The key differentiator in how Functional Nutrition and Conventional Medicine treat Thyroid.
Conventional medicine practitioners, usually, consider Type-2 diabetes to be irreversible and prescribe insulin and other drugs to keep your blood sugar levels and additional symptoms in check. Not only do you need to continuously buy these medicines but it also leads to poor health and additional issues in the long term.
Functional medicine always uncovers the root cause of any chronic disease to permanently cure the condition. For diabetes, we analyse advanced metabolic blood markers and other related markers to determine why the body’s blood sugar management system has broken down, causing blood sugar levels to rise.
We identify the reason/s why you have Diabetes and focus on treating them. No band-aid approach; We believe in treating the root cause which results in the reversal of diseases.
Every individual is unique and so should be your treatment. We curate personalised plans based on your lifestyle, genetic and psychological makeup, environmental exposures and individual needs.
A successful healing process includes your entire body with acute focus on uprooting the disease. This is done through food, lifestyle changes and supplementation.
Our R&D team uses comprehensive research to bring optimal solutions to problems. They help us design your treatment plan that is sure to deliver definite results.
Be part of a community with the same shared goal to reverse their Diabetes. Share and receive recipes, tips and community encouragement. Peer support creates a sense of accountability and encourages you each step of the way.
It is a one-on-one partnership between you and your assigned senior functional nutritionists and health coach. They are available to guide you throughout your program and offer real time responses.
The insight that I am pumping insulin while I have enough insulin production in my body was revealing. I realized I need to understand my body and should be cued into its messages to me. I need to routinize my life, regulate my exercise and food. It is as simple as that. I am trying my best to bring this shift in my life. I thank the iThrive theme for this insight and their support.
Amazing team, helped me reverse my diabetes and thyroid condition. Their root cause analysis and consultation was too good. The set of nutritionalists are very motivating and ready to help round the clock. Thanks !!! Highly recommended!
It was a wonderful journey with I-Thrive . They helped me in pushing my limits to a point where I could see glimpses of my total control over my health. And let me tell you that is not easy for a 68 year old man who is already rigidly set in his habits. But I-thrive team could make me do it.
I want to thank you for being a spectacular energy. For always being there. And for answering queries at the oddest hours. I can’t emphasise enough on the support system you have been. I am so glad that I have come so far in this journey, and none of this wi=ould be possible without the overwhelming assistance I have received at every step. So thank you!
Thank you very much team iThrive for all the guidance and support through these 3 months. I've lost 5kgs in total (56.2kg to 51kg) and average 3 inches on the waist, navel, and lower abdomen. Even though weight loss was not my only target, it was the biggest challenge in my situation, and I was struggling with it for quite some time. And even though I have 5.5yrs of medical education and 5yrs of practice experience, it's difficult to do things when it comes to your own health. We women especially never make ourselves a priority. I learned to make myself a priority in the past 3 months.
I want to thank you and the entire iThrive team for helping me through this journey. Dropped a good 7-8kgs and about 4 inches around my waist.

Treating your root causes helps in healing other dysfunctions that may have occurred as a side effect of your existent deficiencies, toxicity or more. This is done by taking your blood reports and analysing them against our optimum ranges.
We do not claim to cure Diabetes as it is scientifically not possible yet to cure Diabetes. Reversing Diabetes, on the other hand, is very much possible. This means getting your sugar levels back to normal. And yes, it also means getting rid of medicines.

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.
