Dr. Ali Ibrahim is training in Child and Adolescent psychiatry in London with an interest in eating disorders, and Dr. Agnes Ayton is a consultant psychiatrist in eating disorders in Oxford.

We talk about:

• The Western diet - a blind spot in eating disorder research
• Prevalence of eating disorders has increased
• Dietary and lifestyle approaches to eating disorders
• Mythbusting: 1) Variety is about nutrition rather than type of food  2) High eating frequency isn’t necessarily required  3) The difference between fasting and starvation
• Disordered eating is a spectrum that many more are on than are officially diagnosed. Change of eating disorder prevalence and type from small number with anorexia to more with that, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. Up to 6% now with diagnosis, but many more with disordered eating.
• Food environment change over last 50 years is prime suspect
• Very few descriptions (going back to 1689) of anorexia nervosa, explosion in the late 20th century of binge eating disorders
• Disordered eating through lens of evolutionary sexual competition (women showing bodies on social media and comparison driving disordered eating)
• Lack of seasonality in modern food environment driving disordered eating
• Carbs and fats artificially combined all year round driving disordered eating, like we are eating fruit and nuts together by several species fattening up
• Omega 6 to omega 3 fat ratio
• Negative linoleic acid impact on gut health, metabolic health, and eating habits
• Food type discussion a good thing in treating disordered eating
• Categorising food as better or worse is important and not to be avoided
• NOVA food classification - how industrially processed a food is
• Complex mechanisms for UPFs driving disordered eating
• Sugar, veg oils, and trans fats all drive the issue
• Novel multiple chemical ingredients
• “Diet” products often badly backfire
• Ultra-processed foods are not metabolically inert
• No evidence of someone who’s obese or has T2D going on low carb diet and developing an eating disorder
• Body image on social media vs food environment
• People binge 100% on ultra-processed-processed foods
• Breastfed babies stop eating before gaining weight compared to bottle fed

"The incidence of late ARDS among those exposed to TPN was 28.7% (116/404) compared with 3.9% (76/1942) among those not so exposed. Adjustments for potential confounding associated risk factors were made."

"For instance, metabolism of omega-3 fatty acids leads to less inflammation than metabolism of omega-6 fatty acids and may reduce the harmful side effects of TPN"

"Increases in unsaturated serum acyl chain ratios differentiate between healthy and seriously ill patients, and identify those patients likely to develop ARDS. Thus, the serum acyl ratio may not only prospectively identify and facilitate the assessment of new treatments in patients at highest risk for developing ARDS, but may also lead to new insights about the pathogenesis of ARDS."

Emma Williams is the CEO and founder of a charity called Matthew’s Friends, named after her son, whose severe, life-threatening epileptic seizures dropped by 90% simply after a change in diet. It transformed their lives. Not many people know that ketogenic diets have been used for 100 years as a therapy. It’s a fascinating chat about the anger Emma felt and how that drove her to get the message out on how these diets can transform the lives of people with epilepsy, other chronic disorders, and the average person.

Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor and neurosurgical resident who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health.

It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors are caused by the food we eat, or don't eat, and can be reversed with dietary changes to a species specific diet.

He began University at the age of 16 studying Molecular & Cellular Biology with a Minor in Chemistry, which culminated in an MD from the Royal College of Surgeons. He is an All-American rugby player, former professional player in England and America, and has also trained in MMA fighting at AMC Kickboxing in Kirkland, Washington.

More recently, he volunteered as a doctor in the refugee camps in Bangladesh, helping the survivors of the 2017 genocide in Burma of the Rohingyan people.

We discuss the 30 year battle one of the case series patients describes prior to recovery, how the 'eat everything' tactic doesn't work for many, and how this case series gives us fuel to investigate further, but is not a blanket recommendation for people with eating disorders to experiment alone.
