Speaking of Amazon, I work there and one of my coworkers has a Le-vel car. I’m assuming she’s with the company.… speaks volumes about the “financial freedom”. Making it to a high enough rank to get a car and still having to work another full time job seems like a major red flag to me!!

[@SuperFireFry]

That's hilarious 😂

[@aweeds84]

Is her name Yvonne???

[@teri4672]

Doctor here. I had a patient whose blood pressure suddenly went through the roof and I couldn't understand why. He admitted he had been taking this 3 step system his wife told him would help with energy and weight loss. It took an inordinate amount of time to find out what was in this stuff. Their website is very opaque and it was hard to find, but when I finally did find the ingredient information, there was, like, 5 different sources of caffeine, plus some amphetamine-adjacent chemical of questionable legality. As in, the only reason it wasn't banned was because regulators can't keep up with all the new variants that people keep inventing to get around the last thing that was banned. I was like, "well, there's your problem. But it's definitely going to make you feel energized."😮😬 He stopped it. Everything went back to normal.😌

[@Happine5s]

😱😱

[@SarahSyna]

As someone who takes an amphetamine adjacent medication for ADHD, that is TERRIFYING. I had to have two separate doctors go through the list of possible side effects before I was allowed on it because irresponsible usage could result in, like, heart failure. And these lads just dosed the poor man right up? Yikes.

[@reginar2308]

Omg😮

[@zeesworld3371]

U did ur job right by ur patient thank u

[@steph678]

What was the name of the amphetamine adjacent chemical so I can avoid it? I take a lot of supplements and this scares me

[@jimmyhook4824]

This one hits closest to home for me. An acquaintance from high school (sweet gal, but not street-smart) lost a ton of money getting involved with Thrive, and those people had her convinced that Thrive could prevent cancer. Reprehensible!

[@dahliacheung6020]

Wow that is so evil of them. They really use anything to prey on people. ☹️

[@LisaHarvey16]

What! That is terrible to prey on the innocent like that.

[@aweeds84]

The company never says that. That's illegal. If someone individually said that ... that's on them, not representative of the company. They actually have a "Thrive against cancer" campaign and donate a portion of their sales to various cancer research foundations

[@dxtrememwe2215]

Crazy this story sounds so familiar. I have a friend from HS who beyond pushes this product like it's a gift from God. She claims taking it got her daughter off all the meds she was on for Cancer. Despite filled with positivity it really comes off like she got suckered in & was taken advantage of due to her being in a bad place in life

[@lizzmae4560]

I found out the girl that bullied me all through high school and some of college (who was 4 years older than me and graduated) is a part of this MLM. Tells me everything I need to know right there.

[@Maialeen]

Why is that type of person SO prevalent in MLMs? If they were a bully in school, I see a MLM in their future.

[@KismetLizard]

@@Maialeen came here to comment this! it's such a high school bully hustle.

[@TheAkumaChan]

What, bullying in college? What sort of sad life is she living? Oh ya, the le-vel life

[@Creativeambitionz_LLC]

Everytime I see level I think of Shanann and her beautiful babies 😢

[@dementeddoll8591]

Me too😪

[@SteveMHN]

Those two little girls were adorable.

[@dahliacheung6020]

Major props for covering this company again. Lots of mlms add new deceptive practices, change their comp plan, and overall switch things up to keep the scheme looking new. It's always good to keep your warnings up to date so that anti mlm doesn't get left behind by the scammers attempts to outrun it!

[@aweeds84]

It's not true. Don't fall for everything

[@elisa-beary]

I rly think doing a video or deep dive into the Kirby vacuums business practices & structure would be interesting. It’s nationwide, if not damn near. A lot of ppl fall in to at one point or another in my area that are struggling. It may not fall under MLM but definitely scam/unethical business! It’s a wild company.

