Summary

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Georgia Ede here with me. She is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist specializing in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Her twenty-five years of experience include twelve years at Smith College and Harvard University Health Services, where she was the first to offer nutrition-based therapies as an alternative to psychiatric medication. Dr. Ede speaks internationally about nutrition science and dietary approaches to psychiatric conditions and developed the first and only medically accredited Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health Clinician Training Program. In 2022, she co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for serious mental illness and was named a recipient of the Baszucki Brain Research Fund’s Metabolic Mind Award. In this episode, Dr. Ede identifies the most harmful foods contributing to brain decline and chronic disease as refined carbohydrates, refined vegetable oils, alcohol, grains, and legumes. She explains that refined carbohydrates, such as sugar and flour, and seed oils, like soybean and canola oil, undergo extensive processing that strips them of natural properties, leading to excessive linoleic acid intake. Tune in as Dr. Ede emphasizes that a ketogenic diet is not a list of foods but a powerful metabolic intervention that can significantly alter the brain's functioning. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, individuals can lower their insulin levels, which is crucial for entering ketosis.
