The People Whisperer

Dr. Gabor Maté is known as the people whisperer.

Every time he comes onto my show, I end up opening up about my life in ways I haven’t before and Gabor provides insight I could never see myself. His interpretation of my addiction story has really opened up my eyes in ways that have helped me tremendously.

A renowned speaker, physician, and bestselling author, Gabor has written several bestselling books including the award-winning “In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction”, based on his findings from twelve years of practicing medicine in Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside, North America’s most concentrated area of drug use.

Addiction, Trauma & Stress

As well as addiction, he is known for his expertise on a range of topics including stress, the mind-body connection, and childhood trauma.

Gabor believes that addiction is manifested in any behaviour that a person craves and finds temporary pleasure or relief in, but then experiences negative consequences in the long term and doesn’t give up.

His work has earned him the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize, an Outstanding Alumnus Award from Simon Fraser University where he is an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Criminology and the Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award from Mothers Against Teen Violence.

I’m always very grateful to be able to spend time with Gabor.
