Chronic Sinus Infections, Mold Exposure, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Silent Reflux

“I have been dealing with illness for such a long time that by the time I found THRIVE Academy I had pretty much given up hope of ever feeling better.  I had chronic sinus infections, mold exposure, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and LPR / silent reflux and while I had resolved a couple of those, my immune system was still weak and my energy was still low.  I was catching everything that I was exposed to and had started to think I should just accept the idea that perhaps I would not get better after all,  and that maybe I would, in fact, catch something one day and not recover.

One day I saw a video with Derek and my interest was piqued so I checked out his site. I looked around and read all the testimonials and found two that really sounded like me and had completely recovered.  Wow!  Was there a possibility that that could be me, too?  I didn’t really think so but there was still that human drive inside me that pushed me to keep trying.  After sharing with my husband and giving it some thought I decided to go ahead.

After the first 10 days of the program my energy was much better.  Also, and this surprised me, it felt like my brain came out of a fog that I didn’t know I had.  More striking was that not only did my brain wake up but my emotions did, too.  And despite some bumps, my immune system is stronger and I don’t seem to catch everything that is floating around, either — wow and finally!

But here’s the craziest, most unexpected thing that happened:  my husband has been suffering from mold exposure, which has affected his cognition and energy. He decided on his own to follow the diet with me.  After a few days,  both his energy and cognition did just about a complete 180-degree turnaround.   It was hard to believe.  He was up and around, busy and more talkative.  What had had me tearing my hair out now seemed to have been resolved in a matter of days, and that because of easy-to-make changes to his diet.  This experience makes the program solid gold!

I love the food I cam now can see that the right food heals just like I had always heard.  I now understand what a nutrient dense diet looks like.  I don’t plan on ever changing my diet very much;  even after I am better I will still use the principles and the foods and supplements that have helped me as I know that they will keep me well!

Working with Derek and his THRIVE Justice program has been one of the best decisions, best investments that I have made and I would easily do it again.  I highly recommend it.”

Acid Reflux, Stomach Pain, IBS, Rashes

When I first came to Derek for help, I’d have to say I was very frustrated.  I thought I lived a healthy lifestyle and ate well compared to my friends, and even my family. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an infection in my gut that created many different symptoms, including indigestion, hot rashes, excessive belching, flatulence, upset stomach, bloating, and heartburn.

Visits to the hospital and the doctor’s office yielded more questions than answers. When physicians can’t explain what’s going on in your gut, they just diagnose you with irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, and here are some heavy duty acid reducing pills you can take for the rest your life.

I reached out to Derek thinking at the very least I can get myself a little more educated on the inner workings of my gut. There is so much information, and misinformation (unfortunately) on the Internet, it’s almost impossible for someone to navigate what could be going on and what you need to do to address issues with your gut. Well, unless you want to spend the next three years on the internet reading medical journals, some of which are like trying to interpret hieroglyphics.

That’s where Derek was extremely helpful, helping to decode what might be going on, what I might be eating that was contributing to additional issues, and getting me a game plan to reset my health. I was 100% committed to the plan.

After three months, I can tell you my symptoms have been reduced by about 90%, and I now feel as close to normal as I was before I started having digestive issues. Derek doesn’t tell you what you want to hear, he tells you things you need to hear, and if you’re willing to learn and stick to his plan, it will change your lifestyle for good.  Once you know what it feels like to be in great health, you’ll be so appreciative of the THRIVE Academy and will love your new lifestyle. I know my cravings for crap and junk food have been reduced to a level I never thought possible!  

A great program for those who truly want to recover from chronic health issues, and THRIVE!

Digestive, Weight, Acid Reflux, Pancreas, Eczema, Fatigue, Migraine, and Body Pain Issues

Over the last 10+ years I have consulted with and spent thousands of dollars on doctors and specialist seeking help with numerous health issues such as weight gain and weight loss resistance, digestive issues, GERD, acid reflux, heartburn, pancreatitis, rosacea, skin itching, fatigue, migraines and all over body pain among other issues. I never received help that resulted in any level of healing. After a short period of time on the THRIVE Health Program, my heartburn, acid reflux and GERD were all gone and I was able to eliminate the 4 daily medications I was taking for the issue. Not long after that, my rosacea cleared up and today I have clear, normal skin. Derek has also been able to help me significantly reduce pancreas attacks, and has given me natural protocols to over come UTI’s, migraines, and oral health issues. I am so grateful for the many positive results I’ve experienced so far.

Acid Reflux (GERD)

I was diagnosed with acid reflux (GERD) disease, and lost about 45lbs to 50lbs in one month. My doctor put me on Nexium to control the acid reflux, but the medicine is not a cure, and it started creating more acid. Just about everything I ate gave me an reaction. In search of answers, I found a website called Healing The Body and the THRIVE Health Program. A few weeks after talking with Derek and getting on the program, I am no longer on the medication my doctor prescribed, and I feel like my old self before the GERD. Thanks Derek! Testimonial disclosure
