The Story of Zive

The adage goes, "You are what you eat," but let's be real, it’s more like, "You are what you metabolize and absorb." Introducing Zive 7, your new BFF for digestive health!

Bringing Zive 7 to life has been a wild ride—over 25 years traveling the globe across six continents and reaching 60+ countries to help millions with their digestive challenges.

Every epic tale starts with a life changing challenge. For Mark, the struggle with gut issues hit close to home. Watching his dad suffer with massive digestive challenges and later his wife Abbi battle IBS, acid reflux, leaky gut, and more, he knew something had to change.

As a nutritionist, Mark understood that gut health is key to balancing blood sugar, boosting metabolism, optimizing hormones, and reducing bloating. Although he taught clients about healthy eating, he knew that factors like genetics, stress, hormones, and sleep also played big roles in digestion.

In 2014, we launched our first digestive health product, refining it in 2016 and 2021. These versions helped many, including Abbi, but didn’t fully solve her problems. Mark teamed up with top experts and Dr. Anna Toker in 2022 to create Zive 7. Using cutting-edge tech, they revolutionized gut health.

It’s the first of its kind, with ingredients working together to make you a gut health superhero. For Mark, the best part? His dream of transforming Abbi’s digestion came true with Zive 7. Mission accomplished! And the cool thing, creating Zive 7 is just one piece of our digestive and blood sugar revolution. Education is key to gut health and overall well-being. That’s why Zive 7 is a product of PFC3.

PFC3 is a holistic body-mind-lifestyle approach created by Mark Macdonald and Carrie Lupoli. It builds on Mark’s blood sugar expertise and is powered by Carrie’s award-winning knowledge as an educator, behavior specialist, and nutritionist.
