1:44

good that's great well I really appreciate you coming on the show today we're going to talk about your experience with our products here at

1:50

true hope Canada and you work in a health store um in Ontario so maybe if

1:55

you want to tell us a little bit about like where where you work and maybe like how you found yourself to um you know

2:00

working in a health food store yeah so um

2:06

about five years ago I would say maybe four years ago um I was living in

2:11

Australia and I was starting to get homesick and I was a nanny there and um

2:17

I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do but I had been doing a nutritional course um here in Canada and so I got my

2:26

boss's email and I just started bombarding him with emails asking for a

2:31

job because I know that they weren't really hiring um as I was in Australia and

2:38

basically he ended up asking saying that I can come in for an interview and I got the job shortly back shortly after I got

2:44

back from Australia um I've Loved nutrition and

2:49

holistic health since well most of my life I would say because my mom's always been into it but

2:55

um getting into a little bit of After High School getting into the

3:02

university and kind of in a bad um spot in my life um lots of partying and that

3:09

kind of thing um as one does when they go to university oh yeah um and that

3:15

definitely did not make me happy and definitely put me down a little bit of a

3:20

rabbit hole and that's where I like started to really look into nutrition I dropped out of that course and started

3:25

taking a nutrition course I um ended up moving to Australia and just trying to

3:31

see a different way of life than what I was kind of surrounded by um when I got

3:37

home I started working at the health food store so I was very incredibly

3:42

Lucky by being um just influenced by really good people but I was definitely

3:49

right back into the same old stuff with my old friends and and everything like that um yeah you when you're in like a

3:58

small town and there's not that much to do normally everyone's kind of just in that drinking phase and sure it was

4:05

something that I definitely just put myself into and I seemed like I was

4:12

doing okay but in reality I was like working Monday to Friday to like feel good so that Friday to Sunday I could go

4:19

out and it was definitely like a slippery slope and it was not um I was not doing well um internally or mentally

4:26

or physically either um but keep in mind I was working at a health food store and

4:32

I was learning a lot and I was wanting to change so I was just on a journey to to learn and to want to do better and

4:40

that's kind of why I say from Monday to Friday I was doing all the things but then you know that that wasn't overly

4:48

the best way to be go about it um but you get influenced and you it becomes a

4:55

normal thing when you're just surrounded by that all the time um so yeah I ended

5:01

up quitting my at the health food store because of covid and um we moved to my

5:08

Cottage and I got a job shortly after that at a transportation company um where the environment was

5:15

equally not or was not good not equally good sorry it was it was basically like

5:21

a lot of young people and that kind of um environment and yeah I think that kind

5:28

of went into more of like my deepest um I I struggled with depression I had an

5:34

eating disorder at the time I definitely emotionally wasn't doing great even

5:40

though I looked like I was doing fine on the outside and um I never lost my

5:45

interest on nutrition or on um wanting to feel better um I think it's just easy

5:52

to get Sid swept into a different kind of way of life when you're surrounded by that um but not too long later I got um

6:03

basically I just yeah the Lord basically came into my life and I just needed a

6:10

different outcome or a different output and I couldn't work where I was working and he was guiding me to where I needed

6:16

to go so I slowly took different shifts at this job and I then slowly took a job

6:22

back at home um where I was just working from my house and that was like very isolating but during that time that was

6:30

where I was learning a lot and learning to surrender and and really believe in Jesus and um in that time I ended up

6:38

asking my boss if he could hire me back so that brought me all the way loop around and now currently I've been here

6:44

for two years now um at the hell food store got to work along one of my best

6:49

friends um the hell food store is called inside you and um yeah I've loved it and

6:57

I have found wonderful people and wonderful just a different way of life

7:03

and I've definitely gotten to um heal a lot um and then that's where uh true

7:11

hope entered and one of my old managers um always talked about it and originally

7:18

like the the best part that we loved about true Hope was just the fact that you guys got taken to uh Court by Health

7:25

Canada because um you won the case and

7:30

um that just shows how important minerals are for our health so um that

7:36

was something that I really really liked and I probably started taking it about two years ago um the with the Lord's

7:42

help and and with um just taking my nutrition um a lot more seriously I my

7:49

life changed like 180% um just a full circle and um I have

7:57

I've taken it I've taken it the full dosages before but then I've also just taken it as like a daily like upkeep

