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.

Dr. Michael Klaper is a gifted clinician, internationally recognized teacher, and sought-after speaker on diet and health. He graciously accepts patient consults and lecture invitations. He graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine and served a medical internship at Vancouver General Hospital in British Columbia, Canada. Dr. Klaper received post-graduate training in surgery, anesthesiology and orthopedics at the University of British Columbia Hospitals in Vancouver, and obstetrics at the University of California Hospital, San Francisco.

After a fifty-year career as a primary care physician, Dr. Klaper’s full-time focus is the non-profit, Moving Medicine Forward, which provides education for medical students and physicians on the use of diet and lifestyle practices to prevent and, often, reverse chronic disease. In powerful, often “career-changing” lectures and discussion groups, Dr. Klaper presents effective, diet-based strategies to help resolve hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes and many inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

A long-time radio host and a pilot, Dr. Klaper has served as nutrition advisor to NASA’s programs for space colonists on the Moon and Mars and on the Nutrition Task Force of the American Medical Students Association. He is the author of Vegan Nutrition: Pure & Simple, producer of the “Master Class in Applied Plant-based Nutrition and Disease Reversal” and has produced numerous health based videos and webinars. He has authored articles for both scientific journals and the popular press and has contributed to the making of two PBS television programs, “Food for Thought“ and the award-winning film, “Diet for a New America” (based on the book of the same name by John Robbins).
Dr. Klaper teaches that “health comes from healthy living” and he is dedicated to the healing and flourishing of all living beings on our planet. Valuable information on nutrition, health and balanced living can be found at his website, DoctorKlaper.com: https://www.doctorklaper.com/.

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.
