Digestion, Adrenals, Pancreas, Liver

I am 54 year old wife, mother, and grandmother and I had tried for decades to be in better health. My health challenges began at birth and became worse at age 12 when I could no longer digest dairy, age 16 when I was diagnosed with EBV, and later when I couldn’t digest gluten. I eat clean and I have taken herbs or supplements for many years and still I couldn’t get that level of health that I wanted. To look at me, you would think “she’s fine”, but I knew there was something that kept me from feeling really good like I saw other people feel. I knew I had problems with my liver, my pancreas, my adrenal glands, and my digestive system. However, I didn’t know what system to work on first.

I was searching online for something to help my daughter and I found Derek. I thought he could help her so I looked up his site and read 13 pages of his articles. I could tell that he had the same mindset about health and went about it the same way that I like to tackle health problems.  And I absolutely loved his humour. Yep – he was the guy.

So I signed up for his Revolution program. I followed his diet, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations faithfully, and after about four weeks things started changing that I didn’t even realize were a health problem, like my feet not hurting any longer, when they used to ache all the time. I can now go barefoot around the house all day long and my feet don’t hurt, which tells me a lot of inflammation was eliminated in that short period of time.

Over a period of the 12 weeks, my blood sugar issues went down substantially, my ability to deal with stress improved, as well as my digestion, endurance, energy, and hormonal balance.

I would recommend Derek to anyone who is serious and determined. Derek is very knowledgeable and he really hears what you have to say, giving you the best advice that’s just right for you and your situation.

Candidiasis, Fatigue, Digestion, Skin, Hormones, Weight

I have made it to the end of my THRIVE program and I am so happy! Take it from me as a person who ate fast food twice a day; snacks throughout the day; and sweets at night – who had IBS, severe bloating, hormonal issues, body odour, GI issues, nausea, skin dryness, constipation, bad breath, and white coating on tongue – this program WORKS.

At the end of 8 weeks, I’d say that my bloating was down by 60%, my weight was down 15 lbs, body odour was resolved completely, constipation disappeared during the first half of the program, bad breath and coating on tongue improved drastically, and my extreme fatigue has improved and I’m now able to do things on my own that I couldn’t before! I now feel hopeful and capable of reining in all of my health challenges.

Derek definitely showed up each time we talked and even in between calls, to help me. His advice was always timely and professional. I learned so much about how to actually eat the proper way. I feel very confident about my future now and this is a complete transformation to how I felt before working with Derek. Before I had no hope.

If you’re looking for a coach, Derek is really good at what he does! Thank you, Derek, for using your gifts to help other people come out of dark tunnels much like what you have done for yourself! I actually have made great strides in my life while being your client and I am very grateful for that.

Digestive Disease

My son Luke had always had skin issues (eczema), and behavioural problems as a child. Of course, turning to conventional medicine was a waste of my time and I was getting nowhere with his health.

Luke then started developing symptoms where he would have really terrible stomach aches that appeared every other month. It would be so debilitating, he would be out for three days each time. The first time it happened, I took him into the Dr. to see if it was an appendicitis. After that visit of being dismissed and sending me on my way with no answers, I never went back. During this time, Luke became worse. His stomach aches were now accompanied by vomiting in the middle of the night or early morning, multiple times. This again, was happening every other month, and took about three days to recover. He was losing so much weight. His body wasn’t holding on to any nutrients. I was panicked, worried, constantly crying, praying for God to help me find something to help my son.

Then, I was led to you. I spoke with you via zoom through your free program consultation. You gave me five key things I needed to do for Luke and didn’t even pressure me to join the program. You warned me that he’s a teenager and that he would probably do what he wants and make those bad health choices with his friends, but while he was at home with me, I could help heal him. I spoke with Luke about going through the program and he was so tired of suffering, he said, “mom, I’ll do anything!”

We went through the do it yourself program, and because of you Derek, Luke has not had any episodes of whatever was going on in his body since almost 2 years ago. He’s gained a healthy weight, he’s happy and thriving! He’s now 15 and playing football and competing in track and field.

I can’t thank you enough. God has blessed you with a gift to help people like Luke (and their worried mothers) and I am so thankful and blessed. I’m crying as I’m writing this because I am just so thankful.

God Bless You.

J. Prescott (Luke’s Mom)

IBS, Autoimmune, Anxiety, Hormones

Over the last few decades, I’ve been managing health issues such as IBS, autoimmune flare ups, anxiety and hormonal imbalances through diet and exercise. Recently though, I decided I wanted to do more than just manage my symptoms, I wanted to heal them completely.

I’ve been following Derek on social media for almost a decade and always enjoyed learning from the videos he posts and articles he wrote throughout the years. There is a wealth of information on his website and although you can learn so much through his articles, his videos and what he shares on social media, there is nothing quite like learning from him directly. I booked a free consult and during that call I felt confident that Derek would be able to guide me towards my best healthy self.

