Vivian Shiu is a clinical laboratory scientist, medical science liaison, and lifestyle medicine coach committed to healing from the inside out.

With over 1.7 million blood test reports reviewed, she’s uncovered critical links between poor nutrition and chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and the hidden effects on both mental health and brain function.

Her work has also helped train physicians to look beyond symptoms and identify the root causes of inflammation and imbalance.  

She’s personally seen how addictive foods don’t just drain energy, cloud focus, and fuel anxiety and depression—they can trigger mood swings, throw off the brain’s signal system (neurotransmitters), and trap people in cycles of pain, inflammation,  chronic disease, and impaired cognitive function.  

As the founder of Food Soul Ties, Inc., Vivian empowers individuals to break free from addictive foods and restore their health through evidence-based lifestyle strategies—helping clients reverse diabetes, reduce medication, sharpen mental clarity, and build lasting wellness—one plate at a time.  

Vivian believes true healing comes when the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—is restored. That’s why she proudly supports Haz La Diferencia’s mission to bring hope, education, and transformation to communities.
