“How can we best support people with limited incomes or resources in their metabolic psychiatry journey?”
This question was asked in our recent Q&A with Dr. Georgia Ede during our monthly live Q&A for members of The Metabolic Initiative. The full recording is now available for on-demand viewing here: membership.metabolicinitiativ...
Here are some of the other questions we covered:
1. How did you get started with using nutrition as a tool for mental illness?
2. Why do you think some people with mental illness respond better to carnivore than a classic ketogenic diet?
3. Do you recommend genetic testing to help finesse your dietary recommendations for patients? (Specifically MTHFR gene)
4. Does Dr. Ede think that excessive use of stimulants like caffeine or Adderall is a factor in the current mental health crisis?
5. Are nutrient deficiencies common in psychiatric diseases and does Dr. Ede test for nutrient deficiencies to identify this as a potential root cause?
6. What are your thoughts on supplementing with exogenous ketones for mental health, specifically in a strict carnivore diet who's never in ketosis?
7. Could you share a bit about why you stopped doing the carnivore diet after 8-9 months when you felt better than ever before?
I8. f there is an abundance of insulin in the blood, it cannot enter the brain and facilitate glucose uptake. Can you please clarify the pathology of insulin resistance in the brain relating to glucose metabolism?
