Dr Alisha is a physician, executive leadership coach and keynote speaker who works at the intersection of medicine, neuroscience and self mastery.

For over a decade she has worked with CEOs, founders, physicians and C-suite leaders, helping these leaders close the gap between external success and internal coherence. Her methodology draws on clinical medicine, heart coherence as well as validated leadership models to help you understand not just how you perform, but the subtle ways that performance degrades under pressure - and what it takes to restore the internal conditions for sustained, clean leadership and execution.

Her work sits deliberately at the edge of what most leadership development brushes over: the body at a cellular level, nervous system engagement and energy, and the alignment between a leader's intelligence fields.

She has spoken globally and she brings the same precision and depth to a keynote stage that she brings to her clinical practice.

Dr. Marlow Hernandez is a physician-executive with more than 15 years of experience in value-based care across the United States. He has led healthcare initiatives that combine clinical practice with structured system design to deliver measurable, life-saving outcomes for hundreds of thousands of patients. His work centers on improving access, strengthening coordination, and building scalable care models.

Hernandez holds a clear, consistent belief: “We do not turn patients away.” Guided by this principle, he has developed organizations that integrate primary care, specialty services, and advanced analytics to support proactive and personalized medicine. He applies data as a clinical tool, using it to identify risk early and improve long-term outcomes, especially for underserved populations.

Born in Cienfuegos, Cuba, and raised in the Miami area, he immigrated to the United States in 1993. During childhood, he witnessed gaps in healthcare while observing his grandmother manage complicated diabetes. At five years old, Marlow Hernandez promised he would become a physician and help her. That early promise shaped his broader mission to improve healthcare systems for entire communities. He earned a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience from the University of Miami and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) from Nova Southeastern University. He completed his training at Cleveland Clinic Florida and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine, a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine, and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP).

With DO, MPH, and MBA training, he founded a healthcare organization that expanded from one clinic into a $3 billion revenue platform serving 400,000 members. Under his leadership, it became the fastest-growing primary care network in the U.S. for two consecutive years, according to Inc. magazine. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization achieved a sustained 60% reduction in patient mortality, findings published in the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC). It maintained a Five-Star quality rating for five straight years. It grew from $0 to nearly $1.0 billion in revenue within two years under the inaugural CMS direct contracting entity (now ACO REACH).

In 2023, Dr. Marlow left the company, which reorganized as a private entity in June 2024 and continues to operate in Florida. He later co-founded a senior-focused healthcare organization in Nevada, including locations on Tropicana Ave in Las Vegas and in North Las Vegas. There, he introduced a 48-Hour Guarantee and supported the development of a proprietary platform that predicts 30-day hospitalization risk with over 90% accuracy.

He remains active in clinical practice with unrestricted licenses in Florida and Nevada. His service includes charitable medical care, disaster relief, frontline pandemic response, long-term faith-based giving, research publication, conference contributions, and civic recognition. Throughout his career, Dr. Marlow Hernandez has remained committed to patient access and system improvement.

In this role, he oversees companies involved in residential and commercial real estate investing, holding, development, and management services. Before giving his full attention to this work, he founded an integrative psychiatry practice with locations in two major California cities. He served as its chief executive and president for nearly 10 years, gaining experience that connected healthcare leadership, business operations, and entrepreneurship.

Dr. Bindal built his medical career as a board-certified psychiatrist and sleep specialist. During his years in practice, he cared for patients through traditional treatment methods, including medication management and counseling.

He was named a Diamond Circle Provider, a designation reserved for high-volume Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation practices. He also received leadership and corporation awards at a healthcare conference in 2023. In addition, he was listed as a Top Doctor, and the practice he founded was voted best in its local region by consumers in 2024 and 2025. Strong patient ratings also reflected trust in the care setting he helped lead.

