Transform Your Mental Health With Diet & Lifestyle | Dr. Chris Palmer

简介：

Dr. Chris Palmer, a board‑certified psychiatrist and Harvard professor, explains how nutrition, exercise, supplements, and lifestyle choices can improve mitochondrial health and alleviate conditions such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, and depression. He discusses the biology of mitochondria, the impact of vaccines on inflammation and mitochondrial function, and the role of creatine, methylene blue, urolithin A, B vitamins, and iron in mental health. Throughout the episode, Palmer covers topics from childhood trauma and metabolic risk to the effects of stimulants, nicotine, and alcohol on dopamine and mitochondria. He examines dietary approaches—including ketogenic, low‑fat, and intermittent fasting diets—alongside the influence of ultra‑processed foods, additives, and the food industry. The conversation also touches on gut microbiome interactions, the potential of fasting to boost brain metabolism, and the importance of biomarkers for assessing metabolic health. Finally, Palmer outlines future research directions and practical strategies for integrating metabolic and mental health care.
