Georgia Ede, MD: Talks about changing your diet to bring changes to your mental health.

Georgia Ede M.D. is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist specializing in nutrition science and brain metabolism. Her twenty-five years of clinical experience include twelve years as a college psychiatrist and nutrition consultant at Smith College and Harvard University Health Services, where she was the first to offer students nutrition-based approaches as an alternative to psychiatric medications.

Dr. Ede speaks internationally about dietary approaches to psychiatric disorders. She co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for treatment-resistant mental illnesses, developed the first medically accredited course in ketogenic diets for mental health practitioners, and was honored to be named a recipient of the Baszucki Brain Research Fund’s first annual Metabolic Mind Award. Her new book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind was released on January 30, 2024.

Georgia Ede, MD, encourages the audience to try a nutritious diet for their mental health and to experiment with different meats to find what works best for them. The goal is to find a diet that brings the most mental health benefits and is personally enjoyable for everyone. She encourages the listeners to engage their curiosity and try the diet for a few weeks or months to see the potential benefits.

The root causes of mental health problems are no longer believed to be simply chemical imbalances, but may result from inflammation, oxidative stress, and energy imbalances, which are often caused by insulin resistance. Georgia Ede also explains how the brain can run on both glucose and ketones but does best with a mixture of both.

There is conflicting evidence about the effectiveness of plant-based diets for brain health, with some experts believing they may be inferior due to nutritional deficiencies. Many psychiatrists are interested in alternative approaches. Dr. Georgia Ede is a psychiatrist and brain health expert and she explains the connection between diet and mental health in her latest book, "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind." She discusses how certain foods and nutrients can impact brain chemistry and contribute to mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Despite a lack of clinical trials, there is a growing amount of anecdotal evidence and success stories from individuals who have improved their mental health by changing their diet. Dr. Georgia Ede is a psychiatrist who has been practicing for 25 years in Massachusetts, United States. She discovered that using nutrition and lifestyle interventions as mental health therapies is more effective than medications and therapy. Mental health issues may include irritability, edginess, being easily overwhelmed, difficulty sleeping, pessimistic views, and lacking mental energy. These problems are more common than we think. Mental health conditions exist on a spectrum she tells us.
