Dr. Chris Palmer: Your Diet Could Be Causing Anxiety, Depression & Brain Fog (6 Simple Changes to Make Today)
Descripción del Episodio
What if we've been thinking about mental illness all wrong? Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer argues that conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia may be rooted in metabolic dysfunction, not just genetics or trauma. Drawing on decades of clinical research, he explains which chemical additives may be harming our brains, why ketogenic diets are showing remarkable promise for severe mental illness, and why recovery is about far more than willpower. Chris also opens up to Jay about the deeply personal story of his mother that inspired him to pursue psychiatry, and why, despite the growing mental health crisis, he remains genuinely hopeful for the next generation.
In this episode you'll learn:
How to Recognize the Connection Between Diet & Mental Health
How to Notice Warning Signs of Metabolic Dysfunction
How to Support Loved Ones Through a Mental Health Crisis
How to Become More Resilient with Self-Care
How to Turn Personal Pain Into Purpose
How to Use Fasting & Ketogenic Diets Safely
How to Talk to Kids About Nutrition & Brain Health
Healing rarely comes from one single fix. Instead it comes from understanding the whole person: body, brain, and everything we feed both. Sometimes the most radical form of self-love is simply asking what’s going into your body, and why?
With Love and Gratitude,
