Once you find out that the American Heart Association was basically funded by CRISCO... And that they AUCTIONED OFF their "Heart Healthy" logo (they stopped when people learned about this). You start to realize... If the people doing the Recommendations are PAID FOR by PRODUCT PRODUCERS... Are they REALLY telling us the TRUTH? Or are they serving their income streams!

And lets not forget adequate hydration. Unexpectedly I got a stern lecture on this subject from my dental hygenist who was pretty stern with me when she had been in my mouth about a minute and told me she could tell I had not been drinking water. Dehydration is not good for the brain or for dental health.

[@aprilek6003]

Love Dr. Edes work. Been following her since late 2016. Looking forward to purchasing her book, reading it and having it as a reference for my friends and family. I am so happy to see the needle moving in the nutritional mental health field. What you eat matters folks!!!!!!!!!

[@mbrochh82]

Here's a ChatGPT summary: - Red wine, dark chocolate, and blueberries are often considered superfoods for the brain, but scientific evidence does not support their special benefits for brain health. - Dr. Georgia Ead is a pioneer in metabolic psychiatry and has written a book titled "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind," which focuses on improving mood, overcoming anxiety, and protecting memory. - The book and Dr. Ead's work challenge common misconceptions about brain-healthy diets and superfoods, emphasizing the importance of quality science in dietary recommendations. - A brain-healthy diet should focus on maintaining healthy blood sugar and insulin levels, providing essential nutrients, and avoiding foods that can damage the brain. - The book criticizes nutrition epidemiological studies, which rely on food questionnaires and are considered unreliable for determining what constitutes a brain-healthy diet. - Dr. Ead suggests that animal foods are necessary for optimal brain health due to their nutrient content, and that refined carbohydrates and seed oils should be avoided due to their inflammatory effects. - The book also addresses the importance of brain metabolism and the role of glucose and insulin in brain health, linking insulin resistance to brain health issues like Alzheimer's disease. - Continuous glucose monitors are recommended for personal assessment of blood sugar responses to food, even for those without diabetes. - Dr. Ead criticizes the consumption of refined seed oils, which are high in linoleic acid, and suggests that they may contribute to brain inflammation and oxidative stress. - The book provides practical advice on dietary changes for mental health improvement and is intended for anyone concerned about their current or future brain health. - Main message: The book by Dr. Georgia Ead, "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind," offers a comprehensive approach to understanding and improving brain health through diet, challenging popular misconceptions, and providing practical guidance for optimal mental well-being.

[@lenamccubbin1068]

The reason prescriptions are “required” in the US is insurance, led by Medicare. In the days before Medicare covered ostomy and other medical supplies, people who needed these could walk in any pharmacy and purchase what they needed. Once medicare began to pay, a prescription was required. Insurance followed the requirement. My opinion is that this raises the cost of administering the program.

[@theskyehiker]

Or you could say Medicare didn’t want to pay for services or medicines that aren’t medically necessary. If any doctor could say x patient needs x medication/product/service and Medicare had to pay for it, can you imagine just how fiscal conservatives would howl? We could go back to a time when people paid out of pocket for all medical services. Would that work better? If we have a governmental agency that is paying for services, out of the taxpayer funded pot, should there not be any control?

[@TheKetoSurvivor]

Great interview! So glad to hear she has a book coming out. 👉i have a question!! Contemplating getting some red light weight loss therapy to augment my 5+ years of keto. My understanding of the mechanism is that the light heats up and drys up the fat cells. This releases fat that is supposedly taken up by the lymphatic system and flushed out. Being wary of marketing explanations, I wonder if some of that fat will be released into the blood. I also wonder if this last 100 stubborn pounds are very full of linoleic acid. So, I wonder now after this presentation if doing this procedure might release unhealthy levels of linoleic acid into my brain. What do you think?

What many people often overlook is that it's possible to be metabolically healthy even if you're overweight, and conversely, you can have Type 2 diabetes while maintaining a normal weight. This highlights the crucial importance of keeping your insulin levels under control, as it's not just weight, but how your body manages insulin that plays a key role in your metabolic health.

[@az10sbum1]

We need a better way to describe survey based epidemiology studies than "weak." Weak makes it sound like it is true but might not make much of a difference. Actually, they may well be dead wrong. How about "weak data that may well be wrong?" Or "studies so unreliable that they should not be used for making health recommendations."

[@GlennMarshallnz]

How about - as weak as a longtime vegan that doesn’t rely on heavily processed protein powders. 😀

[@rockclmbrmike]

That is not completely true and the obvious error in your statement is that it is all inclusive. You stated that question based studies are unreliable, but that us not completely true. The length, size and diversity of the sample group would all come into play as variable factors that could impact the reliability of the study, but to say that across the board they are unreliable, is extremely overstated!

