Dr Ede’s information is music to my ears. I only wish I had understood this decades ago. Both my parents, my 2 sisters and I have had adult lives taking antidepressants with no real change in symptoms. My diet change to low carb and then carnivore 36:35 was initially done to cure IBS and the brain health improvement has been an unexpected delightful side effect for me. It’s so reassuring to hear that there is real metabolic science behind my findings.
I’ve resolved Bipolar One with a basically carnivore with a few organic veggies keto diet, it’s made a huge difference. Along with supplements. I meditate and do somatic work. Feel far better than I did when medicated. It’s been a decade med free.
My healthcare professionals thought I was paranoid. I had an overwhelming feeling of doom. I’d have runs of ventricular tachycardia on the EKG. Unfortunately I wasn’t a fan of mRNA technology with refusal placing me in an awkward position. I kinda went off their radar long enough to drop a significant amount of weight by juice fasting. The interesting thing is this feeling of panic, paranoia, fright/flight anxiety or whatever became manageable. Once the weight came off I went mainly animal based concentrating on protein. This came in especially helpful with the discovery of metabolic dyscrasias (muscle invasive bladder cancer and a tumor on my right adrenal. Now with the tumor excised any mental dyscrasia is but a distant memory. Still had it with the cancer treatment though. lol. The important thing is to use a low carb diet to reveal the trees.
My family has a history of mental illness going back to at least my mother. She was hospitalized for what was termed back in the 70s as psychotic depression. I’ve been diagnosed with GAD, depression and ADHD. Unfortunately, my children have issues with anxiety disorders, the worst two having severe anxiety and the other OCD. Since receiving the jab, they both have left a status of being stable and functioning to not functioning well now. My question is I have heard ketogenic diets help with many conditions, but have never specifically heard OCD mentioned. Will it help with OCD in your experience? My son with OCD has been through a myriad of medications and is extremely frustrated after dealing with this severe OCD for the last year and a half. I am on a ketogenic diet now and definitely feel like my symptoms are better. Never going back to carbs!
Double darn! I’m so sorry I missed this conference. As a west coaster this would have been so helpful for me. 🤞🏾there will be another one soon.

Congratulations on your "side benefits!"

That is so awesome to hear!!!
Thank you for teaching us the right way to treat our bodies and brains.
