Built by someone who was told to do all this and had no way to
Thriving wasn't started by a doctor. It was started by a regular person with no medical credentials, who kept hearing the same list from one doctor after another — move more, eat better, sleep, manage stress, keep up your relationships — and was never once shown a realistic way to fit it all into a life.
Why it exists
I wanted a path for myself, and eventually for my kids: to develop their whole selves, reach for their dreams, calm their minds, understand their emotions, and stay healthy for as much of their lives as possible, so they can enjoy all of it.
At the core of this program are relationships, love, and enjoying life. The practices are how you get there.
Why you don't have to take my word for anything
Because I'm not the authority, the research is. Every practice lists the studies behind it and links to them. You can read the sources before you sign up, and you can try five practices on the free page before you give an email.
Who runs it
Thriving is made and operated by The Thriving Institute LLC. You can reach a person at admin@thriving.org.
Thriving is an educational wellness program, not medical care.
