When my daughter was 9 she began acting like a completely crazy girl, had tantrums, tried running away etc. turns out it was gluten causing all her mental health symptoms and one month off gluten she was a new girl. And in the process we found out that I have celiac disease while she had gluten sensitivity. A psychiatrist would have put her on drugs. I thank God every day for the coincidences that led to me being able to find out and get the testing done that led to a diagnoses that we could easily treat.
Just to know, I am a psychiatrist practicing for over 25 years & have ALWAYS asked my patients about what they eat. Although I do prescribe medications if they seem to be needed, even for a short time, I recommend that they follow a gluten free diet to see if their symptoms improve. There are actually some good practitioners out there but are not easy to find.
This week I cancelled my boys' school lunches. I checked their ingredients. Full of flavourings, refined oils, flavoured fats , sugars, inverted syrups, emulsifiers and so on....desserts all in ready made mix bags and all they do is add water....sauces and gravy with flavourings, sugars....heartbreaking....and on their website they say they provide "briliant" and "excellent, quality food" ...so misleading and wrong...I think parents should be asked to give their consent for their kids to consume that poison....i cant believe that we allow this to happen to our kids
I congratulate you. If you are able to do healthy home baking with your child I think your difficult decision will be made easier. I wish you and your family well.
Elimating high FODMAP foods at age 47 saved me, after a lifetime of depression, brainfog, body aches, stomach issues, skin problems etc. Within a week, i felt notable differences. Thank god for interviews on youtube.
I am sooooo happy you have Georgia Ede on here! I have just started listening to her book. I have cured 17 years of bulima, and i was serious bulimia and ptsd I couldnt work, within 2 months due to removing upfs and adhering to a keto diet, I feel so amazing, and happy and calm, my body feels great. I feel so angry by the advice I was given by professionals which made the bulimia worse and my health worse. I almost lost my life due to it all. As I am a human biologist, I cant wait to help others break through from mental ill health through diet and following this protocol. Georgia Ede and Chris Palmer are world leaders in this field.
Incredible recovery story! Congratulations on turning your health around! We need you on the planet--we need biologists to help people understand the truth about nutrition science:)
I am happy for you but I am a professional and have been advising this type of diet to all my patients for years. I am glad you came across something revolutionary for you, but she is not talking about anything not already spoked about, and researched. when you say professionals, I am not sure which one you referring to, but as a medical professional we are not taught about diet. The food industry don't allow us to spread scientific facts. who feed us the idea that cereals covered in sugar in a bowl of milk is a good diet? try to tell people that is not and you see how resist they are. In Italy we were feed the idea that a slice of bread covered in Nutella and a glass of milk are the perfectly balanced breakfast. who you think did that? hint: Ferrero family (owners of Nutella). I can keep going for long. I know what I know because my dad is a diabetic obsessed with health and nutrition publications, so he inform me on any new finding. at the end after years of reading and learning, I came to the conclusion that anything processed or even treated by humans is not good. I am happy you were honest with yourself and was truly searching for an answer, but many are not. Even I sometimes refrain from given honest advices upon assessment of the individual in front of me. Many, lie lie lie, refuse to admit what they eat, refuse to accept they have a bad diet, they want a magic pill. Good luck!
What are we supposed to eat so must leave out carbs i think we must see what animals eat cause they never lost their inborn instinct we see a lot of grass and fruits God put on earth thats what we supposed to eat i think dont know
Its true people dont realize how much better one can feel. I been on a keto diet for a year now. Ill have a cheat meal from time to time but still very strict with what I eat. It got rid of my anxiety, depression, high blood pressure is gone. Mental clarity improved, my sleep improved, the list goes on. Its not easy at first start small & little by little you will develop a personal diet that works for you. Everyone body is different find what foods do you good & eliminate the ones that make you feel bad.
I’ve been sick for about 10+ years. Fibromyalgia, IBS, diverticulosis, PCOS, depression, anxiety, the list goes on… I was vegan/vegetarian for decades. Three days on a carnivore diet and many of my symptoms disappeared. Four months later and I’m feeling better than I’ve ever felt. I’m not 100% asymptomatic because I had a fibromyalgia flare up that lasted roughly 2 days after eating two Oreos. But when I am following the carnivore diet carefully, I feel amazing. It’s life-changing.
Amazing, carnivore made such a difference for me, not with chronic conditions but just changing the leghargy, fatigue, sluggish mornings. I need to return to it as I fell of the wagon lol.
I am a woman, who is a senior citizen. I have given up sugar, all carbs, soda, coffee. I started this journey on January '24. So since then I have lost 40 lbs. My black heads on my body are disappearing. How gross of me to tell you that, but I am here to tell you that I feel so much better. I have to remind myself to eat. I used to struggle to get up in the morning. Now I am wide awake at 5-6 am. I can smell sugar on other people. There are a few drawbacks. My sweat stinks, It smells bad! But my breath is great! A Lot of toxic pimples have erupted on my face. I am 69 years old forever, I haven't had a serious pimple in decades. The couple of times I have eaten sugary food I felt the difference almost immediately. Regards, Antionette
I switched to most veggies and meat (white meat and fish mostly, sometimes minced lamb) and very limited carbs(no rise , no pasta, no fast foods). First thing I noticed is no longer having morning breath. I didn't noticed any change in my sweating though. Also I can eat pretty much whenever I want day or night without gaining body weight.
Hi Antoinette, I’ve gone all the way to be a Carnivore, and through researching this there is a transitional period where there is Oxilate dumping. This is when people feel bad, have rashes and diarrhoea etc that your body is trying too get rid of toxins we have accumulated over the years! This will pass - it might take a couple of months but you will get there! Keep Strong!
It amazes me how society believes lies behind industry. I recently finished book called The 21 former doctor secrets by rachel morgan. She explained career thoughts perfectly
I've been eating healthy for a very long time. I've had friends comment on how much I spend on food, or tell me I should live a little, or argue with me about sugars and fats. They've all gotten very fat, wrinkly, grey with many developing heart disease or diabetes and taking expensive meds.
yup I am almost 60 still workout, run eat Whole Foods, healthy foods and don't look or act my age. People like to say "you must have really good genetics" !!! maybe for my cheekbones but my body and healthy are earned.
@@robinharris4247 I'm 63 and people tell me the same thing. Nope. My father and grandfathers all died in the 50's and early 60's. It's not good genes, it's healthy eating. By the way, they didn't say the same things 5 years ago when I was 50 lbs. heavier and constantly complaining about aches and pains.
True, you can spend more on real food or spend a lot more on doctor bills. Not to mention pharma might keep you alive longer but it won't make you healthy. It's amazing (and sad) that people don't realize that what you put in the body affects the health of the body.
Same… It has been implied like I have cheated in someway to get to my healthy stats, appearance, still equipped w/playfulness and positive outlook etc. I work at it, spend time learning about it, I get up and exercise when that’s the last thing I feel like doing at times~ I sacrifice for it…. I am the lone wolf in my immediate family not on meds. I am the lone one not on insulin, the solo one w/o high blood pressure, no fatty liver and more. It is a conscious decision to not risk loosing a leg like my mother from diabetes 2, or my Sister who is near blind (T2DM retinopathy), or no longer here… like my beloved Brother. I made a deliberate and conscious decision, no cheating, no lucky genes. I just chose to walk a different path than my family. I decided to eat completely different and walk the healthy road.
The typical diet in many Latin American countries includes red kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, and rice! My grandparents lived until they were 97-99 years old, were not on a bunch of medicines, and had their brains working fine. It's complex this subject with food. I love grains; I grew up eating grains, and legumes as a source of protein, as we did not eat that much meat or red meat. I have been very healthy until now when I am 49 years old.
Yes avoiding the junk food is the most important thing. If you feel completely mentally and physically healthy, take no medications, and have normal glucose, insulin, triglyceride, and nutrient levels (especially ferritin and B12 levels) and normal blood pressure, no aches/pains, good mood and concentration and energy, you may not feel it's worth it to make any additional changes.
One size does not fit all! Beans are poison for me being an O blood type. I need meat and fat and very few vegetables and make myself Moringa tablets and take a lot of them. This has cured my gut problem when I stay on it...which is very challenging !!!
@@colleennewell3264 My point exactly. So, the narrative that legumes are bad for you is a generalization, and it should not be done. As I stated in my comment, some cultures consume a lot of legumes, and it's okay for that population. Beans are bad for you; I do not have an issue with beans.
It’s really depends on your body. I love my beans and ate it for many years but it was only when I stop eating my blood pressure and triglycerides level normalized. It maybe fine for certain people but they can be harmful for others. Meat is apparently not an issue either. My grandparents loved their pork and beef and ate tons of them. My grandpa died at 98 because of an accident and grand ma died 101 because she missed grandpa.
1:26:38 Okay, so I have now watched the whole video, and this is what I'm taking away. She's specifically talking to me and people like me. I've taken several different medications for depression over the years, and I'm now having metabolic issues. So, for me, this isn't about longevity. It's about feeling better. If you feel good eating legumes and grains, you are absolutely right to stay on that path. If, however, you feel sick on a whole foods plant based diet, it may be time to consider losing the beans and grains. EDIT: I tried to find balance for six plus years on a WFPBD. I'm happy it works for some of you, but it doesn't work for everyone.
All of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Extreme thirst, dry mouth, frequent urination, fatigue, sleeping after meals, nerve tingling. Classic diabetes symptoms, but an A1C of 5.6 which is still normal.
@@8yearsago153 Exactly. A1C is one of the last dominoes to fall on the road to type 2 diabetes. It can remain normal for many years while other markers of metabolic health deteriorate. Much earlier warning signs of declining metabolic health include fasting insulin levels (ideal = below 10), fasting triglycerides (ideal = below 100 mg/dl), and waist-to-height circumference (waist should be less than half your height).
OR could it be time to consider balancing the whole foods plant based diet. Still include beans and grains. Improve on daily exercise, water intake and work with the seasons. I have started to be aware of changes to my diet and energy as the seasons change. Recently I have discovered sound healing helps manage my depression When I have a sound bath my nervous system is relaxed on a cellular level. I also work on improving my sleep by using a camomile and lavender pillow mist PLUS a valerian, hops and camomile tea at bedtime.
I take an anti-depressant and the lowest prescribed dosage of a drug for "mood swings". I eat a low sugar, Mediterranean diet, very little rice, pasta, bread, no juices or soda, and no alcohol but plenty of water. I power-walk daily and I sleep a good 8 hours at night. My blood work is normal for a 70 yr. old woman, however my fructosamine (glycated protein?) levels are high. I was told to not indulge in sweet desserts, which I never do nor have done in over 40 years. I don't quite know what's going on...
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Micro dosing is the only thing for my nerve pain. No one knows how it works. I only take 30mg (was 60mg at height of pain) and I couldn’t manage living without it.
I am 67 and have not had a sniffle in over 24 years. I follow the Weston A Price Foundation Guidelines. I am stronger, healthier, and have more stamina now then I did when I was 25. Asthma gone, and never get a virus.
@@danrayson- interesting! Forgiveness is so important! I know people who have miraculously healed things without ever changing their diet just by using forgiveness!
Where do you live? If you don't live around others and keep a very quiet social life that would play into the lack of contracted viruses. Much more to everyone's story than diet alone, though obviously that plays a huge role as well. Just not enough info here to draw any truthful conclusions.
@@marvanbeeI live in the upstate of SC. I work 60 hours a week in crowds of people who are shopping. I took care of 4 people in my home with Covid-19 without gloves nor masks and never got covid. The immune system is superior to anything if you protect it from anti bacterial products. What mouthwash kills 99.9% of germs? That same mouthwash kills all of your good microbiome!! My mouth and gut microbiome make me immortal. Feed it and protect it.
