#167 - The Keto Diet and Mental Illness with Dr. Chris Palmer (Part 2)

Why are there higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and early deaths amongst people diagnosed with a mental disorder? Dr. Chris Palmer joins us to advance the idea that mental disorders are actually metabolic disorders of the brain. After integrating research from several fields and sources, he claims that understanding metabolism at the cellular level is “the only way to connect the dots in the mental health field.” Please consult your doctor before applying any treatments discussed on this podcast.
