Episode notes

Sometimes a dietary intervention isn't going to be enough. Maybe down the road, there are other nutritional interventions that may have also alternative or complementary metabolic impacts as well. For some people, it really is just getting rid of the processed junk food. We've got a couple of trials of the Mediterranean diet helping some people recover from chronic depression. There are lots of dietary strategies we can use. It's really about a comprehensive lifestyle strategy.

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.