@@yeldarleumas1847I think he’s trying to illustrate an important point: that food science shouldn’t be like a stock market with buyers and sellers. We are woefully short on consensus.
In the book I recommend starting with a moderate-carbohydrate paleo diet then if that doesn't help enough, advancing to a ketogenic paleo diet, and if that doesn't help enough, considering a ketogenic carnivore diet. Lots more information about how to do this safely and how to personalize each plan for individuals, but that's the basic outline.
It's true that what we ate 200 yrs ago was much healthier than what we eat today, but 'd prefer to go back to about 10,000 years to what we ate for nearly 2 million years of our evolutionary history.
@@cgc1581 poisoning fruits and veg tables? What about 70 to 80% of the antibiotics produced in the world is given to farm animals to treat and prevent diseases + help with growth? This is serious and cause super bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Humanity will pay a very high price for all the evil we do to the animals, and we deserve all of it
As a diabetic, two months ago my blood sugars were high, because of my poor diet. I have gone almost no carb now - as in processed carbs, ie bread, pasta, rice, cereals, etc - occasionally I will have a little sourdough bread, but any carbs sky rocket my blood sugar, so what’s the alternative? Don’t eat them. Sure, it takes some doing initially, but I have halved my blood sugars by cutting out most processed foods & eating mostly meat and vegetables, plain yogurt, a little milk & some cheese, the occasional apple & a date or two every now and then. I know that if I want the rest of my life to be as healthy as can be, I cannot go back to my old habits. It’s a challenge I am up for and I am not giving up - these are just the sort videos that give me the motivation I need to continue👍🏻
@@lovelyjubbly4151 You don’t replace them, you learn not to eat them and eat more healthier unprocessed meat and vegetables & some fruits, cheese & plain full fat yoghurt - that’s what I’ve done anyway and it’s working for me. We are all different, you have to find out what is best for you.
contrary to popular belief carbohydrates are not exactly the problem, your body is no longer able to process simple carbs it was never meant to replace them with complex carbs e.g millet, sprouted brown rice, wholegrain pasta, legumes etc over time your body will adjust and process those better the secret is the fibre simple carbs don't have that
I have a zero tolerance rule about any product with seed oils and natural flavors. No matter how much I feel like it, if I see them on the ingredients list I put it back on the shelf. Imagine how screwed we'd be if an ingredients list wasn't mandatory!!
I went to a nutritionist about four years ago. Nothing had ever worked to help me lose weight and I was always depressed. I started having fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, and bread at every meal. Within just a few days, I felt less depressed. I noticed a difference in my brain performance and just how I felt overall was better. I'm still making sure to get each of those at every meal. I've not lost weight, but I don't want to go back to having my body and brain feel depressed from food. This past year, I've successfully cut down dramatically on sugar. One change that has helped me lose 10 pounds and not continue gaining weight is that I switched to drinking a soda that is sugar-free and calorie-free (and doesn't have aspartame) - Zevia.
You need to keep an eye on added sweetener. Many studies show they destroy your gut microbes and this in itself can cause health problems. Also, not adding sugar still leads you to be consuming citric acid, which is bad for your tooth enamel and eats away at it, so be careful. No sugar can be harmful if what they then ADD causes health problems, itself. My friend used to be proud to show me her packets of 'sugar-free' biscuits, but when they take out sugar, they often add back in extra fat, because sugar & fat are partly what makes food taste good. Vice versa, if a product is 'fat-free' they often add extra sugar to compensate & make it taste better. Better to eat more natural fruit whole, that way you eat the fibre with it also, and get the added nutritional benefit of all the vitamins & anti-oxidants contained in it. Even fruit juices are problematic, because it's very concentrated ie you need a lot of, say, oranges to make a tall glass of it, whereas if you ate the whole fruit you'd probably only eat one/two pieces of fruit AND get the added benefit of the fibre. The chemicals in sodas can also cause health & behavioural problems in children, so I'm sure that is true also for adults. There are loads of really healthy, interesting herbal teas out there now, so you could experiment with those, instead. If you're craving something other than water, ŕtry making your own with just some lemon juice, water and sugar, that way you can control how much sugar you're consuming. It is very refreshing to drink on a hot summers day. I wouldn't drink it all the time, but it has really helped me when I became quite dehydrated at one point in the summer after a bad cold. I know suddenly going 'cold turkey' can seem daunting, but your taste buds (over time) will become less tolerant of very sweet things when you cut out all that junk food from your diet, bit you will be healthier & more richer!) for cutting it out. If you save the money ypu⁹ eiukd give didn't kn diet soda & other such drinks in a month & boy & instead, buy yourself a treat at the end of the month. I hope you found some of this helped.
I used to be a vegetarian who loved my beans, rice, and sweet potato’s but suffered from high blood pressure, high triglycerides, brain fog, and pre-diabetic all my life. Becoming vegetarian and working out in my 30s helped me improve my health because I gave up eating processed food but in my 40s I hit a plateau. It was only I cut off carbs like beans and started doing keto I began to see my lab test dramatically improve in just a year. Now I’m mostly carnivore (sometimes I fall off the wagon and eat a sweet potato) and feeling great with a ton of energy. All my lab and blood tests are normal. So thankful . To be fair My wife is still a vegetarian and has been for years and she is doing fine. We just have all different bodies that respond to different things.
Respectfully, have you considered that animals are enslaved, tortured and murdered to satisfy your change in palate desires? And have you considered that you are greatly increasing your risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer and a host of other diseases? if you weren't well on a vegetarian diet, you were doing something wrong, and it wasn't a lack of meat. Humans are not designed to eat meat. Not criticizing you - I'm a 50-year vegan among many carnivore friends - but you're on the wrong path. And I am biased: I don't think that people are more important to animals. They have as much right to be here and live as we do.
@@markj7612 I get regular lab checks since I went all meat 15 years ago and my heart and cardiovascular health are all normal. All of the research papers that I have studied that claim that meat cause disease are flawed using low quality data gathering methods like questionnaires and poor methodology conflating meat eating with poor diet and lifestyle choices. As for the ethics of plant food, the cultivation of plant based staples crops such as almonds, avocados, cocoa, cashews, and palm oil has significant environmental and social impacts. These crops often require intensive resource use, including water for almonds and land for palm oil, which can lead to habitat destruction. The practices of a typical farm in poor countries there most of these crops come from can sometimes involve unethical labor conditions, including underpaid or forced labor. The impact on wildlife is also a concern, with many species harmed by habitat loss or killed as pests. Is it really less harm? How do you properly quantify that? How do you objectively measure less harm? It seems all speculation to me.
That isn't respectful @@markj7612. Condemning people to ill health and suffering because of ideals is a common trait today. A vegan diet necessitates supplementation, and cannot therefore be considered innately healthy. The reason the original Mediterranean diet was healthy is because of its high fat content, especially nuts and olives. That's because our body's fat is 57% monounsaturated, but also 40% saturated. Cutting out animal fats has contributed to many people becoming ill because removing the fat from protein raises the demand for insulin. God bless you.
@@Starbreaker2012 Respectfully, your comment is a pack of lies. "A vegan diet necessitates supplementation". That's a lie. How do you know that? Have you ever been vegan? I have, for 55 years, and I made my living in the construction, doing arduous labor day after day that you probably can't do. I've never taken a supplement, and I've never been sick. You should speak from experience before promulgating false postulates. Humans are so idiotic. No common sense. Our close cousins, the great apes, pound for pound one of the strongest animals on the planet, are not only vegan, but they eat only raw foods, with exception of one sub-species that eats a small amount of insects. They don't take supplements. Are there unhealthy vegans? Of course there are, but that's not because they're vegan. It's because they eat foods that they shouldn't eat, just like carnivores do. Are there unhealthy carnivores???!!!!. There are billions of them The number one cause of unnatural death in the world is cardiovascular disease. That's because people are carnivores. I will not read your reply to this. I'm only interested in dialogue with well-informed people, and you are not well-informed. Opinions not based on fact are worthless and destructive. Humans are designed for a plant-based diet, not a carnivore diet. But here is the main thing: You obviously, selfishly, cruelly and ignorantly, do not care about the enslavement, torture and murder of animals. You think that you are more important than they are. You're not. I stand with them, not with with. Unless you evolve, they're better than you are.
@markj7612 Have you considered all the wild animals that are ran over, slashed to bits, tilling and harvesting those veggies? The pesticides sprayed killing beneficial insects, killing birds? The water poisoned in the process? And the you eat it. So don't bash carnivores. Actually the animals are treated better and humanely than those killed by vegans.
I'm so tired, trying to follow a healthy eating regime when you have a food addiction is like asking an alcoholic to only have one drink a day. I'd like to give up the whole ritual of buying, cooking and eating food. Is there a drink that provides everything I need so I can just down it, and focus on life?
Your comment resonated with me. Three months ago I was wandering around the supermarket & concluded, I am not enjoying this, I don't know what to buy, I don't want to prepare it... and many, many other indications. I was feeling very low. Then one day, a video came up on my feed as if it was speaking to me!! I became a 'steak a day'. Delicious and easy to cook. It has been miraculous; plus no sugar or carbs. I feel lighter, brighter and happier.
I know, ultraprocessed food addiction is really tough, and you're not alone! I have dealt with this personally, in my family, and in my practice. I've had patients who have successfully beaten alcohol and even serious drug addictions who feel powerless over food. However it can really help to identify and remove the foods you find addictive and focus on the ones that make you feel good, satisfied and in control. You might find the wonderful work of UK-based food addiction psychologist Dr. Jen Unwin useful. She wrote a very helpful book called A Fork in the Road which is all about strategies that have worked for people with food addiction (including herself).
Switching my shopping to the local Chinese supermarket in my area has made a marked improvement in my digestive issues and overall health quality. It's so easy to just pick up some produce and fresh fish or meat off cuts for nothing and make meals from scratch; and I've essentially stopped eating all processed foods as a result of switching over to a basic whole food diet. Nothing extreme, just basic, natural foods. That change alone made an instant difference in everything for me--including drastically reducing cravings for sugar and processed foods and replacing them with satiety.
I'm already leaning towards this because of histamine intolerance & find that when I eat high protein & low carbs, my mood, energy levels & clarity improve. As well as less joint pain. This couldn't be a more timely video for me, will give this a proper go!
Great that you have found a way of eating that helps you feel better! I include information about histamine intolerance in the book (I have had this issue myself so I know how challenging it can be to eat a low-histamine diet).
I was litterly diagnosed with dementia at 24 after losing part my brain from an eating disorder , after About 3 years denial after coming come , I started only eating powr foods by the time 5 years past my next doctor couldn't believe my diagnosis, he litterly had to look in my medical file to believe it he told me whatever you are doing, don't stop , its been ten years now and I feel my brain health changed even my depression now too somewhat , than I went off the diet a few months and I'm back to struggling in my health , I'm just starting back on brain power foods

So interesting…. Bought a second hand book many years ago….. called. “Not all in the mind”. When one of my daughters was troubled with anxiety and depression. Straight away I put her on a wheat free and E number free diet. The result was amazing. After only 3weeks there was a distinct change. Then she went on to be tested for food intolerance after suffering with extreme urticaria. My belief is that the body gets inflamed from intolerance or food sensitivity. This can then affect brain chemicals/functions. She is a different woman to way back when 😀😀. Watch the diet. I am now on a gluten and non dairy diet because of some health issues. 🌈💜
I love Dr Georgia Ede! Both my kids have benefited from consulting with her. Thank you for interviewing her. It was an excellent interview. I learned several new things. She is very intelligent and really cares about people and I trust her to help us research and learn is very important information thank you, Dr. Ede. Thank you too Dr. Chatterjee for all your work in this field. 👍👍🦖
Great discussion. Not everything works for everybody. You maybe vegan or carnivore and that works for YOU, may not work for someone else. Some can do cocaine once or twice and walk away and others it's the beginning of a lifetime addiction. We are all individuals, but this is a great place to start and figure out what is best for you.
