Dr. Gabor Maté is a Hungarian-Canadian physician, author, and speaker renowned for his work on addiction, trauma, stress, and childhood development. Born in 1944 during the Holocaust, his early experiences of trauma shaped his perspective on the mind-body connection and the impact of early childhood stress on lifelong health.
Maté worked as a family physician and later in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, providing compassionate care to marginalized populations struggling with addiction and chronic illness. He redefines addiction as a response to emotional pain and emphasizes the link between unresolved trauma and physical or mental health issues.
His bestselling books, including In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and When the Body Says No, explore these themes and advocate for holistic healing. A sought-after speaker, Maté inspires a compassionate understanding of health and well-being, addressing root causes rather than symptoms.
Though retired from medical practice, he continues to influence global conversations on trauma and recovery.
