Nutrition-Based Approaches as an Alternative to Psychiatric Medications, Part 1
January 9, 2024
The most powerful way to change brain chemistry is with food, because that’s where brain chemicals come from in the first place. Georgia Ede, MD, is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist specializing in nutrition science, brain metabolism, and mental health. She discusses her new book, "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." She empowers 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, and improve your mental health with a choice of moderate-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets that you can personalize to your food preferences and health goals.

ENCORE: Connecting the Dots Between Your Gut Health and Many Common Ailments, Part 1
January 4, 2024
Dr. William Davis, author of the best-selling Wheat Belly series, focuses on the microbiome in his new book "Super Gut: Reprogram Your Microbiome to Restore Health, Lose Weight, and Turn Back the Clock." Dr. Davis relates how the limitations of his conventional cardiology training led him to explore natural alternatives, which fundamentally altered his patients’ trajectory to heart disease. He describes the rationale for gluten avoidance as a path, not just to weight loss, but also to overall health restoration. Dr. Davis goes beyond mere gluten avoidance; it’s necessary to curtail many other offending grains and embrace a low-carb diet. His research has revealed that homemade yogurts, made with specific starters, have a wide range of benefits. A polyphenol and prebiotic-rich diet, probiotic replacement, as well as certain nutraceuticals are critical to restoration of gut integrity. Click HERE for part 2.