I decided to make an investment in myself and joined Derek’s Thrive Justice program. After a health questionnaire and our first coaching call, Derek designed a supplement regime to include with the Thrive Academy protocols, that was specifically targeted to my individual health challenges. During our coaching calls, Derek was relatable, personable, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable sharing about my health concerns. I found the recipes in the program easy to follow and quite tasty. I especially love the Superhero smoothie!

Within a couple of weeks of following the program, I saw positive changes to my digestion, overall mood, and my sense of well-being. I slept deeply and felt more rested upon waking. After completing the first month of the program, I noticed that my clothes fit more loosely, and that I had lost 9 pounds. I experienced more clarity of mind and felt a confidence in myself and in my health for the first time in a long while. By the end of the two-month program, I was down a total of 16 pounds and I no longer experienced any IBS issues. Anxieties that plagued me for years, are now calmed and my hormones have come into balance. I feel assured that by continuing to work with the Thrive protocols and tools Derek gave me, that my autoimmune issues will continue to heal well and will no longer be of concern.

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lungs, Digestion

At 74, I started to develop strange symptoms like diarrhea and extreme joint pain. After a few months I began to have severe coughing and developed some sort of skin lump on my forehead. I went to the hopsital a few times, doctors prescribed antibiotics, and every time I told them that I was not getting better, they gave me stronger ones which eventually made me so weak I needed oxygen to move around the house.

After 3 months of struggling with extreme cough, non-stop runny nose, lack of appetite, and digestive issues, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis with rare impact on my lung. I started strong anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants.

Fortunately, my daughter was referred by a friend to check out Derek Henry and his THRIVE program. Within a couple months, my appetite, joint pain, lung capacity, and lump on my forehead improved significantly. My struggle with my sinuses and digestion are also improving. This program has totally changed my perspective and knowledge about food and nutrition. Thanks Derek! Testimonials Disclosure

Pancreas, Digestive System, Liver, Nausea

I had many health issues when I met Derek, the worst being my pancreas, liver, and digestion. I had difficulty digesting food, constant nausea, painful bloating, chronic constipation, and inflammation.

In the beginning of the THRIVE program, lots of cleansing was happening from decades of built up toxicity from prescriptions. After 3 weeks on the specialized nutritional and supplementation plan, I started to really notice my health was improving. My constant nausea went away, my sleep was much better (I got rid of my sleep tablets), and my weird digestive pains and movements started to disappear. Derek was very helpful and his coaching was an important part of me making it through this process, without having to resort to more doctors or prescriptions.

If you are considering whether to take the THRIVE plunge, I advise that you go for it. You will never find anyone who cares and supports you on an individual basis, giving you as much time as you need, as Derek will. Thank you! Testimonials Disclosure

Colitis

After years of struggling with debilitating GI issues, I was finally diagnosed with collagenous colitis 2 years ago.  Giving my symptoms a name did not improve my life, nor did the prescription steroids and medications help the diarrhea, GI pain and constant exhaustion.  I travel a lot for my job and I was considering an early retirement because I was unable to function.

Thankfully, my daughter introduced me to Derek and his THRIVE program.  With his extensive and practical knowledge, he systematically dealt with each issue I was experiencing through education, diet, detoxification and supplementation.  Today I am much healthier and my life is not dictated by my illness.  I now have normal bowel movements, very little GI pain, increased energy, much clearer skin, increased ability to focus (constant brain fog is gone), decreased urgency to urinate (bladder infection gone), and no headaches!

Derek’s guidance and THRIVE plan was a game changer for me and will be knowledge I will have for the rest of my life.  If poor health is ruining your life, do not suffer another day!  Derek can help you. Testimonials Disclosure

Digestive Issues

I recently completed Derek’s Thrive Lifestyle Academy and had a great experience! I initially contacted Derek to help me with ongoing gut issues I’ve had for several years. He helped me not only with this but much more. We reviewed my diet and overall health and wellness objectives. Following his advice, I was able to fine tune my regimen, incorporate key nutrients and supplements that I had been missing, and eliminate certain foods I never realized were problematic. Since beginning this program, my overall gut health and vibrancy have increased dramatically. After working on my nutrition, Derek also helped me with my exercise routine and gave advice on my life and business goals. I appreciated Derek’s guidance and sincere efforts to help me on my journey of health and wellness. He had my best interests in mind and went above and beyond while working with me. I know I’ll be able to go to Derek for guidance for a long time to come! Testimonials Disclosure

Digestive Issues

I have had digestive issues for years. I was suffering extreme bloating, constipation, fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog to name a few issues. I thought I was on track to fixing it myself but I was not getting results. In desperation I knew it was time to get an expert! Derek’s knowledge in pinpointing my health needs based on my symptoms blew me away. Three weeks into the THRIVE program I began to see change. I was losing weight and had more energy. As I progressed the brain fog was only random and my gut issues began to improve. By the end of the program my body had changed. I looked healthier, felt like a new person, and even my skin was glowing. The wealth of knowledge I’ve learned in 8 weeks from Derek is priceless to my ongoing health. It is not hard to fix our health issues IF you have the right coach who TRULY can deliver results. I am feeling the best I have in 5 long years. Thank you Derek! Testimonials Disclosure

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.
