Hello
Founder & Transformational Wellness Coach Andre Britton created Alive And Thrive from a deeply personal journey of transformation, loss, healing, and reinvention.
For years, Andre was known for helping athletes improve their performance and reach their goals. But while helping others, he slowly began neglecting his own health. What started as procrastination eventually turned into a life-changing wake-up call.
On May 2, 2016, Andre met with a surgeon regarding a tumor he had been carrying for nearly eight years. During the appointment, he received devastating news. Not only was the tumor the largest the doctor had personally seen, but Andre’s blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall health had reached dangerous levels. Weighing nearly 290 pounds and living in denial about his condition, he was informed that the surgery itself was not his greatest concern — his health was.
The doctor explained that before surgery could take place, Andre needed to prepare a last will and testament along with a notarized power of attorney because there was a real possibility of suffering a stroke or heart attack during the procedure.
That moment changed everything.
Faced with the reality of his mortality, Andre made a promise to himself:
if he survived the surgery, he would change his life forever.
At the same time, his sister Mariah was courageously battling cancer. While both surgeries initially appeared successful, tragedy would later strike. In the years that followed, Andre lost multiple siblings, including Mariah. Those losses deeply impacted him and forced him to reevaluate life, health, purpose, and the importance of taking care of both the body and mind.
What began as a health scare soon became a complete lifestyle transformation.
Determined to reclaim control of his life, Andre immersed himself in learning about health, wellness, nutrition, movement, mindset, and sustainable living. He transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle, eliminated processed foods, improved his habits, and committed himself to physical, mental, and spiritual growth.
The transformation was life-changing.
Not only did he lose weight and improve his overall health, but he also discovered a renewed sense of purpose, clarity, and passion for helping others avoid the same path he once traveled.
That journey led to the creation of Alive And Thrive.
Today, Andre’s mission is to help individuals transform their lives mentally, physically, and spiritually through wellness, accountability, mindset development, healthier habits, and sustainable lifestyle change. Through coaching, challenges, community support, and encouragement, he strives to inspire others to take control of their health and become the best version of themselves.
Alive And Thrive is more than fitness.
It is about reinvention.
It is about growth.
It is about choosing yourself before it is too late.
Most importantly, it is about immersing yourself in the journey.
