From Chronic Pain to Relief: How Anthony Found Unexpected Support Through 4Life

Anthony had been living with Crohn’s disease since 2014. The condition brought intense intestinal cramps, regular hospital visits, and required a bi-weekly syringe treatment with Humira, a powerful immunosuppressive drug.

“I just learned to deal with it,” Anthony says. “Every few weeks I’d have cramps so bad I couldn’t eat or move. It was normal for me.”

Living with Crohn’s meant constantly adjusting his life around unpredictable situations and not being able to pursue the life he wanted. That changed when Anthony was introduced to 4Life through the Talent Trainer program, a structured initiative that connects professionals from diverse backgrounds; medical, entrepreneurial, and beyond. under a shared interest in immune health and personal development.

His first impression wasn’t just about the products, it was about the people.

“I got introduced by Suzanne, a nurse, and quickly met Annemarie, Marcel, and Henri. They were all professionals with real experience. I remember thinking, ‘These people know what they’re doing.’ That gave me confidence.”

At the time, the Talent Trainer program was evolving. Anthony recalls being there during a key transition when the website was restructured to differentiate between “Talent” and “Trainer.” The speed and strategic clarity of the shift impressed him.

“They were always a step ahead. That was reassuring. It made me trust the process, even before I fully understood it.”

When it came to the products, Anthony started with a variety of different products such as RioVida, the chewable Tri factors, and Renuvo. But the real turning point came when he decided to try Transfer Factor Plus, after hearing a seasoned entrepreneur with years of experience in the 4life business with over 17,000 customers consistently recommend it as a foundational product.

Shortly after, Anthony set off on a four-month trip through South America. He couldn’t take his regular medication with him since it needed refrigeration, so he took only transfer factor plus. It wasn’t meant to be a test. He just wanted to travel and “see what happens.”

Two months into his journey, something unexpected occurred: he noticed he hadn’t had any cramps.

“I was in Colombia when I realized it. No pain. No symptoms. I hadn’t even been thinking about my disease,” he says. “I just lived my life.”

He ordered more of the product during the trip and continued taking it throughout his travels and after returning home. Now, more than 11 months later, Anthony has remained practically symptom-free. That said, the disease will always be something he has to take into account. He still has to be mindful of his condition and live with a certain level of awareness. It’s not as simple as doing whatever he wants, whenever he wants but the Transfer factors he takes on a daily basis make it much easier to cope with Crohn's disease and let him live his life the way he wants to.

“For me, it worked. It’s the first time in over a decade that I’ve gone this long without pain, even while off my usual treatment.”

It’s not a story of overnight miracles, but of a series of decisions that led to a major change. Backed by scientifically proven products, supported by a clear framework, and anchored in years of dealing with a chronic condition.

I want to personally thank Anthony for his openness, honesty, and willingness to share this chapter of his life. Stories like his are what give real meaning to the work we do. It’s a privilege to be able to pass this on. Without people like Anthony, willing to speak up and reflect on their experiences, none of this would have the same impact.
