A True Story of How I Got My Body Back

Updated: Jan 17

The Night I Knew Something Was Different


For two years I had been consciously concentrating on getting enough fruits and vegetables in my diet, but it was HARD! I was trying to get the recommended 10 servings, but found it to be an ongoing challenge. Thankfully, Thrive freeze dried foods helped immensely.

Still, when Thrive Life revealed they were going to launch Ruvi drinks, I was over the moon. I have seriously never been so impatient for something to become available in all my life! Why? Because eating enough fruits and vegetables had changed my life SO completely, I knew I could never go back, and the promise of ultra-convenience and portability was ultra-enticing!

Finally, Ruvi was launched and I bought a hefty supply. I drank them daily (often twice a day) and introduced them to all the people I love so they could feel the magic too!

One of the things I loved the most was the sudden jump in variety of fruits and vegetables we were now taking in -- so much more than what we were accustomed to!


The Very Moment I Noticed The Change

One night, after I had been drinking Ruvi faithfully for a month and a half, I had the following experience. It was just one crystal clear example of the changes that had taken place in my body.

That evening I had pulled into a gas station to fill up. As I was exiting the car, my elbow knocked into the lock button on the door, and before I could stop it, the door had swung closed with a fateful thud.

Instantly, I realized that while I was outside the car, my keys, purse, phone, and wallet were locked away inside the car. Not only that, but they were all splayed out on the passenger seat, maddeningly visible but out of reach.


Slightly vexed, but also amused at my own silliness, I went into the station and borrowed a phone. After calling every person whose number I could actually remember, and not reaching a single soul, I decided on plan B. My sister lived about a mile away from the gas station, so I decided to walk to her house for help.

It was a cloudy evening, pleasantly warm for the season, a day or two before Halloween. Although it was dark, I wasn’t too concerned about the walk. I set out and was actually enjoying myself, until my mind started recalling the scene on that passenger seat.


Everything was laid out so temptingly. My wallet was even open, with the cards lined up in all their glory. Despite my certainty that there were security cameras at the gas station, I had soon convinced myself that the temptation was just going to be too great for someone and they would break the window to grab the goods.


Suddenly, I was in a hurry.

The only thing I could think to do to speed things up was run. But I was sincerely worried about trying that.


Though I've enjoyed running in the past, a few years ago I had decided that it wasn't good for me anymore. I had started experiencing chest pain, irregular heartbeat, excessive breathlessness, joint pain, etc., even when I went a short distance. I hadn't run at all since then.


That night, however, I decided I HAD to run, and in the process discovered something amazing. I ran over ¾ of a mile and felt NONE of the symptoms I described above. I ran effortlessly, with no pain, and wasn't winded at all when I reached my destination.


It felt amazing! I was absolutely astonished! I started to remember why I used to love running. The wind in my face, the power I feel, the exhilaration and accomplishment. Wow. That got my attention!

We Have The Power To Change Things



The arthritis in my fingers is gone. Just phhht....gone. My migraine headaches with aura are gone, and have stayed away for years! My brain fog is gone. I need less sleep and don’t take naps anymore.


Even my mood is different! I had started feeling like I was too old and tired to make big goals and do hard things (like I used to relish in my younger days). Even that has come back!


My husband and I have been planning new exciting adventures, because we have the energy and drive again. I almost wouldn’t believe it, except I’m living it!


I lost 23 pounds. My blood pressure, inflammation markers, blood tests and other indicators are all normal now, after some health scares in the past.

I lost my mother to an unexpected stroke when she was the exact age I am today. My children don’t remember their grandmother, and I miss her so much, with every milestone in life.


When I started experiencing health challenges I wondered if I was at risk for a similar fate. But that has changed. I now have complete confidence in a long and healthy life ahead.


Do we have the power to change our lives? Yes, yes, YES! I am now a firm believer!
