Known as renowned personal trainer on the television series "The Biggest Loser," Jillian Michaels is trading in the small screen in order to help Gunnar Lovelace change the lives of people viewing the screen. Michaels, once a bullied overweight eighth grader, and Lovelace, the child of a single-parent home, both learned at a young age the hardships of life and value of taking care of oneself. During Michael’s time on television, she became an inspiration for many people through teaching and promoting the importance of working out. However, stepping off the screen, Michaels has teamed up with Lovelace of Thrive Market to promote the benefits of healthy eating and the importance of making healthy living affordable to all people.
As “a team of serial social entrepreneurs, technologists, and natural products industry veterans,” (ThriveMarket.com) founders Gunnar Lovelace and Nick Green wanted to provide Americans access to healthy food that would not “break the bank.” After years of development, Lovelace and Green launched Thrive Market with an ambitious goal of making healthy living accessible to everyone. Established as an online company, Thrive Market sells products differently than common grocery retailers such as Giant Eagle and Costco. For instance, Thrive Market purchases quality organic products at wholesale prices then turns around and sells the bulk goods at “twenty-five to fifty percent off” market retail prices. As a result, Thrive Market cuts out the middleman and unnecessary markup on food. Additionally, the food ordered through Thrive Market is shipped to the customer’s home within the same business week. In other words, customers do not have to deal with the craziness of shopping at a local grocery store! But what about profits? Once a customer makes an account on the Thrive Market website, he or she has one month of free access to try online grocery shopping. After one month, the customer can either cancel the account, or pay a yearly membership fee of just $55.95 to continue their membership. In addition to creating an account, Thrive Market will in turn “sponsor a low-income family” by providing the means to shop healthy foods.
On the Thrive Market website, individuals will find a variety of over 2,500 healthy and organic food products to browse and/or purchase. Although, the company carries a number of brands to choose from, the website makes it simple by only “selling brands that include values of health, sustainability, and premium quality.” In addition to making grocery shopping hassle-free, Thrive Market caters to individuals with common food allergies such as peanuts, tree nuts, lactose, and gluten by carrying products free of certain ingredients! The website also makes it effortless for people to shop for specific diets by applying filters.
In the end, Thrive Market is simply making living a healthier life accessible as well as affordable for American people by offering quality products at low cost. So take advantage of the free one-month membership and give it a try!
