Trivida didn’t begin in a gym -- the light bulb went off in the locker room of a football arena, and the passion grew in a hospital. Founder Corey Feldman was an athletic trainer and Physician Assistant first. Rehabilitation, western medicine, and emergency care -- he learned these skills because he believed in customized, collaborative healthcare.
While working as an athletic trainer for the Colorado Crush and Denver Broncos, Corey discovered two things:
So, why don’t everyday people, like you and us, have access to the same?
Inspired, Corey completed a Masters in Medical Science and became a Physician Assistant. But, he ran into a problem. As a provider, he only had seven minutes to listen to his patients, diagnose, and treat.
He struggled to make an impact that could change their lives. The turnaround came when Corey met a 55-year-old man named Doug in the emergency room. Despite following all the recommendations western medicine had to offer -- from taking his medication to having regular checkups -- Doug was admitted to the hospital with chest pains.
The chest pains turned into a massive heart attack. And Doug left the world, his wife, and children behind way too early. Corey knew if he met the man ten years earlier, he could have taught him how to eat better, reduce stress, take supplements, and potentially change the path of his life.
So, in 2013, Corey created Trivida to integrate personal training, nutrition, and functional medicine.
