PALMER has changed my life. ..I pray and hope the information he shares helps you to. ❤ We can change the world with his information. Let's try!
I really appreciated you touching on epilepsy during this talk. I usually listen to you and follow you on My Amazon Podcasts, but I was passionate about making a comment today, hence why I came onto YouTube , it would be great if you did some more Epilepsy related topics as we have such a diverse range of people with epilepsy around the world. Thank you for your guidance and advice and everything. Caz
Thank you for sharing phenomenal discussion and insights of mitophagy / improving mitochondria impairment by simple lifestyle changes, leading to cure for major illness including mental illness ! If I may I would like to ask if these lifestyle changes that were mentioned could cure the allergies as well. I have been developing strong pollen allergies where I cannot eat all the fruits both fresh and cooked and part of vegetables even with the medication I take. Only I hear is that this will get worsen over time and it would be great to hear if there is any study related to it.

In short: Metabolism and Psycosis, an interesting connection
Notes: Chris is an outspoken and well spoken doctor who is pioneering the keto diet for psychiatric illnesses. He has a lot of powerful anecdotal stories, and mechanism, that gives his theories strength and backing. The nuance and not just blind faith in keto diet to help ppl was good. Chris referenced many studies but didn’t say many names of ppl in the field which was ok, and it seemed like a lot of chris/huberman were just begging for more studies. The politics of science and realities of treating patients came through this podcast and was interesting as well. And the idea that metabolic syndrome and obesity are brain/mental illnesses is kind of profound and scattered throughout this podcast, but never explicitly stated. Would have been nice, the environmental vs. genetic talk of being fat.
Nice. Informative. …
On the presentation level. One can learn to speak with a less 'nasal' voice. Sounds becoming annoyingly intrusive diminish the impact of the content. …
On the content level. Container numbers – hundreds of thousands, … – make the content less specific. Or 'precise' numbers, or none. … And the 'calorie restriction' hallo seems out-dated. … And then around 1:36:00 the Godzilla-trillion-tremendous question about obesity. And here one gets a splendid example of 'bad' reasoning, hip-hopping trough the 80's and 70's to the 40's and 30's 'diet' without any specific or precise historic analysis of – inter alia – eating habits of social classes, food and farming production conditions and procedures, use of artificial additives of whatever kind, more natural product replacements – stevia for sugar or transfat oil for olive oil -, … to name just 3. The poorer the more likely to be obese. The more standard American diet – overloaded with chemical stuff – the more likely to become obese. The more weed killing pesticides in mono-cultures used in the food chain, the more likely to become obese. No 'real' cause for the epidemic of obesity, 'really' ? What a laughing stock !
But, overall, interesting.
Anorexia isn't the most deadly mental illness. 25% of all Bipolar patients commit suicide. Fasting 2+ days- YOU MUST SUPPLEMENT ELECTROLYTES! Theres an increasing risk of kidney and heart failure the longer you go without them. They have 0 calories or carbs so won't stop your fast. Don't take the full daily amount at once, take several small doses or it's not safe either.
I wanna try the ketogenic diet for my depression.
I wished I could hug you so tight Dr Palmer! You are amazing and because of you I have a clearer vision of what steps to take next for my mental health and metabolic system
I’m 28 mins in. Andrew please for the love of god, stop interrupting and just let the guest speak!!!
This was the most informative video… I learned so much that I can relate to.. thank you so much..
It’s so disappointing to hear doctors talk about mental health issues and never dealing with Anger, resentment and hostility… I was depressed for over 12 years and I had a pastor mention that anger and resentment could be a cause of depression… as soon as I gave up my resentment, anger and hostility and learned to forgive… my depression and mental health issues lifted… I do believe diet is Important and when we have a clear mind we will make good health food choices… unhealthy foods changes our chemistry and can cause mental illnesses…
I just bought the book a few months ago..
Please keep your introduction short ..
20 years ago, I got rid of a 15 year struggle with epilepsy through the Atkins diet. I’m a massive believer in it for mental illness. I not only had epilepsy but was so depressed at that time, I had a nervous breakdown. Within 1 month of doing Atkins (modified, healthier version — no bacon or red meat, tons of veggies, fish, poultry, eggs, more veggies, healthy fats, unsweetened greek yogurt, etc.), I was not only seizure free, but also free of depression WITHOUT meds. I still eat extremely low carb compared to most people, although I do eat more fruit now. Anytime I start to feel blue again, I’ll pull back and implement more protein, healthy fats, and nonstarchy veggies. I haven’t touched sugar (added sugar) in the last 20 years after that experience. It really is that bad for your brain and body. Never doubt the power of food. It controls everything you do, feel, and how you show up in the world.
This was phenomenal. I've been looking for possible treatments for long term cognitive compromise from chemotherapy. Would love to find or participate in a study of keto treatment for that.
Thanks, Dr H for this interview. Chris Palmer has such an incredibly open mind in the way in thinks about causation and medicine in the smallest and biggest views possible of our internal systems. Brilliant!
Would love to have doctor explain/expand on hypomania on ketogenic diet because I think i experienced that
Brilliant. Shame about the plug for athletic greens. Eat real food.
had Dr palmer ever smoked cannabis before?
I can’t imagine that Andrew will get this message however with regards to Alzheimer’s I have three parents who suffered with serious mental decline/alzheimers and I can attest to the fact that their diets were HIGH in carbs to the point of watching them eat sweets like it was going out of style….an insatiable need for sugar (ice cream,candies, cookies etc). I have seen this over and over that these patients in particular just can’t seem to get enough sugar. I understand that the low carb diet trials are hard to do but I would rather see a Carnivore trial. My concern is the “oxylates” and “phytates and lectins” that can yet be present in a low carb diet which could skew positive results. I listen to many podcasts and I am presently on Carnivore. The results I am hearing from the Carnivore camp with regards to Alzheimers is VERY positive
I think it is called targeting justice support group, just keep on looking and you’ll find the groups that it is happening all over the world… the other names are called no touch torture though the internet with radio frequency’s being controlled by a group of individuals and again that no one can prove it because radio frequency’s are invisible
On your tv time is around at 31:00 and you talk about a disorder about a man—- well it is a true technology and it is so very real and the reason it is getting better is because the drugs that they gave him is wearing off or they are stopping to torturing him and it is called no touch torture through radio frequencies this has been going on for decades and people can’t prove it so it looks like that the person is crazy it is almost like Havana syndrome,,, there is a support group that this technology is happening to millions of people right now and again we all can’t prove it ,,, there’s no drugs that can work unless you are sedated or death,, all the doctors in the world is hard to convince about this technology and it’s happening right under every one’s nose,,, if you want more information about this real technology try to get intouch with me…
As a psych NP in community mental health the story of the fellow with schizoaffective finally having insight made me tearful it was such a powerful story.