My partner has been vegan for 35 years, living on beans, fruit, veg and grains etc. He is the fittest person i know, can cycle for four hours on variable terrain, and runs. I think what matters is a varied , wholefood diet, offering the broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, good bacteria etc.
Some people are more sensitive to vegetables than others. Those that have gut inflammation issues tend to get better by sharply limiting the veggies they consume
Not often do I appreciate a plug for some product or practice, Dr Chatterjee, but your brief pitch about journaling was just what I needed to hear today. Thank you! 🙏
Food is very important, so start a guard.Don't go to the grocery store and buy food that is in surrender up and plastic wrapped up with whole bunch of plastic plastic plastic plastic plastic. When I was growing up, my dad would say go out in the garden and get her much.There was no plastic on the tomatoes.There was no plastic on the green.Onions are on the lettuce. And yet we go into the grocery store and we walk around.We buy all the food that we're supposed to eat.Even organic and what's on it plastic.. Get rid of the plastic
EXCELLENT interview and information.....My friend has just started the program & I will too in a few days. We both ordered the book. Can't wait to be who I was meant to be....Thank you both...... .
Following the advice of Dr. Georgia Ede and Dr. Jason Fung as well, I have been on a path of eating an animal-based diet: all the meats, especially fatty cuts, with some dairy, avocados, and olives. I was on Prozac for about 10 years, added Lamotrigine as it wasn't working as well as I was hoping. And, I often still needed Xanax for panic attacks. After six months of changing my diet, and some intermittent fasting, I no longer take psychiatric medications. None. I am not going back...
It really is fascinating. Just yesterday, I ate canelli beans, and noticed how happy my body felt. I still go in and out of ketosis from time to time but frankly I lose weight and feel a million times better with meat as a condiment. People are different. That has been my conclusion, after trying all the ways.
Great conversation! Tough sell on grains & legumes, but I see her point. I live in India & I feel sorry for people who have to eat some variation of the SAD for whatever reason. There really is no one size fits all solution… an individualized approach is best, as you point out. Thank you🙏🏽
I was in the check out line at a warehouse type store and was chatting with the lady next to me who had boxes of frozen corn dogs, Hot Pockets, soda, candy etc. She said she's not shopping for a restaurant or party, but this is what she feeds her family including 3 children every day because it's 'what they want' and easy to prepare in a microwave. She thought she was clever with her food choices for flavor and simple preparation. I wonder for those that think a meal means they just feel full after eating especially in children what will be their outcome later in life.
Any discussion/analysis of whole foods should include information on the degradation of these foods thru industrial farming practices. This applies to grains, legumes, meats, fish , fruit and vegetables. All of these foods are not nearly as whole (nutrient dense) as they were 60 to 80 years ago. So, are grains problematic, or are grains lacking a range of micronutrients the problem behind mental and physical health related to nutrition. Etc, etc
It's true that pollution and industrial food production practices have reduced the nutritional quality and the safety of most of our plant and animal foods. That being said, there is anthropological evidence that grains have always been problematic for humans, which I explain more about in the book.
@@44point5 mostly probably it is the processed foods ppl eat now, not the quality of the foods . They don’t even think about it or realize it’s processed. Not many consume whole grains or legumes in the correct quantities.Vegetables and fruits are scant as well. The body needs those for vitamins and minerals….
@@wgg6188 I think the evidence that ultra processed 'food' is poison is irrefutable. Not all processed food is bad and some, especially a range of fermented foods, are good in my experience and according to numerous studies. But folks need to be aware that nutrient deficiency of non processed food matters. When I was in school many decades ago, the science of the day identified a handful of essential macro nutrients and a few essential micronutrients. I remember about 17 in total in the 1960's (working from memory). Today we know there are at least 42. It is obvious that greed driven corporations deliberately design junk food to make it addictive. What is less obvious is how this addiction is sustained through cravings for needed nutrients. Over the decades agricultural practices have stripped grains, fruit and vegetables, and meat and dairy of many of the nutrients, especially micronutrients. If you want to learn how this occurs, I suggest you listen to a series of talks by Christine Jones, a renowned Australian soils ecologist. I assure you she is on top of the science, which itself has greatly advanced in recent years thanks to DNA sequencing, huge advances in microscopy, and numerous field experiments. Dr. Jones is an excellent communicator as well as an advisor to innovative farmers on 5 continents. Look up her webinars at Green Cover Seeds: Secrets of the Soil Socio-biome, Nitrogen - A Double Edged Sword, The Phosphorus Paradox.
@@GeorgiaEdeMD Always is a long time. Advances in techniques employed in archaeology indicate that at least some humans have been grinding and presumably consuming grain for 30 thousand years. Even if we limit 'always' to the Neolithic forward in time, there is no way to do other than speculate that grain consumption, in itself, was the cause of health problems or changes in physical stature, as have been observed. Much more likely, the introduction of social hierarchy, settlement, population increases, increased scarcity and local extinction of plants and animals consumed for millennia, and loss of knowledge related to finding and using these species provide a better explanation than eating grain. Now, I am an omnivore who eats modest amounts of red and white meats. So I don't have a 'vegan agenda', but I think you need to dial down your meat advocacy. The factory meat available to most people is on the whole processed corn, processed by distressed animals in concentration camps, kept alive by enormous quantities of antibiotics. The corn, soybeans, and even the hay they may get is nutrient poor and dependent on enormous applications of glyphosate among other poisons. To understand nutrient deficiency in farmed produce I suggest you find Christine Jones as mentioned elsewhere in this thread. I think (and hope) that you would also find value in the book 'Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us About Recovering Our Nutritional Wisdom' by Fred Provenza. Dr Provenza is a renowned animal behaviourist with decades of research experience. I believe you make some good points in the two interviews I have listened to. But I will await the revised edition of your book.
Thank you for sharing, when I moved to London UK in 1984! The first thing choked me is the food and especially the country’s diet. I came from a Mediterranean (relatively poor country). The awareness of food is changed immensely but I feel there is a long way to go!
The Blue Zone diet studies seem to indicate that legumes are a very beneficial source of non animal fiber and protein. I appreciate that not everyone tolerates legumes but I've found that I feel vibrant and energized at 66 with a mostly pescatarian/plant based diet. My glucose, triglycerides and lipids all dropped dramatically on this regimen. I exercise daily, my memory is still excellent, and I sleep well. I think it's important to recognize how different we all are. I do follow Dr. Chris Palmer's work on ketogenic diets for certain psychological disorders. Individualized medicine is where we need to go.
Unfortunately the Blue Zone studies are not scientific studies. They are untested theories generated without any real concrete dietary data (see above).
The majority of fish is full of poison these days. The oceans are polluted. A whole food plant based diet is all you need to be your healthy, energetic self. I'm 70 and doing fine. I also believe that food is grown, not born.
You could be great on this diet, but incredible on the keto. I was vegan for 11 years and eating soy, grains and all kinds of lectins. Thought my memory was great, but once I went keto, my thought process and memory improved 10fold.
I eat , almost, very well. T2 diabetic for over 40 years. Lost a ton of weight, exercise a lot and endlessly learning about nutrition and good life styles. Great lab work and almost 84. Just a recent thought to share….eat as your grandparents generation did. Mine were Italian and Irish. The Italians lived into their 90s . Some of the Irish did too. Self care rules every day except those visits to doctors. Only WE can improve our lives. Oh…include nurses and nutritionists in your medical visits.
I grew up as a fat kid and remembering that that was bad of course eating tons of carbs. Now it’s the opposite good fats are good carbs are bad. My life has changed.
Enough is enough ! Everyone knows what they need to do. One says don’t eat this it’s bad for you , the other says eat this, it’s good for you! The barrage of information is overwhelming!
I say listen to EVERYONE and pull out the information that you notice all of them are basically agreeing on. The problem is that metabolic health is a (surprisingly) "new" science.... even though we THINK it's been studied for decades. No. It's been co-opted by the food industry for decades, and only now are professionals starting to break out and dig into the truth of things. I've been listening to a plethora of sources for a few years now and have been able to pull out a lot of "truths" from across the board, but there is still a lot of work to be done to truly understand it all (I'm talking for the scientists.) The human body is a miraculous and complex system. Everything relates to everything in the body, so finding the best homeostatic diet is not only equally complex, but differs in variation for everyone.
You gotta look at things at a macro level, and pick the important pieces and focus more in-depth research on those things. It's daunting, for sure. You also need to find what provides YOU results, and then study the f*** out of THOSE things.
No, most people don't know what to do. We've been brainwashed into eating what's not good for us and discarding what is truly good for us. None of the research that has been carried out in the last five or six decades is not tainted with money from the pharmaceutical and food industries and, I've come to learn recently, a particular religious ideology. We need to go back to see what the human species was eating right at the beginning. Tigers are still eating what they've always eaten, as are elephants. It's only humans who are eating nothing like they did at the beginning. We need to go back to eating like the hunter-gatherers we started as. Because our physiology has not changed much, so why has our diet completely changed?
It's easy to figure out what you need.And that is the proper human diet.The proper human diet is meat-based diet.Animal protein and animal fat.No crumb hydrates no seed oils no sugars and grains😊
If you have gut problems removing all plant matters the way to go. I suffered 35 years of chronic bowel disease...cured in 3 days on a pure carnivore diet.
may vary with people but it was stopping grains that rid me of excess gas in a day, still eating low carb fruit and veg, keto will make stubborn fat disappear but you have to eat a lot of fat (olive oil, coconut oil, double cream if you don't do fatty meats) or your muscles will be affected. Nearly one month on keto, fat gone, hand cramps gone and long distance vision improved (both fairly recent problems) so will do another month to see if my stiff knees and reading glasses can be chucked (decade old problems).
This is very good knowledge to have for yourself and your decision making. I agree with most of it! I have to chime in on a couple of topics that are just as important as these 5 foods that should be considered eliminating from your diet. 1) when eating meat it is very important to know what type of food that animal was fed, just because you purchase the darker meat like the thigh with bone if that animal is being fed the wrong foods you are getting just as much as those toxins when you eat that meat, same goes for eggs, if you eat eggs from a caged chicken that is fed toxic food the eggs are not healthy, but eating eggs from pasture raised chickens much better. 95% to 98% of all soybeans are now genetically modified so eating tofu might give the vegan diet a boost of protein but the herbicides/pesticides that can be in that soy can be just as toxic and inflammatory. Very interesting about the legumes theory and good to know about that toxin considerations, lentils and beans were my two favorites. As far as grains, on occasion steel cut oats were a rare food for me and an occasional cup of rice is all I ever had. I whole heartedly agree about the first 3 with 100% certainty, I agree with the last 2 also but not at 100%. I will still enjoy a glass of pinot noir on rare occasions but I will not lie to myself that it's good for me. lol
I completely agree that it's important to find the healthiest plant and animal foods we can find and afford--unfortunately so much of our food is grown or raised the wrong way, which compromises the health of soil, animals, and humans alike. I do my best to address this in the book as well, especially in the chapter about meat.
I used to be allergic to the sun, trees, all plants, nuts, and fruit until 2010. And yes... if I stayed indoors with the blinds down, I had no problems with the sun (you could say that the sun was clearly at fault). If I didn’t eat nuts, I had no issues and could claim that nuts were the problem. If I didn’t eat fruit, I had no issues either, so I could have claimed that fruit was the problem. And if I didn’t go to the forest and stayed in the city, I felt better too: so the forest was the reason for my illness. Do you understand? No, my metabolic condition was challenged by exercising 18 hours a week and eating the SAD diet. Now I eat everything: nuts, fruit, no more hay fever, and I can be in the sun, so it wasn’t those things making me sick but my unhealthy gut and overall immune system. I am now 51, fit, my gut is healthy, no more brain fog, no more irritable bowel syndrome, no more allergies... But if you want to scare people away from grains and legumes, while others on the internet are telling people how dangerous meat, dairy, eggs, and fish are, it will result in more eating disorders than ever before. In the long term, doctors will be staing very busy.
