I have personally been on these products 7 years. The health benefits are fantastic and much improved for me. My Dr. is pleasantly surprised with all my values and improvement. I feel 15 years younger.
I agree! My fibromyalgia, Lupus, ADHD, Autism, CPTSD, my gut health and A1C is under control, off of all my pharmaceutical meds and I can live a stress free life now! Plus I have lost tons of weight, I only do the capsules too! I have been a Thriver for almost 5 years. Thank you Thrive for saving my life! Without it I’d be going to so many Dr appointments and filling my body with meds for my DX then take meds because of the meds causing reactions. Thrive for life!
@@sammiedean1126 same I can't take Ritalin because of side effects and this is almost 90% like Ritalin. Helps with depression, anxiety, ptsd but I still get side effects from it just not as bad as Ritalin. Bit worried about what the Dr said about liver problems. It's all very well to say eat healthy but I do all that plus exercise plus drink lots of water, meditation etc but all this still doesnt do anything for my mental health, wish it did.
I just started the Thrive experience and I am very impressed! I think the list of ingredients is wonderful and I have a great understanding of natural supplements. I even wanted to buy my own health food store with supplements. So they are fabulous in it and I could tell the difference right away. I have a lot of energy and I forgot to take my pain medicine which I normally have to take first thing in the morning. Plus I'm in a much better mood! I was skeptical at first but now I'm sold! I don't care for the high-pressure tactics from my promoter though. She's very pushy. Warning to start out as a customer and block whoever calls you. Investigate it on your own.
I have been on these products for 3 years and all 3 of my doctors my PCP, Psychiatrist, neurologist and nutritionist are blown away with how healthy, aging backwards, improved mental health, motivation and I’m also a chronic pain patient and no longer am on pain management. No supplements are FDA approved and I’m Not saying it cures diseases or should replace medication always consult your doctor. Also remember this video is 3 years old and Le-Vel is the #1 health and wellness company. Thrive has improved my quality of life and I love it and swear by it and so do my Doctors!
@@amandawhitworth5445 I recomemd the thrive classic if you don’t have major weight loss goals!!! And definitely choose the BLACK OR WHITE LABEL patch it will change your life. Especially for mental health and health challenges! I use the mens capsules because they have 10mg more of all natural caffeine! Salted caramel and snickerdoodle shakes are AMAZING .. if you do have weight loss goals get the thrive Elite and select the duo burn elite patch instead of the regular elite Patch I promise you’ll fall IN LOVE
I have been taking thrive. I went from hardly being able to physically get out of bed to no inflammation at all. I have sciatica, deteriorating disk disease, spinal stenosis. So from a daily pain level of 7 or higher to somebody's a pain level of 1. I am usually extremely fatigued before 1pm to making it thru a full day of work and studying and college classes and maintain president's list. My weight is being managed. I researched every thing in thrive before I started taking it. And underst and why each ingredient is in there. It has been a huge help because I was 1 step away from going to disability! I couldn't even hardly stand up or sit down from limitation on my ROM and pain. Worth every penny I spend on this supplement program.
Interesting. I can honestly say. I suffered from many health issues prior to taking thrive. The 3 step program. I went from taking 7 medications. Now I take none. I was 185lbs prior to starting them. Now I’m 155lbs. I can also say I was often fatigue and unmotivated. I now have energy, motivation and a lot more patience with my child. My skin looks way better and I feel 10xs better. I actually go to the gym and get way more done in a day. The amount of caffeine I get from taking 1 capsule, half of shake and a patch is less then a cup of coffee. Majority of Americans do not get proper nutrition. I feel like this worked for me bc these supplements. Did fill my body’s nutritional gaps. I feel healthy now 😊 Just my 2 cents.
Yeah I’m no longer with thrive I’m now on happy juice this is just totally different it’s for your mental and I haven’t felt better thrive don’t have ish on this plus the price is so so so much better lol
I feel great when I take it and it's the only supplement I have come back to over and over the past 10 yrs. It works for me. It's nice to hear others go over it. Thanks!
I've been on it 3 years my Dr approved it and I have hypothyroid and it's been the only product that has helped with mental clarity, energy, even lost 30 pounds!
I have hypothyroidism also and my doctor said no ti this immediately. She worked out a diet plan for me and I started exercising and lost 50 pounds. The best part I'm not spending 250.00 a month for these supplements.
I love this product / took it for 4 years and did not get sick until I stopped due to financial issues in 2022. My energy disappeared, my blood sugars escalated I got COVID 3 times and by the end of 2023 I got RSV and influenza together. I thought i was going to die. Now I live to tell.. I’m now back in my THRIVE. Just in two days I’m feeling great! Brain fog at work disappeared, my appetite has decreased and I had a sex drive last night I have not felt in a 18 months or longer. More to come. Don’t listen try for yourself, it will not kill you just make you feel great again.. ❤
Do your own research. She is breaking these down based on her opinion and picking and choosing what she wants to target. She leaves out the good stuff and tries to break down what confuses her. Let me whip out my book of research that includes each one broken down. Also, between TWO capsules, there is 1600 mcg of iron. This is PLENTY. Forslean is natural. This girls a bust
All the ingredients are listed on each package and online. There's plenty of educational material available. This woman is very biased! I don't care for her attitude rather prescribe medication. I have some but I don't need to take anymore because it's already contained in Thrive but it's all natural!
Very Informative! In hindsight, each individuals have to do their own research and know what their bodies need and how they react to certain supplements, just how you would go and find vitamins at the drug store ! Because I know many people are hyper sensitive to certain products especially when mixed with multiple supplements! I take thrive and it’s not a magic pill , you definitely have to put in the work so it can go hand and hand to see optimal results just as you would work out and eat healthy ! Been thriving for 6 months and it’s been a life changer for me personally !I Also have to do my part to make that lifestyle change a better transition! But again it’s NOT for everyone !Do what’s right for you and your body 👌🏽
I have been taking Thrive for 10 years! I have never felt healthier! Unless someone is taking it they cannot say anything about it to be honest. The Vitamins are amazing! My PCP approved my Thrive vitamin as SAFE to take! Caffeine isn't always bad for you either! Studies have found caffeine can do both good and harm. American Heart Association states people who regularly drink coffee may be less likely to develop chronic illnesses. Drinking coffee-particularly two to three cups a day-is not only associated with a lower risk of heart disease and dangerous heart rhythms but also with living longer, according to studies being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session. 2-3 cups of Coffee has way more caffeine than 2 caps of Thrive vitamins! Of course, inquire with your doctor if you have health risk or concerns before taking ANY supplements, not just taking "THRIVE" vitamins. Also, I suffer migraines- because of the caffeine in THRIVE It knocks it out almost instantly. I don't drink coffee or other caffeinated drinks so caffeine I get from thrive is enough for me. I take one Thrive capsule in the morning and one in the afternoon. I NEVER take both together. I drink the shakes periodically, not everyday and I don't really use the patches. FYI I am not sell THRIVE ! I am the customer! 10 years! Thank You Le-VEL! www.acc.org/About-ACC/Press-Releases/2022/03/23/17/55/Good-News-for-Coffee-Lovers-Daily-Coffee-May-Benefit-the-Heart www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/9-reasons-why-the-right-amount-of-coffee-is-good-for-you
She’s NOT a doctor!! She, as a dietitian, markets her OWN products. Lots of false information here. If her products worked, she wouldn’t have to discredit others. Think about that.
Know that someone who’s never tried it to talk about it lacks knowledge and stands behind only FDA chemically laced products. As an RN I suffered from many health issues prior to taking thrive, The 3 step program. I went from taking 7 medications. Now I take none. I can also say I was very fatigued from cortisol fluctuations from copious amounts of coffee and stimulants (FDA) and unmotivated. I now have energy, motivation and a lot more patience with my children. My skin looks way better and I feel & look 20 years younger /better. I actually go to the gym and get way more done in a day. Overall positive vibes and happy days are what I experience now since 2014.
Or you could stop paying 230.00 a month for vitamins you really don't need. You said you go to the gym keep exercising and eating right and stop paying for this stuff it's not worth it. I lost 50 pounds AFTER I stopped taking this. My doctor recommended that I not take it.
I know what forselin is. I also know very few gastrointestinal docs that don’t push prescription medications…taken daily…..and excuse me are we talking OVER PROCESSED. I would like to know about this GI doc’s nutritional education. Surprising she’s so willing to continue the game that’s played here in the United States, of watching Big Pharma & the Medical field pushing prescription meds with a FAR WORSE PROFILE.
