I like her and her approach, a lot!
Me too. She's been a game (and health) changer for me
I love this lady! Dr Ede's presentations are so helpful and informational. I like that she tells you what she knows and makes it very clear what she doesn't know, but gently asserts her hypothesis.
You don't need to drink alcohol to be social. Also, if you're drinking when social that could be every night for some people. I'm Italian and we had wine on the table occasionally when growing up but as an adult I liked it too much. I could see it was becoming a habit so I quit. My mom was an alcoholic from wine but quit. My grandmother drink too much wine in the evening. I've spent time in Italy and they share a bottle among many people at dinner. It's not a lot but in America we over do things. This socializing idea of drinking being fine is an excuse to drink. It's not necessary to have alcohol to be social.
Bravo!
100% agree. If you need alcohol to be social you have a bigger problem
Agree 100%! “At least I don’t drink alone” does not make you better than “social drinking”. Alcohol is a poison either way. Adults can choose their poison.
My thoughts exactly! People need to stop normalising drinking to be social!
Dat is not true tho
I’ve been Carnivore for well over a year. I listen to experts and read a great deal.
Dr Ede is amazing, and at the top of the list of incredible professionals who are impacting our world in a positive way. Her work is remarkable. I’ve ordered her book-her message needs to be spread far and wide!!! 👏🏻🫡🌎
Most persuasive person who also is moderate. Glad for your increased availability, Dr. Ede.
Thank you so much for this, I struggle with mental issues like perpetual anxiety and really bad memory problems to the point where I'm really terrified of what's going on with my brain. I have severe attention problems as well so for me to be this engaged throughout an entire video is not a normal occurrence. very informative video and both of you were amazing. Again thank you so much for this video from the bottom of my heart.
Have you considered trying the following? High dose vitamin D, selenium, iodine, high healthy fats, a meat-based diet, pregnenolone, OTC brain boosters like saffron or thesis, general nootropics (more info throughout ytoob), methylene blue, Marine source Omega-3. Also RNA drops if you can afford.
@@WindowsXP_logon_sound_25yrsago Thank you, will try that for sure.
@@audiolatte yeah I tried to post separately. I've tried or used all these methods or supplements to good effect, or I'm using them now. It feels like they're helping.
Good luck!
Lol i was sent to a 'psychologist' during an insomnia episode and she told me to take a shot of brandy!!! Thankfully i had the presence of mind to ignore her...also...my body CANNOT tolerate alcohol at any level
27:32 When he said he " views alcohol almost like a Trojan horse for a social setting", speaking about how the Mediterranean is often equated with consuming wine in a social gathering , I was hoping he'd say the trojan horse is thinking you always have to have wine for such a gathering. It's ubiquitous, almost like you can't be social without it. And sadly, that is true for some people. They've become dependent on wine to feel relaxed, especially in a social setting.
🍸 NO🚫BOOZE 🍺
This is a great episode. Terrific interview. Georgia Ede is a national treasure. The attempt to rationalize alcohol use here is quite a stretch. We know it’s harmful to your brain and body. Can some people use it periodically without terribly detrimental effects. Probably. Is it optimal for human health. Absolutely not.
I like her direct talking style and emphasis on harmful everything
Such an informative video!👏👏👏
Gratitude.
This is a great interview , knowledge is power one trying to control but not obsess over diet and being healthy
Very interesting conversation, thank you! It's the first time I've heard a warning on flaxseeds. She's saying don't blend or chew them, so is she saying don't eat them at all?
Just did Google search, A 1994 study found that, in healthy individuals, daily consumption of as much as 60g of raw flaxseed-more that 8 tbsp was safe.
Even when flaxseed eaten raw, the body has natural capacity to break down a certain amount of cyanide compounds.
1994? 30 years ago? Hmmmmm!?
@@patdenman3887nothing has changed since
Yeah, do not eat flax. There are many reasons not to eat flax seeds
@@barefootlumberjacklike?
37:03 "I don't know anyone in their right mind who says don't eat those foods."
Oh, Jason, I feel you, but that means there are some VERY influential people over the years (and today) that are not in their right minds 😂.
A mountain dew commercial came on when the effects of sugar on teenage boys was mentioned 😂
I’m too lazy to make smoothies, my mother never made smoothies.
Great inf!
I am Epileptic and starting loosing memory.
I want to know if l can eat chia seeds?
Thanks
Chia is high in oxylate. Sally Norton's book Toxic Superfoods is a good read.
@@luvabean
Thanks!
👍
try adding more meat and remove sugar. there are reserches that keto remove epilepsy among kids
@@Sky10811
Thanks!
