I’ve had the pleasure of following Dr. Georgia Ede’s groundbreaking work for a while now and her insights into the connection between nutrition and mental health have continually impressed me. Dr. Ede is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist with over two decades of clinical experience, specializing in nutritional psychiatry and brain metabolism. Her personal journey and professional expertise have led her to uncover powerful dietary strategies that can transform mental health, which she has detailed in her newly released book, 'Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind.'

Dr. Ede's work has significantly advanced our understanding of how specific dietary interventions, particularly the ketogenic diet, can profoundly influence psychiatric disorders.

Today, she’s here to discuss her new book and to share the biochemical mechanisms behind these interventions and practical applications for improving cognitive function and emotional well-being. Whether you're curious about the role of specific nutrients in brain health or how to implement these dietary changes in your own life, I promise, this conversation will be both enlightening and actionable.
