Having been in business for nearly 20 years, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people find happiness, hope, and healing.
The first Truehope participants had bipolar disorder, so it isn’t that surprising that we have so many success stories from others who have bipolar.
Here are just 5 stories from participants with bipolar. Read how EMPowerplus changed their lives, and see if any of it sounds familiar to you.
1. Steve
Steve and his wife started using EMPowerplus to help their 5-year-old son manage his bipolar. When they noticed profound changes in him, he knew that it might work for his own bipolar, and he was right.
Because of EMPowerplus, he lost 135 lbs, improved his marriage, became a better employee, and took a more active role as a parent.
2. Monica
Monica Carsience shot into a manic high soon after she gave birth to her first daughter, Rebecca. She did everything (the laundry, clean, organize, knit, sew), except sleep, for 10 straight days. A year later, Monica let her Prozac run out and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and type two bipolar disorder. SSRIs and lithium followed.
Monica started EMPowerplus 6 years ago. Four months after starting, she had weaned off all of her medications and had no more bipolar symptoms; after 6 months, her fibromyalgia symptoms were also gone. EMPowerplus helped glue the Carsience family back together.
3. Pamela’s mother
As a child, Pamela experienced the outward symptoms of bipolar. Her brother and she were shuttled around the family while their mother went through her episodes. She was terrified of her episodes because she loved her and wanted to be sure she was safe. She knew that she went through hell while in institutions, but felt it was better than the paranoia and violent, erratic behaviour she had to experience while having an episode.
After starting EMPowerplus, Pamela’s mother is present, enjoying every moment of life, happy and “normal”. She can feel a full range of emotions and has not had an episode or showed any outward symptoms of bipolar. With each passing day, Pamela worries less about her mother’s stability because she sees only a happy, hard-working, well-adjusted, life-loving individual who is finally there for herself and her family.
4. Deborah
For 49 years, Deboarah experienced symptoms she didn’t know were mental illness, including depression, anxiety, social phobia, obsessive compulsions, fear, negative self-image, dark moods, crying jags, inability to focus, rages, and daily thoughts of suicide.
Her first day on EMPowerplus, she took only 3 capsules. The next day, she woke up with a feeling of calm she had never experienced in her life. It was a rocky few months, but as she overcame the drug withdrawal malaise, she began feeling stronger, and within 5 months, she secured a 30-hour-a-week job.
Without Truehope, she couldn’t have worked at GNC (where in her first year on the Truehope program, she filed 7 years of payroll for 3 stores and cleaned and organized the entire store and storeroom); she couldn’t have run her own business for 10 years, and she couldn’t have written a biography.
5. Larry
Larry suffered from depression and bipolar disorder for over 30 years before he found Truehope.
When Larry’s wife read an Alberta Report article about Truehope in a chiropractic office, she knew they needed to learn more. Larry contacted Truehope for more information and ordered EMPowerplus. With the help of his doctor and Truehope, he then made the transition from psychiatric medications to EMPowerplus.
The first year of taking EMPowerplus was rough for Larry. He endured medication withdrawal symptoms and longer-term residual effects of the medications. He also struggled to make important psychological changes.
