Wow… thank you so much for this!

Things that did not happen is also something that happened - neglect for example.

I mindfully overeat 😅

Yes. A splendy trendy fellow. Putting the task to the nipple ...yes. No men have anything to do with stress. Yes. I know the Coke system in mid-Mexico, overworked truck drivers must collect the money or not get paid. But women must be the cure. Females are required (by god) to provide the cure in a world where men must be manly strong and protective or rageful but must reject, avoid or never learn to practice intimate emotions of affection. A plastic nipple held by an emotionally close caring truly chemically caring human can work.

How about weight loss and the healing of addiction? As a human, you have a physical body and an energy body. Your energy body is inside and surrounding your physical body and is commonly referred to as your aura. The inner core of your aura holds the borders of your physical body. Within this storage information system, negative emotions get energetically entangled with your core aura and will now attract fat to your body. How? By gobbling up stress related to the emotion, the host within you. So, you go on a diet and these negative emotions will give up their gobbled-up stress bringing you to your chosen weight goal. But as soon as you stop your diet and stop suppressing the emotions, they will go back to eating and you're soon back where you started from. Actually, that's not true. The stress experienced in keeping to your diet may well have produced even more negative trapped emotions leading you to gain an extra number of pounds a month down the line. DON'T DIET! Deal with negative emotions & the experiences they represent. Expelling emotions presently trapped/buried in your soul is how. Silent meditation is "a" tool. Addiction. If you have an addiction you have one or more of the following: [ ] A weak self-will. [Usually due to abundant subconscious negativity of all kinds] [ ] An influencing soulless entity. [s] [Established belief with a life of its own] [ ] An influencing entity. [s] Physically deceased spirits who roam the Earth in search of experiencing their still existing addiction, experiencing it with and through you. [Drugs, Alcohol, Spending, etc.] [ ] A demon. [s] Demons enter the energy aura of unsuspecting individuals who are subjected to and or, pursue evil pleasures. A demon's job is to destroy you. Keep you from the healing truth. A demon will make his thoughts feel like your thoughts. Bombarding and attempting to manipulate your mind and actions. Just like 2,000 years ago, a demon must be extracted for the addiction to be more than managed but actually healed. [Hey, where did you think all those demons and spirits went from 2,000 years ago? These beasts of the other side are still with us and we don't give them the credit for our demise that they deserve.] Heal your soul and you'll naturally expel/sufficate your demons.

....okay, but where is this totally enlightend buddha putting his poo poo?

Awesome talk!

So please please tell us so how we break this addiction

Who cleaned up the Bhudda’s pee and poop as he meditates for days on end? That’s what I’ve always wondered…that’s probably totally sacrilegious😂

People eat to get the dopamine hit from the sugar. The dopamine hit is the substitute for authentic joy, calm, peace, & balance. The hit is also to medicate/numb the deep pain from trauma. Also, Big Food has made junk foods so addictive & so highly destructive to the body & WAY too available. Then, Big Pharma domino is put into play when profound metabolic damage occurs from people being in ongoing food addiction + junk food consumption, & they go on multiple drugs to (ineffectively) treat the metabolic disease & many other diseases that are related. Healing the trauma + actively changing one's relationship with food are the road back to health & balance.

This one misses the mark for me. It’s ok love him

I did some of that in my younger yrs...eat and purge. Now due to HPA axis dysfunction, I'm too skinny and wish to gain.

Beautiful soul ❤

I lost 120 lbs. in 9 months by changing my mind.

Love everything you have said as it makes soooo much sense !! You are one of the very few who gets it !! Love listening to you x x x

Yeah when he says “there’s no point in telling people to eat less” the types of people who shame people who are addicts are just layering on additional trauma and stress.

What an amazing person!! I hope he lives forever, even if by just keeping his knowledge and words alive in our memories and others memories 😭🦧

This is a lot older than 2021. Premiered where? Trudeau been I power in 2015. That said, Dr Mate's a one of a kind. I'm from Vancouver too and had no idea about him up until recently. God bless him.

Orthorexia. Addiction to “ clean eating”. My dear friend has this….probably due to the fact that her abusive, alcoholic, father tried to poison her with food. She took over the cooking early on in her life.

I wish someone had asked him his views on whether hypnosis or some other form of mind control may be beneficial in treating the trauma that caused the destructive addictive behaviour not the behaviour but the root cause.

