Revolutionizing Mental Health: The Rise of Metabolic Psychiatry | Dr. Georgia Ede

[@sherimedford4106]

I suffered depression over 50 years and with this diet I am off all meds for nine years with NO symptoms. I believe I had an autoimmune disorder and not bipolar. My mood disorder symptoms were not bipolar but autoimmune side effect and with diet, movement and meditation I am healthy.

Congratulations! Glad you found this amazing resources!

[@paulashaham6282]

I’m reading this book called “Anatomy of an Epidemic” by Robert Whitaker about the pharmaceutical industry. He investigates “why has the number of disabled mentally ill in the US tripled over the past two decades?” Thanks for interviewing this nice doctor who thinks for herself and actually helps people.

[@mary-janeowen8238]

At about 15:00 numerous helpful resources are cited including Dr Chris Palmer and his groundbreaking book, Brain Energy. I’m thrilled to see another podcast for those suffering from mental illness and how food can heal. So accessible to almost anybody!❤

[@gabydiehl8314]

thank you!

[@luviamartinez-5809]

Waw, she is so honest by letting us know that she didn’t know about nutrition! She is humble; and therefore, she is strong. Thank you you both for this invaluable information!

[@J3unG]

THIS is the future of mental health therapy. We should have known this all along. Had we known this, then humanity would not experience the scourge of chronic diseases, including mental illness. It's clear that nutrition has a profound effect on the human psychology. I hope that this position on mental health is adopted by psychiatry from now on. The opposition by the medical industry is steep, but the evidence is clear on the effect of poor nutrition on one's mental well-being.

Thank you Dr. Perlmutter for bringing Dr. Ede to our attention to continue our medicine education for making better choices. You are “tops”💖

Watching this video while eating a homemade keto buñuelo. Dr. Ede is an absolute legend and a master of explaining such complicated concepts in a way that anyone can understand.

[@mariannek.5446]

Dr. Ede is absolutely brilliant! Achieving ketosis took some practice, but once I got there, I felt unstoppable. My focus, attention, mood, energy, and sleep have all improved dramatically. I feel like a completely different person, and I can’t imagine ever going back to the Standard American Diet. This way of eating has transformed my life!

[@heatherbruce1668]

Remarkable! I wish medicine could be more open to the idea of holistic care

[@stewiecountry]

I just finished Dr. Ede's book the other day. It was so good....I loved it!

[@GeorgiaEdeMD]

Thank you for reading it and glad you enjoyed it!

[@miamendez2878]

I suffered my entire life with debilitating anxiety, depression, anger, borderline personality disorder, learning disabilities, cptsd, chronic pain, and bipolar disorder amongst other diagnoses. I'm happy to report that through keto alone, I've been medication and episode free for over 6 1/2 yrs. I also no longer suffer from chronic pain. Through a more resilient nervous system, I've been able to work on my trauma . I trained with Dr Ede and now help others. My story was told on episode 11 of the Keto Bipolar YT channel. I currently coach and have an online Meetup support group for those interested or who are already using ketosis to treat chronic mental health conditions . It's called , Mental Health & The Ketogenic Lifestyle. So grateful for this intervention.

Thank you Dr. Perlmutter for mentioning cashews. I just realized my body is reacting to them as if I had overindulged in sweet pastries. No wonder I like cashews so much :( Great interview. Both of you are heroes in my book

[@jeanpaultongeren125]

cashews are bad? what can I eat. What is left

[@GeorgiaEdeMD]

@jeanpaultongeren125 Some people do better with cashews than others:) But generally, a paleo style diet tailored to your carbohydrate tolerance is a great place to start (this is one of the plans in my book)

I took 450 mg of Lithium for 22 years. During that time I did not have to pay so much attention to the Arthritic Diet to control joint inflammation. I wonder if Li is an anti-inflammatory and that's why it's effective.

[@1timbarrett]

I love this channel…! ❤️

[@TomZanetic]

A reason for the push back (by fellow medical practitioners I assume) could be explained by a combination of Dr Iain McGilchrists thesis on hemi spherical brain differences (likely the medical fraternity has overwhelming left brain bias, which makes sense except for when paradigm shift thinking is appropriate) and good ol' pride/ego/nacissism especially by those towards the top of the hierarchy. You are dealing with highly complex science (albeit your excellent communication style to us non medical/scientific viewers) which adds to the resistance. The USA culture of money before health, eg cereal at breakfast, is a massive barrier to the change your driving. Finally, global education focuses on specialisation without regard to any holistic approach to situational analysis. A psychiatrist looking beyond psychiatry is rare. In this case not only diet but you also need to consider social elements to make change (stakeholder analysis 101)

[@pammyers8708]

Also see Dr. Brooke Goldner's Goodbye Lupus diet.

