In this inaugural episode, Silvia dives into her Chilean roots and her early life growing up with four sisters in Vancouver and around Canada — including her time as a free-spirited anti-war demonstrator, as a “radical empath.” She candidly discusses her own struggles with eating disorders and so forth, and how those experiences helped her understand the psychological and emotional needs that are in play when working with her clients. She also talks about author Michael Pollen, whose works study the sociocultural impacts of food, and the influence that he had on her life.
