0:00.0 | Most people will experience tremendous reductions in anxiety within three days to three weeks of starting a ketogenic diet. In fact, we did a study where patients with bipolar disorder, major depression, or schizophrenia, tried the ketogenic diet, and 43% achieved clinical remission from their chronic mental illness, and 64% of them left on less psychiatric medication. Because it improves the balance of chemicals in the brain. |
0:22.7 | But the question is, what's causing those chemical imbalances in the first place? |
0:26.7 | And so let's start there. |
0:28.4 | Dr. Georgia Ead is a Harvard trained psychiatrist who specializes in nutritional science and mental health. |
0:33.3 | She was one of the first psychiatrists to offer nutrition-based approaches as an alternative to psychiatric medications to optimize brain function and enhance performance. |
0:40.8 | People need to know how powerful nutrition strategies can be for the brain. |
0:44.8 | Because if you're feeding it the wrong way, things will go wrong. And that's exactly what happened to me. |
0:48.8 | My health was declining in my early 40s in ways that was true for a lot of my patients, chronic fatigue and IBS, |
