Thrive

TESTIMONIAL
When BIN first released their Thrive program I was ecstatic. Having been diagnosed with IBS a couple years prior, I had a diagnosis, but not a personalized long-term management solution. Over the past nine months, we have worked to evaluate symptoms around digestion, energy and overall health/wellbeing in general and how that relates to nutrition. I came in with the primary goal of IBS management and came out with much more – a broader, sustainable, and healthy perspective about nutrition overall. Not only have most of my physical symptoms subsided, more importantly, I’m in a much better headspace. The diet culture is real and I had to unwind some pretty nasty behaviors/mindset to be able to move from the scale as a sole measurement of success. 

To say it’s been a linear journey is a lie, but that’s the thing, it’s REAL LIFE. Life is not linear and I’ve learned things along the way that have propelled me forward. I’ve stayed consistent and *most* of the time, patient - ha. I’ve landed in a place where I’m not obsessively tracking every day, overly focused on macros and most of all, finding ways to give my body the kudos it deserves for getting me to where I am today. Emily helped guide, encourage, and keep me accountable through the process.

I am getting ready to transition to the Lifestyle program now that I have my IBS management in a good place. I’m gonna miss the hell out of this program, but I know it’s my time to explore more strength-building programming and excited to make gainz with Ryann.  I love that BIN offers programs to fit all phases of your journey and grateful they encourage you to find what works for you at different points in time.
