In 2004 I weaned myself off of psychiatric meds. About 10% of my dose a week, one med at a time. When I got to half my lithium dose, I lost 14 pounds in one week. I was on nine prescriptions, four of which were psychiatric. Six months later I had no bipolar episodes and had lost almost 50 pounds. The most I was ever counseled about diet was to eat "a healthy diet" when I asked. I had been in bed for three years due to congestive heart , and arteriosclerosis. I was given six weeks to live on the last week of April 2004. If I'd continued the medical advice I was given, I'm pretty sure I would have died as they predicted.

This guy is an awesome interviewer, love listening to Dr Eade. Great stuff.

I am 68 and have only just discovered and started a low carb lifestyle in the last year. I wish I had known about this way of eating when I was a young woman. It is one of the best things I have done. Very interesting discussion thanks.

The crusade against eating meat, the social engineering part she speaks about toward the end is really scary. I guess in the end it’s all about wealth and power for some people.

I love this lady she is so level headed and honest.

I started Carnivore and am healing everything!!! Keto was ok but hard because I personally still had extremely strong cravings, but ez peasy Carnivore has saved my life. Down 81 lbs since April and that is crazy as I was not able to drop a lb in the last 27 years in spite of following low calorie plans. The weight is the least of it! My chest nonlonger hurts bad every day all day, my BP is great, my anemia and thyroid issues are gone. and soooo many more things!

Dr. Ede speaks so eloquently. I find her explanations very easy to understand. Thank you for spreading this message!

All psychiatrists SHOULD know about nutrition since they are the ones doling out psych meds which are notorious for causing the dreaded "Metabolic Syndrome" which is the precursor to Diabetes. Some psychiatrists do monitor your weight and BP during each visit and order lab work periodically and tell you to "eat healthy" and "exercise"but will still refer you back to your PCP for treatment if your levels show you have diabetes, Hypertension or High Cholesterol.

Excellent discussion. Dr. Ede is so good on pulling apart inadequate research like the Lancet report. She's a real gift. There is SO much negative information out there about meat, it's really helpful to have this sort of "authoritative" research debunked. Good questions and additions from you, too, Bret. Thanks for the conversation. It really helps me believe in the new paradigm and detach from the old one.

Love these in-depth, intelligent interviews, where the guests are given the opportunity to make their case clearly

Thank god for this woman and her work ethics. We as a society are losing ethics because people want to use subjective logic instead of objective logic. There is hope for great mental health as a collective

She is so honest and clear. A pleasure to listen to her.

What a great video! Dr. Scher is a fantastic interviewer letting the guest develop their own ideas. What a treat to have Dr. Georiga Ede! Her way of explaining the concepts is so refreshing. Thank you to both of you for all you do to help us get on a healthier path.

"The brain is part of the body"! Never gets old ...

Georgia EdeIs a SUPERHERO ❤

Dr. Ede is awesome.

When bias is swayed by money, by profit and the lobby driven coercion we exist under, all major studies are automatically in need of being questions.Dr. Ede is doing a great service in her willingness to ask the honest questions screaming for answers.

The anti meat lobby is "very well funded, very well organised and very powerful," Bravo Dr Ede, you are cutting through the BS wonderfully and I'm a vegetarian who wishes in a way you were wrong but sadly it ain't so.

This episode of DD has me flashing back to SNL’s NPR Delicious Dish skits.

Amazing guest, just amazing!! Thanks again for all your help, love the podcasts. We all really appreciate you.

Regarding ketones and mental health, I can only speak of my own experience so obviously it's just a single anecdote and not a truth but here is what I have noticed. I've been on a ketogenic diet for around 2 years and it helped my mental heath tremendously. At first I was very very strict on the carbs and was on ketosis all the time, now that my body is very fat adapted and I know that I can get back into ketosis in a matter of hours I'm a bit more flexible in my diet. Now it's not to say that I eat more carbs, I'm usually between 5 and 20g depending on the day so even my "higher carb" days I still eat very low carb, but I now eat some foods that while very moderate in carbs or even eaten in small quantities tend to make my blood sugar levels rise enough to lower my ketones or even get me out of ketosis if I'm not careful. And what I noticed on my mood disorders is the following : The deeper into ketosis the more stable my mood it, the calmer I am, If there are no external factors (something sad or scary or getting angry at someone etc) then I do ok on lower ketone levels but my mood is more "fragile" , I can get into an axiety attack much faster and with less stress than it would take for that to happen with higher ketone levels. If I get out of ketosis for a couple of hours and I'm in a good day it's ok, but longer than that say 1 full day out of ketosis and I'm a mess, I would say it's almost like PMS, just a world or look and I'm crying or yelling, a sad anecdote and I'm depressed, anxiety attacks are unavoidable, fast to rise and strong. So for me personally, low carb is great and all but ketones are what matter and the level of ketones in my blood has a definite impact on my mood.

