Summary

Hi friends! Today's episode is Part 2 of 2 with Dr. Chris Palmer. A Harvard psychiatrist conducting neuroscience for 25 years, Dr. Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.

He explains this new understanding of mental illness in detail, from symptoms and risk factors to what is happening in brain cells. We discuss ketogenic diets, and cutting edge new science regarding the mitochondria. We also discuss the link between metabolism and every factor known to play a role in mental health, including genetics, inflammation, hormones, neurotransmitters, sleep, stress, and trauma.

In his new book, Brain Energy, Dr. Palmer sheds light on the new treatment pathways this theory opens up—which apply to all mental disorders, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, alcoholism, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, autism, and even schizophrenia. Brain Energy pairs cutting-edge science with practical advice and strategies to help people reclaim their mental health.

Prior to beginning a new diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a new diet is suitable for you and to out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a new diet, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A new diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.
0:04.7	Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the Optimal Protein podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa Spina,
0:10.0	and I am so excited for today's episode. This is part two of the interview with Dr. Chris Palmer.
0:18.0	Actually, we did two separate interviews, but the first one, I didn't get a
0:22.4	chance to read his book before because it was scheduled the next day. And this time I got a chance
0:29.4	to read the book. And so we really got to do a deep dive on some of the science and really cover a
0:36.4	lot of cutting edge science about the mitochondria, which
0:40.0	absolutely blew my mind. So this is a real mind-blowing episode. I know it's going to blow your
0:44.8	minds in terms of how it affects hormones, neurotransmitters, everything from thyroid to estrogen.
0:51.3	It's absolutely fascinating. And we got to really cover a ton of ground in
0:57.5	today's episode. So I'm so excited for you all to hear this interview. This is a part two of the
1:03.6	interview with Dr. Chris Palmer on his new book, Brain Energy. Hi friends. Would you like to
1:10.1	dramatically improve the quality of your sleep?
1:13.6	Would you like to be bulletproof to stress? Please listen to the end because there is a Black
1:18.9	Friday special offer happening and this could be exactly what you need. I've got a few more
1:24.3	quick questions for you. Are you irritable or anxious? Do you struggle with
1:28.1	insomnia? Experience muscle cramps or twitches? Are you constipated at times? There are dozens of
1:35.1	symptoms of magnesium deficiency and these are just a few of the most common ones. Four out of five
1:41.6	Americans are magnesium deficient and almost everyone is at suboptimal levels.
1:48.0	And that's a big problem because magnesium is involved in more than 600 biochemical reactions
1:53.6	in your body. Now here's what most people don't know. Taking just any magnesium supplement
1:59.7	may not necessarily solve your problem because a lot
