Our protocols and practice are based on the principles of functional medicine. Mugdha Pradhan, our founder, is certified by the Institute of Functional Medicine or IFM in the USA, which is considered the foremost organization for functional medicine globally. Mugdha started her practice healing people one-on-one all by herself. Today iThrive has a team of over 10 highly qualified functional nutritionists. We also offer functional nutrition training courses that are certified by IFM as well.
Beyond formal certifications, the most important certification of our quality, we think, is the hundreds of testimonials from our clients all over the world. We have successfully helped over 2000 people reverse over 158 different chronic health conditions.
We also have an extensive R&D team that stays up-to-date on the latest medical research and updates our treatment protocols and course curriculum every single week.
Along with the protocols, you will be given a tailor-made program that will be based on your likes and dislikes, which will make it easier for you to make changes to your current habits without altering them completely. Also, during the program, we will teach you how to stay within your protocols in difficult situations through games and interesting challenges. Your designated nutritionist and health coach will be there at all times to address all queries.
Yes, almost all clients require some level of supplementation, either to fix their health issues or optimize their health to the maximum. Supplements are very different from pharmaceutical drugs. They are natural substances that help your body bridge the gap left in your body’s nutritional requirements that are not covered by the food you eat. The foods we grow today have a depleted amount of nutrients, making it necessary for us to cover these nutritional deficiencies through safe filler-free supplements. Apart from that we also utilize many plant medicines that serve different purposes like killing infections or optimizing certain hormones.
Absolutely. As we mentioned, our treatment is highly holistic. We uncover the client’s root causes and a complete list of their health issues and imbalances. Our treatment then addresses all of them. The result, in most cases, is that there is not only a drastic reduction in the primary health condition the client is looking to address, but in all other aspects of health too. Weight loss and improved energy levels are the most common side effects.
At the end of the program, you are asked to get your blood work analysed again to see the progress you have made and will be given a maintenance protocol and an updated list of supplements based on it. This will help you stay healthy even after the completion of the program. In case you feel the need for continued support, we have different post-program plans in place, like a one-month protocol and maintenance protocol, which will make it easier for you to get in touch with us anytime.
We have multiple options to help out clients with financial limitations. Please get in touch with our sales team for details.
Our treatment protocols, which are based on functional medicine principles, have been developed after intensive research of the complete medical literature. We not only assess data from global medical journals and protocols and courses from leading functional medicine practitioners globally but also take into account the local context- this includes researching foods and products available in India and their toxin levels etc. Clinical trends specific to the Indian population and the Indian gene pool. We have an extensive R&D team that updates our treatment protocol and course curriculum every week.
All of our nutritionists and health coaches hold a Masters's degree in nutrition and have also completed our functional nutrition certification course.
