Thrive Clinics

At Thrive Clinics, I spent an entire hour in the office for my first-ever doctor’s experience, where my well-being—from head to toe—was truly discussed. This wasn’t about quick fixes or prescriptions; it was about understanding my whole health. It felt personal, caring, and complete.

Let’s Meet Erin

Erin Skinner, MS, RD, LDN, IFNCP, is not your average healthcare professional—she’s a military veteran, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and a mom of three! With over 14 years of experience, Erin began by helping military aircrew and special forces optimize their performance through nutrition. After her own frustrations with traditional healthcare, she found her passion in integrative and functional medicine. Now, she’s on a mission to get to the root of health issues while making affordable, insurance-covered functional care accessible to everyone.

What Does It Look Like?

At Thrive, you’ll start with a primary care provider who listens to your concerns and follows up thoroughly. If needed, you can then be connected with a nutritionist to help you build sustainable, healthy goals. It’s healthcare that grows with you!

🌱 Even better, Thrive offers holistic healthcare that’s fully covered by insurance. Their integrative approach focuses on healing from the root, providing comprehensive, whole-person care that truly makes a difference.

✨ Frustrated by traditional healthcare or costly options? Thrive provides an affordable, ongoing plan that addresses the root causes of your health concerns, with all the support you need to stay on track.

💪 How to Book: The easiest way to schedule your first visit is by completing their Get Started form. Their onboarding team will reach out to answer any questions, collect your intake details, and get you scheduled!

🔍 Insurance Coverage Insights: Currently, 98% of Thrive patients use insurance to cover their care. They accept BCBS, Tricare, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, MedCost, and First Carolina Care. They also offer limited coverage for Medicare and Medicaid.

It’s time to meet Alex!

It’s time to meet Alex – lover of people, community, and collaboration!
