Inge Van Reusel and Serge Wynen Lenssens - Founders of Raw Living

Thursday, 26 November 2009 | Spin-Offs and Start-Ups

Inge Van Reusel and Serge Wynen Lenssens changed their life completely after a severe accident. The Wall Street Journal Europe Future Leadership Institute invited them to portray their continuously growing start-up company specialized in raw food: rawliving.be

We always had a passion for creativity and business in our lives. Although we both had our proper jobs we extensively experimented with network marketing after hours. We always wanted to share our passion for being your own creative director with other people and our first experience in setting up our own business was via network marketing. We learned a lot about communication and other business skills by this experience.

We are a couple who met 12 years ago and we have the creative virus in our veins. Serge graduated as an interior architect and I as a graphic designer. We still use these skills in our own home and business en help other people being creative in an ecological manner.

We had our typical live as two working people. We went out a lot. But 7 years ago on New Year's Eve we had a severe accident that changed our lives forever. Serge wasn't hurt too badly but I had a chest fracture that did not seem to go away. We tried medical and psychological assistance but nothing made me feel better. Still young I could not bear the thought of having to live with this pain for the rest of my life as that was what the doctors told me.

One day while designing in Photoshop, I was listening to an audio of Anthony Robbins. He was talking about people who had had an accident or severe disease and who were completely healed by using wheat grass juice. That week we went looking in different health food stores for the seeds but the only thing we found were the dried wheat grass powders. I started using the powder and I read a lot about the work of a Dr. Young as was suggested by A. Robbins. We both changed our diet following the recommendations of Dr Young. Within three months after starting this life transformation all my pains disappeared.

We went on refining our diet by the things we read on raw food. We studied intensively for more than a year, we followed courses, and read every book we could find on the subject,... We are still following a lot of courses and reading a lot of books. We are in a constant learning mode.

After changing our diet our life changed automatically. We felt greater and better every day. Our skin got clearer, little discomforts disappeared,... We felt so great that we decided to share this way of live, this amazing feeling, with other people and so we started our own company....

We run our company together. We give seminars, workshops, sell raw foods via ecommerce and we are growing every day. We love meeting people and sharing this wonderful way of life! We are in full expansion: we are installing our own workshop room, we are writing a book,... we want to have our own food label, raw food restaurants and give lectures all over the world, as a family. Living and sharing a dream!
