How To Thrive With Thryve

This podcast is all about getting your mind right so that you can make a positive impact on your immediate world and ultimately the greater world around you. However, sometimes it can be really difficult to be that positive light for others when we aren't feeling well physically.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes even when you're eating healthy, drinking lots of water, exercising, getting enough sleep and taking care of your mental game that you still may not be feeling well? Some of the latest medical research has been revealing how important our digestive track truly is when it comes to overall health and wellness. It turns out that our gut can tell us quite a bit of information about our health. Probiotics have been very popular in the last few years. However, with so many options available, are we really ever sure if the probiotic we buy is really helping us? How can we know if the healthy bacteria in our gut is improving?

Listen in today where we are joined by the CEO and founder of THRYVE INSIDE, a probiotic company that offers a personalized gut health program where the probiotic you receive is tailored specifically for you. How is this possible you ask? Well... you will just have to listen to my conversation with Richard Lin to find out :)

Chris' nugget of wisdom

“You want to make sure you’re attracting other champions to you. Not being stuck with the people who aren’t moving you forward… you want to be with the people who are on the same mission as you”

“We’re all victims of happenstance. We react to what happens in our life. instead of saying, “let me take control, let me know that my mind and my mindset is going to be the most powerful tool I can use when things are going great and maybe when things maybe aren’t going so great”
