From Idea to Reality: The Evolution of ThriveWell

The idea of ThriveWell started about a decade ago during a long bike ride along the Ohio-Erie Canal towpath on a hot summer morning.  Another day, back on the grind busting his ass to get fit after working a long night shift in the ER.  Exercising wasn't just a way to get in shape and look good but it was also a coping mechanism to deal with stress, depression and anxiety.  Lifting weights and pushing himself to the limits was an adrenaline rush but also a mood booster but something was missing.  

 

Our founder has struggled with his weight and energy his entire life despite exercising often.  He tried dozens of fad diets and exercises but could never seem to get the results he wanted.  Years of being obese, overworked and overstressed wrecked havoc on his physical and mental health.  He took his health into his own hands and began researching symptoms and causes, after discussion with his physician and some lab testing, he was diagnosed with low testosterone.  After starting treatment his life has changed tremendously and symptoms nearly all resolved.  He was treated by several providers throughout the years but service was always subpar.  It was cold and almost careless.  

​

He knew he could do better and he knew he could provide a better experience for his patients.  It wasn't until several years later that he woke up and decided to get shit done!  The ground work was laid and ThriveWell was officially founded in Fall of 2023. Countless hours later and many sleepless nights we welcomed our first patient in March of 2024 and have a clear vision for future growth.
