Commusings: Is Mental Illness a Metabolic Disorder?

Feb 11, 2025
28:55
Could there be a unifying theory of mental disorder? Could mental illness be a metabolic disorder of the brain? In this episode, I summarize my extensive conversation with Dr. Chris Palmer, author of the new fascinating book, Brain Energy.

Commusings are thoughtful essays and short-form reflections on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, health, and culture. For more musings and quotes, connect with us on Instagram at @onecommune or @jeffkrasno or sign up for the Commusings newsletter at onecommune.com.

I tried everything and snipd is the no 1 app for podcasts if you like to remember things. Just tap your headphones three times and a snipped is created, transcribed, and saved to you library.

I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.