[@cocoapuffpanda]

YES!! I’ve had a Kirby salesman stay for 6 HOURS at my house and would not leave no matter how many times I said I didn’t want to purchase a vacuum. Then at the very end where he was done showing me EVERYTHING and asked if I was ready to purchase and I said no, he got mad. Said I wasted his time and then since I had mentioned early on that I wasn’t going to make such a large purchase without talking it over with my husband first (he was deployed over seas at the time) he brought that up and asked if my husband was abusive or controlling. That I was “allowed” to make a purchase like this on my own without talking to him. I told him no again and he got PISSED, put the vacuum back in the box (all while still complaining to me for wasting his time and that I could help him out by buying the vacuum so he didn’t have to box it back up) then left ALLLLLL of the little paper inserts that he used in the vacuum show how much it was cleaning. He left all 98 of those things on my carpet AND all of the dirt and dog hair that was on them. It was a wild day for sure. What does that business do to their salesmen to make them THAT desperate? 😅 haha

[@amandafight7627]

Right, Kirby vacuums are a scam too pretty much because who sells a vaccuum that legitly cost 11K but doesnt give you 11k in the quality and power of the vacuum. The 130 dollar Bissell vacuums at walmart are the BEST ON THE MARKET TODAY. Idc what anyone says. They're better than the 200 dollar Hoover vacuums. I clean, organize and sparklize everything I touch for a living so I've used many vacuums in my day, even the other overly priced Dyson brand are crap for what you pay and compared to the Bissell vacuums. The Kirby vacuums will only sell to the uber rich bracket in society. Its ridiculous. I'm in the midwest southern Indiana and I met a young man (24 years old) that almost fell for the Kirby business pitch last summer and was going to move out to Oregon and start selling the overly priced Kirby vacuums but thankfully he listened to us that warned him not to do it.

[@9687loveless]

Omg I did work for Kirby YEARSSSSSS AGO!!! They had us go to peoples houses and demo by vacuuming their floors and trying to sell it it was so embarrassing I never actually even did it I just walked around lmao 🤣 such a scam and the guy was sooooo shady who owned it! They closed really fast afterwards! lol

[@chasingawesomeness7648]

Thank you!! I'm always checking for anything anti mlm. This one is my favorite because my crazy relatives have been destroying their lives and relationships trying to pretend they are changing lives and have early retirement plans knowing the need every real job paycheck to buy more Thrive to stock in their basement. We call them con-artist. Hustling poor people, pretending to be their friends. It's gross.

[@katelynnwho55]

The PV requirement each month used to be only $100 for promoters to stay active. That's super interesting and I wonder when that changed.

[@aweeds84]

That's how it is now.

[@Anna-dd4rh]

My middle school science teacher (who I LOVED) is a shill for Le-Vel now, so I get special joy out of seeing it ripped to pieces. You can cover it as many times as you want, I’ll still watch 😆 also you look radiant in this video!! Hope life (and Halloween) has been treating you well

[@theexeperimentdevelopment721]

I know a tippy top level Hun from Thrive. She was the sweetest person and now anytime she reaches out, it’s to try and push their crap. I’ve never bought it, but she keeps at it. I hate knowing that so many people have to lose money for her lifestyle.

[@dxtrememwe2215]

I got a friend who uses/sells this stuff. She flexes so hard that Thrive got her a car, and that she can travel, and all this stuff... And yet now she has to work a regular 9-5 to keep Thrive going.

[@gcoolie5272]

A friend tried to get me in Rodan & Fields a long time ago. “Retire your husband” was a phrase she used. I didn’t go for it in the end. 😮

[@rebecahelizabeth2924]

I ordered thrive I think for a 3 month supply? Anyways, it messed me up so bad I was having flu like symptoms and migraines and my doctor told me to never use these products again!!

[@coleadams1631]

How did you cancel? Can't get Support in drop down menu!

[@katelynnwho55]

I still have my old thrive account and Erin Bies said she couldn't find the disclosure statement anywhere so I filed a support ticket and inquired about the income disclosure statement and 2020 is the most recent one they've put out.

[@coleadams1631]

How did you find the Support menu to file. Please help me. I've been trying to cancel for months after my cardiologist recommend I stop using Thrive. Please help!