This lady is brilliant. Enjoyed her participation in this podcast which brought so much positive provoking thought.

Great talk, thanks for sharing. Keep pushing this message out.

I wish Dr. Ede would be a bit less conciliatory regarding animal welfare. Animals are killed in the billions annually protecting crops and veggies from herbivores... the annual rate of killing from eating a beef centered diet is arguably lower than it is eating some (not all) vegan diets. So... don't concede that a vegan diet is a more humane choice so easily. I'm reminded of this because, as a kid, I watched old farmer Gunderson killing baby bunnies with a stick at the edge of his garden. When he came down the ally to sell us fresh tomatoes I was never under the impression that veggies were 'cruelty free'.

Everyone should share this

After 30+ years of struggling with depression and anxiety becoming an increasing factor, chronic migraines 4 times a week and eating the nutritionists’ idea of a healthy diet, I was finally thinking I might need medication which I never took. I investigated it for a prediabetic and IR diagnosis. My world was literally turned upside down when after 6months of intense research finally convinced that ketogenic diet wasn’t dangerous. For the 1st time I felt like energy was brimming under the surface. The only way I can describe it is that I had cellular energy. I felt optimistic about things in general for the first time since being a teenager. I was careful to add B12, nutritional yeast, ate a tonne of dark leafy greens grown at home, apple cider vinegar, extra salt and lemon water. Went through the keto flu, but after 3 weeks had this amazing result. After a great deal more research and Dr Lustig’s recent work detailing exactly how sugars and carbs are actually toxic, I am convinced that this anti-inflammatory diet is good for so many maladies and useful therapeutically. It also fits with how ancient man would have eaten, especially when you add fasting and short eating windows.

Thank you so much Dr. Ede. Keep up the good work.

Omg she was awesome. I suffered w mental health and sjes so right about diet and the brain

Exceptional interview! Thank you.

Very good information! I really enjoyed the respectful exchange.

As a cow/calf producer, cowboy ( female cowboy in this genderless occupation) I take DEEP offense about the ignorance of people as to how our animals are treated.. how they are fed , protected, cared for , and yes, LOVED for every day they are destined to BE on this earth .. our cows AND bulls , are our partners in this business of providing g the best and arguably the ONLY real food for humans . We have a bond AND a VOW to FEED, SHELTER , PROTECT, PROVIDE A STRESS FREE ENVIRONMENT , RESPECT AND CARE FOR AND ABOUT EACH ANIMAL AND THEIR OFFSPRING FOR AS LONG AS THEY ARE DESTINED TO BE HERE . . Whether that is 2 years or 2 , when that day comes they will be met with respect and a pain-free end just as your vet provides that for your beloved pet when you decide that it is time . However , our massive abbatoirs ,BY CANADIAN AND USA LAW, must adhere to strict regulations to provide an environment of basic " like " animal odors, sounds , and similar domestic structures to the ranch/ farm/ feedlot that they come from , and protected from any sights , sounds and smells that would be stressful ..UNLIKE THE LAST VISIT TO THE VET WITH ALL THE NOISES AND CHEMICAL SMELLS FROM THE CLINIC AND OTHER STRANGE ANIMALS . The other side of this environmental question , is that WITHOUT the inputs of the natural animal manures which are totally complete in nutrient values and organic matter ESSENTIAL to maintaining our soils' health and continuing on a regenerative path . Take the animal component away and we would be left with totally sterile soils and foods grown on them devoid of any nutritive value as we already have today in fruits and vegetables grown and harvested on sterile ground .. requiring the same supplementation that we must offer our animals if we feed them crops harvested on these soils .. people need to do some research before they decide which side of the fence they are on .

Very interesting and well spoken DR. Cut out sugars as much as possible is again the message here...

Bret Scher is a gentleman and Georgia Ede is a joy to listen to. Very nice interview/conversation

Going hard on high fat carnivore starting now! Thanks for the validation.

Dr Ede could have her own ASMR show.

Very informative! I like it!

