Summary

If you were to ask nutritional psychiatrist Georgia Ede, M.D., what’s the number one factor causing increased levels of anxiety in today’s generation, she’d passionately tell you that poor nutrition is the foundation of our struggles with mental health. Tune in as she sits down with mbg Founder and Co-CEO, Jason Wachob, and discusses what we should be eating to ensure optimal mental health—from our mood, to stress, sleep, concentration, and energy. Her own personal experience as well as what she’s seen with her clients has definitely surprised her, and I’m sure her tips will be a little unexpected for you as well (hint: It’s not your average plant-based eating plan!)
