In this episode of Truehope Cast, host Simon Brazier sits down with bipolar recovery expert Michelle Reittinger for an honest and challenging conversation about recovery, identity, and resistance to hope.

Michelle shares her lived experience with bipolar disorder and why her message of non-invasive, nutrition-based recovery often attracts intense criticism. We explore why some people react strongly when recovery challenges deeply held belief systems, how diagnoses can become identity, and why one person’s healing can feel threatening to others.