[@WonderKitty24]

My sister-in-law is in this one and is in HARD. And she uses her neurospicy son in a lot of her social media posts. And maybe one out of 20 posts is not about ‘the business’.

[@_rockseeker]

Happy Halloween, Isabella! Thanks for covering this again, this info needs to be shared as much as possible!

[@MEEE.com.]

Does anyone remember the mom from Colorado who was unalived, after her work trip with Le-Vel? She was a huge fan of thrive and I think it was pretty much an amphetamine

[@lollygagger9571]

Yes. Her name was Shannan Watts. Her husband killed her and their 2 daughters & unborn son. As soon as I saw the name of this company mentioned my mind went straight to Shannan 😔

[@gratefulmomma4207]

You should go down the watts rabbit hole. It's a crazy one.

[@aweeds84]

That's not true. Craziness doesn't happen from vitamins and there is no proof to what you are saying/assuming

[@UnIimited_Power]

"unalived" urgh you're a cretin.

[@melissachase1649]

@@aweeds84 but if it's so good for you. Why aren't ingredients listed. A humongous red flag first of all. Vitamins aren't even regulated to begin with. It's just a way to rob people.

[@LuMiLevelUp]

I‘m absolutely against MLMs, but have to put that out: patches/stickers to put on your skin/body absolutely can work. Our skin is our biggest organ and it can and does absorb, what we put onto it. It‘s not that diffrent to a cream or a face mask. Nicotine patches to help to quit smoking for example are stickers to put on you body aswell and absolutely can help. I don’t know that company and probably their products are way overpriced, but it‘s not correct to state, there’s no evidence of stickers/patches working at all.

[@DracoTriste]

Agreed. The patch just has to contain chemicals that can pass the skin barrier and is delivered in a form usable by the body- like caffeine or nicotine. And looking online at the ingredients, these are basically caffeine patches.

[@alexboocrossing3269]

Thank you for covering thrive! I feel like not a lot of people talk about it. It’s super culty and I know a lot of people involved with it. I almost fell victim to this mlm it needs to be talked about more

[@sarahinacan84]

Omgggg girl your setup is really coming together it looks great!!

[@dancobin1985]

I knew it was a scam when Shanann Watts had 20 racks worth in her basement.

[@mek0626]

Yes! And some people even think it contributed to Chris snapping. The extreme doses of caffeine made him sleep deprived and he was quoted as saying he didn’t sleep more than three hours a night while on the patches and it felt like he was on speed.

[@jencendiary]

@@mek0626 Nope. That's what we're not doing. Chris Watts is a man sound enough of mind to stand trial for murder. We're not blaming his victim for her death.

[@Zelda00Gamer]

@@jencendiaryI don’t think their comment was victim blaming. It was company blaming. They push the products they push the mentality of taking several products daily.

[@dawnfalvey6766]

@@jencendiarywho victim blamed? Comment was Shannon and racks of them. Doesn’t mean she’s to blame. Just stated a fact. The product itself is to blame(company making it) and like you said - Chris was a man of sound mind- and could’ve stopped taking it.

[@alan_navarro_0621]

Yes, there’s several videos of SW where she looks a little wired..... also Chris was using the newer dft patches called Burn, supposedly detectives asked for what he 2as taking but somehow SW higher up line gave them the regular DFTs not the burn.

[@gmanandhislady]

My cousin is part of this mlm, or she was, I'm not really sure now. She's has been doing Mary- Kay for a couple decades now, though. She had even quit her job to do MK full-time, and that didn't last long.

[@texastea5686]

I know one who got into it and apparently did well enough to get a Tesla ... BUT, her husband makes mega bucks as a software engineer, so even tho she doesn't seem to be doing Thrive anymore, hubby can afford the car payment

[@MNDY14]

Not necessarily about this company specifically, but just something to think about… While paying more doesn't necessarily guarantee quality, you can be assured the cheaper the supplement, the more likely it contains synthetics and poorer quality ingredients in general. The quality of the ingredients definitely varies and effects efficacy.

[@mattgonzales774]

"lifestyle capsule" lol gfto 🙄 btw you're looking radiant isabella!

