The Role of Insulin in Brain Function With Dr. Georgia Ede (Central Insulin Resistance Explained!)

In today’s episode, nutritional psychiatrist Dr. Georgia explores how insulin resistance, marked by elevated insulin levels, can profoundly affect cognitive and mental well-being. From anxiety and depression to ADHD, autism, and bipolar disorder, she unveils the intricate relationship between insulin dynamics and brain function.
Insulin, a key player in regulating glucose utilization for energy, is vital for proper brain cell function. Yet, when insulin levels fluctuate, brain cells may falter, giving rise to cognitive challenges. Dr. Ede further discussed how maternal hyperglycemia and diabetes can heighten the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
However, navigating stress and sleep deprivation poses hurdles to reaping the full benefits of ketosis. Dr. Ede underscores the importance of maintaining optimal insulin and glucose levels, advocating for the ketogenic diet as a sustainable pathway to sustained ketosis.
Join Dr. Georgia Ede as she delves into the broader landscape of brain health, tackling topics such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and the profound impact of diet on cognitive function.
