The Surprising Link Between Metabolism & Mental Illness | Dr. Chris Palmer


Listen Later

Discover the compelling link between mental health and metabolic dysfunction with Harvard psychiatrist, Dr. Chris Palmer and author of the book Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health--and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More.


After years of treating patients, he stumbled upon a paradigm shift - a schizophrenia patient's symptoms went into remission with a ketogenic diet, pushing him toward the metabolic roots of mental health. Could mental illnesses be metabolic disorders caused by dysfunctional mitochondria in the brain?


Join us to explore this revolutionary breakthrough, blending diet, lifestyle changes and metabolic interventions, and how it can redefine treatment for millions globally suffering from mental disorders.