Here are the key points using Google Gemini: People have been mislead about what constitutes a brain-healthy diet for many generations. The standard American diet (SAD) is high in refined carbohydrates, sugar, vegetable oils, and grains, and these are harmful to the brain. People with mental health problems can benefit from changing their diet. Some of the most harmful foods include refined carbohydrates, sugary drinks, processed vegetable oils, and grains. Legumes and some whole grains are also on the list of foods to avoid according to the speaker, but this is a more controversial take. Alcohol is another substance that can be damaging to the brain. It is important to experiment and find a diet that works for you, but some people may need to completely avoid certain foods.
Her diet cannot be sustained. Animal protein is the worst! Dairy makes a 100 lb calf become an 800 lb cow in less than a year. What do you suppose it does to humans who eat cheese, butter and drink milk?
@@wgg6188meat is the best source of many of the vitamins and minerals we need and a good source for most others. Pork is the number 1 source for B1 in a practical serving. Taurine is one of the most important amino acids and is found in shrimp, salmon and beef. Legumes don't stack up at all with meat in terms of protein and vitamins and minerals.
I find it fascinating that doctors say they feel learning about food and nutrition in relation to health was beneath them. How does a human grow from the start without food? Food is miraculous because we become what we are from what we have eaten! We have seen the devastation of starvation and what happens with absence of vitamins and whole foods does ie scurvy from vitamin c deficiency. I also find it interesting how doctors will tell patients to not eat certain foods because they will interfere with a medication, if they didn’t believe in the power of food, why would they believe in the power of it to interfere with medication?
@@GeorgiaEdeMD thank you for your openness and speaking and sharing your new knowledge on the topic; we can only do as good as what we know. I look forward to exploring your book :)
Some wine can be beneficial (as well as grape tea / juice) I was surprised to learn that it is good for rheumatoid arthritis or any type of arthritis (Chinese medicine says it)
Dr Ranjan,please please have a podcast about recurring UTI,which is commonly caused by EC .Urologists and GPs in the UK prescribe only antibiotics, which has led to antibiotic resistance and they also kill the good gut bacteria, leading to a compromised immune system,low white blood cells , cancer and low quality of life and functioning. The percentage of females with chronic untreatable UTI is raising in the UK.I am sure that there are practitioners which can educate us by adopting a holistic(not symptomatic) approach to treatment. Scientific evidence suggests that there are specific bacteria in the gut which can mitigate the UTI,but there is no medication/supplement which consists of these bacteria. I would appreciate your view on this significant and very common health condition among females.Thanks
Everyone is a little different insofar as diet is concerned. Some are wreaked by Fiber, beans, leafy greens etc. if they don’t bother you great. With autoimmune disease, and bad guts, I personally must be very careful with what I eat.
LEGUMES especially, have been shown to be VERY HELPFUL by people like Dr Michael Greger and others, as well as the testimonials from centenarians around the world!
As far as mental health I have always done better subtracting carbs (including the sugars and starches in fruits and veggies) and adding animal fats. Always.
Common sense must prevail with diet. Junk food is out, processed foods too. We all know alcohol is bad for us in large amounts. A well balanced diet that our grandparents ate is the way to go.
The problem is that the same food our grandparents ate nowadays is far from the same quality. Even organic butter I am not sure what is made of. Plus the environment, water, lifestyle- so many new gadgets all that electra-magnetic field, noise pollution, air pollution, sitting lifestyle, lack of meaningful friends and long term relationships. These things are there without us noticing it, but they affect us on a daily basis.
Hard to be healthy . They want all the remote workers back in the grey buildings . Travel time eats into exercise and family time. They pump sewage into the water and then put the water charges on so tax payer pays. They manufacture food like substance which they know are highly addictive and carcinogenic. The Lough of Neagh is full of blue green algie. The rivers are having toxic chemicals poured in. Guess what we have Cameras everywhere but none watching the toxic dumpers. Hugh Fernly tried to interview a health minister at a conference held by the big sugar. Guess what the guy ran away from him. So UK and Ireland two very sick nations. But bring every one back to the office and we can all carry on regardless. My motto walk briskly 10 mins 3 x per day. Fast until lunchtime. Eat good quality meat and veg if u like veg. Fruit in season. Tell yourself your worth it.😊
Can they make things any more confusing. Some videos say to stay away from meat altogether. Others say protein is the most important and to supplement if you are eating vegan. Now this lady is saying to stay away from Legumes as well?! Like can they make all of this misinformation any more confusing? I want to do the right thing but it seems nearly impossible to figure out what that is...
One wonders if "training in psychiatry" with the "therapies" led by the DSM can be of any use to a "doctor" seeking healing through "food therapy," which I consider a "breakthrough science" that has not YET reached its highest development. I remember Dr. Dean Ornish from my heart health days, back in the 1990s. This is still evolving. Thank you both for your efforts.
Dr Will Bulsiewicz who wrote Fiber Fueled, and Dr Erica and Justin Sonnenburg who wrote the Good Gut, say that legumes and whole grains are good for the microbiome. Their books are backed up by peer reviewed studies.
Gee, listening to actual clinicians. Sadly, not a concern of management or administrators. I've been an inpatient RN for40 years. It's a constant struggle to provide good patient care.
Totally. I work in a hospital ward - management act like they are doing us a favour by supplying us with free white and brown bread, cheap jam, peanut butter with added sugar and salt and seed oil margarine to eat on our breaks. You think they would know better.
Excellent interview 🙌SOOOO glad I ignored the comments about the legumes and it being another fad 🙄I’ve never heard Dr Georgia before and I listen to quite a few medical podcasts, let’s hope she’s doing the rounds! I am thrilled that she has study data for the non-believers that have to see a clinical trial before they’ll even entertain the idea that a simple change like cutting out UPFs could actually make them feel better, physically and mentally 🙄imagine that! And I need to clip her segment on alcohol. I love wine but in recent years it is not loving me back and I’ve given up for a while. Heading into perimenopause any time now so it’s more important than ever to be a grown up about diet and lifestyle choices 😬
Whole foods, plant based, beans, grains and all. Ditched salt, sugar and oil. Get omegas from nuts and seeds and everything I need from plant foods. Feel amazing. Mood better. Sleep better. More energy and focus. Six months on and I have no plans to change. Feel ten years younger.
Good stuff 👍🏿, I stopped all my blood pressure medications and it's now three years just because I stopped eating high calorie sick and diabetic corn fed animals they sell as protein but in fact it's just some trash protein upon which viruses latch.
@@vadimkravets9209 Actually I discovered that we don't need to eat every day like they tell us especially if you had a healthy childhood growth. Our bodies are designed for scarcity and not abundance.
@@JerryMc47 Not really but what I know is that animals immune systems are limited to their diet, plants don't move so they develop chemicals to defend themselves from being eaten and disappear from the environment. When we extract these chemicals or chemical elements we call them spices and or home remedial medicines. In reality, plants are actually farming us, by giving us oxygen daily, until we all eventually decompose so that they can consume us. That is why I am against the Idea of cremation because it robs the plants of food and essential nutrients. We are rich in nutrients that could be of use to plants....kkk
The term superfoods is a term folks throw in to sell more for profit. I have seen so many “quote” superfoods. The only food is anything that is nutrient dense.
I wish I had known this all those years ago. Basically what I get out of this is that everything refined by processing the food is harmful to the body because your body does not like anything refined and whole food is good.
I shop only food that is recognizable by my brain as food. If is in the box or can, or ready made by someone else , I don’t buy it. Yes wine was used very diligently mostly as medicine,boiled with black pepper cinnamon.
I dont drink every day (maybe 1-3 days per week), but as ive gotten older (and fatter), I have difficulty controlling how much I intake at each sitting.... and bad habits have developed for me (like slow-rolling alcohol for an entire Saturday). Its just come to a point where I need to abstain completely because I can't trust myself anymore. And I'm not getting "drunk". I just enjoy it too much and I can handle A LOT more than I used to be able to. It's all bad.
You're not alone friend. I've been sober for almost 20 years it still hurts when I see people struggling with alcohol. This stuff about nutrition and health and fitness is very compelling . to be able to reduce sugars and Grains and lose your desire for alcohol man that sounds like a miracle.
One more thing. Our liver processes alcohol. If you get drunk rather quickly it's because it's working and metabolizing the alcohol. If you can drink all day and not feel the effects that much, you're facing liver damage! it's not metabolizing it properly because you have liver disease. Only aging alcoholics used to get fatty liver disease or cirrhosis but today 10-year-olds are presenting at doctor's office with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease from sugar.💪❤️🔥

When my daughter was 9 she began acting like a completely crazy girl, had tantrums, tried running away etc. turns out it was gluten causing all her mental health symptoms and one month off gluten she was a new girl. And in the process we found out that I have celiac disease while she had gluten sensitivity. A psychiatrist would have put her on drugs. I thank God every day for the coincidences that led to me being able to find out and get the testing done that led to a diagnoses that we could easily treat.
Wow amazing ❤
Just to know, I am a psychiatrist practicing for over 25 years & have ALWAYS asked my patients about what they eat. Although I do prescribe medications if they seem to be needed, even for a short time, I recommend that they follow a gluten free diet to see if their symptoms improve. There are actually some good practitioners out there but are not easy to find.

Full of flavourings, refined oils, flavoured fats , sugars, inverted syrups, emulsifiers and so on....desserts all in ready made mix bags and all they do is add water....sauces and gravy with flavourings, sugars....heartbreaking....and on their website they say they provide "briliant" and "excellent, quality food" ...so misleading and wrong...I think parents should be asked to give their consent for their kids to consume that poison....i cant believe that we allow this to happen to our kids
I congratulate you. If you are able to do healthy home baking with your child I think your difficult decision will be made easier. I wish you and your family well.

I've been researching health & food related articles for 7 years. This is one of the best comprehensive interviews.
Agreed. Extremely clear and helpful interview. Dr Ede's book is really well written, too. Highly recommended.
I am sooooo happy you have Georgia Ede on here! I have just started listening to her book. I have cured 17 years of bulima, and i was serious bulimia and ptsd I couldnt work, within 2 months due to removing upfs and adhering to a keto diet, I feel so amazing, and happy and calm, my body feels great. I feel so angry by the advice I was given by professionals which made the bulimia worse and my health worse. I almost lost my life due to it all. As I am a human biologist, I cant wait to help others break through from mental ill health through diet and following this protocol. Georgia Ede and Chris Palmer are world leaders in this field.
Incredible recovery story! Congratulations on turning your health around! We need you on the planet--we need biologists to help people understand the truth about nutrition science:)
I am happy for you but I am a professional and have been advising this type of diet to all my patients for years. I am glad you came across something revolutionary for you, but she is not talking about anything not already spoked about, and researched. when you say professionals, I am not sure which one you referring to, but as a medical professional we are not taught about diet. The food industry don't allow us to spread scientific facts. who feed us the idea that cereals covered in sugar in a bowl of milk is a good diet? try to tell people that is not and you see how resist they are. In Italy we were feed the idea that a slice of bread covered in Nutella and a glass of milk are the perfectly balanced breakfast. who you think did that? hint: Ferrero family (owners of Nutella). I can keep going for long.
I know what I know because my dad is a diabetic obsessed with health and nutrition publications, so he inform me on any new finding. at the end after years of reading and learning, I came to the conclusion that anything processed or even treated by humans is not good.
