Why Tim Created Thrive Against All Odds

I recently came across an amazing story that I felt compelled to share with you.

Tim was born with a rare disorder – Ehlers-Danlos syndrome – that affected his joints. By 25, the physical pain was taking over his life. By 38, with a weight tipping over 400 pounds, Tim was almost immobile, relying on 20+ medications.

But perhaps the most painful part of his story? The emotional anguish. He’d lost hope, descending into a spiral of addiction, numbing the pain with narcotics and alcohol, manipulating the ones he loved most for a quick fix. It reached a point where he didn’t really care if he’d wake up the next day…

And then Tim’s dad and his wife Heather’s mom passed away within months. Inspired by Heather’s terminally ill mother’s determination to fight for every day she could get, Tim decided to give life one more try.

It wasn’t an easy road. There were failed diets, disappointments, and moments of despair. But Tim stumbled upon an experiment that would change his life.

And now, he’s on a mission to share all the hard-earned lessons in a free online series called Thrive Against All Odds. This incredible 9-day event brings together 35 renowned speakers – doctors, researchers, and even patients who’ve achieved extraordinary turnarounds in their own health. Their mission? To empower each and every one of us to overcome obstacles and optimize our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

And,the lineup of experts is worthy of your time. You may recognize Dr. Joel Fuhrman, a NY Times bestselling author celebrated for his groundbreaking nutritional research. Then there’s Dr. Michael Greger, a physician and author known for his reliable, science-based advice. And a refreshing addition is Chef AJ, a transformational coach who proves that healthy eating can be absolutely delectable.

But that’s not all – Ocean Robbins, the leader of the food revolution with a focus on health and ethics, will also be there. And let’s not overlook Dr. Michael Klaper, a true veteran with over 40 years of experience in nutrition and healing chronic diseases. This lineup is one you won’t want to miss.

Meet Your Host Tim Kaufman

Diagnosed with the rare Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) in his twenties, Tim faced a life of constant pain. By 37, he was trapped in a spiral, addicted to painkillers, booze, and junk food. Weighing over 400 pounds, even daily tasks became impossible and he relied on his wife’s help for pretty much everything.

After losing two close family members, he realized that he’d be the next person his wife would have to bury and he was determined not to let that happen.

What followed is a story that was featured in Runners World Magazine, Good Morning America, Today, People, and many other media outlets.

In “Thrive Against All Odds” Tim is sharing all the struggles and the lessons he’s learned along the way. And he’s not alone: You’ll hear from 36 health experts – many of which are Tim’s heroes and you’ll get to learn from them first-hand.