8:05

just one a day type of thing the ower um i' also taken the free Minos um can I

8:12

just can I just um ask you a question in regards to um finding the products and getting on them because obviously you

8:18

said beforehand you worked in the health food store and then you you moved away during covid and then you kind of came

8:23

back yeah what was it that you were being kind of told about our product s

8:30

that that made you because that you know you can hear about loads of different things whether it's in the nutrition

8:36

store or outside of it but actually like going to actually committing to using it

8:41

on a daily basis is is you know that's a little bit more of a a step a little bit more of a commitment to do so so what

8:48

was it that your um did you say it was your boss or your colleague was was explaining to you about the products

8:54

what was it about Empower plus that let's just say made you really want to

9:00

commit to consuming a good quality broadspectrum micronutrient on a daily basis I think um for so long I had

9:08

really been suffering um emotionally and mentally and I just I had tried a lot of

9:17

things um and I I do mention Jesus but I mean that was my he he saved me in in

9:24

the end but guided me to being able to take um good quality supplements and

9:31

them being able to work in my body and I had tried every different fat every different diet everything you know I was

9:38

trying to be more skinny or be more fit or be more like just more of the world

9:44

and none of those things ever brought fulfillment or brought um brought the

9:49

answers that I wanted and when I started working there again I don't know if it

9:55

was her telling someone else first or if she knew I was struggling because I

10:00

wasn't yet like free um I was still struggling and um

10:06

she we have a huge poster in our store and it's still there right now and um

10:11

you know it says all the things that helps with anxiety PTSD um depression bipolar schiz like we

10:19

know that we know of people who've taken it for schizophrenia and um I was I'm

10:25

not those things but there was a lot like anxiety and depression and things that I was fighting mentally that I

10:32

wasn't finding a fix for um and I just I think ultimately I from that and those

10:40

stories that she would tell me about people customers that would come in um I

10:46

know a handful of different people from then that took the product that they

10:52

were suffering with something who would you know get off of anti-depressants and I was never one to want to go on a

10:58

pharmaceutical I wanted to treat it naturally um and I just had great

11:04

respect for your company especially with the fact that you know there was red

11:10

flags for it because it was the claims that you guys made right um and so yeah

11:16

I just started trying it and I did try many other things I've gone on all different kinds of natural supplements

11:22

and mushrooms and different kinds of things you know but it was just something that was simple in my mind

11:28

that we don't get enough minerals anymore in our soil um unless you're growing your own food for everything and

11:36

um I just knew that I needed something extra for my body um that even if I eat

11:43

as healthy as I possibly can and way back in the day I was I had a completely

11:48

different diet than I do now and some would say that diet was healthy I say what I how I eat now is more healthy um

11:57

but I still know that I'm not getting what I need to get in this day and age like we just can't get that unless I

12:03

mean unless you can afford it or if you have your own farm right um yeah so

12:09

super yeah it's a really really good point because I I know I studied nutrition for a few years and I thought

12:15

previously before I went into studying I thought you know I can eat healthy I can get all of the the minerals the the

12:22

vitamins antioxidants and everything that I could possibly need through through diet you know I just clean it up

12:27

and be fine but as you say like you can consume the most incredible diet there is on the planet you are at 100% going

12:34

to be nutrient deficient especially in a day and age where our brains and our hearts are under so much stress and they

12:40

have such a high metabolic function that we need to be replenishing those especially with vitamins and to be able

12:47

to get minerals into the brain you know our product the minerals in empow plus are kated for four days other companies

12:54

it's for about 4 hours so our product the the minerals in EMP Power Plus are broken down so small that able to like

12:59

cross the bloodb brain barrier and actually get into the brain and affect it positively because you know we hear

13:05

so many people even in the matter of like hours sometimes but certainly days they start to feel their brain

13:11

functioning in a different way a lot of people who have struggled with like depression they feel that like that dark cloud lifts yeah so yeah it really is an

13:19

amazing product and I think that the the power of the the word of mouth of just product experience one person tries it

13:26

for something they feel such a positive effect and they tell everybody else because they want everyone else to feel

13:31

amazing and try this product that works really really well but then we also have the fact that we've got 35 peerreview