I am happy you were honest with yourself and was truly searching for an answer, but many are not. Even I sometimes refrain from given honest advices upon assessment of the individual in front of me. Many, lie lie lie, refuse to admit what they eat, refuse to accept they have a bad diet, they want a magic pill.
Good luck!
What are we supposed to eat so must leave out carbs i think we must see what animals eat cause they never lost their inborn instinct we see a lot of grass and fruits God put on earth thats what we supposed to eat i think dont know
I had lost faith in ever feeling ok. Thanks to her I have hope. Thank you for your work Dr. Ede! I have your book!
don't loose faith you can do this!
Dr Ede is clear and articulate. I’ve never heard this topic explained so well
Its true people dont realize how much better one can feel. I been on a keto diet for a year now. Ill have a cheat meal from time to time but still very strict with what I eat. It got rid of my anxiety, depression, high blood pressure is gone. Mental clarity improved, my sleep improved, the list goes on. Its not easy at first start small & little by little you will develop a personal diet that works for you. Everyone body is different find what foods do you good & eliminate the ones that make you feel bad.
I’ve been sick for about 10+ years. Fibromyalgia, IBS, diverticulosis, PCOS, depression, anxiety, the list goes on… I was vegan/vegetarian for decades. Three days on a carnivore diet and many of my symptoms disappeared. Four months later and I’m feeling better than I’ve ever felt. I’m not 100% asymptomatic because I had a fibromyalgia flare up that lasted roughly 2 days after eating two Oreos. But when I am following the carnivore diet carefully, I feel amazing. It’s life-changing.
I'm going to start carnocore diet im gluten friendly but no difference .
Fybro lupus
thats awesome 😊
Good job!
Glad it worked for you😊
Amazing, carnivore made such a difference for me, not with chronic conditions but just changing the leghargy, fatigue, sluggish mornings.
I need to return to it as I fell of the wagon lol.
I am a woman, who is a senior citizen. I have given up sugar, all carbs, soda, coffee. I started this journey on January '24.
So since then I have lost 40 lbs. My black heads on my body are disappearing. How gross of me to tell you that, but I am here to tell you that I feel so much better. I have to remind myself to eat. I used to struggle to get up in the morning. Now I am wide awake at 5-6 am. I can smell sugar on other people.
There are a few drawbacks. My sweat stinks, It smells bad! But my breath is great! A Lot of toxic pimples have erupted on my face. I am 69 years old forever, I haven't had a serious pimple in decades.
The couple of times I have eaten sugary food I felt the difference almost immediately. Regards, Antionette
I switched to most veggies and meat (white meat and fish mostly, sometimes minced lamb) and very limited carbs(no rise , no pasta, no fast foods).
First thing I noticed is no longer having morning breath. I didn't noticed any change in my sweating though. Also I can eat pretty much whenever I want day or night without gaining body weight.
Hi Antoinette, I’ve gone all the way to be a Carnivore, and through researching this there is a transitional period where there is Oxilate dumping. This is when people feel bad, have rashes and diarrhoea etc that your body is trying too get rid of toxins we have accumulated over the years! This will pass - it might take a couple of months but you will get there! Keep Strong!

I've been eating healthy for a very long time. I've had friends comment on how much I spend on food, or tell me I should live a little, or argue with me about sugars and fats. They've all gotten very fat, wrinkly, grey with many developing heart disease or diabetes and taking expensive meds.
yup I am almost 60 still workout, run eat Whole Foods, healthy foods and don't look or act my age. People like to say "you must have really good genetics" !!! maybe for my cheekbones but my body and healthy are earned.
@@robinharris4247 I'm 63 and people tell me the same thing. Nope. My father and grandfathers all died in the 50's and early 60's. It's not good genes, it's healthy eating. By the way, they didn't say the same things 5 years ago when I was 50 lbs. heavier and constantly complaining about aches and pains.
True, you can spend more on real food or spend a lot more on doctor bills. Not to mention pharma might keep you alive longer but it won't make you healthy. It's amazing (and sad) that people don't realize that what you put in the body affects the health of the body.
Same… It has been implied like I have cheated in someway to get to my healthy stats, appearance, still equipped w/playfulness and positive outlook etc.
I work at it, spend time learning about it, I get up and exercise when that’s the last thing I feel like doing at times~
I sacrifice for it….
I am the lone wolf in my immediate family not on meds. I am the lone one not on insulin, the solo one

It is a conscious decision to not risk loosing a leg like my mother from diabetes 2, or my Sister who is near blind (T2DM retinopathy), or no longer here… like my beloved Brother. I made a deliberate and conscious decision, no cheating, no lucky genes. I just chose to walk a different path than my family. I decided to eat completely different and walk the healthy road.
this body needs discipline unfortunately many don't have it or want to put in the work
The typical diet in many Latin American countries includes red kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, and rice! My grandparents lived until they were 97-99 years old, were not on a bunch of medicines, and had their brains working fine. It's complex this subject with food. I love grains; I grew up eating grains, and legumes as a source of protein, as we did not eat that much meat or red meat. I have been very healthy until now when I am 49 years old.
Yes avoiding the junk food is the most important thing. If you feel completely mentally and physically healthy, take no medications, and have normal glucose, insulin, triglyceride, and nutrient levels (especially ferritin and B12 levels) and normal blood pressure, no aches/pains, good mood and concentration and energy, you may not feel it's worth it to make any additional changes.
One size does not fit all! Beans are poison for me being an O blood type. I need meat and fat and very few vegetables and make myself Moringa tablets and take a lot of them. This has cured my gut problem when I stay on it...which is very challenging !!!
@@colleennewell3264 My point exactly. So, the narrative that legumes are bad for you is a generalization, and it should not be done. As I stated in my comment, some cultures consume a lot of legumes, and it's okay for that population. Beans are bad for you; I do not have an issue with beans.
It’s really depends on your body. I love my beans and ate it for many years but it was only when I stop eating my blood pressure and triglycerides level normalized. It maybe fine for certain people but they can be harmful for others.
Meat is apparently not an issue either. My grandparents loved their pork and beef and ate tons of them. My grandpa died at 98 because of an accident and grand ma died 101 because she missed grandpa.

1:26:38 Okay, so I have now watched the whole video, and this is what I'm taking away. She's specifically talking to me and people like me. I've taken several different medications for depression over the years, and I'm now having metabolic issues. So, for me, this isn't about longevity. It's about feeling better. If you feel good eating legumes and grains, you are absolutely right to stay on that path. If, however, you feel sick on a whole foods plant based diet, it may be time to consider losing the beans and grains.
EDIT: I tried to find balance for six plus years on a WFPBD. I'm happy it works for some of you, but it doesn't work for everyone.
Hi, could you share some of your metabolic issues from taking anti- depressants? Glucose complications, perhaps? Thanks from France.
All of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Extreme thirst, dry mouth, frequent urination, fatigue, sleeping after meals, nerve tingling. Classic diabetes symptoms, but an A1C of 5.6 which is still normal.
@@8yearsago153 Exactly. A1C is one of the last dominoes to fall on the road to type 2 diabetes. It can remain normal for many years while other markers of metabolic health deteriorate. Much earlier warning signs of declining metabolic health include fasting insulin levels (ideal = below 10), fasting triglycerides (ideal = below 100 mg/dl), and waist-to-height circumference (waist should be less than half your height).
OR could it be time to consider balancing the whole foods plant based diet. Still include beans and grains. Improve on daily exercise, water intake and work with the seasons. I have started to be aware of changes to my diet and energy as the seasons change. Recently I have discovered sound healing helps manage my depression When I have a sound bath my nervous system is relaxed on a cellular level. I also work on improving my sleep by using a camomile and lavender pillow mist PLUS a valerian, hops and camomile tea at bedtime.
I take an anti-depressant and the lowest prescribed dosage of a drug for "mood swings". I eat a low sugar, Mediterranean diet, very little rice, pasta, bread, no juices or soda, and no alcohol but plenty of water. I power-walk daily and I sleep a good 8 hours at night. My blood work is normal for a 70 yr. old woman, however my fructosamine (glycated protein?) levels are high. I was told to not indulge in sweet desserts, which I never do nor have done in over 40 years. I don't quite know what's going on...
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
Can dr.porassss send to me in UK?
Micro dosing is the only thing for my nerve pain. No one knows how it works. I only take 30mg (was 60mg at height of pain) and I couldn’t manage living without it.
Good friends and having work you’re passionate about would do the same without any dumb medication.
I am 67 and have not had a sniffle in over 24 years. I follow the Weston A Price Foundation Guidelines. I am stronger, healthier, and have more stamina now then I did when I was 25. Asthma gone, and never get a virus.
@@danrayson- interesting! Forgiveness is so important! I know people who have miraculously healed things without ever changing their diet just by using forgiveness!
What is the name of her book, May I ask?
Where do you live? If you don't live around others and keep a very quiet social life that would play into the lack of contracted viruses. Much more to everyone's story than diet alone, though obviously that plays a huge role as well. Just not enough info here to draw any truthful conclusions.
Thank you so much for the great recommendation!

Hi please can we have a pod cast that's 10 mins long just about what we should eat.
Yes please, 10 minutes would be just about right instead of all the waffle
If you don’t understand why you are eating certain foods you are likely to forget
You're an *adult. You shouldn't have to ask that question .
@@yeldarleumas1847I think he’s trying to illustrate an important point: that food science shouldn’t be like a stock market with buyers and sellers. We are woefully short on consensus.
In the book I recommend starting with a moderate-carbohydrate paleo diet then if that doesn't help enough, advancing to a ketogenic paleo diet, and if that doesn't help enough, considering a ketogenic carnivore diet. Lots more information about how to do this safely and how to personalize each plan for individuals, but that's the basic outline.
Great interview, Georgia Ede and Chris Palmer are both doing such good work in this area. Thank you!
Everyone makes it so difficult. We need to just look at time before modern agriculture and before industry. What food was available 200 years ago.
or wasn't!
I totally agree, but now they’re poisoning fresh fruits and vegetables at the stores. So scary 😢
It's true that what we ate 200 yrs ago was much healthier than what we eat today, but 'd prefer to go back to about 10,000 years to what we ate for nearly 2 million years of our evolutionary history.
@@cgc1581 poisoning fruits and veg tables? What about 70 to 80% of the antibiotics produced in the world is given to farm animals to treat and prevent diseases + help with growth? This is serious and cause super bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Humanity will pay a very high price for all the evil we do to the animals, and we deserve all of it
We need to go back at least 1bln year ...
As a diabetic, two months ago my blood sugars were high, because of my poor diet. I have gone almost no carb now - as in processed carbs, ie bread, pasta, rice, cereals, etc - occasionally I will have a little sourdough bread, but any carbs sky rocket my blood sugar, so what’s the alternative? Don’t eat them. Sure, it takes some doing initially, but I have halved my blood sugars by cutting out most processed foods & eating mostly meat and vegetables, plain yogurt, a little milk & some cheese, the occasional apple & a date or two every now and then. I know that if I want the rest of my life to be as healthy as can be, I cannot go back to my old habits. It’s a challenge I am up for and I am not giving up - these are just the sort videos that give me the motivation I need to continue👍🏻
So what do you replace them please.
@@lovelyjubbly4151 You don’t replace them, you learn not to eat them and eat more healthier unprocessed meat and vegetables & some fruits, cheese & plain full fat yoghurt - that’s what I’ve done anyway and it’s working for me. We are all different, you have to find out what is best for you.
Thank you so much 💓
contrary to popular belief carbohydrates are not exactly the problem, your body is no longer able to process simple carbs it was never meant to replace them with complex carbs e.g millet, sprouted brown rice, wholegrain pasta, legumes etc over time your body will adjust and process those better the secret is the fibre simple carbs don't have that
@princemohlala4751 They are the problem. Every carbohydrate causes issues. There is zero requirement in the human diet for exogenous carbohydrate.
