He explains the important connection between nutrition, metabolism and mental health and his pioneering work using the ketogenic diet to successfully treat patients with various mental illnesses, including depression and schizophrenia. Dr. Palmer explains how the ketogenic diet is an evidenced-based treatment for epilepsy, mimics the fasted state and can offset the cognitive decline in Alzheimer\u2019s. He describes the key roles of mitochondria in mental health, how certain conditions likely arise from mitochondrial dysfunction, and how low-carbohydrate diets increase mitochondrial turnover to improve mental health. He also explains how low-carbohydrate diets positively impact the gut microbiome and weight loss, important risk factors for mitochondrial health such as marijuana and alcohol, and the best way to increase circulating ketones depending on individual needs. We also cover how a ketogenic diet impacts mood, sleep, and fertility. Dr. Palmer\u2019s work stands as a revolutionary approach to mental health and disease that, given the prevalence of mental health challenges, should be of interest to people of all backgrounds and ages.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to our sponsors<br \/>\nAG1 (Athletic Greens): https:\/\/athleticgreens.com\/huberman<br \/>\nThesis: https:\/\/takethesis.com\/Huberman<br \/>\nEight Sleep: https:\/\/www.eightsleep.com\/huberman<br \/>\nROKA: https:\/\/www.roka.com\/huberman<br \/>\nInsideTracker: https:\/\/www.insidetracker.com\/huberman<\/p>\n<p>Supplements from Momentous<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.livemomentous.com\/huberman<\/p>\n<p>Huberman Lab Premium<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/hubermanlab.com\/premium<\/p>\n<p>Social &amp; Website<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hubermanlab<br \/>\nTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/hubermanlab<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hubermanlab<br \/>\nTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@hubermanlab<br \/>\nLinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/andrew-huberman<br \/>\nWebsite: https:\/\/hubermanlab.com<br \/>\nNewsletter: https:\/\/hubermanlab.com\/neural-network<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Chris Palmer<br \/>\nDr. Palmer\u2019s website: https:\/\/www.chrispalmermd.com<br \/>\nBrain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health&#8211;and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XheFIV<br \/>\nMedical profile: https:\/\/www.mcleanhospital.org\/profile\/christopher-palmer<br \/>\nAcademic profile &amp; publications: https:\/\/connects.catalyst.harvard.edu\/Profiles\/display\/Person\/70255<br \/>\nTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisPalmerMD<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chrispalmermd<\/p>\n<p>Timestamps<br \/>\n00:00:00 Dr. Chris Palmer, Mental Health &amp; Metabolic Disorders<br \/>\n00:03:25 Thesis, Eight Sleep, ROKA<br \/>\n00:07:18 Nutrition &amp; Mental Health<br \/>\n00:20:43 Low-Carb Diets &amp; Anti-Depression, Fasting, Ketosis<br \/>\n00:27:52 Schizophrenia, Depression &amp; Ketogenic Diet<br \/>\n00:34:32 AG1 (Athletic Greens)<br \/>\n00:35:38 Psychiatric Mediations, Diet Adherence<br \/>\n00:42:35 Highly Processed Foods, Ketones &amp; Mental Health Benefits<br \/>\n00:46:51 Ketogenic Diet &amp; Epilepsy Treatment<br \/>\n00:56:10 Ketogenic Diet &amp; Mitochondria Health<br \/>\n00:57:05 Nutrition &amp; Benefits for Neurologic\/Psychiatric Disorders<br \/>\n01:05:44 Mitochondrial Function &amp; Mental Health<br \/>\n01:15:12 InsideTracker<br \/>\n01:16:23 Mitophagy, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Aging &amp; Diet<br \/>\n01:25:09 Neurons, Mitochondria &amp; Blood Glucose<br \/>\n01:31:54 Obesity, Ketogenic Diet &amp; Mitochondria<br \/>\n01:40:00 Mitochondrial Function: Inheritance, Risk Factors, Marijuana<br \/>\n01:46:34 Alcohol &amp; Ketogenic Diet<br \/>\n01:55:21 Brain Imaging, Alzheimer\u2019s Disease &amp; Ketones<br \/>\n02:01:05 Exogenous (Liquid) Ketones vs. Ketogenic Diet<br \/>\n02:06:27 Neuronal Damage, Ketones &amp; Glucose<br \/>\n02:10:16 Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, Age-Related Cognitive Decline &amp; Ketogenic Diet<br \/>\n02:23:45 Ketogenic Diet &amp; Weight Loss<br \/>\n02:35:47 Ketogenic Diet &amp; Fasting, Hypomania, Sleep<br \/>\n02:46:37 Low Carbohydrate Diets, Menstrual Cycles, Fertility<br \/>\n02:52:23 Obesity Epidemic, Semaglutide &amp; GLP-1 Medications<br \/>\n03:01:01 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify &amp; Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous Supplements, Neural Network Newsletter, Social Media<\/p>\n<p>Huberman Lab is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor\/patient relationship is formed.
