Dr. Georgia Ede received her B.A. in Biology from Carleton College in Minnesota, then spent seven years as a research assistant in the fields of biochemistry, wound healing and diabetes before going on to earn an M.D. from the University of Vermont College Of Medicine.
Dr. Ede then completed her residency in general adult psychiatry at Harvard's Cambridge Hospital in 2002 and was a staff psychopharmacologist at Harvard University Health Services from 2007 to 2013. In 2013 she left Harvard to become the psychiatrist for Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts where she provides nutrition consults as well as psychiatric services to Smith students.
Dr. Ede was the first and only psychiatrist at Harvard University Health Services to offer nutrition consultation as an alternative to medication management to students, faculty and staff.

Love Dr Georgia Ede. 💜😃
The hardest part about the ketogenic diet is, going out anywhere. You can’t even find anything in a hospital cafeteria that’s worth eating unless you bring it with you. Everywhere you go, if you need something to eat, it’s going to be very hard to find.
Thank you Dr. Ede for the lecture, I’ve been keto/carnivore for now, nearly thirty two years and have managed to survive it well.
Fantastic, I always enjoy learning from low carb down under and Dr. Georgia Ede thank you.
Georgia Ede is one of the best – possibly THE best – in psychiatry. Why don’t we hear from others in that field? Because helping people get healthy outside of drugging them is harder and less profitable?
Nice presentation. I found it quite informative. Having type 2 diabetes along with a father grandfather great grandfather and great grand mother who were victims of Alzheimer’s I am of course quite interested in how diet relates to dementia. It gives me hope that the diet that I am following will help me avoid Alzheimer’s as well as control my sugar. Thank you.
Georgia Ede is the best!
Thanks for pulling back the curtain part way.

Thank you for bringing these important messages again and again in a world that wants us to eat carbohydrates and vegetable oils.
I’m of course used to a quite bad western diet in Europe and changed mine some years ago to a LCHF natural food diet with good effect on a couple of health issues. Recently I went to a scientific conference taking place in a state capital in the US. The conference venue was the big hotel group starting with H, I myself stayed in a close-by hotel of a side‐branch of the same hotel group. Both hotels are up-market 5 star hotels.
Due to the nature of my trip, I had to eat nearly the whole week in that hotels. The food was so BAD: ultra processed, plastic packed, bad tasting, wrong texture, low fat heart healty declared stuff. Fruit only with added sugar, meat barely distinguishable, veggies violated in the kitchen. If this is the food people eat that can afford 200+ $ per person and night in a fancy hotel, I must not imagine the stuff poorer people eat.
The good thing: it helped me a lot not to eat and do OMAD…
Wow! a beautiful, funny, thorough scientific summary of a difficult topic. Please share Georgia Ede with everyone you know 🙏🏻 this information needs to be more prominently understood in the world 💛💛💛