13:37

Medical journals all government funded that um right now on our website you're

13:43

unable to you're unable to check out because Health Canada feels that it's you know it's illegal to um share

13:51

truthful health information so we actually have these big red censored by Health Canada signs on those research

13:56

pages on our website but you can certainly find them from other locations but yeah we have so much um so much

14:03

positivity and evidence and Science and anecdotal um proof that this product is

14:10

incredibly powerful and your story is very similar to to many many that we've

14:15

heard before so I just want to I wanted to ask a bit more specifically about how

14:20

you maybe felt in the the first like weeks months of taking M Power Plus and

14:26

you know how you started to feel different yeah I I feel like

14:33

um I can't say that there was like one moment where it was like the cloud

14:38

lifted and I've heard many of those stories too from people that I've sold the product to um but I noticed the

14:45

biggest difference when I didn't take it um I had been working like a lot in on

14:52

myself and you know getting rid of a lot of other things in my life that I need to get rid of and also ch Ing and

15:00

lifting off of that um diet culture chock or uh way that you can get in your

15:08

head on foods and different things and I was really trying to get myself into a healthy um a healthy mindset and and and

15:17

whatnot but I think that I wouldn't have gotten there as quickly as I did without

15:23

the mineral like the right balanced of minerals in the Empower plus and when I

15:29

would miss a day even now like I I currently take it as my prenatal so I'm

15:34

eight months pregnant and that's what I take as my prenatal um and even if I

15:39

miss like just taking I take it currently two two and two and um if I

15:45

miss mine at lunch or whatever like I notice within a day and it can be like something small it doesn't even have to

15:50

be mentally but I just know I didn't get the right nutrients that day like I can feel it and um and I definitely know

15:59

that at the beginning when I first started taking it is if I you know didn't go in and and get a new bottle

16:04

and I ran out like I would notice and then I would kind of plumm it back into

16:09

not so great of thoughts and um and I noticed yeah more so in that sense than

16:16

just noticing the weightlifting off um but there's some incredible stories from

16:22

people that come into the store um I know of a lady that had lost her husband

16:28

and and she I try to get her to understand about the minerals and how

16:35

you know they all contribute to how we feel and um she continues to buy it to

16:40

this day which has been wonderful and she specifically came in and and she

16:46

didn't say like um you know I'm just going to keep taking it she said I've noticed a difference and like those are

16:53

the stories that just make like my heart full but also I just love recommending

16:58

the because I just love hearing things like that and there's all sorts of people another one is um like probably I

17:06

would say little less a middle-aged um man but if you saw him on the on the

17:11

side of the street like you would not think that he probably takes the time to take a mineral vitamin um and you know

17:19

he comes in month after month after month and I don't talk to him specifically on I was the one who

17:26

recommended the product I knew that he was struggling but um he he doesn't really talk much and

17:33

the fact that he comes in like just a single man by himself to buy this

17:39

product I know that you know it's working and that he's feeling a difference with it and um yeah the

17:46

amount of people that I know that have gotten off of anti-depressants taking it it all works differently in everybody

17:52

and like um sometimes I like to tell people when they come in you know we

17:57

need a solid Foundation of some kind of mineral of some kind of vitamin and you

18:03

come in with an issue I can shoot it would be like shooting in the dark right like I can

18:09

give you a herb or give you a homeopathic or whatnot for the the symptom you're feeling but if you don't

18:14

have that solid foundation of a vitamin where you know you're getting all your required minerals then you're really

18:21

just shooting in the dark because you're really just going to cover it up until we get that solid foundation and then

18:27

you know if you're still struggling with those things like sleep or you know a little bit of anxiety or whatever then

18:33

we we go from there but I just find it so incredibly important to have those minerals as that solid foundation before

18:42

trying to all these other things that people will try first right yeah I think

18:48

I think for a lot of people who have taken a multivitamin and have those like supplement sections in their in their

18:54

cupboard or in their drawer or something and they barely take it because yeah I like especially if you're buying stuff

19:00

from let's just say Costco or you know kind of R just more kind of crappier

19:05

Brands yeah people aren't going to feel those effects because they're not they're not covering the foundations because they're basically just peeing

19:11

whatever they're consuming out and it just ends yeah so just kind of flows through people but where when you start

