Is the Standardized American Diet ruining our mental health? Why is the nutritional science often unscientific? Why are the USDA's good guidelines harmful to American health? According to TIME, mental health in the United States has been worsening by every metric since 2000, including a 30% increase in suicide rates. In 2021, 22.8% of American adults reported experiencing mental health issues. In late 2022, only 31% of Americans reported mental health as “excellent” when compared to about 43% from the early 2000s.

In today's conversation, a Harvard nutritional psychiatrist exposes fake nutritional science, why the USDA's guidelines are unscientific and harmful, the truth behind vegetable oils and ultra-processed food, why superfood is a myth, what we can do to reverse our brain health, and much more.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Georgia Ede here with me. She is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist specializing in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Her twenty-five years of experience include twelve years at Smith College and Harvard University Health Services, where she was the first to offer nutrition-based therapies as an alternative to psychiatric medication. Dr. Ede speaks internationally about nutrition science and dietary approaches to psychiatric conditions and developed the first and only medically accredited Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health Clinician Training Program. In 2022, she co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for serious mental illness and was named a recipient of the Baszucki Brain Research Fund's Metabolic Mind Award. In this episode, Dr. Ede identifies the most harmful foods contributing to brain decline and chronic disease as refined carbohydrates, refined vegetable oils, alcohol, grains, and legumes. She explains that refined carbohydrates, such as sugar and flour, and seed oils, like soybean and canola oil, undergo extensive processing that strips them of natural properties, leading to excessive linoleic acid intake. Tune in as Dr. Ede emphasizes that a ketogenic diet is not a list of foods but a powerful metabolic intervention that can significantly alter the brain's functioning. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, individuals can lower their insulin levels, which is crucial for entering ketosis.

Over one billion people worldwide have some type of mental health diagnosis - a statistic that suggests the current approach to treating these conditions may not be enough. For those struggling, perhaps despite their medication, it can feel easy to lose hope of feeling well again. In this conversation, I speak to someone who has been a psychiatrist for more than 25 years and who for many years, felt that her impact on patients was limited until she learned about the incredible healing power of food. Dr Georgia Ede is a Harvard trained, board certified psychiatrist specialising in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Her 25 years of clinical experience includes 12 years at Smith College and Harvard University Health Services, where she was the first person to offer students nutrition-based approaches as an alternative to psychiatric medication. She co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for treatment-resistant mental illness and is the author of the wonderful new book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health. Georgia explains that, almost unknowingly, many of us have been feeding our brains improperly for our entire lives. We explore what she considers to be the five foods that have the most potential to be problematic for our brain health and how quickly we can start to feel the benefits if we are able to cut back on them. This highlights a key point that both Georgia and I are extremely passionate about - that, for most of us, in the modern day food environment, what we cut out of our diet is more important than what we put in. We talk about the relationship between blood glucose and brain glucose. Georgia outlines the whole foods that Georgia believes can be problematic, especially if we are having problems with our mood or have a mental health diagnosis. We also discuss why Georgia believes that the Mediterranean diet - whilst better than the Standard Western Diet is not optimal, and we cover Georgia's clinical research about the potential benefits of ketogenic diets in treating mental health. Georgia is a wonderful physician who cares deeply about her patients and is helping many of them gain relief and sometimes remission from long standing mental health problems. That being said, there is no question that some of her recommendations may at first glance appear to controversial. Throughout the conversation, I have tried my best to provide clarity and make sure that you clearly understand why Georgia is recommending the changes that she is. But, as you are listening, please do remember, that there is no one dietary approach that is going to work for everyone, at every stage in their life.

Episode 2459 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich welcomes psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede to discuss how the proper diet is therapeutic, creates change for the better, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/03/change-for-the-better-with-georgia-ede-episode-2459 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - Sugars and Oxidative Stress More kids than ever are presenting with psychological problems. (2:00) Vinnie mentions Robyn Dobbins who openly shares how diet has improved her mental health symptoms. People are feeding their brains improperly. (4:30) There have been decades of misinformation, so treatment has been off. Everyone deserves the right information upfront rather than having to go through multiple medications. (7:00) Georgia goes through her personal history and how she stumbled onto dietary health changes. Vinnie asks her for more details on those changes. Sweeteners have a lot of side effects. (16:00) Sugar is the only addictive substance that society sanctions for children. (20:00) It is not only addictive, it is physically damaging to the brain. (24:00) It creates oxidative stress and insulin resistance. Refined flours do the same by causing a glycogen load; as a result, your insulin is up longer. (25:00) Most people are metabolically broken, so sugars and carbs are even more harmful. If your body “needs” sugar, your body will make it. Fats and protein are essential, but carbs are not. (31:00) The FDA recommends a bunch of nonsense. And now our gut health is a topic that needs to be paid attention to. Change for the Better Vinnie knows people whose adult kids are still having issues but refuse to believe that diet can help. (38:00) Georgia always uses dietary interventions first and she has found them to be the most effective for her clients (41:00) There are certain foods the brain needs. It's not just junk food that hurts, but also foods we've been told are healthy that aren't (like whole grains). Dr. Ede's book addresses dietary therapy as a first step. (45:00) They discuss many different things that have been happening in the news are examples of declining mental health. (48:00) Bad mental health has become so common we think of it as totally normal. (50:00) Vinnie recently has heard about “safe rooms” at college—people are developmentally and emotionally less resilient. (53:00) Vinnie also worries about degenerative brain disease, CTE, and brain health. Vinnie asks how you get more N=1 cases on the books to demonstrate the advantages of diet and mental health. Changing your diet is change for the better. You can find Dr. Ede at . You can also find a clinician's directory on her website.
