Our Founder
Steve J. Flipse
President & Founder
“Aging is quite a complicated process where body systems begin to have functional problems and damage to cells and tissues starts to occur. Research shows that dietary changes and focus on important nutrients can make a major difference in helping one to live a long and healthy life. Genetics is a factor, but there are many other causes for the development of early health conditions.”
Steve J. Flipse
President & Founder
CalerieLife founder Mr. Flipse, a United States Air Force veteran (BioEnvironmental), has worked tirelessly to unlock the cell-renewing properties of specialized natural ingredients through careful research and manufacturing technology. With 20 years of experience in the dietary supplement industry, Mr. Flipse possesses strong market and commercial awareness.
After 20 years of working with the biggest brands, manufacturers, and distributors in the industry, Mr. Flipse understands the importance of vertical integration. This is why from raw material to finished manufactured goods, including the intellectual property involved, CalerieLife owns its supply chain in its entirety. Backed by science, he scours white papers and lab analytics to introduce new and novel therapeutics such as mimetics, hope molecules, and longevity genes.
With a common goal to promote change and impact, Mr. Flipse chose to position CalerieLife as a vertically integrated company in the industry. As he sees it, “CalerieLife is the perfect marriage of the two things I love most: natural health and entrepreneurship.”
In an era surrounded by uncertainty, social selling and the ability to work from home are paramount. In the new economy where corporations run more efficiently than ever and require fewer employees, we’ve witnessed a massive shift in the economy and more furloughed jobs than at any point in history. Mr. Flipse promises to create high-quality, high-impact products that help improve individual health and overall well-being while creating an opportunity where the average person can achieve financial stability as a Brand Partner marketing CalerieLife Products!
