What Past Clients Are Saying

“Few months ago I was struggling with nausea and bloating after eating meal. Went to different gastroenterologist doctors but unfortunately nobody understands what’s the cause of this problem. Suddenly I was searching for a good nutritionist to get some guide on my diet plan for gaining weight and find thrive nutrition. After reading comments, I start to work with MIRANDA. I would just say she is amazing… for me her provided supplements worked liked a miracle. After taking her recommended 3 months supplements, my bloating and nausea almost gone. Now feeling better, my stomach doesn’t feel heavy, bloated and I don’t feel nausea after eating meal. As my guts and stomach issues resolved, I also gained some Weight. I’m happy for what I have paid and for the service that I received. My last words are she is not one of the best in her field but also as a person too. (Very nice and friendly, she puts her time to really understand your issues and problems)
Don’t think too much, she is the best just take her ( MIRANDA) :) :)”

“I am very happy that I worked with Miranda. When we first started out, my symptoms were constant and my gut was under severe distress. Even though my membership occurred during my busy race season, Miranda remained patient and helped me work through all of the ups and downs. She is very knowledgeable and always had various options to try. Miranda helped me heal my gut and I am currently in remission. :)”

— Leslie, Apple Valley MN

“I was suffering from a very angry stomach and after talking with her, she suggested changes to my diet. I was overwhelmed with a change in grocery shopping and trying different foods that fit the Paleo diet. Miranda calmed my nerves by sharing recipes and talking through the fears I had. It worked! My life has changed with the education on diet and exercise I was given by Thrive Nutrition! I look forward to trying new recipes and sustainable foods! My husband and I are so grateful!! I would highly suggest giving yourself and Thrive a chance!”

— Kelly, Minneapolis MN

My daughter was experiencing debilitating GI symptoms while in high school. We saw a gastroenterologist at MNGI who didn’t give us clear answers. We also saw one of their dieticians whose only advice was to follow low FODMAP recipes on her Pinterest board. Miranda gave us specific recommendations to follow and my daughter has been able to greatly improve her symptoms and continues to manage her digestion with 2 supplements while she attends college.

If you have symptoms, but aren’t sure yet if they are bad enough for a major intervention, we still want to help! Please read the above resources for guidance, especially the article on probiotics. Our 5 most commonly used IBS supplements are: Biocidin, RestorFlora, Fish Oil, Magnesium and MegaIgG2000.* You can order this recommendation from our online dispensary Fullscript: practitioner-grade supplements, always 15% off!**

Why we choose these supplements:

  • Biocidin - cuts through the complexity. It clears away irritants, unwanted microbes, and biofilms, while selectively enhancing beneficial organisms. Our signature blend, Biocidin® combines 18 botanical extracts and essential oils. The result is a potent, broad-spectrum formula that targets the entire GI tract and helps maintain the delicate balance of microorganisms in the microbiome. Its far-reaching effects include support for biofilm cleansing, immunomodulation, healthy digestion and elimination and detoxification. Not always enough for constipation type IBS, parasites, H pylori or mold.**

  • RestorFlora - a probiotic supplement that combines well-studied and widely-used probiotic strains Saccharomyces boulardii, Bacillus subtilis HU58, and Bacillus clausii SC109. This combination of probiotic yeast and bacteria offers comprehensive digestive flora support with an advanced, dual-action approach to maintain a healthy intestinal environment. Think of this as a broad spectrum, multi-action probiotic: maintains key health-promoting gut bacteria, supports microbial balance in the GI tract, supports digestion and nutrient absorption, maintains a healthy gut barrier, competitive exclusion of unfavorable microbes, promotes a healthy inflammatory response, plays a primary role in the development of Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT) for healthy immunity.**

  • Fish Oil - a wonderful anti-inflammatory. It’s common to see elevated inflammation or immune response from the GI Map stool test. Fish oils have been shown to support the immune system by influencing the functioning of immune cells such as white blood cells known as B cells. It’s anti-inflammatory properties can help inflammatory conditions such as gastritis. Fish oils benefit the rest of the boey: DHA found in the oils benefits the brain and nerves, the EPA helps reduce inflammatory conditions like joint pain, skin conditions and migraines.**

  • Magnesium - deficiency is rampant and is linked to constipation. Dietary Mg supplementation increases bacteria involved in intestinal health and metabolic homeostasis, and reduces bacteria involved in inflammation and associated with human diseases, such as IBD. Magnesium repletion can also improve sleep and stress management.**

  • Mega IgG2000 - another way to modulate inflammation. Mega IgG2000 is a dairy-free immunoglobulin concentrate that supports healthy digestion and maintains healthy gut barrier function.* Unlike other milk-derived immunoglobulins on the market, Mega IgG2000 is derived from bovine serum, making it lactose-free, casein-free, and β-lactoglobulin-free. This unique alternative to bovine colostrum supports a healthy mucosal immune system by maintaining healthy gut barrier function. The serum immunoglobulin in Mega IgG2000 has been the subject in over 10 published human clinical trials.**

*Assuming you will be incorporating lactobacillus and bifidobacterium via food like sauerkraut, kefir, gut shots, kombucha. Diet suggestion is to follow Paleo for 30-60 days. **These Statements Have Not Been Evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration
