Testimonials

Before this program:

I treated patients mainly through homoeopathy, focusing on emotional and energetic healing. But I often felt stuck with chronic cases, lacking clarity on lab reports and nutritional imbalances.

After this program:

I now confidently read blood work, connect symptoms to root causes, and use food as medicine. My treatment is more precise, combining homeopathy with functional nutrition for deeper healing.

Dr. Avneet Kaur Matharu

Certified Functional Nutritionist

Before this program:
Wanted science-backed, practical strategies that aligned with my
medical background.
Emotional well-being tools felt hard to apply in
daily life. Struggled with vague nutrition advice and quick-fix diets.

After the Program:

Learned emotional regulation tools like mindfulness and
journaling. Understood what it truly means to thrive — with
balance and alignment. Proud to add Certified Functional
Nutritionist to my designation. Gained clear, evidence-based
knowledge I can apply professionally and personally.

Dr Supriya Mangulkar

MBBS DA (Anesthetiologist) &
Certified Functional Nutritionist

Before this program:

As a lifestyle consultant and nutrition coach for 12 years, I
relied mostly on calorie and macronutrient-based approaches.
While clients returned for my coaching, I felt a gap in
understanding the deeper root causes behind symptoms like
fatigue and acidity.

After this program:

iThrive’s course helped me gain clarity on functional nutrition,
confidently suggest supplement protocols, and create more
effective interventions. Now, I handle even complex cases with
confidence and have a strong support system through the
iThrive community.

Kanchana

Functional Nutritionist

Before the Program:

I handled cases with a conventional approach- counting
calories, balancing macros, and standard diets. But I often felt
stuck with complex conditions like thyroid, insulin resistance,
or unexplained weight gain.

After the Program:

I now understand the root cause behind symptoms and
personalise protocols based on gut health, hormones, and
emotional well-being. My clients see deeper, long-lasting
results, and I feel more confident, aligned, and fulfilled in my
practice.
