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.

*Are you a women who is ready to feel fantastic?
*Are you struggling with high blood pressure, your weight, or other chronic health concern?
*Do you want a natural, effective solution instead of just “management” of your disease?
*Have you tried your doctor recommended diet to no avail?

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.