19:16

taking a product like this and we had um Dr Bonnie Kaplan on the show which she's

19:22

the she's the author of this book the better brain really phenomenal book and she talks a lot about EMP Power Plus and

19:28

how she studied it like 20 25 years ago and continues continues to be involved

19:33

in the research she's in her 70s now but she she talks about how

19:38

vital just the vitamins and the minerals are in helping your body produce all the

19:45

right neurochemistry and it's not just about like you consume food and then you make dopamine or serotonin all these

19:51

other like neurotransmitters there's like very key steps to producing yeah those chemicals and you

19:58

need within that the co-enzymes to make that happen and you have to have the building blocks of those which is

20:04

vitamins and minerals and you need them in in an abundant Supply and it's 2024

20:10

it's a stressful environment out there people are physically stressed psychologically stressed meaning that

20:15

your body's going to need more and more and people's digestions are going to be compromised as well so they might not be

20:21

breaking down their food as as best that they can so being able to take a product

20:26

that you can absolutely rely on that you know on the label is in the product and you can actually very easily consume

20:32

this on a daily basis and and um know that you're going to cover those bases

20:39

is very very important for people and yeah I have so many even like I've been

20:44

working for True hope for years I've been a nutritionist for years and I still have friends who go to Costco to

20:50

buy their um multivitamins it's a bit of a shame but I know if they were to try try empow plus even for like a few days

20:56

they would certainly feel a big difference so yeah it's a big it's a big issue and you you've also shared some

21:01

really beautiful stories there and I think it just goes to show how wonderfully broad the positive effects

21:08

of this product can be you know we have um we have incredible research for people who incredible research on PTSD

21:16

depression anxiety stress you name it like some really big things schizophrenia bipolar but also like I

21:23

don't have any of those conditions but I I I take it as just like my daily just to keep me going like you know you're

21:29

you're you're eight months pregnant right now your body is in a just like a an absolute bombardment of nutrition

21:35

nutritional requirement so really smart to be able to take that product so you can take care of that but we're talking

21:41

about people who are know looking to get pregnant people who are pregnant um postnatal people with like serious

21:48

psychological disorders people who are just looking to just like cover their bases nutritionally this product is quite

21:54

amazing and we can't put all of that on the label so we've just got this EMP power plus you know um so we're kind of like bound a little

22:00

bit in regards to like what we can say the product can do but the evidence is there the research is there the stories are there we've had amazing people like

22:07

yourself come on the podcast and share stories about people coming into the store and like their lives get changed

22:13

by like this one product and you facilitated that for them so that M it must feel pretty amazing to be able to

22:18

see these people come in on a regular basis and creating those relationships and seeing those positive effects oh

22:23

absolutely I couldn't agree with you more like when someone comes in and I'll be like are you want a multivitamin I

22:30

always start there no matter like what the issue is really and that's just because I do have such a passion for

22:35

this product and um when they tell me it's like from Costco or whatever I know

22:40

everyone's in different stages they don't know everything and that's always my first go-to is like you know that's

22:46

you're barely absorbing that like let's get you on a good multi and let's see where that brings you first right yeah

22:53

um it's so so incredibly important that our body can absorb what we're Tak or

22:58

it's really just a waste of money and um and yeah the the ranges of people also

23:06

like you said it's so cool to see like young kids to um older people to to

23:14

everywhere in between female male you know it helps with them all and and when I first started taking it I was

23:20

definitely taking like more of the recommended recommended dose I uh

23:27

eventually just started taking it kind of as a yeah a daily upkeep because I I had been feeling the benefits but I

23:33

didn't want to stop and I I didn't need it really for the mental health part I just needed it for the mineral component

23:39

and um yeah then I got married um last year

23:45

and planning the wedding and whatnot I was I was also taking it um and I just I

23:52

just yeah I love the product throughout the every season of my life even the good and the bad it's just overall super

23:59

beneficial um but then yes I got pregnant and um I've been taking as my

24:06

preal and um I have absolutely loved taking as my prenatal

24:13

that's another really good story that I've heard from other women that come in and who I've recommended it to as well

24:20

is um one specific lady she has had three babies I think and each one she

24:27

had horrible morning sickness with and on the fourth one she took true hope um

24:33

and power and had no morning sickness at all um and you can say that's a

24:38

coincidence I don't believe that um I think that that's how powerful this stuff can be and I was so consistent on

