People are always talking about the newest weight loss fad they find. If you’re on Facebook, you probably see dozens of these kinds of posts a week. Most of these don’t work, and you’ve probably rolled your eyes a fair few times at these “quick fixes.” Maybe you’ve heard someone talk about the “Thrive patch” as one of these fads. Unfortunately, Thrive has gotten wrapped up in these kinds of fads, but it’s not the same at all. It’s not a “fad” or a weight loss pill.
Thrive is a lifestyle and nutritional support system consisting of three simple steps. While it’s not a get-thin-quick solution, it can help you lose inches and look your best over time. By managing your appetite and immune system support, you’ll be working to help manage your weight in a long-lasting way.
That’s part of the reason Le-Vel Thrive is so popular. There are Thrivers (people who use Thrive DFT and the other two steps) everywhere for good reason! The weight management support is only one part of the reason Thrive is amazing.
Are you not sure what Thrive is? Have you mostly only heard about the “Thrive patch”? Well, you’re in the right place. Read on to learn all about how Thrive works and what a Thrive “patch” actually is.
What Is Thrive DFT?
The Thrive experience includes three steps that are designed to help people of any age feel their best and support a health-friendly lifestyle. Thrive DFT (what some people inaccurately call the Thrive “patch”) is the third step in the full experience. Thrive products are specifically designed to help you fill nutritional gaps and deficiencies. We live in a toxic, pesticide environment and our foods are not as nutritious as they once were. Thrive is designed to counteract that and fill your nutritional gaps so you feel your best.
Thrive DFT is too often called a Thrive “patch.” DFT actually stands for Derma Fusion Technology. When you apply the DFT to your skin, it infuses it with your skin to deliver important nutrients over an extended period of time. Calling it a “Thrive Patch” makes it sound like a band-aid or a sticker you just slap on. The Thrive DFT is a premium technology that delivers nutrients.
Some of the top benefits of the Thrive experience include:
- Weight and appetite management
- Enhanced energy and mental clarity
- Support for overall well-being
- Easing joint discomforts
- More peaceful sleep
- Immune system support
- Nutritional support
How Does Thrive DFT Work?
There are three steps to the Thrive Experience:
- Step 1: Start with the capsules. I recommend keeping them by your bed alongside a glass of water so you can take them immediately in the morning.
- Step 2: Follow up with the shake 20–40 minutes after taking the capsules. The shakes come in a variety of flavors, so you can pick one you like.
- Step 3: Apply the DFT and leave it on for 24 hours. Clean and dry an area of skin to apply the DFT. It’s recommended to pick a lean area of your body, like your bicep, shoulder, or top of the buttocks. Press the adhesive side to your skin and then leave it on for 24 hours.
The key is consistency. Doing the experience every day is the best way to get optimal results.
The Holistic Approach to Weight Management
I briefly mentioned that Thrive is an approach to weight management that can help with appetite management and losing inches. So, let’s break down what I mean by weight management and how that differs from straight-up weight loss (and why it’s much more sustainable).
Weight loss is shedding pounds, and sometimes it happens quickly. But it’s rarely sustainable. Too often, fad diets lead to people putting the weight right back on. That’s more discouraging than never losing the weight in the first place because now you’re back at square zero after seeing success. Plus, it’s often harder to then drop that weight a second time.
Weight management, however, is more about keeping your weight at a consistent sweet spot for your body. It’s sustainable over time and doesn’t lead to that yo-yo effect that fads do. It’s a stable way to live your life that also helps you stay at a good weight.
Weight management is supported by the Thrive experience, but it’s not a silver bullet. You’re not going to put the DFT on one day and be a different person the next. No, real, sustainable weight management comes from a holistic approach that includes regular exercise and a healthy diet. It also involves getting a full night’s sleep every night and taking time for your mental wellness. That includes relaxing, meditating, or even journaling to help you care for your mind as well.