Opinions are opinions. I personally just started it and for like 3 years now I have tried to eat healthy, diet and exercise. I am a single mom of 5 who works 2 jobs and had NO energy. I was a worse mom because of this. Since starting Thrive I have been getting up super early to start my day and staying awake until I decide to go to bed, I am able to be more active with my children and accomplish many tasks and WANT to exercise. The best part my appetite immediately changed. Even with chips, pop (I was addicted to pepsi and drank like 6 a day), chocolate and quick dinner meals in my house... I DO NOT WANT ANY OF IT! Today I made my kids hot dogs and decided that even though my body was telling me it did not want them I was going to eat one anyhow and the hot dogs made me feel gross. I will not be eating anything like that again. SO those who are not able to make lifestyle changes easily and stick with them, this is an AMAZING product. I FEEL GREAT and it was the best choice I ever made for myself and my family! It is not a lose weight quick pill. It is not magic. It supports a lifestyle change!
I think if we fast, eat fruits ,veggies ,drink water , and follow the guidelines according to the Bible , we can get all of our bodies needs. Excersize and make smart choices. It’s really common sense and we all know what to do, just become complacent in sedentary lifestyles.
Agreed. This helped a lot Jumpstart to that. Being a supplement, it is only meant to add to or help. Some only do the 8 weeks to find the motivation to get up off the couch and quit craving the junk
So agree with you! People don't actually need these...a diet change and walking every single day and you will fill tons better. It won't be quick, which is what most people want, but it is sustainable long term. I have IBS-D, lower end of high blood pressure and cholesterol (bad LDL), plus I frequently get colon polyps that have to be removed. Just by changing my diet and eating less processed foods, giving up added sugar and sodium, eating more fruits and veggies, fish and chicken, and less red meat, less gluten and I felt tons better and lost weight. I was also up to walking 10 miles a day. It was not easy, but it gets easier every day once you start. You just gotta take that first step! I recently broke my pinky toe so I've back slid, but I'm ready to get back out there walking and eating healthier again. At the end of the day, no fad product is going to work long term. People are just throwing away their money for a quick fix and to continue being lazy...and I'm the "queen" of laziness so I know.
Amino Acids are so important for people, especially folks who suffer from poor circulation, women probably need this more bc of what we tend to lose through our cycles, life after surviving a stroke.
Dr T, I was on that diet twice, and gave it up. First time I lost 25 lbs, sugar levels dropped to normal on metformin and glypicide. went off the diet after four months, sugars went up. Weight gain back ten pounds. Then a year later I tried it again for three months, sugars went down, lost 20 lbs and went off the diet. Re gained the weight, and balaned out at 230 lbs. I had an overall weight loss of about 12 lbs, but my glucose has been hard to maintain. Now Im on metformin, glypicide, and trying jardiance. Im 67, weight train twice maybe three times a week, and still trying to make goals. It aint easy. But why do you suppose I lost weight and had good glucose on that thrive diet? Ive tried to duplicate it several times over the last three years, and cant figure it out. I take all of those supplements as they had on their product, I dont get it.
So expensive as well.Its beneficial to the people selling it.They may very well lose weight.Due to being more aware of diet,having more energy from all the "natural " caffeine. Please people do your own research before buying into any weight loss product.
Thank you! I almost fell for this because my granddaughter’s aunt, whose 20 ish, keeps trying to sell me this. I’m 59, type 2 diabetic and the Mediterranean/Blue Zone way of eating has been a life saver for me! My labs are very much improved and my A1C is just shy of normal.
I see alot of people talking about how they've been on it for awhile and how great it makes them feel and also some being angry when you speak ill of it... speaking from experience it's basically a drug made of caffeine and no one can change my mind
@@wilmalutzwhitty6407 totally can respect that. Not sure why people are being rude. Personally, it sounds like a total pyramid scheme but I can appreciate that that was your experience and it worked for you. Especially since not all human bodies are the same and it would make sense that we all shouldn't have the same formula for being healthy.
I cant take this stuff. I tried half a shake 1 time and thought i was going to die. Shaky, heart racing, disoriented, sweating. I tried half a patch today and again the same reaction but it obviously came on very fast given the way it is taken into the blood stream vs the stomach like the shake. The arm that the patch was on felt very heavy and weird and the feeling moved up and into my throat. I ripped it off after only 30 mins. Thus stuff us not safe for everyone. Not everyone can take this and the full dose. So many say oh you took it wrong or it was detox or whatever else they can come up with. Everyone isnt the same and it effects everyone different. Plz be careful when taking this and dont start with the full dose. I cant imagine if i had take all 3 steps what would if happened. 😥
I do take it because am on thyroid meds and am basically a very tired person with or without thrive. It gets me awake but I only take 1 capsule, patch sometimes, and 1/2 shake so I don’t gets all jittery . I realize it has plant caffeine in it but if I didn’t take this I’d drink coffee all day so what’s the difference. One thing you do not want coffee if you take this. I never crave it anymore.
@@stephanieharding7055 I was just fixing to say that. Cutting a patch in half does not give you half the benifit or effect. Cutting patches in half actually can cause you to get a rush of those ingredients at once.
You didn't take it wrong it has so many stimulants in it that your body was sensitive those stimulants. Eat right drink water try to exercise and you will feel way better than this stuff does not to mention its so expensive
Thrive has literally changed my life!! I feel amazing, my doctor sees by my blood test that I’m so much healthier!!! I’m thinking you’re a competitor, selling your own products. That’s my opinion.
@@user-AllieG12345I see rhe Thrivers are out in full force in the comment sectiin. I eat right exerciseand lost 50 pounds. The best part Im not spending 230. 00 a month to feel amazing
That was one thing that did not make sense to me when I was thinking of trying it.... It's got a ton of caffeine and other stimulants but people think they are being "healthy" because they aren't drinking coffee anymore or energy drinks.. ummm. Sorry but yes, you are. If you're taking thrive then you're still doing all of that just in another form.
I was going to consider it since my sister lost so much weight, but I am glad I found out about the white willow bark ingredient. I'm highly allergic to ibuprofen and I don't want to spend so much money on something to just be allergic to it
@NightAI Thank you for your comment! I would say that no one needs Thrive. People were loosing weight long before this product ever existed. You probably already know what changes you need to make so go forward with confidence!
As someone who used to take this thank you for you opinion. I gained weight taking these. It’s very hard to trust something that requires you to recruit as many people as possible to purchase and “sign up” under you
Actually, you can gain weight on it if you don’t eat your best it isn’t a weight loss supplement. It is just a lifestyle change but now there is thrive elite that one is for weight loss maybe that’s why you gained weight boo
Hi Kirks, if there is a concern that you aren't digesting food well, then I would suggest seeing a gastroenterologist. I wouldn't want you to have an undiagnosed condition that could be better treated with other therapy.
@@TawnyaHansenMDMSc Well Thrive would give me a good elimination in about 30 minutes after I take it. I could take it early and eliminate and start my day feeling energized and fresh. Normally it comes around 10-11am. It's much easier to take care of business before leaving home. There was a energy boost with thrive but not much.
Super informative thank you! I know you said you wouldn't recommend the product, but would you go as far as to say that it's unbeneficial or damaging to take as a relatively healthy adult based on the ingredients?
In my opinion, it is not beneficial and does carry the potential to do harm. The company charges you for a product that you absolutely do not need to lose weight or live a healthier life. Any supplement or medication that you take has the potential for side effects (i.e. liver damage, GI upset, etc). However, the overall risk is generally low. Overall, I think it’s best to limit the number of unnecessary chemicals that we place in our bodies. We also can’t tell what these chemicals are doing to our gut microbiome. Getting enough sleep, managing stress, taking care of your mental health, exercising, and consuming whole foods are always going to get you to where you want to be. Unfortunately, there are many ‘health gurus’ who are paid to push “must-have” products in fancy packaging. At the end of day, curiosity might drive some experimentation, which is totally fine. I just want people to be empowered with information so that they can make the most informed choices possible. I hope that was helpful!!
I’m laughing at all the comments saying how they’re no longer interested because of this video. How many of you smoke cigarettes? Drink alcohol etc. and you’re worried what a health supplement contains? 😅😅
I haven’t read the comments, but I came here looking for a review, because I was considering buying it. It is not a cheap product is about 200 dollars monthly. In my case I will look for others way to get my supplements that are better for my body and budget
Sounds like it would help 🎉!.. I actually am using it and it is working great for me. I don’t always get to eat healthy and this is helping focus on healthy eating habits ..perfect plan for me and a bunch of others I know. ❤
Are you kidding me she was just reviewing the ingredients. Not to mention you are spending around 250.00 a month for this when you could buy a multi vitamin that would cost you around 11.00 every 2 months and they have more vitamins in then than Thrive.