I love wine but feel like crap the next day
I'd like to know what can be done to mitigate the damage done by plant and animal food, such as adding cider vinegar to reduce phytates and over night soaking of oats, walnuts, etc. I like to eat a wide variety of food so would prefer to still eat food I love rather than omit them from my diet. I now consume eggs, most kinds of meat, salmon, prawns and salads in the evening but I also often have a bean vegetable stew for lunch. Also what is your take on fermented foods like kefir, bio-yoghurt and sauerkraut?
Moderation
@@Crimepaysaskapolitician You heard what she said: no grains. That includes oats. They have no nutritional value. They spike your insulin.
Host is not hearing her. As in she says no need to eat grains and he asks what kind of oat milk to drink. As in she says eat meat and animal foods and he asks about his smoothie.
Yes, he is the kind of presenter we are seeing too many of on RUclips/podcasts who just want $$$$ with their brands, and to confuse their audiences on health information, just like the media have succeeded over the years. They have so many different guests saying complete opposite things from each other and it does nothing for the audience because there's no consistent message.
Indeed
I've got her book. And now following her recommendations after being on meds for YEARS with no *real* improvement.... I'm gradually weaning myself off them 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You forgot to discuss Axalates. Very important.
They brought up so many other points though. You can always look for more videos on RUclips, which deal specifically with oxalates 🎉
Sally K Norton is a good resource on oxalates*
❤
I'm no fan of highly process food and certainly not of foods high in sugars (starches and grains, included) but I am also cautious about saturated fats. Around 35 minutes, in when the doctor says that because we have always eaten meat and atherosclerosis is much more prevalent these days she is telling the truth. But a big reason for this is because people died (and usually much earlier than they do today, thank goodness, because of many other diseases (as a result of the invention of penicillin, vaccinations etc), wars, lack of safety in workplaces, etc. And so people mostly died before long term diseases had a chance to become such a big killer. So for that reason we can't rule out the dangers of eating too much meat. I would have thought this was an obvious point that she should have mentioned.
Nope because it is not based on any scientific evidence nor is it hypothetically plausible.
@@JRR100 There is no evidence of wars, famines, plagues, natural disasters and lack of advanced medicines in the past? Or am I just wasting my time on someone who does not understand logic. Simply put if you die early you can not die later in life of age related diseases.
@@JRR100- Not only is there no scientific evidence against saturated fat but there is scientific evidence in favor of it. In fact, some saturated fats have been studied as having numerous health benefits. See: "Research on Meat and Health"
Most of the world doesnt understand American's obsession with smoothies.
Brain food? Glucose and ketones, both produced in the required quantities by your liver. That is if you let your liver produce ketones.
The best diet is one that does not block ketone production, otherwise you are starving your brain.
Everthing else is secondary.
what is the evidence that refined carbs and vegetables oils are detrimental to brain health? I am not arguing against these claims, just would love to see the studies
Dr. Chris Knobbe - 'Are Vegetable Oils the primary driver of Obesity, Diabetes and Chronic Disease?'
Watch this and find out the truth.
Just a bullet list of random recommendations for anyone who might find them useful for better brain and body health -
High dose vitamin D, selenium, iodine, high healthy fats, a meat-based diet, pregnenolone, natural T, progesterone, DIM, DHEA, OTC brain boosters like saffron or thesis, general nootropics (more info throughout ytoob), methylene blue, Marine source Omega-3. Also RNA drops if you can afford them. I've used or I'm using all of these right now and have found positive results with all of them.
And last but not least, stair climbing and rebounding for fitness. It has helped me tremendously! I still have a long ways to go on my way but it has really helped!
Animal Fat protein and no salt is what makes keto work
Chocolate has no sugar by default.
44:58
What ???
No lentils ?
Please discuss keto 🥑🥓🥚🧀and intelligence
I agree: alcohol isn't healthy. "Moderation" has been defined as up to 3 drinks per day for men. What a joke. I could really have 21 glasses of wine or vodka tonics every week and be considered just a moderate drinker?
Love Georgia but interviewer doesn't seem to follow what she's saying but has his own agenda
It’s so much confusing information that soon we’re going to just eat nothing… if grains ,fruits and vegetables are so bad ? why we give them to babies,obviously they can’t eat meat … people in most countries grow up on grains , potatoes,vegetables and little animal products and we have many unbelievable smart people…. What kind of research she did?
I give my babies meat and they love it. Who said you can’t give them meat?
Agreed. When at 44:58 she says people shouldn't eat grains or legumes i was taken aback.
I thought lentils were a really healthy food and grains were a good source of fibre. 😮
Suggest checking the study on mental health and diet led by Felice Jacka PhD. Focus is on profound benefits of whole food plant based diet. Some of benefit may come from effects on microbiome. There's also work on exercise and Omega 3s having significant effects on anxiety and depression on her distraction comment, when I started on a plant based diet 10 years ago, I did subtract out junk, removed excess pasta and bread. I eat a lot of dark choc, but what I eat has either no sugar (Cocoa beans and powder) and baking choc) or very low sugar (80% plus) dark choc. I eat berries too. And beans. Lots of beans. When a person talks down beans its a clue that they're full of BS. I look to people like Walter Willet and Gary Fraser and Christopher Gardner on dietary advice/studies. My HbA1c is 5% or lower.