24:45

taking it at the beginning of my pregnancy I never puked um at all I was

24:52

nauseous but I think that that was just a way of my body healing from past life

24:57

and also just for me time for me to slow down because I'm a very like on the- Co person so um I think it was much needed

25:05

in my body but I I didn't feel um I felt like it helped me emotionally while my

25:10

hormones were changing and I felt like it held I think without it I would have had morning sickness and um and then

25:18

yeah I've been taking it ever since throughout as well and and yeah there's you know there's never enough to space

25:25

to put on the labels but that's why you have people that love the product and can tell everyone everything you just

25:32

said but it's it's so true and um and it's just yeah it's definitely a

25:37

wonderful product and in different stages of my life it's been just as useful you know it doesn't matter that

25:44

I'm not depressed or or anything like that in this current stage um but it's

25:50

still just as useful now and I'm in my third trimester eight months and um I

25:56

have probably more energy than I did first trimester so um yeah I definitely

26:01

think it's so important and I do fully think that it's a like a lot to do with

26:07

um just being consistent on the the Empower for sure amazing yeah I think

26:13

that again like being able to rely on a clean quality reliable product especially like

26:21

during during a a time of pregnancy is just so invaluable because so unfortunately there's so many companies

26:28

out there who are producing really poor products in poor ways and we have um we

26:33

just have the we just have the research behind our products you know they wouldn't you know 35 perer review

26:39

medical journals you wouldn't be able to do that research in the scientific Community if you didn't have a um a

26:46

reliable quality product coming in into that research setting you know if it was a product that was 10% effective or 90%

26:53

effective or 50% you can't have that in that in that environment so being able to like you know every day being able to

26:59

do that research with with with the same products and the same ingredients is absolutely vital for that for that for that scientific research and that's why

27:05

we continue to produce a product with with such quality and I just wanted to touch on one thing in regards to like

27:13

the the financial aspect because being able to use Natural Health Products in

27:19

Canada is like you know low-income families can't afford it and health Canada is primarily behind that behind

27:26

that it's not the it's not the company that make really good products you know these are small these are small medium

27:31

Enterprises Mo most of the time and they're having to put their prices up because of Health Canada's um I don't

27:39

know how to put this politely on on a podcast but they have yeah they they they they've just H has just lost their

27:45

minds they've been trying they've been trying to push push these legislations through for for decades um they're

27:51

closer than ever at the moment in regards to completely wiping out certain products especially um mult multi-

27:58

ingredient products so we have a lot to work on that side note if you want to learn more about that go to the nha.org

28:05

um but yeah the financial aspect you know so if somebody has $30 a month to

28:10

budget for a multivitamin they're much better off just taking $30 worth of M

28:18

Power Plus that just might be one or even just two capsules a day rather than taking that full dose so that bottle

28:25

lasts you maybe a couple of months that is sign ific better for you than consuming a poor product from Costco I

28:32

don't know why we're bashing Costco today but um yeah we know let's just say those those poorer products out there

28:38

that are just like made in bulk and like you just can't keep the quality up when they come in boxes like this it's just

28:44

not possible so I just wanted to um mention that Financial issue for people because it is an issue it's a concern

28:50

especially in in uh 2024 it's March 21st right now we're recording this I'm not

28:55

sure when this is going to go out but we've got another beautiful tax rise coming up in like a couple of weeks which is awesome so we have to be

29:02

sensitive to these things for sure um yeah and one more thing on the pregnancy

29:07

and prenatal I can't recall the the significant details of this but I'm going to brush up on this with uh VP

29:14

David but there was research done with Empower plus um with pregnant mothers

29:19

and it's called the super babies trial um and I don't think it I don't think it

29:25

finished I'm not quite sure I'm not quite sure on the details but I know that there was some incredible results of of the mothers who were taking EMP

29:32

Power Plus to others who were taking I think either nothing or um just another

29:38

kind of off the-shelf multivitamin so that's I I'll try and find the link to that and share that but yeah yeah it's

29:44

super interesting and yeah your story is very similar to one that I've personally heard many many times that the um Empire