A couple issues here..1 it's an opinion. Not all doctors are good and or well educated. I have several doctors for my GI issue..2 belive cannabis is great for certain things while the 3rd thinks it should be banned. That's not science. 2. I take a ppi and since I've started thrive I've cut my medications in half and sometimes don't even use them. I used to have cyclical vomiting...gone. gerd...rarely an issue. Build up of stomach acids...gone. all in conjunction with a better diet and exercise I'm feeling better than ever. 3. This isn't for everyone but they have something for most. And a lot of people reviewing this claim it as a miracle pill. It's not. You can't just take it and expect results.
Not worth the 250.00 a month price tag you can get better vitamins and shakes that have more vitamind and no stimulants and will cost you a fraction of the price.
Thank you for that. I’ve never been near Thrive products, but always wondered what was in them to keep people raving about them. I did suspect caffein.
I don't like having caffeine and don't drink coffee. But these products give you more of a clean type of energy. You can modify your program and it also comes in caffeine-free.
I keep seeing people say its 250 a month. You can get a discount code , so its like 120 for a month supply. I see more positice comments than negative.
Does maltodextrin turn into sugar in the body? No, maltodextrin isn't a sugar although it behaves in a similar way sugar does when it comes to impacting our blood sugar levels. It happens to be a sugar substitute, with a much higher GI value than table sugar.
Definitely ask your trusted medical professional. In general, I would avoid trying new supplements or medications during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary.
It isn't a replacement for food.. it is a supplement. Most doctors don't understand supplements. Ask your pharmacist. Still better than RedBull, Monster or 3 cups of coffee. It is a slow release of natural caffeine.
Lol and caffeine isn't supplemented just for energy...has fat burning qualities and appetite suppression. Also coffee is know to have lots of cockroach poop in it
Chris Watts lost weight very quickly and got into great shape . He could not sleep properly and had a racing heart . He murdered his family because they had a lot of financial problems and his wife controlled his life . He fell in love with his mistress and wanted to start a brand new life and so he had dark thoughts and murdered his family . I am sure that taking stimulants could easily affect one’s hormones and and then affects the functioning of your thoughts .
I was wondering the EXACT same thing regarding Chris Watts. I’ve followed and listened to all his interviews closely. Although Chris never blames Thrive, for what he did, when asked by detectives, he mentions that he was wired all day and only got three hours of sleep. Chris was extremely passive and reserved. He said the patches he first took only had caffeine in them and didn’t do much for him. He said the elite patches had something else that he could definitely feel. He said he would exercise all day long, go to bed really late, and get up on only three hours sleep. He also said he would start to nod off in the middle of a conversation wake up and continue talking right where he left off. When asked by detectives if it changed his personality, he said “no I don’t think so. It just caused me to lose so much sleep and that probably wasn’t good.” I just don’t know as far as Chris Watts is concerned. Hes Just so passive and reserved. Thrive seemed to change how he behaved innately. People get wound up when they are on stimulants. Some more than others. He was almost acting like someone who was on steroids by exercising all day long. You can definitely tell by looking at his body, he was putting on the muscle. It obviously worked as far as giving him energy… But I don’t know what it did to his mind. I’m still curious.
@@natalierozean5989 When a man loses weight especially in a short time, his testosterone increases and oestrogen decrease because oestrogen is stored in fat cells and when fat cells reduce, so does oestrogen . Also , too much caffeine and other stimulants can cause the adrenal glands to produce too much adrenaline and then it can make a person aggressive . Cortisol also increases . How Ik ow all this is that my husband was bad tempered and he had high cortisol , low testosterone and high adrenaline . Chris Watts never had a history of violence when he was overweight and always did things to please people . Anyway he is where he should be for the rest of his life . RIP Shannan and her beautiful angels .
@@natalierozean5989 I’m sorry, but Shanann was my friend and I can tell you right now Chris was on more than just thrive in the patches you’re referring to or not elite we just got elite patches a couple of weeks ago you’re referring to the duel patches which or two that you wear at a time on each side of your body and not to mention, he would stay up all night so he can talk to his mistress he didn’t kill poor Shan or those beautiful babies because of thrive. It was because he was a heartless bastard that wanted to be with his mistress that was also feeding him God knows what that’s why they were having sex all day and night, when they were together, no telling what kind of party drugs they were doing together also heard that.
You say you are a G.I. Doc.. Last I checked AMA did not include nutrition in its accreditation to become a doctor. In watching your video it is full of "your opinions". The entire premise of the Thrive system is to fill the nutritional gaps left by our diets, no mention of that in your video opinion. You speak often about the caffeine content, which thanks you did educate me about a few things there. After 6 yrs if taking and promoting Le-Vel I can say unequivocally it has made my life better, a better husband, father, friend. You fail to mention the vitamin content in the three steps that feeds the body throughout the day. You mention several times in your video the lack of scientific data and study about the products in your video, but fail to speak much about the agency responsible for those reports or lack there of. something being "not" approved by the FDA means little after walking through a grocery store and seeing what the FDA has green lighted as acceptable. FDA greenlighted EUA Covid measures that we haven't even begun to see the damage from. In the 6 yrs of taking these products my health has been inpecable. My last checkup my Dr told my my blood work was quote pristine. 6 yrs is a pretty good study on the effects of a product. My weight is good, cholesterol is good, no diabetes, no problems at all. Funny how doctors differ, I took every single one of these products to my doctor and showed him and asked him, he looked and said no these look GREAT! So differing DOCTORS differing opinions! You don't Thrive, you've never worked for or promoted these products. You're not a nutritionist, you're a GI Doctor, so how's about staying in your lane, if I get IBS, I will respect your training. You're WAY off on this video. Eat right, exercise, get sleep, and Thrive by Le-Vel will elevate you to places you never thought you could go. I promote because I love the products, not because I've gotten rich. They have changed my life and my wife's and we see how many people feel like poop because of the food and lifestyle. We help people change their lifestyle, Thrive helps!
@ZacharyPope Thank you for your comment! I am a Canadian doctor who has fellowship training in gastroenterology. If you would like, you can review the objectives of gastroenterology training here: www.royalcollege.ca/rcsite/documents/ibd/gastroenterology-competencies-e.pdf
Could be that you're just more motivated to be healthy? YOU! It's not the thrive making you feel that. YOU are doing it. And making yourself believe it's this "magical thrive system" that's making you healthy?
@JennyColon Thank you for your comment! This wouldn't be on my list of things to use to address diabetes or borderline sugar readings. There is not enough high quality research evidence to support using it in comparison to other things like diet change.
I haven't had any issues with Thrive...it helps me in the mornings and without it I feel really tired. I think it's fine to take but not for a long period of time, so I take breaks.
OMG you basically just admitted your addiction... without it, you feel tired? well hello and good morning girl... it's addictive, clearly, you are tired because of your addiction to it...
@@DJ-cd6nr Not necessarily. I started using it because I was often feeling exhausted and fatigue. When I have it I'm great. I adjust what product I use and how much of them to fit my bodies needs. Because I've done that, I'm getting exactly what I want the way I want to experience it. If I do go without it, a long period of time, yes I do get fatigue and earn out again. That doesn't indicate addiction. It indicates that it does what I need it to do, which is give me energy. I know nothing about the original commenter but this is my personal experience.
My friend's parents use this stuff and are monthly subscribers. Another friend of mine actually pitched me buying it. A few weeks ago I made a purchase to give it a try, but don't plan on starting to use it til The First of Next month. I've been a little hesitant, because my friend who sold it just gave it heavenly praise that it was "Life Changing", but didn't really answer any real questions about said products. Even after buying it I was warned by my one friend's parents to be near the restroom during the first few days of using it, as it results in The Runs. Then I was told The patch lead to my friend's dad having a panic attack. I'm a bit scared. I have enough to cover their "60-Day challenge", however if I start feeling sick after Day 5, I'll be calling it quits
Idk if your still trying it or already did but id highly recommend you quit if you are I was convinced to try it by my ex mma coach who is a affiliate and I thought it was awful (wich actually has nothing to do with why I can't recommend it) I watched my ex mma coach do there detox challenge and the only way I can describe his condition was similar to withdrawal symptoms
@@68assasin I've used it off & on. The 3 Steps of the Pills, Shake, and Patch seem to work as just a major set of Caffeine directly in your system. As a daily Red Bull drinker, I was looking for an alternative as I started working out. I can say I've dropped around 15 pounds. The whole THIVE thing honestly just got me into new habits that anyone should be doing, More Water & Weekly Exercise. I used to tend to nap mid-day, but wearing the patch kept out of that zone. Overall it's ok, but Damn is it pricey.
