Summary
It may seem like every corner of the wellness space has been researched, everything has been studied and reported ad nauseam, that no new frontiers of modern health remain.
Today, Dr. Georgia Ede joins the show to outline her new book – Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind – and to smash that notion to pieces!
She is an internationally recognized expert in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Having co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for treatment resistant mental illness, she developed the first medically accredited course in ketogenic diets for mental health practitioners.
In today’s episode, we talk about how and why our diets and mental health are inextricably linked – but it goes so much deeper than that. She walks us through her own personal journey to healing, discovered through years of frustration and syndrome-related struggles.
Be sure to order Dr. Ede’s book for her expanded recommendations and research. And please share this episode with anyone who you think might benefit from the wisdom shared in it.
