The Food Allergy Brain
The Food Allergy Brain is a podcast hosted by Mia Silverman, the food allergy advocate behind Allergies with Mia. The show explores the intersection of food allergies, psychology, and human resilience. Through thoughtful conversations with leading psychologists, researchers, clinicians, and advocates, Mia brings emerging science, expert insight, and lived experience together in one space.
The mission of The Food Allergy Brain is to offer grounded, accessible education for individuals and families navigating life with food allergies, while addressing the emotional, cognitive, and social realities that often go unseen. By centering both research and real-world experience, the podcast aims to empower listeners, reduce stigma, and deepen public understanding of the mental and emotional dimensions of the food allergy journey.