When you combine this kind of lifestyle with the Thrive experience, that’s when Thrive can really begin to help transform your life. Because Thrive isn’t just a Thrive “patch,” you throw on your arm. It’s a way to support your already healthy lifestyle. Combining Thrive and this type of lifestyle is a way to maximize results, including weight management.
Real Thrive Reviews
You don’t have to take my word for it, though. Here are some experiences and thoughts from a few real Thrivers out there:
“Well! I was very reluctant to use those products, it took me almost two weeks asking questions and research about this company and products, but I decided to have a go… Only with 2 capsules in the morning and one adhesive (I had two shakes as a trial), I am drinking more water, reduced sugary intake, less bread, more fruits and vegetables and I am feeling much better: my energy levels improved a lot, plus my shape has shown signs of improvement. I am happy with my experience and looking forward to Thrive more and more!” – Andrea Cruz-Soares.
“I love these 3 simple steps! I wake up energized and with no mental fog or grogginess. I have the motivation to exercise and don’t crave the foods and drinks that I used to eat. I have been able to make better life choices and couldn’t be more thankful. I am a happier person and a better mom and wife that I know I should have always been. I will be forever thankful for the Thrive Experience. To me, it isn’t an 8 week challenge. It is a life-changing journey that I never want to end!!” – Gretchen Brock.
“My cousin Sandy Meuer had been talking about Thrive for some time now and I just kept saying that can’t be for me. I saw all the things she was accomplishing and still thought it wasn’t for me. About a month ago, I decided I was tired of being tired. I contacted her and she sent me a sample. After the first day, I thought to myself, “Why had I been so negative about this whole experience?” I love it. I have the energy to get things done around my house. I don’t want to take naps all day anymore. I am meal prepping and cooking more at home and that is saving us money and getting us healthy. I love everything about this product and can’t wait to see where it is going to take me.” – Jan Colby.
“Well I definitely was not a Day One Thriver. Mine happened somewhere between days 10-15. It was super easy and convenient. I loved that I was done within the first 30 minutes of my day! 2 weeks in and I felt happier and more relaxed. No longer was I edgy and irritated all the time. Surprisingly, it was my children who brought it to my attention that I was different. I wasn’t yelling at them for being kids and I was waking up before them and making breakfast! Having better sleep combined with the mood support not only helped me enjoy my children more but it also saved my marriage! I just had my 3 year anniversary for taking the product and I couldn’t be happier! And neither could my family! Thank you Le-Vel!” – April Emil
Answering Common Questions about Thrive
Is Thrive used for weight management?
Yes! Le-Vel Thrive can be used for weight management, and it’s best when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle. To really see the optimal results, you’ll want to be eating right, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep at night. When you’re doing all of that and then add Thrive to the picture, now that is a powerful combination!
How long does it take to see results with Thrive?
Everybody is different. Some see results within days, but in general, it takes about eight weeks of using Thrive consistently to see results. The Thrive experience isn’t instantaneous. It takes time to reach optimal results. That’s why it’s recommended that you try the experience consistently for eight weeks before making a judgment call. I, personally, experienced some effects within a couple of weeks, but it took the full eight weeks for it to really transform my life.
How much does the Thrive DFT cost?
Le-Vel offers two main packages with a one-month supply of everything you need for the full experience:
- The Thrive Elite: $284 a month or $9.47 a day
- The Classic Thrive: $254.00 a month or $5.33 a day
You can also get the Thrive experience for couples—with enough for two! That can help you have an accountability partner that can help you stay on track with your goals. Just think, for the price of a coffee a day, you could be improving your health instead.
Conclusion
Overall, Thrive, including the Thrive DFT (not the Thrive patch!), can be a powerful experience when combined with a healthy lifestyle and diet. If you’re exercising well, eating right, and having the full Thrive experience, the results can speak for themselves. And one of the results can be consistent weight management.
Consider Thrive DFT as part of a comprehensive approach to health and wellness!
