Dr. Chris Palmer
Harvard Psychiatrist, Researcher, and Author
Willy sat down with Dr. Chris Palmer, Harvard psychiatrist, researcher, and author of Brain Energy.
Dr. Palmer has become one of the leading voices exploring the connection between metabolism, nutrition, and mental health, challenging decades of conventional thinking about psychiatric disorders.
He and Willy discussed why mental illnesses may actually be metabolic disorders affecting the brain, the science behind ketogenic therapies and psychiatric recovery, and how lifestyle, stress, sleep, and nutrition can dramatically impact brain health. They also explored what this emerging research could mean for the future treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Dr. Palmer challenges the way we think about mental health, arguing that many psychiatric conditions may be rooted in metabolic dysfunction. What I appreciated most about Brain Energy is that it connects cutting-edge science with real hope for people who have struggled to find answers. It's a thought-provoking read that could change how you think about the relationship between the brain, the body, and overall well-being.