29:51

plus works is an incredible prenatal all the way through and even after birth

29:58

absolutely and that's that's definitely something I think you know it goes It

30:04

goes more often than not like it's not talked about the after after pregnancy

30:10

you know and a lot of women um come into our stor it's very very busy and you

30:15

know you see you definitely see women struggling and um to be able to supply

30:21

your body what it needs afterwards because of what you just went through is so incredibly important um yeah and I

30:29

totally agree with like the financial part I I normally people know me I think

30:36

for being quite open when they come into the store and I just I tell them how I feel even if you know if if they're

30:43

eating something I don't necessarily think healthy I'll say it and they don't necessarily think everything I eat is

30:48

healthy but I believe it is um and I'm just open in that way and normally I say

30:54

like you know there's this option that's still like from a good quality Source

31:00

that's maybe $20 cheaper um which is still going to be better than Costco but if you but my

31:08

ultimate recommendation would be Empower and if it is something that seems steep

31:14

if you compare it to the other prices or if you compare it to how you know you go

31:19

through that bottle in 30 days then take one a day like that that is better than

31:24

nothing 100% I agree with what you said and I fully I fully go by that because

31:31

you know if they take one of those or one Costco vitamin it's going to be a

31:36

massive difference in their life and I know it um and normally like when you do say it like that like it's really like I

31:44

mean for someone who's taking it six times a day you know it's gonna be horrible if the price goes up but yeah

31:50

that's just what we have to expect um but to be able to take it for 120 days

31:57

like that that is in very very cheap and if you think it's not then you know if

32:03

you just didn't buy the Tim Horton's Coffee once a day you would be able to you know work that in so I do think you

32:10

know one is better than nothing and um and yeah you would see some kind of

32:16

results because it's going to be more minerals than you're going to get on a daily basis anyways right absolutely um

32:25

I want to ask you about Trends in the he food store people coming in and asking you questions because I feel like it

32:32

probably changes with the season it changes with you know we went through Co and we're like kind of like in this postco era at the moment what are people

32:39

coming in and typically asking um asking about like what what leads you to

32:45

different products are they coming in talking about IM like are they looking for something to boost their immunity improve their digestion improve their

32:51

mental health like what are you what are you seeing at the moment with people coming in I think that mainly it's

32:56

stress um and no sleep um related and correlated I think majority of it um as

33:04

well as diets I feel like that's never not popular there's always someone coming in who wants to lose weight and

33:13

um literally for all of the issues unless it is you know someone that I

33:20

either know is already taking Empower or a a good source multivitamin um that is my first go to

33:28

for all of those issues diet included because I mean I like to talk a lot

33:34

about food I I have the background of nutrition as well and um we are country

33:39

land over here so you know I drink cow's milk and I eat cheese and I cook with a

33:45

lot of butter and that kind of stuff um and we can get on to the topic of you

33:50

know when the customers come in about food and I love to talk about that but I still think it's so essential that your

33:56

body is is in a stressed State and then when you're in a stressed State you're also depleting yourself in B vitamins

34:05

and you know empow is full of B vitamins but it's also full of all the other minerals that you need the essential minerals and um if you don't like I said

34:13

earlier if you don't have that solid foundation like your body is never going to you know let go of things of fat or

34:22

of mentality or for to let you sleep like whatever the case may be if you're not finding that balance um but yeah I

34:30

would definitely say majority of the time like there's got to be at least a handful of people who can't sleep um and

34:39

a handful of people that you know are trying to lose weight or can't seem to

34:45

lose weight um and then I think relatively like the stress and the

34:51

anxiety part is just always kind of up there where like you said we live in a stressful environment nowadays people

34:57

don't how to slow down or they can't slow down um so those are kind of the

35:02

top three things um and then I would say like Trend

35:08

specifically you see a lot of people you know wanting to come in for salt or for parasite cleanse or

35:16

um um like anti-inflammatory type of things

35:22

right but all of these things like I think we've forgotten in the in the last I think because of soci soci media and

35:28

because of how the world is now we forget like how um incredibly designed

35:34

our bodies are and how they're able to adapt and and they're trying to adapt to Keep Us Alive but if we aren't um you

35:42

know it's not about going on a new detox or about all these other things like yes

35:49

we need sleep of course that's important in our bodies but it it's really overall

35:54

just about getting you know your body to that that balanced state where it can do its job because our our bodies are so

