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.
