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.

*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.

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.