36:02

incredibly smart like our liver so many people come in for liver detoxes and I

36:08

love to like switch to the lingo and tell them like let's get you on like a liver support you know um because our

36:14

liver's detox like that is its job like it's supposed to get it out and your Li liver can be stagnant of course our the

36:21

chemicals in the air nowadays like all of that stuff it all plays a role with our liver but overall that's what our

36:28

bodies are designed to do right so it's really about to me getting that balance

36:34

of of those minerals so that your body can work optimally because if you're so stressed out how is it going to ever how

36:41

is it ever going to be able to function to a good degree

36:47

if if you're depleting all your minerals right um at least that's how I like to look at it in certain aspects um because

36:56

I think most people want that that's just a quick fix for that one issue and

37:01

it's it really is all connected and it it really is you know something so small

37:07

of getting those minerals that can help everything your stress your sleep your

37:13

your digestion like all of that um but yeah absolutely yeah very very well said

37:19

I think in regards to the Sleep piece um taking Empire plus during the day can certainly help your body produce the

37:26

necessary neurochemicals to to ensure that you're going to you know be able to get into a into a sleep State and noral

37:33

works really well for me like there's a couple of days in the week where I will I play soccer in the evening and I don't

37:39

get home to like maybe like 9:30 or 10 which is usually like you know I usually go to bed at 8:30 9 o'cl I've got a two

37:45

and a four year old so I need to get to bed early to survive the morning um but

37:50

I take I get home I takes him a noral and I I I relax a bit trying to shift my body from that kind of stressful state

37:56

of exercising deep breaths shower things like that and like get myself into a bit of a sleep

38:02

State and The enoro Works absolutely wonders and it's also really great for the kids as well like when the kids are a bit riled up or they're kind of maybe

38:09

in between meals and they're like they're not hungry but they're a little bit

38:14

irritable a little spoon of inor and they they Cal right down it helps balance their blood sugar like pretty

38:20

quick it helps um take care of anxiety quick for a lot of people as well and it's also really super delicious like my

38:28

I absolutely love it it's such a yummy product it is it is yeah um just to

38:34

finish off wonder if you could give this like a just a few points in regards to like now why would you recommend people

38:40

try um Empower plus and our other products I guess here at TR Canada um

38:47

well I always love to tell them about the story I already said about you know the claims you've made and then going to

38:53

health Canada um or Court sorry um from health Canada um and it just that in

39:00

itself shows a lot of people who um maybe don't live that holistic of a life

39:07

that you know it's it's serious like that's how important these minerals are like the claims they made they won the

39:12

case like you know these all of the the um papers and everything on it like it

39:19

just shows that this is how important minerals are um and I love I love to

39:24

recommend it basically to to anyone at all like it doesn't really

39:30

matter what season you're in I normally like my first go-to is like are you want a good multivitamin because I just think

39:38

that you know it's I think it's become normalized in a sense of where people just go to Costco and get their

39:44

multivitamin but then it's not normalized enough to know like what the true benefits are um I love that it's a

39:52

Canadian brand as well and um I think I just I always talk very highly of your

39:58

company in the sense of you know how trustworthy it is um and that there's so

40:03

much information on your website and or via other um other areas if you if you

40:10

can't get on it but um you know it's all backed up and it's all it's all right

40:15

there and also there like true hope is willing to answer any questions so I always direct them to you know take my

40:22

word or don't but you can also go on the website and ask them and tell them your situ situation you know when I first got

40:29

pregnant I I emailed you guys and just said like you know I've been taking it as a multivitamin but I want to take it

40:36

as a prenatal um should I change my dosages like and whatnot and you know I

40:41

got an answer not that long later and they just basically said if you're taking it for current mental health

40:48

issues already then you might want to up the dose but if you're just taking it for a daily multi then just take the

40:54

full dose so I that's what I do is I do three twice a day or I take two two and

40:59

two just because it makes me feel better um but you're willing to answer the

41:04

questions that we have along with like the iodine drops I I take those and um

41:10

maybe some people won't like that because I'm pregnant but I I take them as well um I have also taken the anisol

41:18

and I've loved that product The Taste is great but I also found that it was just good for calming as well um and also