I have a zero tolerance rule about any product with seed oils and natural flavors. No matter how much I feel like it, if I see them on the ingredients list I put it back on the shelf. Imagine how screwed we'd be if an ingredients list wasn't mandatory!!
Hear hear.
Seed oils *aren't* food. Avoid!
I've been doing that for decades. It sucks, my kid hated it, people laughed at me and I'd say, eat it if you must but don't call it food.
I went to a nutritionist about four years ago. Nothing had ever worked to help me lose weight and I was always depressed. I started having fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, and bread at every meal. Within just a few days, I felt less depressed. I noticed a difference in my brain performance and just how I felt overall was better.
I'm still making sure to get each of those at every meal. I've not lost weight, but I don't want to go back to having my body and brain feel depressed from food. This past year, I've successfully cut down dramatically on sugar. One change that has helped me lose 10 pounds and not continue gaining weight is that I switched to drinking a soda that is sugar-free and calorie-free (and doesn't have aspartame) - Zevia.
cut out 'soda' full stop - its rubbish with no nutritional value. buy a juicer and drink frsh vege juice daily
You need to keep an eye on added sweetener. Many studies show they destroy your gut microbes and this in itself can cause health problems. Also, not adding sugar still leads you to be consuming citric acid, which is bad for your tooth enamel and eats away at it, so be careful. No sugar can be harmful if what they then ADD causes health problems, itself.
My friend used to be proud to show me her packets of 'sugar-free' biscuits, but when they take out sugar, they often add back in extra fat, because sugar & fat are partly what makes food taste good. Vice versa, if a product is 'fat-free' they often add extra sugar to compensate & make it taste better. Better to eat more natural fruit whole, that way you eat the fibre with it also, and get the added nutritional benefit of all the vitamins & anti-oxidants contained in it. Even fruit juices are problematic, because it's very concentrated ie you need a lot of, say, oranges to make a tall glass of it, whereas if you ate the whole fruit you'd probably only eat one/two pieces of fruit AND get the added benefit of the fibre.
The chemicals in sodas can also cause health & behavioural problems in children, so I'm sure that is true also for adults. There are loads of really healthy, interesting herbal teas out there now, so you could experiment with those, instead. If you're craving something other than water, ŕtry making your own with just some lemon juice, water and sugar, that way you can control how much sugar you're consuming. It is very refreshing to drink on a hot summers day. I wouldn't drink it all the time, but it has really helped me when I became quite dehydrated at one point in the summer after a bad cold.
I know suddenly going 'cold turkey' can seem daunting, but your taste buds (over time) will become less tolerant of very sweet things when you cut out all that junk food from your diet, bit you will be healthier & more richer!) for cutting it out. If you save the money ypu⁹ eiukd give didn't kn diet soda & other such drinks in a month & boy & instead, buy yourself a treat at the end of the month. I hope you found some of this helped.
I used to be a vegetarian who loved my beans, rice, and sweet potato’s but suffered from high blood pressure, high triglycerides, brain fog, and pre-diabetic all my life. Becoming vegetarian and working out in my 30s helped me improve my health because I gave up eating processed food but in my 40s I hit a plateau. It was only I cut off carbs like beans and started doing keto I began to see my lab test dramatically improve in just a year. Now I’m mostly carnivore (sometimes I fall off the wagon and eat a sweet potato) and feeling great with a ton of energy. All my lab and blood tests are normal. So thankful .
To be fair My wife is still a vegetarian and has been for years and she is doing fine. We just have all different bodies that respond to different things.
Respectfully, have you considered that animals are enslaved, tortured and murdered to satisfy your change in palate desires? And have you considered that you are greatly increasing your risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer and a host of other diseases? if you weren't well on a vegetarian diet, you were doing something wrong, and it wasn't a lack of meat. Humans are not designed to eat meat. Not criticizing you - I'm a 50-year vegan among many carnivore friends - but you're on the wrong path. And I am biased: I don't think that people are more important to animals. They have as much right to be here and live as we do.
@@markj7612 I get regular lab checks since I went all meat 15 years ago and my heart and cardiovascular health are all normal. All of the research papers that I have studied that claim that meat cause disease are flawed using low quality data gathering methods like questionnaires and poor methodology conflating meat eating with poor diet and lifestyle choices.
As for the ethics of plant food, the cultivation of plant based staples crops such as almonds, avocados, cocoa, cashews, and palm oil has significant environmental and social impacts. These crops often require intensive resource use, including water for almonds and land for palm oil, which can lead to habitat destruction. The practices of a typical farm in poor countries there most of these crops come from can sometimes involve unethical labor conditions, including underpaid or forced labor. The impact on wildlife is also a concern, with many species harmed by habitat loss or killed as pests. Is it really less harm? How do you properly quantify that? How do you objectively measure less harm? It seems all speculation to me.
That isn't respectful @@markj7612. Condemning people to ill health and suffering because of ideals is a common trait today.
A vegan diet necessitates supplementation, and cannot therefore be considered innately healthy.
The reason the original Mediterranean diet was healthy is because of its high fat content, especially nuts and olives. That's because our body's fat is 57% monounsaturated, but also 40% saturated. Cutting out animal fats has contributed to many people becoming ill because removing the fat from protein raises the demand for insulin.
God bless you.
@@Starbreaker2012 Respectfully, your comment is a pack of lies. "A vegan diet necessitates supplementation". That's a lie. How do you know that? Have you ever been vegan? I have, for 55 years, and I made my living in the construction, doing arduous labor day after day that you probably can't do. I've never taken a supplement, and I've never been sick. You should speak from experience before promulgating false postulates.
Humans are so idiotic. No common sense. Our close cousins, the great apes, pound for pound one of the strongest animals on the planet, are not only vegan, but they eat only raw foods, with exception of one sub-species that eats a small amount of insects. They don't take supplements. Are there unhealthy vegans? Of course there are, but that's not because they're vegan. It's because they eat foods that they shouldn't eat, just like carnivores do. Are there unhealthy carnivores???!!!!. There are billions of them The number one cause of unnatural death in the world is cardiovascular disease. That's because people are carnivores.
I will not read your reply to this. I'm only interested in dialogue with well-informed people, and you are not well-informed. Opinions not based on fact are worthless and destructive. Humans are designed for a plant-based diet, not a carnivore diet. But here is the main thing: You obviously, selfishly, cruelly and ignorantly, do not care about the enslavement, torture and murder of animals. You think that you are more important than they are. You're not. I stand with them, not with with. Unless you evolve, they're better than you are.
@markj7612 Have you considered all the wild animals that are ran over, slashed to bits, tilling and harvesting those veggies? The pesticides sprayed killing beneficial insects, killing birds? The water poisoned in the process? And the you eat it. So don't bash carnivores. Actually the animals are treated better and humanely than those killed by vegans.
I'm so tired, trying to follow a healthy eating regime when you have a food addiction is like asking an alcoholic to only have one drink a day. I'd like to give up the whole ritual of buying, cooking and eating food. Is there a drink that provides everything I need so I can just down it, and focus on life?
Your comment resonated with me. Three months ago I was wandering around the supermarket & concluded, I am not enjoying this, I don't know what to buy, I don't want to prepare it... and many, many other indications. I was feeling very low. Then one day, a video came up on my feed as if it was speaking to me!!
I became a 'steak a day'. Delicious and easy to cook.
It has been miraculous; plus no sugar or carbs. I feel lighter, brighter and happier.
I know, ultraprocessed food addiction is really tough, and you're not alone! I have dealt with this personally, in my family, and in my practice. I've had patients who have successfully beaten alcohol and even serious drug addictions who feel powerless over food. However it can really help to identify and remove the foods you find addictive and focus on the ones that make you feel good, satisfied and in control. You might find the wonderful work of UK-based food addiction psychologist Dr. Jen Unwin useful. She wrote a very helpful book called A Fork in the Road which is all about strategies that have worked for people with food addiction (including herself).
Switching my shopping to the local Chinese supermarket in my area has made a marked improvement in my digestive issues and overall health quality. It's so easy to just pick up some produce and fresh fish or meat off cuts for nothing and make meals from scratch; and I've essentially stopped eating all processed foods as a result of switching over to a basic whole food diet. Nothing extreme, just basic, natural foods. That change alone made an instant difference in everything for me--including drastically reducing cravings for sugar and processed foods and replacing them with satiety.
Just eat meat.
Same.
I'm already leaning towards this because of histamine intolerance & find that when I eat high protein & low carbs, my mood, energy levels & clarity improve. As well as less joint pain. This couldn't be a more timely video for me, will give this a proper go!
Great that you have found a way of eating that helps you feel better! I include information about histamine intolerance in the book (I have had this issue myself so I know how challenging it can be to eat a low-histamine diet).
@GeorgiaEdeMD thanks so much! I've ordered a copy - the fact that high histamine levels affect mood is definitely my experience.
I was litterly diagnosed with dementia at 24 after losing part my brain from an eating disorder , after About 3 years denial after coming come , I started only eating powr foods by the time 5 years past my next doctor couldn't believe my diagnosis, he litterly had to look in my medical file to believe it he told me whatever you are doing, don't stop , its been ten years now and I feel my brain health changed even my depression now too somewhat , than I went off the diet a few months and I'm back to struggling in my health , I'm just starting back on brain power foods
Okay I have the time line off slightly by memory given I'm 42 now but I'm lucky to be alive and feel better everyday
Wonderful you found a brain-healthier way to eat! Curious--what changes did you make that helped you feel better? Which brain power foods do you eat?
@@GeorgiaEdeMDI eat , oatmeal, asparagus , oranges , blueberries, salmon although I'm not fond of it I eat spinach and bone broth soups I eat a vast amount of healthy foods now actually ❤
So interesting…. Bought a second hand book many years ago….. called. “Not all in the mind”. When one of my daughters was troubled with anxiety and depression. Straight away I put her on a wheat free and E number free diet. The result was amazing. After only 3weeks there was a distinct change. Then she went on to be tested for food intolerance after suffering with extreme urticaria. My belief is that the body gets inflamed from intolerance or food sensitivity. This can then affect brain chemicals/functions. She is a different woman to way back when 😀😀. Watch the diet. I am now on a gluten and non dairy diet because of some health issues. 🌈💜
Great example of doing your own food experiments to find changes that can help you feel better:)
Gluten and dairy frutose is my culprits each one is different

Great discussion. Not everything works for everybody. You maybe vegan or carnivore
and that works for YOU, may not work for someone else. Some can do cocaine once or twice and
walk away and others it's the beginning of a lifetime addiction. We are all individuals, but this is a
great place to start and figure out what is best for you.
My partner has been vegan for 35 years, living on beans, fruit, veg and grains etc. He is the fittest person i know, can cycle for four hours on variable terrain, and runs. I think what matters is a varied , wholefood diet, offering the broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, good bacteria etc.
Some people are more sensitive to vegetables than others. Those that have gut inflammation issues tend to get better by sharply limiting the veggies they consume
Not often do I appreciate a plug for some product or practice, Dr Chatterjee, but your brief pitch about journaling was just what I needed to hear today. Thank you! 🙏
Food is very important, so start a guard.Don't go to the grocery store and buy food that is in surrender up and plastic wrapped up with whole bunch of plastic plastic plastic plastic plastic. When I was growing up, my dad would say go out in the garden and get her much.There was no plastic on the tomatoes.There was no plastic on the green.Onions are on the lettuce. And yet we go into the grocery store and we walk around.We buy all the food that we're supposed to eat.Even organic and what's on it plastic.. Get rid of the plastic
Another brilliant Georgia Ede interview! Always excited to find a new one.
EXCELLENT interview and information.....My friend has just started the program & I will too in a few days. We both ordered the book. Can't wait to be who I was meant to be....Thank you both......

Excellent information.
