Combine the surprising truth about brain food with the cutting-edge science of brain metabolism to achieve extraordinary emotional, cognitive, and physical health.

Are you struggling with attention problems, mood swings, food obsession, or depression? Whatever the issue, you have far more control over your thoughts, feelings, and behavior than you realize. Although medications may bring some relief, in Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede reveals that the most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because that’s where brain chemicals come from in the first place.

In this provocative, illuminating guide, Dr. Ede explains why nearly everything we think we know about brain-healthy diets is wrong. We've been told the way to protect our brains is with superfoods, supplements, and plant-based diets rich in whole grains and legumes, but the science tells a different story: not only do these strategies often fail, but some can even work against us. The truth about brain food is that meat is not dangerous, vegan diets are not healthier, and antioxidants are not the answer.

Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind will empower you to:

• understand how unscientific research methods drive fickle nutrition headlines and illogical dietary guidelines
• weigh the risks and benefits of your favorite foods so you can make your own informed choices about what to eat
• evaluate yourself for signs of insulin resistance—the silent metabolic disease that robs your brain of the energy it needs to thrive
• improve your mental health with a choice of moderate-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets that you can personalize to your food preferences and health goals

Drawing on a wide range of scientific disciplines including biochemistry, neuroscience, and botany, Dr. Ede will ignite your curiosity about the fascinating world of food and its role in nourishing, protecting, and energizing your brain.

Everyone in developed world MUST read esp. parents

There was not much in this book that I did not already know, but there is something about the way it is presented here that made the penny drop a little differently than ever before. Similar general thesis to Brain Energy by Chris Palmer, but this one landed more effectively for me

Everyone in the developed world should read this book, Every parent and aspiring parent MUST read it.

Great Information!

Highly recommend everyone read/listen to this book. Change your diet and it could save your life.

Excellent strategies for avoiding and reversing the damage caused by highly processed food.

I liked the integration of paleo, low carb, and keto diet strategies, and the resources and sources cited are superb for following up and taking a deeper dive.

Fantastic work!

I listened to this book and now want to go back through and take notes. So much here. Such great information!

Never linked mental illness and nutrition together before this book.

Thank you Dr. Ede for showing me the connection between having a mental illness and the effect nutrition has on our brains. After dealing with depression, anxiety, panic disorder and other symptoms for over 30 years, not once did my doctor, therapist, psychiatrist ever mention that my diet may have something to do with it. This is valuable information that really makes a difference. I have been doing a ketogenic diet for a while now and all the above symptoms have been alleviated. I recommend this book for anyone who deals with mental illness. Thank you again Dr. Ede.
