Guest bio: Dr. Christopher M. Palmer is a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For over 25 years, he has held administrative, educational, research, and clinical roles in psychiatry at Harvard. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders-conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. Most recently, he has developed the first comprehensive theory of what causes mental illness, integrating existing theories and research into one unifying theory-the brain energy theory of mental illness.

“Brain Energy” and Dr. Palmer’s work has changed my life. I am a nutritionist, counselor and life-long sufferer of severe depression, C-PTSD and anxiety (with panic disorder). I happened upon one of his first podcasts talking about the book in early December 2022. Immediately downloaded the audio book and binge listened. LIFE CHANGING! I started a therapeutic keto diet the next day.
This is the ONLY time in my adult life that I have truly felt hopeful and not depressed!!! Dr. Palmer putting these puzzle pieces together and sharing it with the world is miraculous! This book should be read immediately but not only those who suffer from mental illness but anyone suffering from chronic disease. The link with inflammation/ chronic disease/ mental illness and metabolic disorder is just a no-brainer after reading the book!!! The lights come on! May this book and this info get into the hands of everyone.
Thank you for an incredible interview! Bringing this life-changing info to the forefront.
Thank you for your comment! We're so glad you found him and it worked for you!
I am the one who suffers only, you are all liars, no one has the right to complain but me
how can a depressed anxious traumatized counselor help clients?
Brilliant man who talks about mental illness in such a relatable realistic and grounding way that sure takes me back to my college years and what happened and with whom and why. Fascinating to piece all the issues together and to know that someone is looking out for this population of people that far to often are forgotten about or told are insignificant as daily occurrences. That being said we need better treatments than just diet. Cleaning up diet is great and OK but we need better mitocondrial treatments that target these core issues in schizophrenia, bipolar and addictive disorders
A Brilliant, humble physician! Thankyou for this Interview!
Getting the person on board to drastically changing their diet is a HUGE monumental challenge. In the fight right now.
He's right my psychiatrist told me many times I need to take the meds "for the foreseeable future" which basically means forever.
Also, I have never heard of your movie until today! Just watched the trailer and heading to watch the movie. Thank you so much (again) for exposing this travesty! I cannot wait to see your movie! The work you are doing has and will save lives!!
Oh my God! This movie. How many people have seen this? How have a missed this? It is incredible. Thank you for bringing this info to light. Just watched through Amazon Prime and sending coffee your way. Unbelievable yet so very believable bc it has been my own experience with psych drugs. Bless you for this movie and podcast!
@@heathersmith6177 Thank you for your interest in our film and for your kind words of feedback. Please do share our film with others!
Two to five years is probably for life when you are 83 years old. I am tapering from 30+ years of 1 my of Klonopin. I've been keto for 1 year and down to .25 mg K. Having very bad w/d symptoms not leveling off. How long should I keep going down on this med or should I just stop. I've actually had w/d for over 8 years not knowing that this drug was the cause. Though I brought this up to my doctors they told me I was just getting older and should go to the gym. Do I have enough time to and will I ever get over this?
0.25mg of Klonopin is equivalent to 5mg Valium. That's way too big of a dose to stop. Most people continue to much smaller doses before stopping their taper. Everyone's timelines for tapering and healing are different - it's simply not predictable from one person to the next. So very sorry for your suffering.
Well the good news is ketosis feels good so it's not bad to keep doing it.
After decades on a WFPB vegan diet, I finally had to admit that it was not optimizing my health.
Now, 2 years after adopting a ketogenic, then carnivore diet, my health is better than it has been in over 50 years. Perfect lab results, better energy, I've added muscle (an accomplishment at 70) and I absolutely feel better than I can remember.
The list of symptoms I no longer have is long.
I wish more doctors would learn about this way of eating and all if the benefits.
Hi, what is WFPB? Thanks!
@@MedicatingNormal Whole Food Plant Based
@@MedicatingNormal whole food plant based...the current fad diet
Thank you for this very commonsense approach to health!...Commonsense has long been an uncommon phenomena...in the alliopathic field.
The audio is very low on this, I have it all the way up and its still so hard to hear.
Could it be possible that you interviewed in the future Peter Roger Breggin?
sure! We will add him to the list. Anything specific you'd like to hear about from him?
@@MedicatingNormal Thanks. I'd like to hear him talking about psychiatry current state, about its problems, hope of change and his own humane views of treating people.
@@Gonzo-GT ok! We'll invite him on - stay tuned!
@@MedicatingNormal Many thanks.
@@MedicatingNormal Also, I'd like to hear his opinions about psychiatric diagnosis and the medical model of mental health overall.
He's also right it comes right back in a couple days of screwing it up.
Hi i need help! I been on zoloft for 16 years. I get extreme anxiety when I get off, it lasted 2 months 24/7 for me however afterwards I got anhedonia depersonalisation and cognitive decline, I also can't look at words , think too hard , or looked things with details such as pictures tv or even driving with out my frontal lobe feeling like its burning. Its 10 months now and I can't work nor go out (I caught covid recently and it made it 10x worse). I started to get tremors in my whole body too.
Is this normal ? Am I out of withdraeal but something else came back ? (Mri came back normal ... )
How do I get better ? What support can I have ? Drs telling me drugs out of your system in 2 weeks you would be fine.
Hi, Unfortunately, the withdrawal symptoms you describe are typical. They can persist for many months and even years in some people.
There are various support groups and forums that exist online - many on Facebook, another is survivingantidepressants.org.
Sadly, many doctors do not understand withdrawal and will say ignorant things like, "it's out of your system," as was said to you. This is commonly reported by patients who are enduring these withdrawal syndromes.
You can also check out the Resources section on our website - perhaps there is something there that can help you : medicatingnormal.com/resources
How can I email Christopher Palmer myself?
His website has info: www.chrispalmermd.com/clinicians-doctors-coach-dietitian/ (says he's not taking new patients or consultations)
With no science backing his claims this seems no more than advertising for the fad diet.
I want to believe but I also want to avoid being scammed again by mental health.
Best wishes.
You might want to get his book w/ all of the source data before saying “no science.”
There is a surprising amount of research supporting the efficacy of a ketogenic diet for improving physical and mental health. You just haven't read it.
@@MedicatingNormal
I was referring to what is on the video, in good faith, but it seems that healthy skepticism is not welcome lately on the videos.
Best wishes.
To disinguish between saying there is "no science to back his claims", to then disclaiming that you meant there was no science shown in this podcast,are two very different
statments. Best wishes.
@@gailkoelmeyer7650 Also he doesn't mention if there are any negative issues, long term issues, downsides, etc.
This video is a very bad advertising for his new book.
After all I have endured and now know I tend to be very wary of any "psychiatrist".
Many sell many diets as miraculous, do we have to blindly believe them?
Best wishes.
