Dr. Chris Palmer MD - Brain Dysfunction is a Metabolic Problem #47

Dr. Chris Palmer is the pioneer in using low carbohydrate ketogenic diets to treat psychiatric patients suffering from treatment-resistant mental disorders. As a traditionally-trained psychiatrist, it was hard for him to believe the results his psychiatric patients experienced when they "went keto." He knew the ketogenic diet had been used for 100 years to treat epilepsy. He theorized that the therapeutic effects must extend to other mental illnesses. Dr. Palmer's results - both in the clinic and the lab - gives hope to people who suffer from brain dysfunctions previously thought to be incurable.   Quick guide: 01:00 Dr. Christ Palmer’s background 03:03 How the Atkins Diet improved his health 07:52 Recommending ketogenic diet to his patients 16:30 Surprise effects of the ketogenic diet on mental disorders 21:09 Rebalancing chemical imbalances 31:22 Changing epigenetics and finding hope 35:09 How mainstream psychiatry is receiving the study on the ketogenic diet 38:51 Brain inflammation and its relation to obesity 45:07 The reception in the Harvard community 51:24 Challenges in psychiatric practice 54:46 Ketosis as a metabolic intervention 59:21 The difference between a regular mental state and mental illness Get to know our guest: Dr. Chris Palmer has been a psychiatrist for over 25 years.
