Harvard psychiatrist, Dr. Chris Palmer MD, explains that the ketogenic diet restores mitochondrial health, which is often impaired in psychiatric disorders. He theorizes that this may help explain why research suggests that dietary ketosis may provide benefit in such conditions, including anorexia nervosa.
This clip with Dr. Palmer is from our monthly live Q&A for members of The Metabolic Initiative, and the recording is now available to view. We discussed his research pioneering the use of ketogenic metabolic therapy as a potential complementary treatment for various psychiatric disorders, his Brain Energy theory on what causes mental illness, and so much more!