Excellent!

I lost 125 pound and never would have thought about the psychology impact. it has been amazing mental transformation

great podcast

When I reduced meat drastically I developed low B12, osteoporosis and a shattered ankle.

It's sad but vegans care far more about animals than they do for themselves. This is ridiculous.

Many years ago I spent three days on some cooperative land where people I knew from college were living. I didn’t have the vocabulary to call their diet vegan, but it was. After three days I was famished, even though I’d been fed their diet, and the first thing I did after I left was to buy a big block of cheese and eat most of it. I was literally starving for protein. I could no more be a vegan than play pro basketball (at 5’3”.). It just doesn’t support my biology.

All doctors SHOULD get some training in nutrition. That way people wouldn't get sucked into stupid things like veganism and no-fat diets. Someone has to turn this stupid tide. An immunologist took me off almost all vegetable matter 25 years ago, I was horribly sick both mentally and physically. I'd been that way for about fourteen years with no help from any doctor until I met this chap. When he took me off all these foods, including artificial colours, flavours and preservatives my health improved within days. The change was fantastic. I have since taken myself off most of the other vegetables and I'm now fitter than I've ever been since I became sick. Only too glad I met this man.

I have read many anecdotal reports from keto dieters over the years. Many seeking improvement via SSRIs did not respond favorably to that treatment, but did experience improvement via ketosis. I think that Dr. Ede would be be a good person to write a technical paper on this topic because of her credentials and affiliation with the Psychiatry publications.

Fantastic podcast 🙏🙏🙏

Antidepressants do work and they do save lives, but boy they mess up your metabolism and chemistry in the body.

❤ Great Podcast ❤

It has been noted in sleep studies, that if a person is deprived of sleep for six hours a night for four days he is prediabetic. Has anyone investigated the connection between Alzheimer’s and lack of sleep.

Have you seen the Alan Savory videos?

3 yrs ago.. talking about the SEED OILS! keep it up 👍

Why so little research in nutritional psychiatry? Why it's so unpopular? Another exciting topić for me is the usage of psychedelics in psychotherapeutic treatment. The future seems bright, considering those new research fields, but on the other hand is there anyone interested in mainstream?

AWESOME

What do the meat poultry and fish interests DO to counter these claims? I mean in science based ways.

Keto / Carnivore needs to get more political and thus powerful as the deck is stacked against us. Elections have consequences!

I recommend Moses Sheppard , who included diet in his basic rules .

Remember even the Dalai Lama eats meat for his health. "In 1999, it was published that the Dalai Lama would only be vegetarian every other day and partakes of meat regularly.[29] When he is in Dharamsala, he is vegetarian, but not necessarily when he is outside Dharamsala."

Awesome 🤩 thanks

I don't understand your new director, surely she knew about the ketogenic diet, phychiatirsts have been prescribing it for a hundred years. Did she have her head in the clouds?

You should go on Joe Rogan. I wonder what would happen to all the cattle and chickens we raise for food of we stopped eating them.

A emotional argument is NEVER NEVER a valid argument. EMOTIONS are chemical changes that are not necessarily based on reality. The difference between humans and animals is that humans can put aside emotions, look at multiple sources of information and than come to a LOGICAL conclusion. Things like social justice, animal justice are based on emotions NOT REALITY. Reality could care less about your emotions.

Beef butter bacon eggs

CHEMICAL BASED psychiatry.......was the "new" directors paycheck prerequisite agreement with management I bet Her paycheck depends on her "leading" staff in that direction

It is uncomfortable that many are espousing the carnivore or vegan diet as an elixir . perhaps it is a benefit for some. l am certain balance is key for majority. our closest relatives monkeys, apes, eat vegetation as main diet. we are omnivores eating vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts, some meats and getting the benefits for our bodies and microbiome who feed on the fibers from veg and fruit. indeed countries with the longest longevity eat way more veg, fruit, legumes.

... separating FAT from fiction...

If one ate a carnivorous diet, where would one get many of the vitamins from, for example vitamin C? A carnivorous diet seems to me to be incomplete and imbalanced. Does anyone have any answers?

Fix the gut.

Other than thinking evolution actually happened ... lol ... this was a great interview!!

8:00 ... Tucker Carlson just discussed a young black girl at Smith who lost her mind because someone asked her why she was in a building when rules said she wasn't allowed. Has anyone studied the relationship between neuroticism and vegetarianism? In my experience, vegans are often over emotional.
