Silvia Covelli is the founder and CEO of the Healing Depression Project. As a former social science researcher at Harvard University and a chronic depression sufferer, she is dedicated to sharing the lessons she has learned while pursuing her own recovery. Her personal struggle, combined with her extensive background in human transformation and mind-body connection have enabled her to develop a program that erased 25 years of depression symptoms. 

Silvia’s interview with Bioenergetics Beat Host Heather Gray provides highly useful and actionable insights. “Feed your head” is one of them. Silvia notes that our attention to a healthy body too often ignores the steps necessary to create a healthy, depression-free brain. She discusses the mind-body connection and the importance of treating the body and brain as an interdependent team. We learn that diet and depression are closely linked. She also advocates for functional medicine and tracing the root causes of depression as a basis for a successful recovery plan. Trading bad habits for good ones and pursuing them with persistence. Silvia addresses managing depression as an inevitably recurring illness and avoiding drugs for temporary relief of a deeply rooted issue.
