Master's in Neuroscience

The Journey

François is a passionate healer from Montréal with 36 years of clinical practice in etiopathic medicine and osteopathy. He holds a Master's degree in Neuroscience and has immersed himself in functional medicine and nutrition through the Kresser Institute—deepening his understanding of how to optimize cellular health at its foundation.

His Expertise & Focus

Dr. François specializes in metabolic health optimization, recognizing it as today's major cause of modern disease. His passion lies in teaching and educating others on how to truly optimize cellular health—particularly through understanding cell membranes, which he calls "the intelligent gate-keepers and deciders of what gets in or leaves our cells."

With 37 trillion cells making up the human body—each a functional, specialized unit of our tissues, organs, and systems—Dr. François takes a systems-level approach to understanding and restoring health. He combines:

  • Etiopathic medicine & osteopathy — 36 years of hands-on practice in whole-body healing
  • Neuroscience — Master's-level understanding of the nervous system and cellular signaling
  • Functional medicine — Root-cause analysis of metabolic dysfunction and cellular inflammation
  • Nutrition science — Cellular-level nutrition to restore membrane integrity and metabolic health
  • Osteopathic principles — Structural and manipulative techniques that support optimal function

At the Retreat

Dr. François leads comprehensive health assessment sessions and interprets your biomarkers through the lens of metabolic health and cellular optimization. His decades of clinical experience mean he understands the patterns—and knows which interventions actually work for real people in real life.

True healing happens when we understand that our cells are intelligent beings that respond to the environment we create. By optimizing metabolic health, supporting membrane integrity, and teaching the body how to communicate efficiently, we can restore vitality at the deepest level.

Dr. Gabrielle Gutierrez, PharmD, CFGP

Certified Functional Genomics Practitioner

Founder, GFG Precision Health, LLC

Her Expertise

Dr. Gabrielle Gutierrez is a PharmD and Certified Functional Genomics Practitioner with a deep specialization in precision health and wellness. She brings cutting-edge expertise in translating genetic data into actionable, personalized wellness strategies.

Her Role at the Retreat

Dr. Gabrielle is your guide to understanding your DNA and what it reveals about your unique health blueprint. She teaches you how to read your genetic predispositions, not as destiny, but as information you can use to make smarter choices about your health, energy, and longevity.

Genetics is not fate. It's data. When you understand what your genes are actually telling you—about your metabolism, your stress response, your nutritional needs, your longevity risks—you get to make conscious decisions. That's when real, personalized transformation becomes possible.
