Thriven Functional Medicine

My PCP referred me to Thriven FM for my gut issues last year.
I began my healing journey in January of 2026 with Dr. Loy Anderson and her amazing team.
When I started the program I had an open mind and positive outlook.
I also had other health concerns along with my gut issues. I have suffered with adult cystic acne, nail fungus, migraines, weight gain, fatigue and pain after a light workout, my whole body felt inflamed. I had brain fog most days. I also have Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism and low iron.
Before the program I was taking digestive enzymes, pre and probiotics to help with my gut issues. I was also taking magnesium to help with sleep and over-all body aches. I was barely getting exercise because I did not like the way I felt after a work out. My body would hurt. I was not sure if I was taking the supplements correctly. I wanted to do more but I did not know how to go about any of it.
After the blood tests and my first visit with Dr. Loy, she did an overview of my results and she put me on the correct doses and supplements for my needs.
The program has an outline of chapters with informative videos through the weeks to months that are easy to follow. There are so many resources available as well. Their coaching calls and group meetings are so helpful.
After a month on the program I began eating better foods. I'm losing weight. I also incorporated the suggested workouts, I didn't feel inflamed afterwards. I'm hydrated. I have nail growth. My skin has calmed down with less breakouts. My mood is better, no more brain fog. I feel energized every morning. I get RESTFUL sleep now.

I still have a long way to go but so far it has been nothing but positive changes.

I'm grateful to my PCP for the referral and to the team at Thriven!
