About Us
Steven Vereen, CEO and Co-Founder
As a young adult Steven was determined not to carry extra weight like some of his family members and at the time kept it off by disciplining himself to eat low calorie diets. He tried a number of different diets that seemed to take the extra pounds off, but they eventually failed because he was left hungry and bored with what he was eating. The high protein and low carbohydrate diet he incorporated for a number of years seemed to cause more muscle forfeiture than fat loss. While experiencing the vicious cycle of losing weight -- by losing muscle structure, then gaining the weight back again and again as fat, rather than muscle, it was emotionally and physically debilitating. He was frustrated and dismayed, to say the least.
As Steven reached midlife, his doctors pronounced he had the debilitating degenerative disease of rheumatoid arthritis which, as you may know, is extremely painful. His joints were deteriorating one by one, throbbing 24 hours a day. And by that time doctors had also diagnosed him with colitis and diverticulitis; he was unable to sit through a business meeting without embarrassing incidents taking place. The prognosis of ending up in a wheelchair, being spoon-fed, and the possibility of colon surgery suddenly changed his once ambitious financial priorities into more pragmatic, altruistic concerns. Not to be deterred, however, he hired a staff of five people to start investigating possible health alternatives; and through a series of connections in the health field, a medical library was discovered which contained the records of MD’s who had practiced medicine for over 50 years. They had passed away but nonetheless they had established eating protocols that had been used successfully with their patients in their medical practice. These doctors had been training their patients to help themselves through a lifestyle change by eating everyday foods that could be purchased in a grocery store..
Steven started following these suggested protocols and began feeling better in a matter of weeks. The inflammation in the joints started dissipating. After a few months, his arthritic pain stopped spreading and ceased to be a problem. His digestive system started to work correctly; and surprisingly he lost fifty plus pounds of fat rather than muscle which he had lost and regained on diet programs in the past. And, yet, he wasn’t on a diet to lose weight; he wasn’t starving himself. He was eating well and enjoying it; but surprisingly he lost the weight and started feeling much better.
Karen Vereen, Co-Founder
Karen also received benefits by sitting at Steven’s table and eating the foods he was eating. Karen had been slender up until Karen gave birth to their children. Diets Karen had followed hadn’t worked either, because of the yo-yoing affect; and Karen had given up hope of ever having the trim body she once had. But by following the principles of this novel menu-planning technique, Karen was able to not only lose her extra weight without having to count calories but she wasn’t bored with her new food choices while, at the same time, feeling better than she had for years. Both Steven and Karen have now maintained their ideal weight for over twenty-five years.
“I’ve lived the program for over 25 years and the fact is, I will never go back. I like feeling healthy; I like feeling years younger. Not to mention, I like looking slim and trim and feeling like I can lick the world. I wish I would have known MORE about my body and its relationship to food many years earlier when I was rearing my children. It would have made a big difference in our family’s health and wellbeing, our food budget and our medical costs. Today, our food budget and cost of maintaining our health has gone down dramatically since we discovered the truths taught by NuMoxie. I don’t remember the last time I had a doctor’s visit. It has become Steven’s and my mission to share this message because of the remarkable things we have witnessed in not only ourselves, but in others’ health and wellbeing.” Karen Vereen
