It may seem like every corner of the wellness space has been researched, everything has been studied and reported ad nauseam, that no new frontiers of modern health remain.
Today, Dr. Georgia Ede joins the show to outline her new book – Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind – and to smash that notion to pieces!
She is an internationally recognized expert in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Having co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for treatment resistant mental illness, she developed the first medically accredited course in ketogenic diets for mental health practitioners.
In today’s episode, we talk about how and why our diets and mental health are inextricably linked – but it goes so much deeper than that. She walks us through her own personal journey to healing, discovered through years of frustration and syndrome-related struggles.
Be sure to order Dr. Ede’s book for her expanded recommendations and research. And please share this episode with anyone who you think might benefit from the wisdom shared in it.

Dr. Cate Shanahan’s groundbreaking work has inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live culture ferments, and seed-oil-free business empires. In this episode, I welcome Dr. Cate back on the podcast to chat about the latest research in her new book, Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back.
We covered Seed Oils 101 in our last conversation (episode 210); so here, we take it even deeper, talking about seed oil’s connection to cellular damage, uncontrollable hunger, blood sugar instability, and gut inflammation. We also address headlines stating that the ketogenic diet is just as good as a high-carbohydrate diet for managing diabetes.
Dr. Cate explains how to replete our cells and fuel our mitochondria, cut through the anti-inflammatory diet noise and learn what foods to prioritize to fight oxidative stress and get more energy to our cells. We also learn how to build meals that prevent energy dips and debunk myths about snacking and fasting.
By taking this science seriously and making informed dietary choices, we can improve our health and the health of our families. Our wellbeing is worth the effort!

Women's brain health remains one of the most under researched, underdiagnosed, and undertreated fields of medicine – and someone needs to fix it. Enter today’s brilliant guest, Dr. Lisa Mosconi. She is the director of the Women's Brain Initiative at the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital.
In this conversation, we explore menopause's effect on the body, brain, and hormones. Dr. Mosconi expertly clarifies what menopause is and isn't with a strong focus on the impact of menopause on brain health, cognitive health, and mental health. Dr. Mosconi walks us through the map of our reproductive health from pre to post menopause, highlighting hallmark signs and symptoms of transitions from each phase to the next.
She shares why the old clinical ways of looking at menopause aren’t effective, and introduces new science and technology that allows women to have more knowledge around how menopause affects the brain. Dr. Mosconi explains the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy, surgical menopause and also provides non-hormonal, lifestyle advice for managing the symptoms of menopause.
It is my dream for everyone to be as healthy as possible, equipped with the knowledge necessary to make empowered, informed decisions about living their best lives. I'm deeply grateful to Dr. Lisa Mosconi for generously sharing her expertise with us, enabling women to navigate menopause with ease and understanding.

We start by diving into the pillars of the Fab 4 (protein, fats, fibers, and greens), and how you can set your body up for success while enjoying all the adventures and yummy food wherever you end up this summer.
I share key tips and tricks that I give my clients to not only survive but truly thrive during the inconsistent season of summer. Plus, I give insight into what I’m doing to prepare for our first family trip abroad this summer (yay!).
I also answer listener questions including summer meal prep tips, what snacks I’m bringing on the flight abroad, what’s on my skin and body care packing list, how I’m taking care of my sleep hygiene while traveling, favorite daily supplements, what I’ll be doing to reset once I’m back, and so much more!
I hope this episode helps you enjoy summer to the fullest while also supporting your body so that you can feel your best in the process. Here's to adventures for you and your family, whether they're on your playroom floor or a walk through your neighborhood. Let's not just survive but thrive all summer long.

I’m excited to sit down today with Dr. Joel "Gator" Warsh, a trailblazing board-certified pediatrician known for his holistic approach to child health. Dr. Gator brings a unique integrative perspective to pediatric care with an extensive background in kinesiology, psychology, and epidemiology.

Dr. Gator explains his integrative approach to teaching parents about their children’s health, highlighting a holistic health view that considers emotional, physical, and environmental wellbeing tailored to each child’s unique needs. He provides new parents essential tips around the five seeds of health – stress, environment and toxins, exercise, diet, and sleep.
He also shares how he runs his integrative practice, advocating for noninvasive medical treatments that respect each child’s individual comfort level.
But how can you apply the lessons in this conversation? We make sure to discuss practical tips for modern parenting, from managing screen time to co-sleeping to navigating the phenomenon of Dr. Google.

Through empowering discussions on nutrition education, stress management techniques, and navigating the influence of the food industry, this episode will give parents a guide to teaching their children tools for living their most healthful and happy lives.
If you're a parent who wants to know that you're doing everything you can to help your kids be well and stay well, look no further.
