Dr Gabor Maté, the renowned speaker, physician and bestselling author.
He has written several bestselling books including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction. Which is based on his findings from twelve years practicing medicine in Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside, North America's most concentrated area of drug use.
As well as addiction, he is known for his expertise on a range of topics including stress, the mind-body connection and childhood trauma. Through his work, he is reframing how we view all human development.

THANK YOU for this!!! Thank you both greatly for the work you do in helping get the word out about trauma and healing. I am a new but huge of Dr Mate's work and wish this interview could have gone on forever…. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you . Wow . Really appreciate both Brian and Dr Mate'being so thoughtgul and open. Thankyou for being a power of transformation and sharing your journey and those of other heroes.
The yoga teacher that Gabor reffered in this interview, goes by the name of "Sadhguru". Sadhguru is a person with immense knowledge, wisdom, and following. It would be interesting to have Sadhguru on one of the episodes with Brian.
"…from Bulgaria… further from the West… so I think she's more intuitive" – well, why do you think so?
This was definitely a real eye opener ! And life changer for myself. This interview gave me clarity and understanding for a lot of issues in my life at this present moment. I'm glad that I invested my time into this wonderful interview! It's defin worth watching!
Thank you Brian for having such interests, which enable us, viewers, to get a deep knowledge regarding topics as important as this one!

Great flow and amazing realisations and information.
Many thanks for her to this out to us all.
Love it. Continue the great work.
Dr. Gabor Mate was recommended to me by my fiance. I have listened to him a little in the past, but I have recently come to learn that me and my fiance are the only 2 stable, responsible, people in my 9 month old grandson's life, who are not using substances and alcohol. We are preparing our lives to include a child. I started listening to Dr. Mate daily a few days ago because I want to make sure I am the best parenting, grandmother I can be.
Brilliant. With regards from Vancouver.
Me too! I'm grateful for it now though as it opens the door to healing the past and doing what we can now…..
