Your Brain on Ketones: The New Science Linking Metabolic Health, Mental Health, and the Power of Ketosis with Dr. Georgia Ede

People with pre-diabetes are 2.7 times more likely to develop major depression. People with new bipolar disorder are 3.5 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome. If that stopped you in your tracks, good – it stopped me too.

I brought Dr. Georgia Ede back to The Resetter Podcast to dig into her new expert consensus on ketogenic diets and mental health, and this conversation is one every woman needs to hear.

Dr. Ede is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and one of the world's leading experts in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. What she laid out in this episode completely reframed how I think about brain health, brain energy, and what it actually means to feed your mind.

We get into why the brain is a hybrid engine that runs best on a mixture of glucose and ketones and what happens when it runs on glucose alone. If you've ever wondered whether what you eat is affecting how you think, feel, and function – this one will give you the science and tools to find out.
