More than 20 years, I reversed crippling arthritis through a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. This experience ignited my passion for healthy living, for sharing my knowledge so you too can heal while you eat nutritiously and deliciously.

I understand the challenges (and triumphs!) of raising healthy eaters. As a mother of three, I have mastered recipes that children love.

A former café owner of Café by Tao, and a graduate of the FRN Plant-Based Coaching Certificate (PBCC), I now share my skills through coaching and teaching plant-based cuisine. For me, this lifestyle is more than a diet—it’s a path to healing, joy, and a healthier planet for all.

I am a Family Physician practicing in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I have an interest in Whole Food Plant-Based Nutrition as a means to prevent and reverse chronic illness.

Bonjour! I’m Guylaine, a 30+ year marketing professional with a passion for food knowledge and sharing it with people around me.

My love affair with food transformed in 2016 when documentaries inspired me to embrace a plant-based lifestyle for my health, the planet, the animals—and because life is too short for bland food! I discovered that food truly is medicine, and after mastering new foundations, I was back to freestyling in the kitchen, creating vibrant meals that delighted my family and friends. My approach: bold flavours, rich colours, and eating well 85% of the time. Inspiration, not perfection.

As a certified plant-based coach from The Food Revolution, I guide your delicious journey one meal at a time—following recipes or freestyling as you choose. You’ll learn incredible cooking techniques and discover what makes each ingredient wonderful for you. I’ll support you at your own pace with practical tips and smiles. Together, we’ll prove plant-based eating is about progress, flavour, and nourishing yourself beautifully. I will meet you where you are. Let’s cook! Let’s have fun!

As a passionate health and wellness coach trained through the Food Revolution Network, I specialize in empowering individuals to unlock vibrant health through the transformative power of plant-based nutrition. I believe that everyone deserves to feel energized, balanced, and confident in their body, and I love helping clients discover personalized, sustainable habits that truly resonate with their lives.

With a compassionate, supportive approach, I guide clients to break through barriers and embrace a lifestyle that nurtures both their well-being and the planet. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your plant-based journey, I’m here to inspire, motivate, and help you achieve lasting health and happiness.

Dr. Polak is a Canadian Medical Doctor who created a not-for-profit company to help women struggling with hypertension, weight issues and other chronic diseases to optimise their health and feel fantastic with science-backed nutrition.

Health and wellness are not just about reducing your symptoms, but about aiming for FULL REMISSION whenever possible, fully recovering your true self, realising satisfying relationships, overcoming self-defeating patterns, and achieving optimal physical and mental health through nutrition and lifestyle – all while minimising your risk of future chronic illnesses.

Dr. Polak promotes a constellation of evidence-based lifestyle modifications around nutrition (whole food plant-based, of course!), sleep, exercise, relaxation practices, and social connectedness.

Being half-Italian, she called it “Benessere,” which means “well-being” or “wellness” – and “North” for, well, Canada! She welcomes women worldwide, and in addition to English Dr. Polak speaks French, Spanish, and Italian.

I’m a consultant pediatrician and Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto. I completed my pediatric residency at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Prior to medical school I completed a Masters in Health Policy Planning and Finance from the London School of Economics and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Currently I work for the Scarborough Health Network and founder of Reset Pediatric Lifestyle Medicine Clinic. I have completed the Plant Based Certificate program through the T Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at Cornell University. I have spoken on multiple phyisician panels focusing on plant based nutrition for a pediatric population and lifestyle principles. I’m passionate about promoting a culture of wellness and resilience within physician and trainee communities through medical improv, meditation and plant-based nutrition.  My plant based journey started as a child from my mom, a life long vegetarian who impressed upon me the principles of plant based eating. It wasn’t until sixteen years ago though I wholeheartedly adopted a plant-based diet to improve my meditation practice and live an eco-friendly lifestyle. After years of trial, error and refinement I have been reaping the many physical, mental and spiritual benefits of this lifestyle transformation. As a result, I have developed an approach that I have been sharing with children and families to embody a family centred approach. In the spirit of prevention as an approach for children, I advocate to help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and fewer asthma flares all through a plant based diet. Having worked with numerous families I am passionate and confident in giving children and their families the best fuel for their wellbeing to maximize their potential.
