    I just finished watching a video with Dr. Shawn Baker & guest, Valerie, she cured herself of a 40 year battle with anorexia & mental illness with a carnivore diet! It was fascinating!
  • @toni4729
    The whole world should hear this interview especially vegan pregnant women before there's a disaster.
  • Carnivore diet slowing brain tumours. Stopped gerds, reversed my type 2. Mental health is better now less brain fog and fatigue. Prolonging my prognosis. AS symptoms reduced.
  • @HiloBoiz808
    After almost six years of a strict vegan diet, not eating vegan junk food, daily fruit smoothies with massive spirulina, etc., I found myself in a deep dark depression with suicidal thoughts and one attempt.I quit vegan diet and slowly improved.However it wasn't until I started eating a carnivore diet that my depression completely disappeared.
  • What is surprising is that people will mistrust an idea that has zero cost and can be done by anyone yet will blindly trust a solution that requires them to buy something! Snake oil has never been free so if something free makes you feel better, it is unlikely to be snake oil!! It’s simple enough to see if reducing carbs lowers glucose. For mental health, if cutting carbs makes you feel in any way better, then surely it’s a ‘no brainer’ (pardon the pun). Why wouldn’t you lower the carbs even further? Perhaps you’ll feel better still!
  • @ellie698
    Listening to this woman speak has given me the final piece of the puzzle for me. Thank you so much I honestly can't thank you enough. God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
  • @hmlxur54
    Excellent podcast with Dr. Ede she is fabulous in explaining the role of nutrition and mental health, great suggestion for all concern.
  • @cudgee7144
    100 years ago sugar which was expensive and in short supply was deregulated in America, the price fell through the floor as the market was flooded with sugar, no coincidence that our health and well being has been in decline since. Cheap sugar was manna from heaven for the food industry. As Dr. Ede stated our health started to become worse over the last 100 years, the correlation is the deregulation of sugar. Things always happen for a reason. Keep up the good work.
  • @erniewhite1382
    Have a brother recently diagnosed with diabetes but doctors are unsure whether it is type 1 or 2 I asked him what his fasting insulin levels were as I had previously asked him to get that checked but he said that the doctor wouldn’t check as it was irrelevant 😢
  • @GlennMarshallnz
    Brilliant guest, brilliant interviewer, brilliant questions. Brilliant!! Many thanks 🙏 👍
  • So glad this information is becoming more and more popular. There is a long way to go yet before the general public understands fat and the brain.
  • @toni4729
    I have to say as a carnivore, coffee with cream, (pure cream) is my one weakness and I'll never give it up. It's the one love of my life.
  • @JoyCrossbridge
    I love this woman! She’s a gift and blessing to the world!! 💪🏻🧠💝
  • FINALY a diet expert that can read and think critically !! Modified keto saved my life and that with fasting reversed my age
  • @marktaylor3047
    Thanks to Georgia i feel genuinely hopeful for the first time in a long time. thank you!
  • @crw4rxc
    What a charming and insightful lady.
  • Proper human nutrition plus following circadian rhythmic guidelines will help most people. It’s not so much an imbalance in the brain but more an energy shortage.
  • I hope to be able to go to the gym again some day. Right now I cant because of "lack of motivation" caused by these meds.
  • So grateful for this. I’ve been raising my protein intake, especially that I’m building muscle, and this convo further confirms the need to always include red meat on my grocery list.