Dr. Bindal has contributed beyond clinical practice through committee service, advisory responsibilities, public speaking, and writing. His background includes participation in healthcare committees, quality monitoring groups, medication review work, and professional organizations. He received awards connected to senior residency achievement, diversity leadership, clinical psychopharmacology, and professional scholarship. He also served as a speaker and panelist at regional and national conferences, where he discussed healthcare leadership, entrepreneurship, workplace environment, and employee well-being in practical terms.

Dr. Ankur Bindal earned his medical degree in India in 2003. He later completed graduate studies in public health in Texas, focusing on clinical research, biostatistics, and social and behavioral sciences. His training included family medicine, adult psychiatry, and a sleep medicine fellowship through a neurology department. He holds board certification and professional fellowship distinctions in his field.

Dino Crnalic is an entrepreneur and executive whose professional journey reflects steady progress built on discipline, patience, and responsibility. He immigrated to the United States in 1999 and began shaping his future through education and consistent effort. Adjusting to a new environment required humility and perseverance, which influenced his long-term perspective on opportunity and work. Rather than pursuing rapid recognition, he focused on learning how systems function, earning trust through dependable actions, and developing habits that support stability, accountability, and sustainable professional growth over time.

Dino completed his university education while competing as a collegiate athlete, balancing academic expectations with the structure and demands of organized sports. This stage of life requires focus, resilience, and strong time management. Daily training and competition reinforced the importance of preparation, teamwork, and composure under pressure, while academic responsibilities emphasized consistency and follow-through. These experiences helped him understand the value of shared effort and personal accountability, lessons that later shaped his approach to leadership and decision-making in professional settings.

Crnalic began his professional career in the health and fitness industry, gaining early exposure to both customer engagement and operational execution. Work in the supplement and retail environment provided practical insight into consumer education, ethical responsibility, and the importance of consistency in daily business activities. During this time, he remained personally committed to training and continued expanding his understanding of conditioning and health management. This balance between hands-on experience and continued learning helped him develop a realistic and grounded view of the industry.

Dino Crnalic later transitioned into gym ownership, operating two fitness facilities over a combined twelve-year period. These businesses grew steadily and eventually employed more than one hundred individuals across training, operations, and administrative roles. He remained directly involved in hiring, staff development, scheduling, and operational oversight. Managing teams of this size required patience, clear communication, and consistent standards, particularly during periods of growth, staffing challenges, and ongoing changes within the fitness industry.

Dino gained meaningful entrepreneurial experience through the long-term operation and expansion of these fitness businesses. The facilities served individuals with a wide range of experience levels, requiring adaptability and respect for personal goals. One location received public attention for its scale and long-term vision, reflecting careful planning rather than rushed growth. These years reinforced lessons in financial discipline, customer retention, and the importance of maintaining service quality during both stable periods and times of economic uncertainty.

Crnalic expanded his professional focus beyond gym ownership into executive leadership and capital development. He has participated in raising more than twenty million dollars in capital for business ventures, working with investors to support growth while maintaining accountability. He currently serves in a chief operating officer role in the health care sector, overseeing operational systems and contributing to organizational strategy. This position reflects years of experience managing people, processes, and long-term performance expectations with consistency and care.

Dino Crnalic maintains a regular fitness routine as part of daily life, including strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and structured conditioning. He also pursues challenging outdoor activities that require preparation, focus, and an appreciation of risk. Experiences such as deep-water scuba diving and skiing reinforce discipline and composure under demanding conditions. These activities are approached as personal practices that support balance, mental clarity, and long-term physical well-being rather than external recognition.

Dino places strong importance on family, integrity, and responsibility in both personal and professional life. He is a devoted father who prioritizes presence, guidance, and shared experiences while also caring for close family members. After experiencing the loss of his wife to severe illness in 2011, he committed time and effort to charitable support through an established organization. This period reinforced values of compassion, consistency, and long-term commitment that continue to guide his decisions and actions.

That experience fuels his powerful leadership framework built on accountability, communication, consistency, and trust.
