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.

Parkinson’s, Hypothyroid, Autoimmune, Endometriosis, Psoriasis

I was blessed to work with Derek for the 12-week THRIVE Revolution holistic health program. Thankfully, I had been following Derek for years prior to making the decision to work with him directly. In that time my health had traveled an intense rollercoaster of health issues, both autoimmune and chronic.

Working with Derek was like having my wise older brother take me under his wing and share with me what he had learned through his trials in life. I came in with a laundry list of symptoms, most of all fatigue, pain, and sleep issues. My list of maladies is long, but the ones that impact my life the most are hypothyroidism, Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease, psoriasis, and endometriosis. I also struggled with an inflamed gallbladder.

Derek thoughtfully shared life-changing information with me in bite-sized bits strategically timed throughout the program. This empowered me to do the hard work of implementing the necessary lifestyle changes, specific to my personal needs, that I needed to truly thrive in my day-to-day life.

It wasn’t long, and I was seeing big changes. My muscle stiffness had greatly decreased making it easier to walk, and it wasn’t long before I was running across the yard to do a chore. I’ll never forget that day. I cannot tell you how long it had been since I had run anywhere for any reason before that moment. I can even walk barefoot now, which is amazing. I have been wearing shoes or supportive slippers all the time due to foot pain for years now. I cannot tell you how amazing it feels to walk barefoot in the grass after so long of not being able to do so.

Though my chronic and autoimmune illnesses are not completely resolved at this time, my quality of life has been dramatically improved. It took 50 years to get my body to this level of dis-ease. So, I don’t expect to cure everything in a mere 12 weeks. However, I have gotten remarkable results in that time.

The reduction in pain and the increase in ease of movement, coupled with the additional 30-pound weight loss, is a priceless gift. My kind of side effect! In addition, I have improved sleep, going from nine hours per night and always tired to seven hours per night and the energy needed to face the day. Brain fog is a rarity anymore, bathroom urgency is basically a thing of the past, my gallbladder is no longer inflamed, and I don’t have to worry about canceling plans due to “off days” anymore. Plus, I now have the knowledge and resources I need to continue to nourish and support my mind and body as I continue this healing journey. It is truly a beautiful thing!

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, Energy, Skin, Hair, and Nail Issues

I was experiencing very chronic GI issues that were severely impacting my life (both physically and emotionally). I had been seeing a variety of doctors with no answers or ability to help my symptoms.  Enter the THRIVE Health Program and my life was immeasurably changed for the better.  After two months on his program and learning how to REALLY eat for my health, I am a completely different person.  Not only did I see impacts to my energy (through the roof), my skin, hair and nails (so much healthier), my GI issues have almost all subsided and I feel like I have my life back again (priceless).This is a game changer.  For anyone suffering with any health woes, Derek is your guy.  His plans are informative, supportive and it’s something you can maintain after the 8 weeks. Thanks Derek – you rock! Testimonial disclosure

Weight, Skin, and Hair Issues 

When I was having some health problems my friend referred me to Derek Henry. After following his THRIVE Health Program, I started feeling better and better every day. In addition, I lost 15 pounds in 8 weeks.  I have lost all cravings for junk food. My hair and skin looks better. I have more energy throughout the day. Thanks Derek! You made a huge difference in my life! Testimonial disclosure

Digestive, Brain Fog, Sleep, Weight, Skin, and Energy Issues

When I started the THRIVE Health Program, I was not sure exactly what the program was but I was confident that I had chosen the right coach. I began to see results immediately as I have NEVER been regular, and I started to have a daily bowel movement. In a week or so I started sleeping better. My memory started improving and I am quicker in my thought processes, I have a lot less brain fog and am functioning better at work. My skin is much clearer and I have very few breakouts now. I have slimmed down a bit losing about 6 lbs and am craving less sugar. I have passed 2 parasites. I have more energy AND I have gone from 31% body fat to 27.5% (regular exercise wasn’t making a difference). My husband has also lost 12 lbs and my 14 year old son is also regular for the first time since he was a toddler. Thanks Derek! Testimonial disclosure

IBS, Stomach, Autoimmune, Hormonal, Skin, and Hair Issues

In my 20’s, I was diagnosed with IBS. I experienced frequent bouts of rectal bleeding, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, chronic sinus infections, allergies, back and neck pain etc. I found some relief through various natural healing modalites such as herbs, nutrition, acupuncture, massage, rolfing, reiki, Ayurvedic medicine, colonics, etc. During these 10 years, I spent at minimum $2-4K/year managing these issues. Years later, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, which spurred engagement in even more progressive (& expensive) therapies. Thus began a 7-year journey to recover from this autoimmune condition and the deterioration of many of my major bodily systems. I lost over 10% of my body weight. I struggled with chronic fatigue, light-headedness, weakness, muscle cramping, extreme numbing of limbs, spells of difficulty in walking or standing, arthritic pain in most joints, digestive issues & rectal bleeding (most of my life), major hormonal imbalances, excessive hair loss, skin elasticity loss, dry chaffed skin, extreme toxicity of multiple heavy metals, and headaches for first time in my life. In the short 2 months of the THRIVE Health Program, my breakthroughs far exceeded anything I had experienced in the 7 years prior. I would say over half of my standing issues have resolved. I went from one loose bowel movement/day to 2-4 formed stools per day. I no longer require 9-11 hours of sleep but feel great on 7-8, and even 5 on occasion. My energy levels are strong and steady. And, my hair that had started to knot and dread due to intense dryness in less than a day from a fresh wash, is again shiny, manageable after a week from a fresh wash. My over-all skin, which has been plagued by lost elasticity and dryness has improved the month following the program. My facial skin is also more vibrant, slightly rosy cheeks are developing, and color patches are evening out. Derek’s THRIVE program is quite incredible, and it works! Testimonial disclosure
