In this episode…
Like most people dealing with depression, you’ve probably tried everything—therapy, medications, lifestyle changes—but nothing seems to work. So what if the answer isn’t in taking more pills or sticking to the same old treatments? That’s exactly what Sylvia Covelli, founder of the Healing Depression Project, discovered.
After 25 years of struggling with depression and cycling through over 60 failed treatments, Sylvia realized it wasn’t about managing symptoms—it was about healing the root causes. She found a new way forward by connecting the dots between body, mind, and spirit and created a comprehensive approach to overcome depression for good.
In this episode, Sylvia unpacks why traditional methods fall short, how the body holds the key to mental health, and why holistic, functional medicine can provide lasting relief.
We explore the gut-brain connection, the impact of trauma on chronic depression, and the science behind Sylvia’s program—an innovative blend of functional psychiatry, metabolic health, and trauma-focused therapy designed to tackle depression from every angle.
