Dr. Chris Palmer: Diet & Nutrition for Mental Health

Love the guests voice. Something about it

this dude rocks.

My faith in Jesus is greatly helping my established diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder — keep on the medication, introducing exercise more now and a better diet.

i want to try keto but every time i do it i feel shittier. im also already thin at 146 lbs 5'10. any adivce?

I just happen to have watch Dr. Robert Lustig just before this one and it was extremely rich to connect how fructose seem to cause mitochondria disfunction based on what he said and Dr. Palmer not yet (it might be that studies were publish later) being convinced that sugar (he didn't make the difference between glucose and fructose) has a causal effect on mitochondria disfunction. All your podcasts are rich in themselves, can are even more powerful when combining them. 🙏

What about the kidneys?

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.

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

had Dr palmer ever smoked cannabis before?

Would love to have doctor explain/expand on hypomania on ketogenic diet because I think i experienced that

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.

Please keep your introduction short ..

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’m 28 mins in. Andrew please for the love of god, stop interrupting and just let the guest speak!!!

I wanna try the ketogenic diet for my depression.

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.

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.

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!

Seeds and vegetable oils are killing us. Most processed foods have them. Watch Dr Bergs video entitled "The worst ingredient in the world" with Dr Chris Knobbe

Cognitive psychologists always overlook diet and nutrition ,even the king of cognitive psychology Albert Ellis claimed to cure anxiety completely but i still have not read about someone getting cbt or rebt who was completely cured of these things and cognitive psychologists advice some witchcraft like cognitive distortions etc .I hope Dr Hubermann invites some fierce critics of cognitive psychology someday . I was going through so much emotional pain during the last year and have read and applied books from cognitive psychology and also i have interacted with cognitive psychologists through email ,thanks for them to reply back but the field is a witchcraft , but there is a difference that witchcraft might still work a bit .
I really hope in the future we will have therapies which actually work instead of wasting years and years like CBT ,REBT and similar therapies and still no complete cure , it will be a good change .

Would you consider interviewing Dr. GEORGIA EDE?

These guys sneak into my room when I'm sleep and play their videos…i always wake up to them

Maybe look at Dr Peter Breggin and what he says about psch drugs.

I’m curious about the financial barriers of the individuals you treated in adapting these diet changes. Working in the mental health field I’m astonished at being able to sustain a specific diet between financial barriers, access to appropriate kitchen facilities, cooking skills, having the capacity to follow a specific diet with people who have been clinically unstable and already through numerous treatments and psychiatrists. In my experience most (not all) people in those situations have housing and other financial barriers that would just make adherence to a specific diet very very very difficult.

I worked in a small low barrier homeless shelter and we were always walking the line of healthy cooking and food people would actually eat because they were so used to highly processed convenience food. The people in the shelter often had difficulty even adapting to a home cooked meal.

This is my low-carbohydrate diet story.

In 2013, I developed acne that would not go away no matter how low in fat I ate.

In 2014, I ate a low-carbohydrate diet of eggs, chicken thighs, 85/15 ground beef, avocados, and coconut oil, and my acne went away immediately and I enjoyed the diet.

In 2019, I had my first lipid panel done and my cholesterol was extremely high and I subsequently found out I was a carrier of an ApoE4 allele and had cholesterol hyperabsorption mutations in my ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes.

So I avoided egg yolks and saturated fats and ate lean meats, egg whites, olive oil, avocados, and macadamia nuts for the next 5 years, and my cholesterol returned to normal, but everything was unpalatable and I was always in a bad mood.

Recently I decided to take a cholesterol lowering medication and to reincorporate whole eggs and meat with its fat while reducing my consumption of olive oil and macadamia nuts and my mood has improved incredibly.

I will no longer avoid egg yolks or animal fat and will rather take a cholesterol lowering medication.