Most specialists don't want to deal with obese people because it lowers their successful surgeries. It makes them look bad to have a fat or sick patient have a bad outcome. They are more worried about themselves because of a competitive specialist market. But they are going to have to get used to it because more and more people, especially the elderly are needing surgeries, for osteoarthritis and more, and they are going to get it only from those willing to work on them.

Food becomes a substitute for our lack of emotional nourishment

Very simple and Straight Forward Information! 👍✌️❤️

It occurred to me when he read the description of the aboriginal father and son that the only person I have ever thought of as normal and non addicted is Jesus, the Son of God.

Thank you Dr Gabor Mat'e.

Does anyone know the book that Dr. Gabor Maté is reading?🤔

When I was young. Middle school and high school I remember wishing I was overweight - to take attention off me so I was left alone and didn’t have to deal with attention. Another view of obesity.

Wow, I hadn't heard of Gabor before, but I respect him so much after this video. It's rare to find influential people like this who are so real and genuine.

❤️

Knowledge is power! 👍🏽

Love listening to this man Medicine seems to be great when the body is overwhelmed and in crisis. Not so good for maintenance.

What if your trauma isn’t from childhood but the ‘normal’ stress and strain of surviving in a cutthroat world while raising children and caring for our elderly parents? I agree with everything about the emotional nature of addiction and the need for connection. Has all trauma to be from our childhood? I love Gabor but I have these questions.

This guys is incredible!

Wow! Thank you for this Dr Gabor

There is a bit missing here, and I couldn't think more highly of Dr. Gabor Mate, I believe. Food if for nourishment AND pleasure (etc). And sex is not just for reproduction, but for pleasure, attachment, etc (and BEING WITH the 'biopsychosocialspiritualecological' beings that you so articulately have taught us. THAT WE ARE -- in other lectures. So yes to what you say about food being not the problem but a way of coping with (another) problem. Yes over/undereating (when healthy food is abailable and we are educated) is on a spectrum of trauma....and all that you say else here.

thanks

I believing the soothing is one aspect of the problem. An important mind’s eye danger signal which triggers anticipation then danger then the survival instinct kicks in, then adjustment and reorganization is not there as well. The relationship between this brain disorder and ADHD’s deficits that allows for poor decision making and earlier death from not sensing danger for one’s well being and safety are related if not the same I have come to believe. The warning signal-triggering system is either not there or impaired and eventually is minimized almost beyond repair from the chemical effects from the constant exposure to the substances like carbohydrates that have been processed. The treatment needs to be the same as ADHD which is a lifestyle based on external cuing. External cues to make up for the internal cuing system for danger, for the why of saying no to the substance, then the cuing to support the adjustment to the healthy way. This is a lifelong need. There is no cure, it is lifelong management. Obese people are allowing dangerous behavior because the function of the mind’s eye didn’t develop at all or is impaired. Eventually the compulsive behavior because of exposure to the substance does enough damage to lead to addiction. External cuing management is the way. Eventually the person develops the habits from constant external cuing so that they come close to having the normal experience. That takes a lot of time and requires lifelong management. The deficit does not go away instead it is managed to the point of creating the feelings of normal responses to danger, 😅 concern. Emotional support is needed because it’s hard and lengthy until ease kicks in. Then when the person feels healed, they try to be normal which is a mistake but happens. That’s the cause of recidivism. The deficit does not get healed by external cuing, it gets managed to the point of habit formation. Habit maintenance stops when not attended to.

♥️👌thank you so much ☺️♥️😚

During the questions/comments, I love that he turns it into a conversation by saying I'm not a expert in that let's ask the experts here or he tells the man you tell me what you think about nervous system. Such is a true teacher and a man comfortable with himself not entrenched in ego.

Was literally turned away from a substance abuse treatment center a couple weeks ago and told to go to an eating disorder facility instead- if that doesn’t tell you how disconnected the behavioral healthcare system is

Gabor Maté is a gift to the planet.✨🙏✨

thanks

so wise

Hálásan köszönöm, ha lenne magyar felirat is 🙏❤️

Why Dr Mate never quotes the Psychoanalysts and takes words and thoughts as they were his...? Projection, unconciouss, repression, defense mechanism, and so on? Neves quotes Winnicott, M. Miller or M. Klein??? He says he sees the projection of parents on his children and does not quote Ana Freud???

Thank you Dr. Maté, for all your talks, and for mentioning that book. Definitely a must-read, I was amazed. Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us is a book by Michael Moss published by Random House in 2013 that won the James Beard Foundation Award for Writing and Literature in 2014. It also was a number one New York Times bestseller in 2013
