🔬 @chrispalmermd shares a bit about his research for “Brain Energy.”
“I was able to call upon decades of neuroscience research to start to understand what the ketogenic diet is doing to the brain.”
“It changes neurotransmitter systems, decreases brain inflammation, changes calcium signaling in the brain, changes gene expression, and changes the gut microbiome.”
“It does all sorts of things that we in psychiatry actually know are highly relevant in people with serious mental illness. As I started doing more and more research on the use of the ketogenic diet for epilepsy and neurological disorders. All of the pieces of the puzzle were beginning to fit together.”
💻 On mitochondria
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells. But, using an analogy with computers, Dr. Palmer says they are really more like the motherboard rather than the power cord.
Mitochondria allocate and distribute resources throughout the cell and the human body.
They play powerful roles in neurotransmitter regulation and the production and regulation of critical hormones, including cortisol, sex hormones, etc. And mitochondria sense glucose levels.
When mitochondrial dysfunction occurs, it has direct impact on the brain.

"They" want us just sick enough, just weak enough, and just dumb enough to be good servants and consumers but always dependent on "them" and easy to control. "They" are succeeding brilliantly.
You are fabulous for bringing attention to the relationship between food and brain health. I heard you speak at low carb USA, have read your book (absolutely terrific -everyone should read), and listen to you on YouTube. You’re spot on! Please keep doing what you do.
Other mental health issues can be helped with nutrition! 😌 TY
Finally good question, insulin resistance & calcification, etc. We are what we eat they said, Im afraid its correct. No nutritions, sugar that sugar this, steroids becoming standard for social mysticism on Instagram, and my favourite pollution from diesel engines dioxins
I love this doc
"fud" keeping the populations enslaved to those who deem themselves superior hierarchy authority elites narcissistic sociopaths psychos for generations. OBEY!!
Thank you for making this statement.
Thank you for your commitment to finding solutions for all of the people suffering from MI.
Yes yes yes and yes.
Food is mood people!
Tube search– keto diet brain function and mental health metabolic mind
If a high carb diet is part of the problem, should then there not be higher issues in mal nutritional societies, despite they being slim? What about populations who get kept alive by feeding programs, which is mainly rice & beans. Is half starving preventing them from mental disorders? And if, why? Or are there actually more ( undiagnosed) mental disorders?
low grade depression tied to Bipolar Disorder, bipolar disorder tied with Alcohol use disorder tied with ADHD, tied with anorexia in the long run and for some rare people tied to schizophrenia which is similar to Alzheimers.
Also now everyone is struggling with longCOVID to a degree…so
This guy is doing God's work.