Hi Kathryn! No I have not. The focus of the review is to provide some background information on the ingredients listed and to see how the product fits within the framework of what is already known. It is impossible for me to try every supplement as it might cause harm to myself. In a similar fashion, I have not (and cannot) tried every medication that I prescribe. I prescribe medications based on a patient's specific clinical presentation, the clinical courses of the thousands of other patients I have seen, current consensus guidelines and the current evidence in the medical literature. Ultimately, I am just a random person on RUclips and so my own personal experience does not count for much because you don't know my past medical history, what medications I am taking, my baseline bloodwork versus post-supplement bloodwork, etc. If you want to try the supplement, it is completely up to you!
I really appreciate your opinion. Can you do a review on Vasayo products. I really want to understand the science behind their marketed “liposome” technology. Health benefits etc. New Subscriber 😌
@Mrs.Shorty Thank you!! I'll put it on my list of things to review in the next few months. I am a bit behind on videos as all my attention is been on my new baby haha :)
Well I am trying it. I see no results and its been 2 weeks. Yes this product is expensive and really a marketing ploy. I am educated and do practice medicine. After my 2 weeks to go..im done with this product.
So your making a judgement based on ingredients as you read but never have taken it to understand how it works and you probably drink coffee in the morning.
@@lindaaaron5072 .... hey! So I didn't get a response here but I tried Thrive and can give you my personal experience with it. I took the multivitamins, shake and patch for a little over one month before I moved where they didn't ship to. The shake really gives a bolt of energy. I really noticed a difference. As for the patch... well it's controversial because there's no way to measure how much vitamins are really being absorbed into the skin. I think I felt a difference with the patch and the multivitamins. Definitely felt able to work for longer periods of time.... just with the shake I felt amazing energy! now for the cons - ingredients are processed, there's not much difference between male and female - which might not matter to you - umm... oh and very high levels of caffeine in vitamins.... could explain why I was alert ... I did feel calmer and more rational also.... it's pretty expensive.... I wouldn't mind having it as an option but the cost of relying on this daily / monthly could add up fast ... finally the company seems sketchy to be honest. I mean I did get what I ordered.... customer service reps responded quickly - but it's a multi level marketing type of company, so people make commissions off selling to their downline and so forth. I have a link if you want to use me as your referral lol 😆 but to be honest with how expensive this is and how sketchy the company is, I wouldn't rely on this as the absolute only thing. I would go for a more reliable and well known company. One of my fears was if I came to depend on these vitamins and one day the company just stopped offering those vitamins or went out of business.... also while I felt great with the shake .. . What's in it as vitamins is questionable and in the long term could this have negative impacts to your overall health? I'm not sure. Look into it. Hope that helps best of luck on your new sleeve !
And while legumes appear to be healthy...they contain phyic acid..which your a doctor you know lol. So not necessarily a healthy alternative if all you eat is legumes. I guess anything in excess is un healthy
Thank you for your comment! There is a time and place for pharmaceuticals and they are definitely overused in a lot of cases. I'll take sleep over anything else at this point as my 3 month old is keeping me up! Take care!
Hi Wilma, no I have not. The focus of the review is to provide some background information on the ingredients listed and to see how the product fits within the framework of what is already known. It is impossible for me to try every supplement as it might cause harm to myself. In a similar fashion, I have not (and cannot) tried every medication that I prescribe. I prescribe medications based on a patient's specific clinical presentation and the evidence in the medical literature. Ultimately, I am just a random person on RUclips and so my own personal experience does not count for much because you don't know my past medical history, what medications I am taking, my baseline bloodwork versus post-supplement bloodwork, etc. If you want to try the supplement, it is completely up to you!
See a doctor or drink ensure, literally given in hospitals. You can buy it at Walmart. But unless you’re eating nothing but chips or something you are probably fine.
@@dylanoneil2560 No it’s not,not at all. this person could just go to the doctor and eat a healthy diet but since they’re asking on this video I assume they want just drink something else. They gave my mother ensure in the hospital after surgery.
I’m NOT on these products because I just haven’t tried them but I would love to point out that you said you are a doctor and not a nutritionist. Doctors have if ANY, only a very small amount of nutrition education, that is not that field of expertise. So this video is just an opinion and observation of what you learned and know from your schooling. 🤷🏽♀️ Just saying.
@@GetZaaZaaFit thank you for your comment! Yes, we don’t get much nutrition information in medical school. However, my subspecialty is gastroenterology and more specifically inflammatory bowel disease. To complete training, it was mandatory to study nutrition as you can imagine. There are even GIs who specialize in nutrition only. I completely agree that this video is just an opinion! Not medical advice at all - take away what you think is helpful and ignore the whole thing if you didn’t find it helpful!
Why do women need amino acids to combat fatigue? Really? 🤣 Girl everything you're saying sounds insane. Literally you're trying to say the science behind thrive isn't right.
Hi Lina. I would not recommend this as a treatment for high blood pressure or diabetes. Speak with your doctor about treatments. There are many treatments and lifestyle changes that are supported by numerous research studies.
Hi . I just start yesterday my blood pressure was so high 169/ 135 . So today it’s my second day I just take 1 capsules and I drink my maintenance back the regular time . Lest see how it goes . Thank u for your reply
This is funny because she could easily ask how much caffeine is in the entire system… about 60mg. That’s around half a cup of coffee. MDs have minimal nutritional education and she obviously hasn’t tried it and doesn’t know about whole- food sourced nutraceuticals.
Thank you for your comment! It is true that there is minimal nutrition education in medical school. However, there is an entire sub speciality within gastroenterology that is dedicated to clinical nutrition and nutrition research! Take care!
@@TawnyaHansenMDMSc Basic due diligence to find our caffeine amounts might have been prudent before bashing a product. I'm a biohacker and have tried everything under the sun. This works better than any other supplement I've ever tried.
This stuff is expensive 250.00 a month buy One a Day vitamins energy fornula and get a better vitamin for a much lower price. If you need that many stimulants then you should see a doctor. This is a multi level marketing scheme. Save your money and talk to your doctor about better alternatives.

I appreciate your review, but having a doctor talk about a product without actually using it, is like having a counselor treat an addict who has no experience with addiction. Exactly only an opinion. Thousands upon thousands of people have improved or ridden of their ailments because of this product. This is exactly why we say that it needs to be experienced! Anybody can give their medical opinion but without actually field testing it won't be as reliable and accurate
Hi Crystal, thank you for your comment! The focus of the review is to provide some background information on the ingredients listed and to see how the product fits within the framework of what is already known. I can't try every supplement and in the same fashion, I have not (and cannot) tried every medication that I prescribe. I prescribe medications based on a patient's specific clinical presentation, what current consensus guidelines are, the clinical courses of the thousands of other patients I have seen, and what the current evidence in the medical literature is. As you are aware, there are many cases where a physician cannot experience what their patient is experiencing (i.e. male OB who has never been pregnant, giving a pregnant woman advice on what she should and shouldn't be doing during pregnancy or female urologist giving advice on prostate problems). From my perspective, I give advice on many gastrointestinal conditions that I have never experienced. I agree that my opinion is just that. Ultimately, I am just a random person on RUclips and so my own personal experience does not count for much anyway because you don't know my past medical history, what medications I am taking, my baseline bloodwork versus post-supplement bloodwork, etc. Everyone is totally free to try whatever they wish!
I have personally been on these products 7 years. The health benefits are fantastic and much improved for me. My Dr. is pleasantly surprised with all my values and improvement. I feel 15 years younger.
I agree! My fibromyalgia, Lupus, ADHD, Autism, CPTSD, my gut health and A1C is under control, off of all my pharmaceutical meds and I can live a stress free life now! Plus I have lost tons of weight, I only do the capsules too! I have been a Thriver for almost 5 years. Thank you Thrive for saving my life! Without it I’d be going to so many Dr appointments and filling my body with meds for my DX then take meds because of the meds causing reactions. Thrive for life!
@@sammiedean1126 same I can't take Ritalin because of side effects and this is almost 90% like Ritalin. Helps with depression, anxiety, ptsd but I still get side effects from it just not as bad as Ritalin. Bit worried about what the Dr said about liver problems. It's all very well to say eat healthy but I do all that plus exercise plus drink lots of water, meditation etc but all this still doesnt do anything for my mental health, wish it did.
I just started the Thrive experience and I am very impressed! I think the list of ingredients is wonderful and I have a great understanding of natural supplements. I even wanted to buy my own health food store with supplements. So they are fabulous in it and I could tell the difference right away. I have a lot of energy and I forgot to take my pain medicine which I normally have to take first thing in the morning. Plus I'm in a much better mood! I was skeptical at first but now I'm sold! I don't care for the high-pressure tactics from my promoter though. She's very pushy. Warning to start out as a customer and block whoever calls you. Investigate it on your own.
