Stephen Adele
is the co-founder and CEO of iSatori,Inc. He was born August 30, 1971 in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina and is an entrepreneur and best-selling author. As a former executive at EAS supplement company, where he ran their international division he spent several years traveling the world, visiting over 55 countries, where he helped to set up foreign partners who would distribute EAS supplements within their countries. He later helped to open up a European distribution center for EAS in Tilburg, Netherlands; and set up foreign manufacturing in Germany.
In 2000, Adele left EAS shortly after North Castle Partners, a private equity firm, bought out the majority ownership of then owner Bill Phillips.
In 2001, Adele incorporated his next business venture, iSatori Global Technologies, a sports nutrition product company. The following year, at American bodybuilding’s premier exposition and tradeshow, the Arnold Classic, iSatori launched its flagship product, a weight loss supplement called Lean System 7®. Adele had enough foresight to see that a controversial weight loss ingredient called ephedrine was going to be banned by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration), and opted not to include it in his weight loss pill. Instead he was the first to introduce a patented ingredient called 7-Keto® DHEA for weight loss. Later he developed another popular supplement called Energize, a pill that provides users feelings of energy for over eight hours without causing heart rate increases. His meal replacement protein, Eat-Smart® became the number one selling “gluten free” product sold within the nation’s largest specialty retailer, GNC.com.
Adele promoted iSatori’s products through self-published nutrition and exercise books, television appearances, and editorial style advertisements. Eventually, this would gain his company’s supplements national distribution in retail stores like GNC, The VitaminShoppe, 7-Eleven, Walmart and online retailers such as amazon.com, drugsture.com, bodybuilding.com, as well as other retailers throughout the U.S. Attaining this level of marquee retail distribution, along with the popularity of his books, put Adele at the forefront of the nutritional supplements as an industry expert and helped him win several awards for his business accomplishments and community service.
