Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind

Resumen del Editor

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent in depth analysis

I’ve read many books on nutrition, in the double digits. This is my second overall favorite, in terms of broad discussion, specific nutritional information and advice, implementability, new information presented, and insights offered by the very qualified and experienced author. If you need to heal your body and your brain, or are helping someone else to do so, get this book and follow it’s instructions. This book should be required reading in all high school health programs. It would revolutionize mental and physical health. Let this wash over you. Read it twice. Unbelievably helpful.

You will change your mind about food!

Dr Ede explains how what we eat changes how our brain works in an easy to digest style. I am 1 year symptom free from bipolar disorder eating in the way Dr Ede explains so well in this important work. I feel this book will help others to understand, plan and take control of their brain health for years to come. Cheers, Michael

 Deep dive into nutrition and mental health 

This book will help me explain nutrition to my patients. I have already experienced how dietary change can change the mind. This book fills in the blanks for me and gave me new tools for explanation.

Also practical things that I can use in my practice.

There is something gratifying about reading a detailed description of why what I have already seen makes sense. I "believe" the contents of this book because I already can give examples of success in my practice. When treating metabolic syndrome improvements in mood is commonly seen. This gives me motivation to try and work closely with patients who have more debilitating psychiatric conditions.

I am share this book which hopefully will get my patients to ask for help putting it into practice.

Food has a larger impact on mental health than you would think

In hindsight, it is so logical that food would have a large impact on mental health. Turns out if you feed your body what it was designed to run on, good things happen. Psychiatry, being captured by the drug industry, has bypassed this fact for many decades until recently...it's not good for profits. Great to see Dr. ede and others pursuing this. How long will it take for the establishment to stuff them out? Great narration by the author. Highly recommend.