[@emh8861]

She said worthless too .

[@jimrutherford2773]

Even if you took 10 people and did a randomized study where they were tightly controlled, in my mind that study would be 1000x more reliable than any size epidemiological study.

When Gary Taubes wrote 15 years ago that cultures that eat their traditional diets don’t get diabetes, heart disease, and obesity until they import sugar, flour, and seed oils, I eliminated them from my diet. I emailed him recently and asked him if he still believed that, and he said he wasn’t sure about seed oils.

[@DarthCarnivore]

Can't wait to purchase and read the book! Am curious how one would test or quantify blood glucose or insulin in the brain.

[@metabolicmind]

The best we have now is a blood insulin test as that likely reflects a similar status in the brain.

[@dilettanter]

So is avocado oil also not recommended ? I guess maybe I could throw it away! I’ve kind of stopped using it - cooking with mcs oil and water - But is Macy oil not good either ?

[@gabymalembe]

What I wonder is whether lowering glucose spikes without losing weight is helpful. Roy Taylor’s research sounds like what matters is weight loss: His subjects who lost weight reversed diabetes. I love my cgm but I don’t know if lowering my glucose spikes actually matters.

[@NoName-cx3gk]

It's important to understand that while there is a correlation between obesity and Type 2 diabetes, obesity is not necessarily the causal factor. Many people who are overweight and have diabetes often have poor diets characterized by insulin spikes, These insulin spikes can lead to weight gain, as insulin inhibits fat breakdown. However, this does not mean that fat alone is the cause of diabetes. The key concern regarding blood sugar levels is not solely the height of the spike, but more importantly, the area under the glucose curve. This represents not just the peak of blood sugar levels, but the overall exposure to glucose over time. There is a significant number of individuals who are overweight, even with a BMI up to 30, who are metabolically healthy, meaning they have normal insulin regulation. This indicates that while obesity can be associated with Type 2 diabetes, it is not a definitive cause. People with poor dietary habits leading to frequent insulin spikes might develop insulin resistance, a key factor in the development of Type 2 diabetes, regardless of their weight. Therefore, managing dietary choices to stabilize insulin levels can be just as crucial as focusing on weight loss. This approach can help in preventing or managing Type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet and regular physical activity, regardless of one's body weight.

[@NoName-cx3gk]

Additionally, it's important to note that diabetes is often associated with the accumulation of fat in the muscles, a process that occurs due to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance hinders the efficient use of glucose by the muscles, leading to an abnormal deposition of fat within them. This contributes to the overall metabolic dysfunction characteristic of diabetes.

[@akhusal]

If I said here's 20kg of fat and carry it around 24 hours a day I would be told I'm crazy. But this is what overweight people are doing. Plus extra weight is going to put pressure on joints especially hips and knees. If you weigh 15 stones the g force on your knee joints while running can be equivalent pressure of 25 stones.

[@Keithzzzzt]

It's a nuanced response. I think what she means is that exogenous linoleic acid is non essential. ( seed oils, processed food) Real food has all you need. It is less than 2 to 4% % of our dietary needs. Excess linoleic acid is a metabolic toxin.

I understand Keto therapy being able to treat seizures in epilepsy, bipolar mood swings borderline personality mood swings maybe. But I don’t understand Ketosis truly restoring truly treating negative symptoms in schizophrenia? I understand physical exercise can do this but don’t see how just a diet even in the absence of exercise would really restore functioning in schizophrenic conditions and treat the anhedonia, anticipatory anhedonia, reward dysfunction etc. but maybe I am wrong!

[@StarshipTroooper]

I'm no expert in regard to negative symptomology in schizophrenia, and unqualified to suggest much here, but from personal experience, the diet provides energy, improved cognition, and is an effective anti-depressant for people with bipolar (a LOT of case studies). There are case studies of negative psychotic symptoms getting better. There's just a lot we still don't understand. I'm sure you know this, but medical keto "diets" aren't just "diets." There is so much going on with the brain when our bodies switch our energy systems. There is no "diet" like this - I personally think of it as medicine when it's therapeutic and not just a weight loss / fad tool.

[@biodivers5294]

Maybe the effect of not eating bad things for your Brain & Body is just as important as eating the assumpted good things? There is still a lot to discover, keep your brain in condition for that 😉

[@StarshipTroooper]

@@biodivers5294 with respect, there is no "not eating bad things" that can stop seizures on a dime, or dramatically the tremors of someone with parkinsons. There is something fundamentally different about the neurological impacts of ketogenic states and elevated blood ketones.
