Truehope participant Laurie Pinard will be a guest on this week’s episode of the Holy Hormones Honey! radio show.
Laurie was one of the 2012 CAMIMH Faces of Mental Illness. At 44 years of age, she has fought her way back to health from the edge of darkness and despair. She lost everything she had, and she nearly lost her life.
Today, she dedicates her life to giving hope to anyone who suffers from mental illness with the message that it’s possible to get well and lead a fulfilling, productive life.
Throughout young adulthood, Laurie struggled to understand the dramatic highs and lows of her emotions, and it was not until her early forties that she received the correct diagnosis of bipolar disorder. She sought help in the form of psychiatry, nutritional supplements, exercise and diet because medications never worked for her. Through this multifaceted support system, Laurie found a strength and resolve she never knew she had.
Laurie will appear on the Holy Hormones Honey! radio show on 3 October 2013 at 9:00 a.m PDT/11:00 a.m. CDT.