If vegetables have no benefits or nutrient just take look to the horses or elephant
She had me on board until she started recommending seafood! All that mercury. How can that be brain healthy. Meat/fish as consumed 200years and more ago is not the same as animal products consumed today.
Probably talking about the small fish like sardines as well as salmon, which is healthy as long as it's wild caught. I'm sure she's not a big fan of eating tuna regularly. I think she's trying to say there are other animal proteins that provide nutrition to the brain --- not just red meat. She is a smart doc.
@@shawnmarieVnutrition Absolutely!
You can get iodine from drops if you don't want to eat seafood, but small fish like sardines, mackerel, herring, smelt, oysters, etc. are fine and lower in mercury than say, salmon or tuna, which are huge fish that absorb more mercury.
Beans and nuts are so healthy! Dr. B, the gut MD and Dan Buettner Blue Zones are better resources for me
Blue zone myth as being plant-based has been completely debunked. All the people I know who live in Blue zone countries eat meat and animal products as the main source of nutrition, then some vegetables7salad as a side dish..
I think if you soak them, or sprout them, or cook them for a few days (beans), they are not as toxic, so you should be able to still eat them if you enjoy the taste 🎉❤
They are vegan propagandists pushing an anti-meat agenda. The vegan cultists and Seventh Day Adventist love them. Dr. Georgia Ede & Dr. Chris Palmer are the resource you want if you’re based in science.
Blue zone is refuted, the guy basically made up what okinawan’s and sicillians eats. In reality the eat predominantly a meat based diet. He’s a 7th day adventist church follower ( a religious cult believing meat creates lust and leads to sins). Don’t take advice from these lunatics
The blue zone diet is a myth. Look farther into it. Those people were cooking all their plant foods in animal fat. It's the animal fats that keep them young and healthy.
She has a very one dimensional view of phytic acid. Fails to discuss the balance of scientific evidence. Giving up grains and legumes is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I'd do some further research if you plan to adopt some of her suggestions
We should all do the research needed to make ourselves comfortable with any nutritional advice. I happen to think the ideas around nutritional ketosis are rock solid, after many years of study.
Its not just phytic acid. Gluten and gliadin are problematic for the gut and the brain. This is especially true for modern dwarf wheat. Horrible for auto immune diseases. There are over 40 novel protiens that cause non celiac auto immune reactivity.
A lot of people have cured cancer by giving up animal products
More people have been cured by eating the most nutritious foods for human beings, which are red meat, eggs, and seafood. Vegetarianism and veganism are religions. Please pedal your God somewhere else it’s not for science and evolution paradigms. The street corner is right outside grab a bull horn and go at it.
A lot of people have cured cancer by giving up plant products.
a lot of people have cured by giving up the bad stuff and embracing either carnivore, whole foods plant based or any other diet that removes all the industrial concentrations of sugar, bad oils, chemicals, colorants and similar bad stuff.
The problem is not animal products. The problem is garbage commercial meat filled with drugs and toxins. Buy grass fed grass finished meats, raw cheese and milk and support local farms to get actual good healthy food
Animal products are not the problem. The problem is commercial meat filled with drugs and toxins. Support local farms and buy grass fed/finished meat
Blue Zones better!
Debunked propaganda funded by the fake -meat , seed oil cartels and the Church of VEGOONISM. The jig is up, and these lies are finally coming to light. A meat-based diet is the ancient proper human diet as scientifically PROVEN by carbon dating the bones of human remains going back 1000's of years. End of story.
Blue Zones is a bunch of B.S. If you visit these places, they eat a lot more meat than what was said. Also, Hong Kong was left off the list completely. They have some of the longest living people and eat the most meat.
So many red flag comments, here! I would stay away from this interview. Canola oil is bad? Please, give me a break. And all fats are OK, whether plant or animal? She clearly does not have a nutrition background.
Canola oil is one of the hateful 8 oils. It's an industrial seed oil, highly inflammatory to the body. Dr Edes is is big proponent of healthy fats like coconut oil, olive oil, butter, avocado oil, and all the animal fats. She is a brilliant physician and researcher who believes food is medicine. Dig deeper.
Dr. Ede is a physician and nutrition scientist who is more than qualified to speak about dietary approaches to psychiatric disorders, nutrition science, and nutrition policy reform. Canola oil is an industrial seed oil and highly inflammatory to the body. Google the hateful 8 oils and you will find lots of info.

You have no idea what are you talking about!such a ignorant
Oh yes she does! That is how she treats patients. She is the real deal
