First inspired by the work of Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Dominika has focused much of her career on helping her patients connect the dots between early adversity and trauma and their impact on lifelong health and well-being. She knows that the reversal of chronic illness involves the nervous system, and so she has dedicated her practice to helping patients master their own nervous system to positively influence their mind and body, behaviours and ultimately health outcomes. Her explanation of disease doesn't pathologize or blame, but is nuanced, humanized and filled with hope. She trained with various psychologists and experts in the field of psychological trauma. She incorporates the principles of neuroscience, attachment theory, mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory and compassionate inquiry in her approach with patients. Combining these with her naturopathic training, she likes to say that she works at the intersection of science and human experience.

In This Issue: Perimenopause: Proof Your Body Has Been Keeping Score Audio Version (3 minutes 11 seconds) Text Version (~3 min) Dear Reader , Perimenopause went from barely discussed to being thrust into the cultural spotlight between 2021 and 2026, fuelled by candid celebrity conversations, social media communities, and mounting pressure on the medical establishment to take women's midlife health more seriously.