41:27

it's known for like um women's reproductive organs as well like PCOS

41:32

and stuff so I've seen cool results with women who take that for those reasons um but I think overall like all

41:39

the basis are covered with true hope and I think that the company itself stands

41:45

on a firm foundation and and really comes with the knowledge behind the product and um I'm not scared to say my

41:54

opinions on it because I know that if they go onto your website they're going to read exactly what I'm saying or the

41:59

exact way that I feel about the product um there's nothing hiding and in my

42:06

opinion I also just think you know when when Health Canada goes for a company or

42:12

goes for anything normally it's good so you know that's always another uh

42:18

another thing that I like to say to the people if they're into that kind of stuff as well yeah we actually have um

42:25

we have a PO series called the the true Hope Family files which is which is an eight-part special series here on the

42:32

podcast where we go through the whole story and timeline with true hope Canada

42:38

which kind of starts kind of like in the 70s it's like an eight part series it's very s very indepth and um it goes

42:45

through that particular court trial as well and I suppose the the short version

42:51

of it was that the yeah we we beat Health Canada in in in court

42:57

and the judge ruled that this product cannot be not available because it was saving the lives of Canadians and when

43:04

it was blocked at the border by Health Canada and they knew that this was going to happen it was causing suicides and people were and people were dying so

43:11

they ruled in our favor because this product absolutely works we had psychiatrists on the stand we had

43:17

doctors on the stand um saying listen if you take this product off the shelves and don't make it available for Canadians people are going to die 100%

43:25

so they ruled in our favor and we got to um continue to serve um people with with

43:30

this incredible product and what's amazing and what people should do is check out this eight part series and

43:36

learn more about the company and how it was birthed because it's birthed out of complete tragedy and once you understand

43:42

that you recognize this company isn't here to you know make billions of

43:47

dollars it's here to provide this product to basically not have other

43:53

families suffer in the way that the Stefan family has suffered and once you understand that the it kind of like

43:59

lifts a lot of the barriers that people might have in regards to like trying a product like this but we also love to

44:06

have a close and transparent relationship with our customers with uh our retail stores with a retail staff

44:13

you know we have some incredible trainings so the the staff members are equipped to be able to you know handle a

44:20

lot of the questions that come in from um from customers who come into the store looking for something for their

44:25

mental health for sleep or for stress whatever it might be so yeah we we really value value those close

44:31

relationships and if there's a question that we don't know the answer to straight away we will research it we'll

44:36

figure it out and we'll get back to people I um you really proud of the way that we do that here at TR hope Canada

44:42

because yeah it's so important that we recognize that every message that might come into our website or via social

44:48

media it could be an individual like really struggling with something so we owe it to them to be able to respond to

44:54

them in a timely manner in a professional manner and yeah if we don't know the answer to something we work hard to get it to them yeah absolutely

45:02

and I haven't mentioned freeos um but I also I I personally like I feel like

45:10

really good on just the Empower but I know a lot of the stories that I've heard from people getting off of

45:16

anti-depressants and and um you know those struggling with harsher mental

45:23

illnesses like bipolar schizophrenia the two combined I think is like I just

45:28

wanted to add that in there because I really do believe in the two combined for those kinds of um mental health

45:34

issues you see it over and over again that you know the amino acids are just as important as the minerals um and

45:42

those products we have them on our Shelf right next to each other because you know more often times than not people are grabbing one of both um and that

45:49

they work so well together um but I I realized I hadn't mentioned that but I

45:55

do definitely think that they are very very wonderful together as well as just

46:00

the Empower but yeah this this some of we we originally came out with Empire

46:06

plus and then the other products followed but the other products followed to work synergistically with each other

46:11

whether and we also saw a lot of gaps in the market primarily with our our iodine most iodine on the shelves before we

46:18

bought ours out was very inconsistent wasn't really um good quality so that's

46:23

why we kind of saw that Gap in the market and we we fulfilled that for a lot of people because you know thyroid health is obviously very important but

46:29

yeah Empower plus and free minus together is an incredible combination and we've seen so many people come off

46:35

Pharmaceuticals especially psychotropic medications people come over get over addictions and people who just like want

46:41

to take it as an everyday to like build muscle to build build strength build resilience it's a really great um

46:47

product combination for sure yeah definitely definitely amazing well Cassie thank you