[@saralakushwaha1180]

Thanks a Lot 👍👍👍

[@stevelanghorn1407]

Fascinating listening to this. So thanks. Yes, I know you're both also in the business of selling your books, (which sound well worth buying!), but what you say here makes such common sense to me...ie : that we should surely get our policy priorities right and employ appropriate, monitored nutritional interventions before simply relying solely on pharmaceuticals. After all, "the mainstream" already recognise the effects that a state of Ketosis had when treating some of the most severe forms of Epilepsy...and have done for the last century. Surely there's a little clue there?!?

[@user-bd4bo4tb8u]

Rude.

[@fionasaunders7646]

In Edinburgh Scotland, the Craighall psychiatric hospital , had a unit set up researching nutrition effecting different conditions.The Queens unit had been in operation since the early 1970’s . All foodstuffs were grown in pesticide,herbicide etc free conditions including tea grown in Tanzania, all meat products raised without hormonal stimulants etc. Patients we’re making substantial improvement particularly depression and some other illnesses. So this is not a ‘new ‘ discovery in mental health treatment.

I think the use of fasting insulin labs are still not embraced as useful in the US medical world as Dr. Perlmutter alluded to here because I asked for this test in November at my primary care appointment since I've never been offered it (maybe because I'm not a diabetic). My insurance is supposed to pay for 100% of my lab tests if I use a specific lab (not the one conveniently at my doctor's office) which I did, but they're trying to deny paying the fasting insulin lab by calling it experimental.

[@stevelanghorn1407]

Our huge NHS state healthcare system, here in Britain, doesn't currently offer HOMA-IR tests at all. The blood serum HbA1C test is the main test. Thereafter, possible follow-up tests are the FBG fasting blood glucose tests & maybe the OGTT oral glucose tolerance test. But you'd have to pay a private clinic for the HOMA-IR test...which only a few, wealthier, health-conscious people do over here.

[@GeorgiaEdeMD]

If you live in the U.S. you can order your own fasting insulin test from online lab services and it will cost you $15 or less out of pocket without insurance coverage

[@joghog]

@GeorgiaEdeMD Well, it's a matter of principle is my actual complaint. My cost is only about $9 but I'm supposed to have a zero copay if I use a specific lab (which I did). I had another insurance before that wouldn't pay for my varicose vein surgery for about a year until I threatened to contact my lawyer....& I had a pre-authorization number.

First meal of the day is a whey protein shake with 1 or 2 bananas, 4 eggs, wild blue berries, cocoa nibs, nuts and herbs My last meal is 400 grams of meat, butter, 4 eggs, some boiled mushrooms and a single carrot to add a little fiber Sometime I also eat 4 eggs right before bed as a snack

The Clean Diet by Alejandro Junger MD and intermittent fasting helped me transform my health. Now I'm looking into the GAPS diet for my son. He's already had two bad reactions to the pills. The GAPS diet is for people with ADHD, Autism, and other mental health issues. GAPS = Gut And Psychology/Physiology Syndrome and was created by Natasha Campbell-McBride MD

[@chensally3]

I keep hearing that the reason we like sweet tasting fruits (and sugar) is that our ancestors needed the extra fat from eating sweet berries to tide them over winter when food is difficult to find. But what about those who lived near the equator where there is no winter? Should this reasoning be less applicable to them? Shouldn't our ancestors who lived near the equator be less addicted to sugar?

[@kathysharp7551]

Aside from coconut and avocado, generally fruits and berries are NOT a source of fat. So, someone may have miss informed you. As for sugar addiction, that's a result of refined sugar. It's not caused by eating fruit or berries.

[@kathysharp7551]

Oh, you might enjoy the book "The Pleasure Trap"....or just find youtube videos talking about it. It talks about evolution and why we crave and eat what we do.

[@Dbm7b5-p7y]

@@kathysharp7551 I think chensally3 refers to eating copious amounts of fruits to store their sugars as fat in the body which can then be burned again in winter

[@kathysharp7551]

@Dbm7b5-p7y oh, thanks for explaining :)

[@REIMARAValk]

it is interesting to hear Dr. Edes career journeys and how she had to fight against people conviction s about what constitutes a healthy diet. I am planing to do he quiet paleo diet. I do like to know though why she is not in favour of dairy. Dr. ede claims it can cause insulin resistance. I am keen to know the biochemical pathway through which this could occur. kind regards, miss you

[@GeorgiaEdeMD]

It sounds like you may have read Change Your Diet Change Your Mind already, but if you haven't, there are many pages of information about the pros and cons of dairy in chapter 8. Insulin resistance occurs naturally during growth spurts (puberty, pregnancy in humans, for example) and milk is a growth formula.

[@REIMARAValk]

@GeorgiaEdeMD dear dr. EDE. I have indeed read that chapter in the book. I am enjoying reading the book and I am learning a lot about nutrition and the three different diets you propose. I just find it difficult to reconcile with the thought that dairy, especially fermented dairy would be so bad for metabolic health. Your view contrasts the view of for example Dr. Bikman who opines that dairy can be a very nutritious food source. And there are various others in the low carbon community such as Dr. Erik westman who is also not against dairy. Hence my query to you about dairy being so bad for metabolic health.
