A brief bio of Veggie Brothers
In 1999, Veggie Brothers Founder, Michael Balducci, suffered from numerous illnesses, experienced fatigue and pain daily, and needed a solution. He recognized the need to change his diet and improve his health to create a permanent lifestyle change that would serve him well. However, he was frustrated with the taste of meatless prepared foods found in supermarkets and resorted to learning to cook dishes that were bland, boring and not enjoyed by others he knew.
He reclaimed his health through a yearlong educational program taught by Dr. Gary Null, PhD, which taught him about holistic health and nutrition, how to cleanse, rebuild and rejuvenate the body, how to de-stress, how to eliminate destructive habits and incorporate healthy ones, and other holistic healing concepts and modalities. Establishing a new diet, a new lifestyle, a new and more sustainable way of living, he even lost 25 pounds in the first three months.
It was a whole new world for Michael, especially coming from a blue collar Italian American family from Queens, New York, where words like vegan, organic, holistic health, fiber and meditation were not part of everyday vocabulary. Unhealthy animal-based products were part of every meal, along with other bad eating and non-sustainable lifestyle habits.
He was so amazed by what he learned and how much it helped him and others in the program that he yearned for more knowledge. This led him to the famed Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC, where such distinguished current faculty members include Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Andrew Weil. Michael completed a Certificate Program in Plant Based Nutrition from The T. Colin Campbell Foundation in association with Cornell.
There was only one problem. His taste buds continued to suffer with his new vegan diet, albeit a healthy one. He longed for the familiar dishes he grew up eating and wanted to share them once again with the people around him – but without compromising his commitment to his healthy lifestyle. He had a vision to help people enjoyably transition into a healthier and sustainable plant-based diet. Eager to give people lots of variety, he sought the most brilliant vegan chefs and the greatest recipes he knew everyone would enjoy, regardless of whether they were vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, omnivore or carnivore.
Since 2005, Veggie Brothers has been providing people with a fun, pleasurable and guiltless experience of enjoying their favorite tasty meals without having to give up their values, tradition. And even more importantly, without disrupting the flow of their work and family lives. A plant-based protein diet from Veggie Brothers is an experience in guilt-free healthful eating with a wide variety of your favorite meals… but meatless! Come enjoy the home food delivery experience.
