I was going through a tough time and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I was feeling worse than ever. I was dizzy, tired, bloated…..I had problems concentrating, focusing and I was putting on weight pretty fast. At that point I decided to work on what I could to feel better and looked for people that would help me. I found a doctor to treat my condition and I found Thrive through a friend. From then on, I started to feel better.The medicine controlled my condition and the new way of eating improved my health and energy. The Functional Evaluation revealed my deficiencies and the nutrition plan Maureen designed showed me how to correct them. With the diet changes and supplements I had my levels nearly back to normal in around seven months and I could feel it. My energy was back, my headaches were practically gone and my weight slowly started to go down. Now, after more than a year, I feel good. I have learned to pay more attention to what I eat and how I prepare it in order to get more nutrients from it. I rediscovered the goodness of raw food, fruits and veggies, good fats and nuts. I am a believer in “you are what you eat” because I know that all the changes I made are responsible for how I feel now. My family has joined me in eating healthy and not only benefit from it, but enjoy it. I am grateful to Maureen and Thrive.
