π€ Super Weird Results!
Why do I feel this way? π§
Hey there! Ever wondered why what you eat seems to affect your mood? Turns out, there's some fascinating science behind it, and I'm about to break down an incredible interview with Dr. Georgia Ede, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who's revolutionizing mental health treatment through diet. Buckle up β this is going to be good! π’
In today's issue:
How to start Eating To Burn Off Belly Fat 15.7 x Faster?
A Game-Changing Discovery π
Picture this: This successful Harvard psychiatrist, while treating patients with traditional methods, suddenly discovers something that turns your whole practice upside down. That's exactly what happened to Dr. Ede. After struggling with her own health issues in her early 40s, she tried something radical β a diet that was "backwards from what we're told is healthy."
The result? Not only did her physical symptoms improve, but her mental health got significantly better too. Talk about a plot twist!
The Magic Numbers That'll Blow Your Mind π€―
Here's something crazy: In a study with 31 patients who had treatment-resistant mental illnesses (we're talking serious stuff like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia):
43% achieved clinical remission
64% needed less psychiatric medication
100% showed improvement
Quick Action Steps You Can Take Today:
Track your mood alongside your food intake
Consider getting a ketone meter (they're surprisingly affordable!)
Start reducing refined carbs gradually
Focus on whole foods
The Three Pillars of Brain Health ποΈ
Dr. Ede breaks it down into three simple principles:
Nourish π₯
Include essential nutrients
Focus on whole foods
Don't skip animal products (they're packed with brain-loving nutrients!)
Protect π‘οΈ
Remove inflammatory foods
Cut back on refined carbohydrates
Ditch vegetable oils
Energize β‘
Stabilize glucose levels
Keep insulin in check
Consider ketosis
The Ketogenic Sweet Spot π―
Here's the cool part: You don't have to go full carnivore to get benefits. The key is finding YOUR perfect balance. Start with these steps:
Begin gradually (no cold turkey needed!)
Monitor your ketones (aim for 0.5+ mmol/L)
Supplement electrolytes (goodbye, keto flu!)
Give it at least 3 weeks (that's the magic turning point!)
But Wait, What About Anxiety? π°
This is where it gets really interesting. Many people experience significant anxiety reduction within just 3 days to 3 weeks of starting keto. Why? It's all about getting off the blood sugar roller coaster!

Common Myths Busted π₯
"But don't I need fiber?" Surprise! The whole fiber story might not be what you think. Dr. Ede explains that while fiber can be helpful, it's not as essential as we've been led to believe.
"Won't I be hungry all the time?" Actually, the opposite! Once you're in ketosis, many people report feeling less hungry and more in control of their appetite.
The Bottom Line π―
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or just want to optimize your brain health, the ketogenic diet might be worth exploring. Remember:
It's not one-size-fits-all
Results can be dramatic
Support and guidance matter
Patience is key