So you’re a rep ? How are your finances is all your really worried about right ? The harm is for the victims to deal with.

@@amandawhitworth5445 I recomemd the thrive classic if you don’t have major weight loss goals!!! And definitely choose the BLACK OR WHITE LABEL patch it will change your life. Especially for mental health and health challenges! I use the mens capsules because they have 10mg more of all natural caffeine! Salted caramel and snickerdoodle shakes are AMAZING .. if you do have weight loss goals get the thrive Elite and select the duo burn elite patch instead of the regular elite
Patch I promise you’ll fall IN LOVE
@@amandawhitworth5445 the lady deleted my comment wow
I have been taking thrive. I went from hardly being able to physically get out of bed to no inflammation at all. I have sciatica, deteriorating disk disease, spinal stenosis. So from a daily pain level of 7 or higher to somebody's a pain level of 1. I am usually extremely fatigued before 1pm to making it thru a full day of work and studying and college classes and maintain president's list. My weight is being managed. I researched every thing in thrive before I started taking it. And underst and why each ingredient is in there. It has been a huge help because I was 1 step away from going to disability! I couldn't even hardly stand up or sit down from limitation on my ROM and pain. Worth every penny I spend on this supplement program.
Interesting. I can honestly say. I suffered from many health issues prior to taking thrive. The 3 step program. I went from taking 7 medications. Now I take none. I was 185lbs prior to starting them. Now I’m 155lbs. I can also say I was often fatigue and unmotivated. I now have energy, motivation and a lot more patience with my child. My skin looks way better and I feel 10xs better. I actually go to the gym and get way more done in a day. The amount of caffeine I get from taking 1 capsule, half of shake and a patch is less then a cup of coffee. Majority of Americans do not get proper nutrition. I feel like this worked for me bc these supplements. Did fill my body’s nutritional gaps. I feel healthy now 😊
Just my 2 cents.
It’s actually a lot more caffeine than a cup of coffee, over 150mg to be exact. Where a cup of coffee is about 80mg
@@131pinkbird it’s not the same kind of caffeine tho it’s not synthetic, so therefore it is not give you the jitters or heart palpitations ❤
Yeah I’m no longer with thrive I’m now on happy juice this is just totally different it’s for your mental and I haven’t felt better thrive don’t have ish on this plus the price is so so so much better lol
What is Happy juice? Is that like an alcoholic drink?
Just your opinion after reading or ACTUALLY trying it?!
I feel great when I take it and it's the only supplement I have come back to over and over the past 10 yrs. It works for me. It's nice to hear others go over it. Thanks!
I've been on it 3 years my Dr approved it and I have hypothyroid and it's been the only product that has helped with mental clarity, energy, even lost 30 pounds!
I have hypothyroidism and my doctor said it's a big no no for me but I suppose everyone is different
I have hypothyroidism also and my doctor said no ti this immediately. She worked out a diet plan for me and I started exercising and lost 50 pounds. The best part I'm not spending 250.00 a month for these supplements.

My energy disappeared, my blood sugars escalated I got COVID 3 times and by the end of 2023 I got RSV and influenza together. I thought i was going to die. Now I live to tell.. I’m now back in my THRIVE. Just in two days I’m feeling great! Brain fog at work disappeared, my appetite has decreased and I had a sex drive last night I have not felt in a 18 months or longer. More to come. Don’t listen try for yourself, it will not kill you just make you feel great again.. ❤

@@april1972 exactly
All the ingredients are listed on each package and online. There's plenty of educational material available. This woman is very biased! I don't care for her attitude rather prescribe medication. I have some but I don't need to take anymore because it's already contained in Thrive but it's all natural!
Very Informative! In hindsight, each individuals have to do their own research and know what their bodies need and how they react to certain supplements, just how you would go and find vitamins at the drug store ! Because I know many people are hyper sensitive to certain products especially when mixed with multiple supplements! I take thrive and it’s not a magic pill , you definitely have to put in the work so it can go hand and hand to see optimal results just as you would work out and eat healthy ! Been thriving for 6 months and it’s been a life changer for me personally !I Also have to do my part to make that lifestyle change a better transition! But again it’s NOT for everyone !Do what’s right for you and your body 👌🏽
I have been taking Thrive for 10 years! I have never felt healthier! Unless someone is taking it they cannot say anything about it to be honest. The Vitamins are amazing! My PCP approved my Thrive vitamin as SAFE to take! Caffeine isn't always bad for you either! Studies have found caffeine can do both good and harm. American Heart Association states people who regularly drink coffee may be less likely to develop chronic illnesses. Drinking coffee-particularly two to three cups a day-is not only associated with a lower risk of heart disease and dangerous heart rhythms but also with living longer, according to studies being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session. 2-3 cups of Coffee has way more caffeine than 2 caps of Thrive vitamins! Of course, inquire with your doctor if you have health risk or concerns before taking ANY supplements, not just taking "THRIVE" vitamins. Also, I suffer migraines- because of the caffeine in THRIVE It knocks it out almost instantly. I don't drink coffee or other caffeinated drinks so caffeine I get from thrive is enough for me. I take one Thrive capsule in the morning and one in the afternoon. I NEVER take both together. I drink the shakes periodically, not everyday and I don't really use the patches. FYI I am not sell THRIVE ! I am the customer! 10 years! Thank You Le-VEL!

She’s NOT a doctor!! She, as a dietitian, markets her OWN products. Lots of false information here. If her products worked, she wouldn’t have to discredit others. Think about that.

The 3 step program. I went from taking 7 medications.
Now I take none. I can also say I was very fatigued from cortisol fluctuations from copious amounts of coffee and stimulants (FDA) and unmotivated. I now have energy, motivation and a lot more patience with my children.
My skin looks way better and I feel & look 20 years younger /better. I actually go to the gym and get way more done in a day. Overall positive vibes and happy days are what I experience now since 2014.
Or you could stop paying 230.00 a month for vitamins you really don't need. You said you go to the gym keep exercising and eating right and stop paying for this stuff it's not worth it. I lost 50 pounds AFTER I stopped taking this. My doctor recommended that I not take it.
@april1972 Thank you for your comment! I am glad to hear that you are doing well!
I know what forselin is. I also know very few gastrointestinal docs that don’t push prescription medications…taken daily…..and excuse me are we talking OVER PROCESSED.

Thank you for your very informative, non-biased review of the Level Thrive supplement program. It has been incredibly helpful to me.
@@dooglebee I’m glad it was helpful!!
Thank you, I wish more people would investigate what they are putting into their bodies
Opinions are opinions. I personally just started it and for like 3 years now I have tried to eat healthy, diet and exercise. I am a single mom of 5 who works 2 jobs and had NO energy. I was a worse mom because of this. Since starting Thrive I have been getting up super early to start my day and staying awake until I decide to go to bed, I am able to be more active with my children and accomplish many tasks and WANT to exercise. The best part my appetite immediately changed. Even with chips, pop (I was addicted to pepsi and drank like 6 a day), chocolate and quick dinner meals in my house... I DO NOT WANT ANY OF IT! Today I made my kids hot dogs and decided that even though my body was telling me it did not want them I was going to eat one anyhow and the hot dogs made me feel gross. I will not be eating anything like that again. SO those who are not able to make lifestyle changes easily and stick with them, this is an AMAZING product. I FEEL GREAT and it was the best choice I ever made for myself and my family! It is not a lose weight quick pill. It is not magic. It supports a lifestyle change!
Selling that MLM hard eh???
I took the men's capsules and shake for 5 years with great results.
Hi @Darrin ! Didn't expect to find you here haha
I think if we fast, eat fruits ,veggies ,drink water , and follow the guidelines according to the Bible , we can get all of our bodies needs. Excersize and make smart choices. It’s really common sense and we all know what to do, just become complacent in sedentary lifestyles.
Agreed. This helped a lot Jumpstart to that. Being a supplement, it is only meant to add to or help. Some only do the 8 weeks to find the motivation to get up off the couch and quit craving the junk
Absolutely love the Thrive Experience..I’ve tried it all and this is by far the best
I'm living proof that Balance by thrive works
Just work out. Go hiking. Visit nature. Play sports. Figure out ways to sweat everyday. That's how you Thrive! Don't take shortcuts!
So agree with you! People don't actually need these...a diet change and walking every single day and you will fill tons better. It won't be quick, which is what most people want, but it is sustainable long term.