She presents a logical point of view I have not considered.
Love to both of you for doing this, to truly inform people.
Following the advice of Dr. Georgia Ede and Dr. Jason Fung as well, I have been on a path of eating an animal-based diet: all the meats, especially fatty cuts, with some dairy, avocados, and olives. I was on Prozac for about 10 years, added Lamotrigine as it wasn't working as well as I was hoping. And, I often still needed Xanax for panic attacks. After six months of changing my diet, and some intermittent fasting, I no longer take psychiatric medications. None. I am not going back...
I loved beans and grains but my mood, weight, energy have been so much better without them.
It really is fascinating. Just yesterday, I ate canelli beans, and noticed how happy my body felt. I still go in and out of ketosis from time to time but frankly I lose weight and feel a million times better with meat as a condiment. People are different. That has been my conclusion, after trying all the ways.
Great conversation! Tough sell on grains & legumes, but I see her point. I live in India & I feel sorry for people who have to eat some variation of the SAD for whatever reason. There really is no one size fits all solution… an individualized approach is best, as you point out. Thank you🙏🏽
What a superb interview. Thank you Rangan & Georgia!!
I was in the check out line at a warehouse type store and was chatting with the lady next to me who had boxes of frozen corn dogs, Hot Pockets, soda, candy etc. She said she's not shopping for a restaurant or party, but this is what she feeds her family including 3 children every day because it's 'what they want' and easy to prepare in a microwave. She thought she was clever with her food choices for flavor and simple preparation. I wonder for those that think a meal means they just feel full after eating especially in children what will be their outcome later in life.
Any discussion/analysis of whole foods should include information on the degradation of these foods thru industrial farming practices. This applies to grains, legumes, meats, fish , fruit and vegetables. All of these foods are not nearly as whole (nutrient dense) as they were 60 to 80 years ago. So, are grains problematic, or are grains lacking a range of micronutrients the problem behind mental and physical health related to nutrition. Etc, etc
Exactly
It's true that pollution and industrial food production practices have reduced the nutritional quality and the safety of most of our plant and animal foods. That being said, there is anthropological evidence that grains have always been problematic for humans, which I explain more about in the book.
@@44point5 mostly probably it is the processed foods ppl eat now, not the quality of the foods . They don’t even think about it or realize it’s processed. Not many consume whole grains or legumes in the correct quantities.Vegetables and fruits are scant as well. The body needs those for vitamins and minerals….
@@wgg6188 I think the evidence that ultra processed 'food' is poison is irrefutable. Not all processed food is bad and some, especially a range of fermented foods, are good in my experience and according to numerous studies. But folks need to be aware that nutrient deficiency of non processed food matters. When I was in school many decades ago, the science of the day identified a handful of essential macro nutrients and a few essential micronutrients. I remember about 17 in total in the 1960's (working from memory). Today we know there are at least 42. It is obvious that greed driven corporations deliberately design junk food to make it addictive. What is less obvious is how this addiction is sustained through cravings for needed nutrients. Over the decades agricultural practices have stripped grains, fruit and vegetables, and meat and dairy of many of the nutrients, especially micronutrients. If you want to learn how this occurs, I suggest you listen to a series of talks by Christine Jones, a renowned Australian soils ecologist. I assure you she is on top of the science, which itself has greatly advanced in recent years thanks to DNA sequencing, huge advances in microscopy, and numerous field experiments. Dr. Jones is an excellent communicator as well as an advisor to innovative farmers on 5 continents. Look up her webinars at Green Cover Seeds: Secrets of the Soil Socio-biome, Nitrogen - A Double Edged Sword, The Phosphorus Paradox.
@@GeorgiaEdeMD Always is a long time. Advances in techniques employed in archaeology indicate that at least some humans have been grinding and presumably consuming grain for 30 thousand years. Even if we limit 'always' to the Neolithic forward in time, there is no way to do other than speculate that grain consumption, in itself, was the cause of health problems or changes in physical stature, as have been observed. Much more likely, the introduction of social hierarchy, settlement, population increases, increased scarcity and local extinction of plants and animals consumed for millennia, and loss of knowledge related to finding and using these species provide a better explanation than eating grain. Now, I am an omnivore who eats modest amounts of red and white meats. So I don't have a 'vegan agenda', but I think you need to dial down your meat advocacy. The factory meat available to most people is on the whole processed corn, processed by distressed animals in concentration camps, kept alive by enormous quantities of antibiotics. The corn, soybeans, and even the hay they may get is nutrient poor and dependent on enormous applications of glyphosate among other poisons. To understand nutrient deficiency in farmed produce I suggest you find Christine Jones as mentioned elsewhere in this thread. I think (and hope) that you would also find value in the book 'Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us About Recovering Our Nutritional Wisdom' by Fred Provenza. Dr Provenza is a renowned animal behaviourist with decades of research experience. I believe you make some good points in the two interviews I have listened to. But I will await the revised edition of your book.
Thank you for sharing, when I moved to London UK in 1984! The first thing choked me is the food and especially the country’s diet. I came from a Mediterranean (relatively poor country). The awareness of food is changed immensely but I feel there is a long way to go!
Eat olives not olive oil. Eat Sunflower seeds not it's oil.
The Blue Zone diet studies seem to indicate that legumes are a very beneficial source of non animal fiber and protein. I appreciate that not everyone tolerates legumes but I've found that I feel vibrant and energized at 66 with a mostly pescatarian/plant based diet. My glucose, triglycerides and lipids all dropped dramatically on this regimen. I exercise daily, my memory is still excellent, and I sleep well. I think it's important to recognize how different we all are. I do follow Dr. Chris Palmer's work on ketogenic diets for certain psychological disorders. Individualized medicine is where we need to go.
Unfortunately the Blue Zone studies are not scientific studies. They are untested theories generated without any real concrete dietary data (see above).
Blue Zone info is false. See Mary Ruddick’s info, she went to all of them and found them all to be largely meat based!
The blue zone diets are a big lie too. People in the blue zones eat meat and fat .
The majority of fish is full of poison these days. The oceans are polluted. A whole food plant based diet is all you need to be your healthy, energetic self. I'm 70 and doing fine. I also believe that food is grown, not born.
You could be great on this diet, but incredible on the keto. I was vegan for 11 years and eating soy, grains and all kinds of lectins. Thought my memory was great, but once I went keto, my thought process and memory improved 10fold.
I'm very grateful for this presentation, Georgia. Excellent! 🙏❤
I eat , almost, very well. T2 diabetic for over 40 years. Lost a ton of weight, exercise a lot and endlessly learning about nutrition and good life styles. Great lab work and almost 84. Just a recent thought to share….eat as your grandparents generation did. Mine were Italian and Irish. The Italians lived into their 90s . Some of the Irish did too. Self care rules every day except those visits to doctors. Only WE can improve our lives. Oh…include nurses and nutritionists in your medical visits.
If the heading shows "most harmful foods", I just want a list. I haven't got the time.
This discussion was fascinating! Thank you!
I grew up as a fat kid and remembering that that was bad of course eating tons of carbs. Now it’s the opposite good fats are good carbs are bad. My life has changed.
Good for you
Enough is enough ! Everyone knows what they need to do. One says don’t eat this it’s bad for you , the other says eat this, it’s good for you! The barrage of information is overwhelming!
I say listen to EVERYONE and pull out the information that you notice all of them are basically agreeing on. The problem is that metabolic health is a (surprisingly) "new" science.... even though we THINK it's been studied for decades. No. It's been co-opted by the food industry for decades, and only now are professionals starting to break out and dig into the truth of things.
I've been listening to a plethora of sources for a few years now and have been able to pull out a lot of "truths" from across the board, but there is still a lot of work to be done to truly understand it all (I'm talking for the scientists.) The human body is a miraculous and complex system. Everything relates to everything in the body, so finding the best homeostatic diet is not only equally complex, but differs in variation for everyone.
You gotta look at things at a macro level, and pick the important pieces and focus more in-depth research on those things. It's daunting, for sure. You also need to find what provides YOU results, and then study the f*** out of THOSE things.
No, most people don't know what to do. We've been brainwashed into eating what's not good for us and discarding what is truly good for us. None of the research that has been carried out in the last five or six decades is not tainted with money from the pharmaceutical and food industries and, I've come to learn recently, a particular religious ideology.
We need to go back to see what the human species was eating right at the beginning. Tigers are still eating what they've always eaten, as are elephants. It's only humans who are eating nothing like they did at the beginning. We need to go back to eating like the hunter-gatherers we started as. Because our physiology has not changed much, so why has our diet completely changed?
It's easy to figure out what you need.And that is the proper human diet.The proper human diet is meat-based diet.Animal protein and animal fat.No crumb hydrates no seed oils no sugars and grains😊
@@Arcadia61100 % correct. proper human diet 👌 😳CARNIVORE
If you have gut problems removing all plant matters the way to go. I suffered 35 years of chronic bowel disease...cured in 3 days on a pure carnivore diet.
Wow!
Congratulations! Yes, one of the most predictable improvements I see in people who remove plants from their diet is resolution of digestive problems:)
@@GeorgiaEdeMD hello doctor, it also resolved my mental health issues as well. Thank you so much for your time and efforts.❤️💪🔥
@@timnestor3005 That's wonderful to hear!
may vary with people but it was stopping grains that rid me of excess gas in a day, still eating low carb fruit and veg, keto will make stubborn fat disappear but you have to eat a lot of fat (olive oil, coconut oil, double cream if you don't do fatty meats) or your muscles will be affected. Nearly one month on keto, fat gone, hand cramps gone and long distance vision improved (both fairly recent problems) so will do another month to see if my stiff knees and reading glasses can be chucked (decade old problems).
This is very good knowledge to have for yourself and your decision making. I agree with most of it! I have to chime in on a couple of topics that are just as important as these 5 foods that should be considered eliminating from your diet. 1) when eating meat it is very important to know what type of food that animal was fed, just because you purchase the darker meat like the thigh with bone if that animal is being fed the wrong foods you are getting just as much as those toxins when you eat that meat, same goes for eggs, if you eat eggs from a caged chicken that is fed toxic food the eggs are not healthy, but eating eggs from pasture raised chickens much better. 95% to 98% of all soybeans are now genetically modified so eating tofu might give the vegan diet a boost of protein but the herbicides/pesticides that can be in that soy can be just as toxic and inflammatory. Very interesting about the legumes theory and good to know about that toxin considerations, lentils and beans were my two favorites. As far as grains, on occasion steel cut oats were a rare food for me and an occasional cup of rice is all I ever had. I whole heartedly agree about the first 3 with 100% certainty, I agree with the last 2 also but not at 100%. I will still enjoy a glass of pinot noir on rare occasions but I will not lie to myself that it's good for me. lol
I completely agree that it's important to find the healthiest plant and animal foods we can find and afford--unfortunately so much of our food is grown or raised the wrong way, which compromises the health of soil, animals, and humans alike. I do my best to address this in the book as well, especially in the chapter about meat.
I really enjoyed listening this podcast. Thank you!!!
I used to be allergic to the sun, trees, all plants, nuts, and fruit until 2010. And yes... if I stayed indoors with the blinds down, I had no problems with the sun (you could say that the sun was clearly at fault). If I didn’t eat nuts, I had no issues and could claim that nuts were the problem. If I didn’t eat fruit, I had no issues either, so I could have claimed that fruit was the problem. And if I didn’t go to the forest and stayed in the city, I felt better too: so the forest was the reason for my illness. Do you understand? No, my metabolic condition was challenged by exercising 18 hours a week and eating the SAD diet.
Now I eat everything: nuts, fruit, no more hay fever, and I can be in the sun, so it wasn’t those things making me sick but my unhealthy gut and overall immune system. I am now 51, fit, my gut is healthy, no more brain fog, no more irritable bowel syndrome, no more allergies... But if you want to scare people away from grains and legumes, while others on the internet are telling people how dangerous meat, dairy, eggs, and fish are, it will result in more eating disorders than ever before. In the long term, doctors will be staing very busy.
