In today's episode, I interview my friend, the founder, and CEO of Zero Acre Farms, Jeff Nobbs. Jeff is on a mission to create a food company that will replace destructive, inflammatory vegetable oils with healthier, more sustainable oils and fats made through fermentation. Not only has Jeff created a low Omega-6 cooking oil that's neutral in taste with a high smoke point and low oxidation, but it also is more environmentally friendly – just the kind of win-win we look for and love in the food and nutrition space. In this episode, we talk about how widespread the use of seed oils has become, especially in industrial kitchens throughout the country. We also cover the destructive nature of industrial and vegetable seed oils, detail their negative impact on human and environmental health, learn about the toxic aldehyde that comes only from Omega-6 fats, called HNE, discuss why fermented oil is a better choice than Avocado and Olive oils, and so much more.Tune in and learn how you can improve the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 in your body and for your family.

Today’s amazing guest is Elise Loehnen, brilliant writer, editor, and podcast host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are and then putting those threads back together.

The book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways the patriarchy lands in our bodies and embeds itself in our consciousness and what we then police in ourselves and in each other.With awareness, we can begin to recognize these patterns of self restriction, break the story, and move ourselves and each other towards freedom and balance.

250. Mitochondria & Mental Illness: Finding Hope & Healing in Our Cells with Dr. Chris Palmer #WellnessWednesdays

Dr. Chris Palmer is taking the internet by storm and for good reason. He's a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher, and his new book, Brain Energy, proposes a comprehensive theory of what causes mental illness, integrating existing theories and research into one unifying theory, the brain energy theory of mental illness, in which he argues that mental disorders are really metabolic disorders of the brain. In today’s conversation, Dr. Palmer shares the science behind how the mitochondria functions in the body, and ultimately affects brain health. He shares how we can support healthy mitochondria and what the recent research in the last 20 years tells us about healing mental illness with metabolic interventions, like the ketogenic diet, and lifestyle strategies like exercise, a good sleep routine, reducing inflammation, and more.It is really amazing to think about the healing and regeneration that can happen for your mitochondria when you use these metabolic interventions, and hearing the life-changing impacts of implementing these practices with amazing stories like he shares in this episode brings so much hope for the future. I can’t thank Dr. Palmer enough for concisely putting this theory into a book that anyone can read. It is such an important message, affirming our ability to really have control over our life and live the best version of it.We also cover…00:02:00 — An Introduction to How Mitochondria Functions in the BodyWhy Dr. Palmer became a psychiatrist and his mother’s struggleHow the mitochondria can influence mental illness The role of mitochondria in the body: Neurotransmitters and hormonesWhy women are more susceptible to mental illnessThe new research backing up his theory00:22:00 — How Metabolic Interventions like the Ketogenic Diet Impact Brain HealthWhat we can do proactively support mental healthMetabolic strategies for improving mitochondrial healthHow COVID can cause mental health challengesCase study: Recovering from chronic schizophrenia using metabolic treatmentsWhy the ketogenic diet is so effective at treating seizures and other brain illnessesHow the brain can use ketones as a fuel source to support and regenerate mitochondria00:46:00 — Lifestyle Strategies That Support Mental HealthDangers of prescription medications that harm metabolismMitochondrial biogenesis through exerciseThe importance of a good sleep routineDr. Palmer’s perspective on supplements Effects of the ketogenic diet on women’s hormonesDr. Palmer and Kelly’s experiences with the ketogenic dietResources:Website: brainenergy.comWebsite: chrispalmermd.comWebsite: The Mental and Metabolic Health Assessment Instagram: @chrispalmermdTwitter: @chrispalmermdFacebook:.facebook.com/ChrisPalmerMDYouTube: Chris Palmer MDRead: Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health--and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More by Dr. Chris PalmerConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.AG1 | Get 1 FREE year of Vitamin D immune support along with 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase at drinkAG1.com/BEWELL.LMNT | Go to DrinkLMNT.com/Kelly to order a free sample pack of LMNT electrolytes.