I have IBS-D, lower end of high blood pressure and cholesterol (bad LDL), plus I frequently get colon polyps that have to be removed. Just by changing my diet and eating less processed foods, giving up added sugar and sodium, eating more fruits and veggies, fish and chicken, and less red meat, less gluten and I felt tons better and lost weight. I was also up to walking 10 miles a day. It was not easy, but it gets easier every day once you start. You just gotta take that first step! I recently broke my pinky toe so I've back slid, but I'm ready to get back out there walking and eating healthier again. At the end of the day, no fad product is going to work long term. People are just throwing away their money for a quick fix and to continue being lazy...and I'm the "queen" of laziness so I know.
Amino Acids are so important for people, especially folks who suffer from poor circulation, women probably need this more bc of what we tend to lose through our cycles, life after surviving a stroke.

I took Thrive for about a year. Lost 20 pounds but developed tinnitus. Had to stop taking it for that reason.
Dr T, I was on that diet twice, and gave it up. First time I lost 25 lbs, sugar levels dropped to normal on metformin and glypicide. went off the diet after four months, sugars went up. Weight gain back ten pounds. Then a year later I tried it again for three months, sugars went down, lost 20 lbs and went off the diet. Re gained the weight, and balaned out at 230 lbs. I had an overall weight loss of about 12 lbs, but my glucose has been hard to maintain. Now Im on metformin, glypicide, and trying jardiance. Im 67, weight train twice maybe three times a week, and still trying to make goals. It aint easy. But why do you suppose I lost weight and had good glucose on that thrive diet? Ive tried to duplicate it several times over the last three years, and cant figure it out. I take all of those supplements as they had on their product, I dont get it.
Have you tried the Mediterranean diet and low aerobic exercise?
So expensive as well.Its beneficial to the people selling it.They may very well lose weight.Due to being more aware of diet,having more energy from all the "natural " caffeine. Please people do your own research before buying into any weight loss product.
Thank you! I almost fell for this because my granddaughter’s aunt, whose 20 ish, keeps trying to sell me this. I’m 59, type 2 diabetic and the Mediterranean/Blue Zone way of eating has been a life saver for me! My labs are very much improved and my A1C is just shy of normal.

I cant take this stuff. I tried half a shake 1 time and thought i was going to die. Shaky, heart racing, disoriented, sweating. I tried half a patch today and again the same reaction but it obviously came on very fast given the way it is taken into the blood stream vs the stomach like the shake. The arm that the patch was on felt very heavy and weird and the feeling moved up and into my throat. I ripped it off after only 30 mins. Thus stuff us not safe for everyone. Not everyone can take this and the full dose. So many say oh you took it wrong or it was detox or whatever else they can come up with. Everyone isnt the same and it effects everyone different. Plz be careful when taking this and dont start with the full dose. I cant imagine if i had take all 3 steps what would if happened. 😥
I do take it because am on thyroid meds and am basically a very tired person with or without thrive. It gets me awake but I only take 1 capsule, patch sometimes, and 1/2 shake so I don’t gets all jittery . I realize it has plant caffeine in it but if I didn’t take this I’d drink coffee all day so what’s the difference. One thing you do not want coffee if you take this. I never crave it anymore.
Everything in the world is had ingredients that certain people cannot tolerate.
1/2 a patch? Did you cut it? Who recommended for you do that? That’s odd?
@@stephanieharding7055 I was just fixing to say that. Cutting a patch in half does not give you half the benifit or effect. Cutting patches in half actually can cause you to get a rush of those ingredients at once.

I have never felt better since taking these.
I use to take it. It helped with my digestion. Can you recommend something natural to replace thrive?
Hi Kirks, if there is a concern that you aren't digesting food well, then I would suggest seeing a gastroenterologist. I wouldn't want you to have an undiagnosed condition that could be better treated with other therapy.
@@TawnyaHansenMDMSc Well Thrive would give me a good elimination in about 30 minutes after I take it. I could take it early and eliminate and start my day feeling energized and fresh. Normally it comes around 10-11am. It's much easier to take care of business before leaving home. There was a energy boost with thrive but not much.
Thank you for always sharing your opinion and looking out for us!
Super informative thank you! I know you said you wouldn't recommend the product, but would you go as far as to say that it's unbeneficial or damaging to take as a relatively healthy adult based on the ingredients?
In my opinion, it is not beneficial and does carry the potential to do harm. The company charges you for a product that you absolutely do not need to lose weight or live a healthier life. Any supplement or medication that you take has the potential for side effects (i.e. liver damage, GI upset, etc). However, the overall risk is generally low. Overall, I think it’s best to limit the number of unnecessary chemicals that we place in our bodies. We also can’t tell what these chemicals are doing to our gut microbiome. Getting enough sleep, managing stress, taking care of your mental health, exercising, and consuming whole foods are always going to get you to where you want to be. Unfortunately, there are many ‘health gurus’ who are paid to push “must-have” products in fancy packaging. At the end of day, curiosity might drive some experimentation, which is totally fine. I just want people to be empowered with information so that they can make the most informed choices possible. I hope that was helpful!!
@@TawnyaHansenMDMSc Very helpful! Thank you so much for the information :)

Love yourself to Workout and eat right drink water its all u need ❤
I’m laughing at all the comments saying how they’re no longer interested because of this video. How many of you smoke cigarettes? Drink alcohol etc. and you’re worried what a health supplement contains? 😅😅
That’s beside the point. I’ll still have my coffee. But I’m not fool enough to pay big bucks for a bunch of caffeine.
I haven’t read the comments, but I came here looking for a review, because I was considering buying it. It is not a cheap product is about 200 dollars monthly. In my case I will look for others way to get my supplements that are better for my body and budget
So by your logic, as long as someone smokes cigarettes they should throw caution to the wind with everything else in their life?
The point is that just because a company calls it’s products “health supplements”…doesn’t mean that’s what they are. It’s basically an upper.
Actually, very few people smoke compared to back in the day. Anything that’s marketed like this people are making big money off of.
Sounds like it would help 🎉!.. I actually am using it and it is working great for me. I don’t always get to eat healthy and this is helping focus on healthy eating habits ..perfect plan for me and a bunch of others I know. ❤
Awesome I’m glad it’s helping you I been 4 yrs strong and never felt better
It helps my appetite so much! I'm not even hungry and I'm drinking a lot more water!
I love this product! Of course your going to say it's no good as Doctors would loose money.
Are you kidding me she was just reviewing the ingredients. Not to mention you are spending around 250.00 a month for this when you could buy a multi vitamin that would cost you around 11.00 every 2 months and they have more vitamins in then than Thrive.
It's garbage expensive garbage and you reps are often like method up pushy lying people
And I'll be the first to say I'm still skeptical on the product. Just my personal experience with GI issue and thrive have been positive so far
Thank you for reviewing the ingredients such as willow bark and PEA etc.
A couple issues here..1 it's an opinion. Not all doctors are good and or well educated. I have several doctors for my GI issue..2 belive cannabis is great for certain things while the 3rd thinks it should be banned. That's not science.
2. I take a ppi and since I've started thrive I've cut my medications in half and sometimes don't even use them. I used to have cyclical vomiting...gone. gerd...rarely an issue. Build up of stomach acids...gone. all in conjunction with a better diet and exercise I'm feeling better than ever.
3. This isn't for everyone but they have something for most. And a lot of people reviewing this claim it as a miracle pill. It's not. You can't just take it and expect results.
Not worth the 250.00 a month price tag you can get better vitamins and shakes that have more vitamind and no stimulants and will cost you a fraction of the price.
Thank you for that. I’ve never been near Thrive products, but always wondered what was in them to keep people raving about them. I did suspect caffein.
I don't like having caffeine and don't drink coffee. But these products give you more of a clean type of energy. You can modify your program and it also comes in caffeine-free.
@@nancyminui9108 I’ll bet the caffeine-free version doesn’t work as well.
I keep seeing people say its 250 a month. You can get a discount code , so its like 120 for a month supply. I see more positice comments than negative.
Does maltodextrin turn into sugar in the body?
No, maltodextrin isn't a sugar although it behaves in a similar way sugar does when it comes to impacting our blood sugar levels. It happens to be a sugar substitute, with a much higher GI value than table sugar.
Nano technology yo their shakes rule
Would this patch have any ingredients that would make it unsafe to take during pregnancy?
Definitely ask your trusted medical professional. In general, I would avoid trying new supplements or medications during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary.
It isn't a replacement for food.. it is a supplement. Most doctors don't understand supplements. Ask your pharmacist.
Still better than RedBull, Monster or 3 cups of coffee. It is a slow release of natural caffeine.
Lol and caffeine isn't supplemented just for energy...has fat burning qualities and appetite suppression. Also coffee is know to have lots of cockroach poop in it
Thank you for this video!
