Summary
A renowned speaker, and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics including addiction, stress and childhood development.
Rather than offering quick-fix solutions to these complex issues, Dr. Maté weaves together scientific research, case histories, and his own insights and experience to present a broad perspective that enlightens and empowers people to promote their own healing and that of those around them.
After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness.
Dr. Maté has written several bestselling books, including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction; When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress; and Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder. He is also the co-author of Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers and The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture.

| 0:00.0 | This episode is sponsored by yet another incredible company that I stand behind fully, |
| 0:04.9 | and that is Bubbs Naturals. |
| 0:07.1 | Now, I've not only used Bubbs products for four years now, |
| 0:11.2 | but I've also had the founder, Sean Lake, on the show twice. |
| 0:15.2 | And they are offering you the audience of the Behind the Shield podcast 20% of your entire order and I will give you that code in a |
| 0:22.5 | moment. Now, Bubbs has a very powerful backstory. Glenn Bubb Doherty is one of the two Navy SEALs |
| 0:30.2 | killed protecting the CIA facility in Benghazi and wanting to honor his best friend, Sean stood up this company. |
| 0:39.1 | Now, it began with their flagship product, which is their collagen. And I have to say, as a |
| 0:44.2 | Brit with really dry skin, who's now 51, I cannot underline the importance of collagen in your |
| 0:50.7 | diet. I have seen a huge positive impact on my skin, nails, hair, and most |
| 0:56.6 | importantly, digestive system. Another thing that I use religiously is their MCT creamers. That's the |
| 1:03.3 | part of coconut oil that is good for our brain. And they come in dairy and non-dairy, depending |

| 1:12.5 | creatine about three months ago and that was primarily because it's been proven to improve |
| 1:18.4 | cognition and brain health. But not only did I witness that, I also saw an improvement in my |
| 1:24.5 | performance, my lean muscle mass, and even a reduction in inflammation |
| 1:29.2 | and sports injury pain. Now, in addition, Bubbs makes apple cider vinegar gummies, vitamin C, |
| 1:37.3 | and their hydration product, hydrate or die. And several of these products are also NSF certified, which is the highest level of certification |
| 1:46.4 | as far as efficacy and cleanliness. Now, one of the most important elements of this company, |
| 1:52.2 | in my opinion, is that they are a social business, meaning 10% of their profits go to charity, |
| 1:58.6 | and in this case, it is the Glenn Doherty Foundation. |
| 2:02.0 | Now, as I mentioned before, they are offering you the audience of the Behind the Shield podcast |
