What even is a brain healthy diet? I was thrilled to get to sit down with Dr. Georgia Ede (Harvard-trained board certified psychiatrist and nutritional and metabolic psychiatry pioneer!) to learn more about what it means to formulate a diet that is going to improve your brain's health and functioning, and how to do that.
Thank you so much Dr. Ede for joining us and for the valuable work you are doing!