[@tmkmakeup1171]

The person on my FB friends list that is in Thrive, literally told me that she uses Klarna to buy her Thrive stuff. And she is currently working toward earning the "free car". Shes currently working as a pharmacy tech (we met in college), but she wants to quit that and do thrive full-time.......

[@amberboughner5901]

I'm watching this to decide if I should keep taking thrive or not. I have to correct your 6 patches. There are actually 30 patches a month or 60 of you are doing the duo patches.

Im on this video because i noticed an older woman in pheonix arizona who was ny family's Lyft driver was selling Le-Vel's thrive products and she was wraring the hand/arm stickers. I had to look into it because there was a brochure in her seatback pockets, and i was curious about if thete was any actual science behind this product or if it was kind of woo, since our driver lady had hippie vibes/nazar eye beads on her carseatback caddy.

[@TheRecoveringLiberal74]

They aren’t. She was dead wrong on that one. I went to the sight to see if that was true and it was not.

[@DracoTriste]

I also went to the website and the packages are in fact $66. But it doesn’t even say how many are in each package. Some varieties have a picture showing 12 patches, others have a picture showing 30. I can’t find the quantity of patches per package anywhere. So a package of a mystery quantity is $66. Maybe it’s 6, maybe it’s more.

Thank you for highlighting level. In my opinion this company is one of the most predatory and damaging to families

[@Threekuletz]

Please make sure that when you do a vlog like this that you’re details are correct. As for the protein shake, they are actually getting 2 packs of 16packets for that price. They get to pick 2 flavors(it is one month supply). And for the patch, it is not 6 patches, that is also good for a 30 day supply. I know because I use them. And they are not magic pills, of course you still have to workout and have a healthy diet. These are supplements.

[@katiejensen5547]

Thrive has been pushed to me more than any other new age mlm besides lularoe

I get my vitamin B12 supplements from dollar tree for $1.25, its the same thing.....B12

[@MNDY14]

No hate whatsoever, but this statement is inaccurate-paying more doesn't necessarily guarantee quality, but cheaper supplements are typically comprised of lower quality, less active or less potent forms of nutrients, and often contain fillers and undesirable synthetics. Cheaper products use inferior raw materials to make their supplements, and B12 is a super good example, as it comes in 3 different forms (I’d be willing to bet a dollar version is using the cheapest version, which is a synthetic and much less effective and harder for your body to absorb) The quality of the ingredients used in anything absolutely makes a difference, and it’s important to remember that not all raw materials are created equally-especially when it comes to your health ❤

[@brendaradziwon-zapora4450]

I've been approached... They say if you get two friends to order the 3 steps (vit pack, shake, sticker) you get yours free.... It's soooooo easy... That's how they push it sometimes, just sell to 2 people a month and yours is free!!! WOW!!... Lol...Then it's buy samples , sell them .. 3 day sample was $25.... Nuts!!!!!

[@UnIimited_Power]

The sticker helps you with weight gain by tightening that area of skin and preventing it from expanding, the excess fat that would've occupied that area then gets ejected from your body. For optimal results, cover your entire body with the stickers, or at least make a "belt" of stickers around your waist.

[@Ithinkyousuckrealbad]

I’ve been pitched these products before. Fck thrive

[@elisa-beary]

I recently heard that Thrive market had/was an MLM & was confused. This is the same logo. They said they started thrive market to basically do what Amazon did for the grocery industry. Cutout middle man, stores, marketing, etc. it was a great idea, they had great prices. WTF did they have to start this? && w/ the same/similar things they sold on their app late 2019 when I was using the site for a few months & enjoying it. They had thrive brand collagen, protein powder, supplements for a far more affordable price w/ great ingredients. Aaaaaand they ruined it. It couldn’t go against their initial mission more if they tried. 😤

Make sure to get your facts correct before giving a review. I expect that maybe someone from level may be sending a lawyer your way. And just an Fyi My wife does very well with income and drives a car for free through this company. You have so many untruths in this video that you deserve whatever level lawyers throw at you.