How did you heal
Hi how did you heal?
Here are the key points using Google Gemini:
People have been mislead about what constitutes a brain-healthy diet for many generations.
The standard American diet (SAD) is high in refined carbohydrates, sugar, vegetable oils, and grains, and these are harmful to the brain.
People with mental health problems can benefit from changing their diet.
Some of the most harmful foods include refined carbohydrates, sugary drinks, processed vegetable oils, and grains.
Legumes and some whole grains are also on the list of foods to avoid according to the speaker, but this is a more controversial take.
Alcohol is another substance that can be damaging to the brain.
It is important to experiment and find a diet that works for you, but some people may need to completely avoid certain foods.
Her diet cannot be sustained. Animal protein is the worst! Dairy makes a 100 lb calf become an 800 lb cow in less than a year. What do you suppose it does to humans who eat cheese, butter and drink milk?
We need to get calories from somewhere. Beans and legumes are filling and contain great vitamins and minerals.
Take away dairy and alcohol.
@@wgg6188meat is the best source of many of the vitamins and minerals we need and a good source for most others. Pork is the number 1 source for B1 in a practical serving. Taurine is one of the most important amino acids and is found in shrimp, salmon and beef. Legumes don't stack up at all with meat in terms of protein and vitamins and minerals.
@@wgg6188- red fatty meat. That’s where we get calories and nutrients. Animal fats are critical for hormonal, brain, skin, and cellular health.
Brilliant information!
Thanks so much ~🌟
I find it fascinating that doctors say they feel learning about food and nutrition in relation to health was beneath them. How does a human grow from the start without food? Food is miraculous because we become what we are from what we have eaten! We have seen the devastation of starvation and what happens with absence of vitamins and whole foods does ie scurvy from vitamin c deficiency. I also find it interesting how doctors will tell patients to not eat certain foods because they will interfere with a medication, if they didn’t believe in the power of food, why would they believe in the power of it to interfere with medication?
I am ashamed of my previous ignorance and arrogance around this topic, to be sure! I write about this in the book...I wish I had known better.
@@GeorgiaEdeMD thank you for your openness and speaking and sharing your new knowledge on the topic; we can only do as good as what we know. I look forward to exploring your book :)
Georgia is absolutely brilliant and solid gold to listen to. A really logical mind. Thank you both.
So nice, thank you!🌻
If you say cut out refined foods, you must say cut out alcohol, not “limit alcohol.” It is a double standard.
Some wine can be beneficial (as well as grape tea / juice) I was surprised to learn that it is good for rheumatoid arthritis or any type of arthritis (Chinese medicine says it)

Excellent information.. really appreciate ..
as a type 1 diabetic for 18 years i can confirm brain get's really sluggish and slow when i have high blood sugar
Dr Ranjan,please please have a podcast about recurring UTI,which is commonly caused by EC .Urologists and GPs in the UK prescribe only antibiotics, which has led to antibiotic resistance and they also kill the good gut bacteria, leading to a compromised immune system,low white blood cells , cancer and low quality of life and functioning. The percentage of females with chronic untreatable UTI is raising in the UK.I am sure that there are practitioners which can educate us by adopting a holistic(not symptomatic) approach to treatment. Scientific evidence suggests that there are specific bacteria in the gut which can mitigate the UTI,but there is no medication/supplement which consists of these bacteria. I would appreciate your view on this significant and very common health condition among females.Thanks
Thank you, Dr. Ede! So important!
Stop listening after “avoiding beans”.
You are being close minded
Me too. That really surprised me
Wonderful life changing education! Go girl ❤
Another great video, thanks so much.
Everyone is a little different insofar as diet is concerned. Some are wreaked by Fiber, beans, leafy greens etc. if they don’t bother you great. With autoimmune disease, and bad guts, I personally must be very careful with what I eat.
LEGUMES especially, have been shown to be VERY HELPFUL by people like Dr Michael Greger and others, as well as the testimonials from centenarians around the world!
Exactly. Legumes may just be the perfect human food! I would never trust a "doctor" who says otherwise.
Thank you sooo much Dr Chatterjee and your guest for this information 😊
As far as mental health I have always done better subtracting carbs (including the sugars and starches in fruits and veggies) and adding animal fats. Always.
animal fats will not make you healthy in the long run.
Common sense must prevail with diet. Junk food is out, processed foods too. We all know alcohol is bad for us in large amounts. A well balanced diet that our grandparents ate is the way to go.
The problem is that the same food our grandparents ate nowadays is far from the same quality. Even organic butter I am not sure what is made of. Plus the environment, water, lifestyle- so many new gadgets all that electra-magnetic field, noise pollution, air pollution, sitting lifestyle, lack of meaningful friends and long term relationships. These things are there without us noticing it, but they affect us on a daily basis.
Depends on what our grandparents ate...my nana weighed 400 pounds and had 2 strokes...
Hard to be healthy . They want all the remote workers back in the grey buildings . Travel time eats into exercise and family time. They pump sewage into the water and then put the water charges on so tax payer pays. They manufacture food like substance which they know are highly addictive and carcinogenic. The Lough of Neagh is full of blue green algie. The rivers are having toxic chemicals poured in. Guess what we have Cameras everywhere but none watching the toxic dumpers.
Hugh Fernly tried to interview a health minister at a conference held by the big sugar. Guess what the guy ran away from him.
So UK and Ireland two very sick nations. But bring every one back to the office and we can all carry on regardless.
My motto walk briskly 10 mins 3 x per day. Fast until lunchtime. Eat good quality meat and veg if u like veg. Fruit in season. Tell yourself your worth it.😊
If we are meant to eat a balanced diet, why do animals almost all only eat 1 or 2 things?
All this is interesting; a homeless person who’s been raised on highly processed food doesn’t have the place to cook.😢
Excellent interview lovely lady
Wow, I've never heard anyone with these ideas before. She's great, and makes a lot of sense 👏 👍
Very original, thank you ❤
Glad you found it worth your time!
The reason you never found someone with those ideas is because it's pseudoscience.
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION 😮......!!!!!!
Can they make things any more confusing. Some videos say to stay away from meat altogether. Others say protein is the most important and to supplement if you are eating vegan. Now this lady is saying to stay away from Legumes as well?! Like can they make all of this misinformation any more confusing? I want to do the right thing but it seems nearly impossible to figure out what that is...
Very good advice Georgia! Keeping glucose and insulin low is keen for brain health. It's pretty simple.
But how
@@maartje3262 stop eating carbs, and stop eating frequently, and fast frequently, and eat more proteins
@@biohack9540 fasting isnt an option and i also need carbs..my situation is very complex and others heal on medical medium
Curiosity mindset brought me here. Thank you Doctors.
A very interesting discussion. Thank you both🌸
One wonders if "training in psychiatry" with the "therapies" led by the DSM can be of any use to a "doctor" seeking healing through "food therapy," which I consider a "breakthrough science" that has not YET reached its highest development. I remember Dr. Dean Ornish from my heart health days, back in the 1990s. This is still evolving. Thank you both for your efforts.
Looking forward to reading your book
Thank you--I hope you find it worth reading (or listening to!)
Commodities would not save you, communities hopefully would.
I adore Dr Georgia Ede. And, I have hope for myself, and my children. Thank you for this interview Dr Chatterjee
Thanks Willy. Hope is on the menu:)
Dr Will Bulsiewicz who wrote Fiber Fueled, and Dr Erica and Justin Sonnenburg who wrote the Good Gut, say that legumes and whole grains are good for the microbiome. Their books are backed up by peer reviewed studies.
Don't eat any food that was not available 1000 yrs ago.
Nothing that was available 1000years ago is available today
Gee, listening to actual clinicians. Sadly, not a concern of management or administrators. I've been an inpatient RN for40 years. It's a constant struggle to provide good patient care.
Totally. I work in a hospital ward - management act like they are doing us a favour by supplying us with free white and brown bread, cheap jam, peanut butter with added sugar and salt and seed oil margarine to eat on our breaks. You think they would know better.
Love this talk! ❤️
Excellent interview 🙌SOOOO glad I ignored the comments about the legumes and it being another fad 🙄I’ve never heard Dr Georgia before and I listen to quite a few medical podcasts, let’s hope she’s doing the rounds! I am thrilled that she has study data for the non-believers that have to see a clinical trial before they’ll even entertain the idea that a simple change like cutting out UPFs could actually make them feel better, physically and mentally 🙄imagine that!
And I need to clip her segment on alcohol. I love wine but in recent years it is not loving me back and I’ve given up for a while. Heading into perimenopause any time now so it’s more important than ever to be a grown up about diet and lifestyle choices 😬
She mentions *"evolutionary biology"* and what evolves us if we don't add things to our diet because evolution is a term of increment.
It would be good to have chapters on large podcast like this. Good information
Whole foods, plant based, beans, grains and all. Ditched salt, sugar and oil. Get omegas from nuts and seeds and everything I need from plant foods. Feel amazing. Mood better. Sleep better. More energy and focus. Six months on and I have no plans to change. Feel ten years younger.
Good stuff 👍🏿, I stopped all my blood pressure medications and it's now three years just because I stopped eating high calorie sick and diabetic corn fed animals they sell as protein but in fact it's just some trash protein upon which viruses latch.
Temporary effect. Hunger will win.
@@vadimkravets9209 Actually I discovered that we don't need to eat every day like they tell us especially if you had a healthy childhood growth. Our bodies are designed for scarcity and not abundance.
Plants are nothing more than toxic weeds!
@@JerryMc47 Not really but what I know is that animals immune systems are limited to their diet, plants don't move so they develop chemicals to defend themselves from being eaten and disappear from the environment. When we extract these chemicals or chemical elements we call them spices and or home remedial medicines. In reality, plants are actually farming us, by giving us oxygen daily, until we all eventually decompose so that they can consume us. That is why I am against the Idea of cremation because it robs the plants of food and essential nutrients. We are rich in nutrients that could be of use to plants....kkk
The term superfoods is a term folks throw in to sell more for profit. I have seen so many “quote” superfoods. The only food is anything that is nutrient dense.
Exactly. Superfood is a marketing term, full stop. Whole chapter about superfood and antioxidant myths in the book too.
I wish I had known this all those years ago. Basically what I get out of this is that everything refined by processing the food is harmful to the body because your body does not like anything refined and whole food is good.
I shop only food that is recognizable by my brain as food. If is in the box or can, or ready made by someone else , I don’t buy it. Yes wine was used very diligently mostly as medicine,boiled with black pepper cinnamon.
I dont drink every day (maybe 1-3 days per week), but as ive gotten older (and fatter), I have difficulty controlling how much I intake at each sitting.... and bad habits have developed for me (like slow-rolling alcohol for an entire Saturday). Its just come to a point where I need to abstain completely because I can't trust myself anymore.
And I'm not getting "drunk". I just enjoy it too much and I can handle A LOT more than I used to be able to. It's all bad.
You're not alone friend. I've been sober for almost 20 years it still hurts when I see people struggling with alcohol. This stuff about nutrition and health and fitness is very compelling . to be able to reduce sugars and Grains and lose your desire for alcohol man that sounds like a miracle.
This is called alcoholism.
One more thing. Our liver processes alcohol. If you get drunk rather quickly it's because it's working and metabolizing the alcohol. If you can drink all day and not feel the effects that much, you're facing liver damage! it's not metabolizing it properly because you have liver disease. Only aging alcoholics used to get fatty liver disease or cirrhosis but today 10-year-olds are presenting at doctor's office with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease from sugar.💪❤️🔥
give up the poison
@@RosaGrau2014 you're not wrong.
