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.

Those tools matter, and they are not going anywhere. But over years of practice, I keep coming back to the same thing. Chronic illness rarely arrives suddenly. It accumulates quietly, over months and years, as stress and life's demands draw down the reserves you rely on to keep your body...
In This Issue If You're Going To Use AI For Your Health Questions, Use This Hangriness Is REAL.
