Lee County Commissioner Kevin Ruane, Kristen Gustin, and Doreen Ruane at Thrive by K’s recent grand opening.
It has been such a pleasure working with Kristin. She listens to everything and answers all your questions. She does not make you feel rushed, and she takes her time. She’s very easy to get a hold of and gets back to you in a very timely manner. I’m excited to see what will be down the road as I continue to work with her through this journey.
As a fellow nurse practitioner, I hold Kristen in the highest regard for her exemplary care and expertise. She has played a pivotal role in my daughter and I’s weight loss journey with her personalized, knowledgeable approach. Kristen listens attentively, understands our unique needs, and provides comprehensive, evidence-based guidance. Her impeccable communication skills ensure we are well-informed and comfortable with our health decisions. Kristen’s dedication and genuine concern for her patients make her an outstanding healthcare provider. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled nurse practitioner.
I am so excited about my new journey with Thrive by K. I have struggled with weight gain and improving my health through menopause. Since I had breast cancer, hormone therapy is not an option for me. I have tried other weight loss programs in the past, but I chose Kristin after discussing my current weight and health concerns with her. Her vast knowledge in the field, as well as her focus on a realistic approach to weight loss and wellness was extremely motivating. Kristin and her team provide support in person through messages, videos, and one-on-one conversations, which is convenient and reassuring. I finally feel like I’m on the right track.
If you’re looking for a health care professional that is honest, intelligent, has great bedside manner, is courteous, truly listens to patient’s concerns, and is an overall great person, then you have found the perfect healthcare professional in Kristin Gustin. I have been a patient of hers for a few years and she has helped me tremendously.
I just want to express my sincere Thank You for your recommendation of the weight loss shot for my husband and myself. We are on this journey together and are so grateful to you for all your support and guidance. I’ve lost 12 lbs after 4 weeks. I know I have a long way to go, but with your support, I know I will not only be at my goal weight, but off my meds too. The fact that my husband listened to you and now realizes that by taking the shot & losing the extra weight will also help him with his overall pain he has been living with for years. Plus not having to take pain meds daily is a big goal for him. I will update you on our progress and can’t wait to have before and after pictures of us both.
I was taking semiglutide and I lost weight but it was very slow. I was at a plateau and I was desperate. I started working with Kristin at Thrive by K and she helped me get on the right dose of skinny shots and the right diet. The weight started coming off immediately! My energy went through the roof! I had chronic hip and knee pain and could barely walk my dog. I thought I might need hip surgery, but the pain is gone and I’ve lost 70 pounds! I lost another 2 pounds last week! I still want to lose 30 more – I never thought it was possible at my age. My starting weight was 234 and now I’m at 165. I’m 5’4 and 61 years old and it’s like a real miracle. I truly believe I can reach my goal of 135 with Kristin at Thrive by K!
I have the pleasure of working with Kristin on my weight loss. After coming off a serious injury I had to take a hiatus from any type of physical activity. Once I healed, I realized I could no longer lose weight (especially my love handles) and build lean muscle the way I used to. It was actually quite maddening. Until I spoke with Kristin. Not only did she give me her recommendations on what would work. She also helped me step by step to answer any questions, give advice, and lend support. After a short time working with her I saw drastic results. I’m not on my fourth month working with Kristin, and I’ve lost nearly 30 pounds, my confidence is up, and I feel once again the sky’s the limit. I’m 45 and feel better than I did in my 30s. I not only recommend Kristin, but I also trust her. I have recommended her to several friends already. Good luck with your goals!
I was so pleased with the service I received from Kristin. She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect item. I was very impressed with the quality of the product I received.
Kristin has been such a godsend! Throughout my weight loss journey, I’ve faced ups and downs, losing and gaining weight as I searched for balance. With Kristen’s unwavering support and guidance, I’ve achieved a total weight loss of 100 lbs, and I feel fantastic. Cheers to Kristen for being my rock and constant encouragement. Thank you for everything!
Kristin Gustin, NP, is by far the best primary care physician I have ever had. She is incredibly thorough and never dismisses her patients while being both up to date on the most recent science and leaving no stone unturned in her investigation. All of my neighbors on Pine Island discuss her and her wonderful care. She has an innate compassion for humans and truly exemplifies a medical professional in the industry for all of the right reasons. I suffer from POTS in addition to other ailments and could not have made it through to stabilization without her by my side fighting for me, listening to me, and caring for me as she does all of her patients without a second thought.
I’m ecstatic to share my incredible weight loss journey using the Skinny Shot and Sermorelin with Kristin at Thrive by K. Since starting in December 2023, I’ve lost an amazing 41 lbs and gone from a size 16 to a size 6. Kristin’s expertise and guidance, combined with the powerful ingredients of the skinny shot, have made all the difference. This formula has not only curbed my appetite but also boosted my energy and metabolism. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in cravings and an increase in motivation, making it easy to stick to my weight loss goals!
I am a mid-50s female and have been using the peptide therapy treatment from Thrive By K for the past two months, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable. As someone who has always been conscious about maintaining optimal health, I was seeking a natural and effective way to boost my overall wellness. These peptides have provided exactly that. One of the most significant benefits I’ve experienced is a dramatic improvement in my sleep quality. I now wake up feeling rested and rejuvenated, which has positively impacted my energy levels and overall vitality throughout the day.
