The Maple Podcast

Maple magazine editor-in-chief Katharine Herringer connects with Dr. Gabor Maté, the acclaimed author of multiple New York Times Bestselling titles, including his most recent, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture. After four decades, Maté has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of "normal" as false. Neglecting the roles that trauma, stress and the pressures of modern-day living exert on our bodies, minds and at the expense of good health. We explore how this effects women's health in particular, as well as the intergenerational trauma within indigenous communities in Canada.
