In this episode of Raising the Circle, we speak with Sophia from @SofiaCitron – a plant-based chef, holistic nutritionist, and researcher whose work spans workshops on sustainable food systems, biodiversity, and regenerative agriculture, to community events that put those ideas into practice.
With training in Integrated Food Studies, ethnobotany, and holistic nutrition, her approach blends science and food to explore the deep connection between what we eat, how we live, and the stories we tell through food.
Together we dive into three big themes:
Food as everyday activism – choosing plant-based, seasonal, and locally grown ingredients, supporting regenerative farmers, and being ethical (even when budgets are tight).
Regenerative food systems & biodiversity – why soil is “the skin of our planet,” monocultures vs. mixed crops, sensory workshops that reconnect people to flavor and variety, and practical ways to start local.
Food & women’s health – living (and cooking) with cyclical bodies, nourishment before, during, and after menstruation, herbs and whole foods that can support hormones.
This episode invites us to see eating not just as consumption, but as participation in a living system.
