Hello and welcome to the Psychiatry and Psychothermic Podcast.

I'm here to talk about getting rid of burnout, increasing job satisfaction, and feeling

like an expert in what you do.

One thing that created a lot of burnout and angst for me was trying to get continued

medical education right at the last minute.

Dr. Pewter and Dr. Palmer have no conflicts of interest to report.

All right, welcome back to the podcast.

I am joined today with Dr. Chris Palmer.

He is a psychiatrist practicing at Harvard.

He does research and he has a part time, it seems, clinical practice there.

He has recently written a book called Brain Energy.

This is a book which talks about how the ketogenic diet can be used to treat different mental

He has published some case studies and reviews on this topic as well in scholarly journals,

which we'll talk about.

So I would like to start out by just kind of asking you maybe to give me the elevator pitch

to the big picture of the book and then we'll zoom in and look at maybe individual aspects.

Yeah, no, thanks for having me.

The book is actually about so much more than just the ketogenic.
