Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health | Dr. Georgia Ede | Metabolic Link Private Feed Episode

In this private feed episode of The Metabolic Link, psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede shares groundbreaking research on using ketogenic diets to treat psychiatric disorders. She makes the case that emerging science shows many psychiatric symptoms may be rooted in treatable metabolic dysfunction.
She takes us through evidence that conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression share common biochemical imbalances that can be targeted with ketogenic diets.
Many patients in case studies and early clinical trials have shown reduced inflammation, balanced neurotransmitters, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and improved psychiatric symptoms. Thanks to this encouraging preliminary data, the ketogenic diet is being studied clinically, but large human trials are needed to fully understand its safety and efficacy in psychiatric disease.

You are actually right. Insulin resistance has become a pandemic spreading around the world. My wife and brother suffer from insulin resistance, so we must fight this disease.

Keto vegetarian is quite difficult to implement daily. Is there any research on using low carb foods as a way to periodically rest the brain for improving insulting resistance? Example: every weekend, implement low carb diet, and a regular (healthy) diet for the work week (no highly sugary foods but fruits and lighter carbs are okay) to maintain energy levels for work.

If your insulin levels are too high you never burn fat?

[@awesometulips9427]

Yes. Dr Ben Bikman, Dr Annette Bosworth, and Dr. Shawn Baker talk often about this. In Dr Ede's first slide here, she defines the ketogenic diet as a state where your blood ketones reach at least 0.5mM, this is the beginning off being fat adapted, the body using fat as energy source. Ketones only go high if insulin is low. The more in tune we are with foods that do not cause an insulin spike, the better the ketones levels are.

Dr. Palmer also has a wonderful list of medical journal papers you can read too. Hope that helps! www.chrispalmermd.com/articles/#medicaljournals

Sometimes things are so obvious and yet so impossible to see. Lack of brain energy definitely will cause all kinds of problems.

[@MetabolicHealthSummit]

It can certainly be challenging. Dr. Ede has a list of clinicians on her website that are aware of using a ketogenic diet for mental health. You can find it here: www.diagnosisdiet.com/directory