I bought the product last week and saw your review and I decide that Thrive isn’t for me. Thank for the info.
Let me know if you would like to sell what you have left 🤍
@user-AllieG12345 I currently got samples I'm trying now. I love it so far. I already feel like I don't crave the sugar or food like I did.
This is still AROUND after the Watt's story?! 😳
Happy juice is sooooo much better and not as expensive I haven’t felt so happy and mentally better in a long long time
Always so informative thank you!
Chris Watts lost weight very quickly and got into great shape . He could not sleep properly and had a racing heart . He murdered his family because they had a lot of financial problems and his wife controlled his life . He fell in love with his mistress and wanted to start a brand new life and so he had dark thoughts and murdered his family . I am sure that taking stimulants could easily affect one’s hormones and and then affects the functioning of your thoughts .
I was wondering the EXACT same thing regarding Chris Watts. I’ve followed and listened to all his interviews closely.
Although Chris never blames Thrive, for what he did, when asked by detectives, he mentions that he was wired all day and only got three hours of sleep.
Chris was extremely passive and reserved. He said the patches he first took only had caffeine in them and didn’t do much for him. He said the elite patches had something else that he could definitely feel. He said he would exercise all day long, go to bed really late, and get up on only three hours sleep. He also said he would start to nod off in the middle of a conversation wake up and continue talking right where he left off.
When asked by detectives if it changed his personality, he said “no I don’t think so. It just caused me to lose so much sleep and that probably wasn’t good.”
I just don’t know as far as Chris Watts is concerned. Hes Just so passive and reserved. Thrive seemed to change how he behaved innately. People get wound up when they are on stimulants. Some more than others. He was almost acting like someone who was on steroids by exercising all day long. You can definitely tell by looking at his body, he was putting on the muscle. It obviously worked as far as giving him energy… But I don’t know what it did to his mind. I’m still curious.
@@natalierozean5989 When a man loses weight especially in a short time, his testosterone increases and oestrogen decrease because oestrogen is stored in fat cells and when fat cells reduce, so does oestrogen . Also , too much caffeine and other stimulants can cause the adrenal glands to produce too much adrenaline and then it can make a person aggressive . Cortisol also increases . How Ik ow all this is that my husband was bad tempered and he had high cortisol , low testosterone and high adrenaline . Chris Watts never had a history of violence when he was overweight and always did things to please people . Anyway he is where he should be for the rest of his life . RIP Shannan and her beautiful angels .
@@natalierozean5989 I’m sorry, but Shanann was my friend and I can tell you right now Chris was on more than just thrive in the patches you’re referring to or not elite we just got elite patches a couple of weeks ago you’re referring to the duel patches which or two that you wear at a time on each side of your body and not to mention, he would stay up all night so he can talk to his mistress he didn’t kill poor Shan or those beautiful babies because of thrive. It was because he was a heartless bastard that wanted to be with his mistress that was also feeding him God knows what that’s why they were having sex all day and night, when they were together, no telling what kind of party drugs they were doing together also heard that.
You say you are a G.I. Doc.. Last I checked AMA did not include nutrition in its accreditation to become a doctor. In watching your video it is full of "your opinions". The entire premise of the Thrive system is to fill the nutritional gaps left by our diets, no mention of that in your video opinion. You speak often about the caffeine content, which thanks you did educate me about a few things there. After 6 yrs if taking and promoting Le-Vel I can say unequivocally it has made my life better, a better husband, father, friend. You fail to mention the vitamin content in the three steps that feeds the body throughout the day.
You mention several times in your video the lack of scientific data and study about the products in your video, but fail to speak much about the agency responsible for those reports or lack there of. something being "not" approved by the FDA means little after walking through a grocery store and seeing what the FDA has green lighted as acceptable. FDA greenlighted EUA Covid measures that we haven't even begun to see the damage from. In the 6 yrs of taking these products my health has been inpecable. My last checkup my Dr told my my blood work was quote pristine. 6 yrs is a pretty good study on the effects of a product. My weight is good, cholesterol is good, no diabetes, no problems at all. Funny how doctors differ, I took every single one of these products to my doctor and showed him and asked him, he looked and said no these look GREAT! So differing DOCTORS differing opinions! You don't Thrive, you've never worked for or promoted these products. You're not a nutritionist, you're a GI Doctor, so how's about staying in your lane, if I get IBS, I will respect your training. You're WAY off on this video. Eat right, exercise, get sleep, and Thrive by Le-Vel will elevate you to places you never thought you could go. I promote because I love the products, not because I've gotten rich. They have changed my life and my wife's and we see how many people feel like poop because of the food and lifestyle. We help people change their lifestyle, Thrive helps!
@ZacharyPope Thank you for your comment! I am a Canadian doctor who has fellowship training in gastroenterology. If you would like, you can review the objectives of gastroenterology training here: www.royalcollege.ca/rcsite/documents/ibd/gastroenterology-competencies-e.pdf
Tyyyy Zachary couldn’t have said it better myself
Loved this analysis.
So not true. They are all about a true healthy lifestyle. Not just taking this and being unhealthy. It’s helped me more than I can ever imagine.
Could be that you're just more motivated to be healthy? YOU! It's not the thrive making you feel that. YOU are doing it. And making yourself believe it's this "magical thrive system" that's making you healthy?
Any idiot who pays the insane price for these garbage concoctions has to convince themselves it's working 🙄
I can't take the caffeine.
Is this good for a person have diabetis type 2???
@JennyColon Thank you for your comment! This wouldn't be on my list of things to use to address diabetes or borderline sugar readings. There is not enough high quality research evidence to support using it in comparison to other things like diet change.
Ok thank you
Yes
Dr Hansen I would love to know what you eat in a day you look amazing! What is your workout routine? Thanks
@Tiyetta thank you! Things are a bit upside down now as I have an 8 week old. I can do one in the future when things settle down a bit haha
I haven't had any issues with Thrive...it helps me in the mornings and without it I feel really tired. I think it's fine to take but not for a long period of time, so I take breaks.
OMG you basically just admitted your addiction... without it, you feel tired? well hello and good morning girl... it's addictive, clearly, you are tired because of your addiction to it...
@@DJ-cd6nr Not necessarily. I started using it because I was often feeling exhausted and fatigue. When I have it I'm great. I adjust what product I use and how much of them to fit my bodies needs. Because I've done that, I'm getting exactly what I want the way I want to experience it. If I do go without it, a long period of time, yes I do get fatigue and earn out again. That doesn't indicate addiction. It indicates that it does what I need it to do, which is give me energy. I know nothing about the original commenter but this is my personal experience.
@@erikaymac how about you try adjusting your diet and exercise regimen instead of pumping chems
I toom this for a month and when I stopped the withdrawal from all the stimulants was not fun
I love this doctor.
My friend's parents use this stuff and are monthly subscribers. Another friend of mine actually pitched me buying it. A few weeks ago I made a purchase to give it a try, but don't plan on starting to use it til The First of Next month. I've been a little hesitant, because my friend who sold it just gave it heavenly praise that it was "Life Changing", but didn't really answer any real questions about said products. Even after buying it I was warned by my one friend's parents to be near the restroom during the first few days of using it, as it results in The Runs. Then I was told The patch lead to my friend's dad having a panic attack. I'm a bit scared. I have enough to cover their "60-Day challenge", however if I start feeling sick after Day 5, I'll be calling it quits
Idk if your still trying it or already did but id highly recommend you quit if you are I was convinced to try it by my ex mma coach who is a affiliate and I thought it was awful (wich actually has nothing to do with why I can't recommend it) I watched my ex mma coach do there detox challenge and the only way I can describe his condition was similar to withdrawal symptoms
@@68assasin I've used it off & on. The 3 Steps of the Pills, Shake, and Patch seem to work as just a major set of Caffeine directly in your system. As a daily Red Bull drinker, I was looking for an alternative as I started working out. I can say I've dropped around 15 pounds. The whole THIVE thing honestly just got me into new habits that anyone should be doing, More Water & Weekly Exercise. I used to tend to nap mid-day, but wearing the patch kept out of that zone. Overall it's ok, but Damn is it pricey.
Have you tried it???
I haven't tried it thrive works
@@shereesamoley704 ..... oh... I do not quite understand what you are saying...
Hi Kathryn! No I have not. The focus of the review is to provide some background information on the ingredients listed and to see how the product fits within the framework of what is already known.
It is impossible for me to try every supplement as it might cause harm to myself. In a similar fashion, I have not (and cannot) tried every medication that I prescribe.
I prescribe medications based on a patient's specific clinical presentation, the clinical courses of the thousands of other patients I have seen, current consensus guidelines and the current evidence in the medical literature.
