Struggling With Depression, Anxiety, or ADHD? You Can Feel Better By Changing How You Eat.

In 2023, a Gallup poll revealed that 34% of women had been diagnosed with depression or anxiety at some point in their lifetime. The numbers are even higher among women of color and non-binary individuals. If you struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or ADHD (still radically underdiagnosed in women and girls), you are far from alone.

The good news is that groundbreaking research offers new hope. Pioneering work from Harvard University nutritional psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede has demonstrated that dramatic reductions in mental health symptoms are possible through dietary changes—specifically, the ketogenic diet.

While the ketogenic diet is widely known for its role in weight loss and managing diabetes, it was originally developed as a life-saving treatment for children with epilepsy before effective medications were available. For some of these children, the ketogenic diet was the difference between life and death.

So, how does this relate to mental health? In the same way that the ketogenic diet stabilizes neurons to prevent seizures, Dr. Ede's research suggests it can also have a profoundly stabilizing impact on individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even schizophrenia. Many patients have reported complete remission of their symptoms.

If the idea of adopting a ketogenic lifestyle sounds intimidating, rest assured—it doesn’t have to be. You don’t need expensive supplements or exotic ingredients. You can achieve ketosis with simple, everyday foods and still feel satisfied.