Ultimately, I am just a random person on RUclips and so my own personal experience does not count for much because you don't know my past medical history, what medications I am taking, my baseline bloodwork versus post-supplement bloodwork, etc. If you want to try the supplement, it is completely up to you!
The enzymes in the shakes help me with my food sensitivities and so do the probiotics.
I really appreciate your opinion. Can you do a review on Vasayo products. I really want to understand the science behind their marketed “liposome” technology. Health benefits etc. New Subscriber 😌
@Mrs.Shorty Thank you!! I'll put it on my list of things to review in the next few months. I am a bit behind on videos as all my attention is been on my new baby haha :)
@S G Thank you!
Y’all scaring me cuz I just order this all I want to know is does it work will I lose weight or am I wasting my money 😩
Girl I been on this product for 4 years you will be just fine sweetheart I see you put this a month ago. How are you feeling?
Eat right and exercise this will not help you lose weight
Yes thank you my mind is made :)
Thank you!
Well I am trying it. I see no results and its been 2 weeks. Yes this product is expensive and really a marketing ploy. I am educated and do practice medicine. After my 2 weeks to go..im done with this product.
Does it give you more energy throughout the day?
@@CandidTabatha i suppose it does however caffeine will do that.
Can I ask what kind of change you were expecting in two weeks?
@@MISSxSHELLE right lol
The same change she would have gotten had she taken it the entire 8 weeks no change at all and 500.00 dollars poorer 😅
So your making a judgement based on ingredients as you read but never have taken it to understand how it works and you probably drink coffee in the morning.
Hello there. Can u please review the product maqui plus? Thank u
Hi Joylene! I will add that to my list of things to review!
@@TawnyaHansenMDMSc Thank u so much
Can you do a video like this on KETONES//NAT ??
Those are the ones by Pruvit right?? I can definitely do a video on those :)
Just read the comments and She is not a doctor. She is a dietician and pushes her own products.
Thanks for the review doctor. Curious would you give the okay on the thrive experince for someone who has has vertical sleeve surgery?
Did you get a response? I had vsg and thinking of doing in.
@@lindaaaron5072 .... hey! So I didn't get a response here but I tried Thrive and can give you my personal experience with it. I took the multivitamins, shake and patch for a little over one month before I moved where they didn't ship to. The shake really gives a bolt of energy. I really noticed a difference. As for the patch... well it's controversial because there's no way to measure how much vitamins are really being absorbed into the skin. I think I felt a difference with the patch and the multivitamins. Definitely felt able to work for longer periods of time.... just with the shake I felt amazing energy! now for the cons - ingredients are processed, there's not much difference between male and female - which might not matter to you - umm... oh and very high levels of caffeine in vitamins.... could explain why I was alert ... I did feel calmer and more rational also.... it's pretty expensive.... I wouldn't mind having it as an option but the cost of relying on this daily / monthly could add up fast ... finally the company seems sketchy to be honest. I mean I did get what I ordered.... customer service reps responded quickly - but it's a multi level marketing type of company, so people make commissions off selling to their downline and so forth. I have a link if you want to use me as your referral lol 😆 but to be honest with how expensive this is and how sketchy the company is, I wouldn't rely on this as the absolute only thing. I would go for a more reliable and well known company. One of my fears was if I came to depend on these vitamins and one day the company just stopped offering those vitamins or went out of business.... also while I felt great with the shake .. . What's in it as vitamins is questionable and in the long term could this have negative impacts to your overall health? I'm not sure. Look into it. Hope that helps best of luck on your new sleeve !
My doctor said it find
And while legumes appear to be healthy...they contain phyic acid..which your a doctor you know lol. So not necessarily a healthy alternative if all you eat is legumes. I guess anything in excess is un healthy
Damn sounds like someone needs the three steps in their life lol it’s a lot better than taking pharmaceuticals let me tell you that.
Thank you for your comment! There is a time and place for pharmaceuticals and they are definitely overused in a lot of cases. I'll take sleep over anything else at this point as my 3 month old is keeping me up! Take care!
To the doctor, have you tried this product?
Hi Wilma, no I have not. The focus of the review is to provide some background information on the ingredients listed and to see how the product fits within the framework of what is already known.

What do you recommend to folks who have a very difficult time making sure they get all the nutrients they need daily?
Thrive give you all the nutrients you need.
@@shereesamoley704 spoken like your a seller of this product
See a doctor or drink ensure, literally given in hospitals. You can buy it at Walmart. But unless you’re eating nothing but chips or something you are probably fine.
@@elaz925 I'm gonna assume you're probably not as healthy as you think you are. That's like replacing smoking with vaping lol
@@dylanoneil2560 No it’s not,not at all. this person could just go to the doctor and eat a healthy diet but since they’re asking on this video I assume they want just drink something else. They gave my mother ensure in the hospital after surgery.
How do you know if it works if you haven't tried it?
It’s called science buddy. Do you think as a doctor they personally take medication for them to be able to recommend it to you?? NO
I always thought that heroin/cocain was bad until I tried it. Now I love it LOL
How do you know if cyanide works if you've never tried it?
She doesn’t have to try it she is commenting on the ingredients . It’s caffeine whether it’s in a coffee or in plants.
What’s it suppose to do ? How’s it suppose to work?
I’m NOT on these products because I just haven’t tried them but I would love to point out that you said you are a doctor and not a nutritionist.
Doctors have if ANY, only a very small amount of nutrition education, that is not that field of expertise.
So this video is just an opinion and observation of what you learned and know from your schooling. 🤷🏽♀️
Just saying.
@@GetZaaZaaFit thank you for your comment! Yes, we don’t get much nutrition information in medical school. However, my subspecialty is gastroenterology and more specifically inflammatory bowel disease. To complete training, it was mandatory to study nutrition as you can imagine. There are even GIs who specialize in nutrition only. I completely agree that this video is just an opinion! Not medical advice at all - take away what you think is helpful and ignore the whole thing if you didn’t find it helpful!
Why do women need amino acids to combat fatigue? Really? 🤣 Girl everything you're saying sounds insane. Literally you're trying to say the science behind thrive isn't right.
She's a doctor what degree do you have?
We have fatigue and low cognitive function lol
Hello Canni asked if this thrives us good with hyblood and diabitis
Hi Lina. I would not recommend this as a treatment for high blood pressure or diabetes. Speak with your doctor about treatments. There are many treatments and lifestyle changes that are supported by numerous research studies.

This is funny because she could easily ask how much caffeine is in the entire system… about 60mg. That’s around half a cup of coffee. MDs have minimal nutritional education and she obviously hasn’t tried it and doesn’t know about whole- food sourced nutraceuticals.
Thank you for your comment! It is true that there is minimal nutrition education in medical school. However, there is an entire sub speciality within gastroenterology that is dedicated to clinical nutrition and nutrition research! Take care!
@@TawnyaHansenMDMSc Basic due diligence to find our caffeine amounts might have been prudent before bashing a product. I'm a biohacker and have tried everything under the sun. This works better than any other supplement I've ever tried.
Love you
This stuff is expensive 250.00 a month buy One a Day vitamins energy fornula and get a better vitamin for a much lower price. If you need that many stimulants then you should see a doctor. This is a multi level marketing scheme. Save your money and talk to your doctor about better alternatives.

Dumbest comment ever.
Thrive = Pure Garbage
I appreciate your review, but having a doctor talk about a product without actually using it, is like having a counselor treat an addict who has no experience with addiction. Exactly only an opinion. Thousands upon thousands of people have improved or ridden of their ailments because of this product. This is exactly why we say that it needs to be experienced! Anybody can give their medical opinion but without actually field testing it won't be as reliable and accurate
Hi Crystal, thank you for your comment! The focus of the review is to provide some background information on the ingredients listed and to see how the product fits within the framework of what is already known. I can't try every supplement and in the same fashion, I have not (and cannot) tried every medication that I prescribe. I prescribe medications based on a patient's specific clinical presentation, what current consensus guidelines are, the clinical courses of the thousands of other patients I have seen, and what the current evidence in the medical literature is.
As you are aware, there are many cases where a physician cannot experience what their patient is experiencing (i.e. male OB who has never been pregnant, giving a pregnant woman advice on what she should and shouldn't be doing during pregnancy or female urologist giving advice on prostate problems). From my perspective, I give advice on many gastrointestinal conditions that I have never experienced.
I agree that my opinion is just that. Ultimately, I am just a random person on RUclips and so my own personal experience does not count for much anyway because you don't know my past medical history, what medications I am taking, my baseline bloodwork versus post-supplement bloodwork, etc.
