Chris Palmer is a bloody legend!! He has opened the floodgates of hope and been brave and risked greatly and given others permission to follow. Kudus Chris Palmer! Youve broken the mold that needed breaking.
My son at 3 had a viral infection that caused 6 days of 104-105 fevers. Following that the next 2-4 weeks he started and had increasing stuttering. Then over another 6-7 weeks speech went very garbled into loss of speech. Over the next 2-3 months lost all behavioral development. Dx was “severe Autism”. First Covid exposure brought on wild aggression, anxiety, OCD. Then second Covid increased aggression, anxiety and OCD, plus first break mania and absence seizures. He is 9-1/2 yo and no psychiatrist are really willing to work with him. We are as a family going full keto to try and help him in anyway we can. Love Dr Palmer’s work!! ❤
Thank you both, Tim Ferris❤ & Chris Palmer❤ After seeing this podcast, I went on a low-carb diet, doing moderate amount of cardio and weight training. Lost 111 pounds (weight gained from antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, klonopin, et al). Treatment-resistant major depression and anxiety. Now huge mood elevation euphoria serenity sparkling clarity confidence energy connection to all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Chris - you're a super star! My diet changed my life! My diet is 95% whole foods. It is a sustainable lifestyle for me because it's all about quality of life. My mind is clear and I'm feeling so good now, thanks to you. Here's to The Greater Good❣️❣️❣️❣️
I cannot express how much Chris Palmer telling his story about his mother and his going to live with her means to me. This was incredibly brave, powerful, and giving. His honesty and truth is vital and healing. One of the hardest parts of caretaking at any age in such a situation is the loneliness while going through it.
my brother is a paranoid schizophrenic with bipolar disorder, he hears things and occasionally sees things that are not there. he was diagnosed over 25 years ago, its completely ruined hes life, he can't take care of himself, no self esteem, he's getting very overweight, depressed and has lost all hope, I see the pain in my moms eyes knowing she can't do anything for him. I'm experimenting with the carnivore diet on myself and seeing great results, in a few weeks I'll try get my brother to go on the diet, thank u for giving us hope 🙏
Many believe he would benefit a great deal. So many mental illnesses are reversed/healed by a carnivore diet. Please keep us posted about your brother. All the best to you and your family.
I believe mental illness is a spiritual thing in most cases (attachments) and if you think about it spirituality is a belief and belief comes from thoughts (subconscious) and thoughts are energy and everything is energy so if you eat a carnivore diet it grounds you so it grounds the energy of someone who is tapped into the realms of the unseen... so people need to be treated spiritually as well. My mom was dx with PS. She had a demon attachment because I did a healing on her and whatever was attached to her left her and attacked me. I grew fearful and depressed and had thoughts that were not my own but quickly I knew what it was, and I was able to get rid of it through energetic frequency. Love, Christ and if it's not Christ it's whatever you believe in of the highest form, God, Absolute Source. That energy is so high that if you meet that energy, mentally and emotionally, no lower energies can affect you. This is only one part of it and this is how I was able to rid myself of depression and putting myself in my mother's shoes and knowing what she was going through. The fact is how do you treat someone who is disturbed severely and I think this man is changing the way mental illness should be treated and we need that, and in the title he talks about energy and I totally agree with that. It's like someone who's hallucinating they're psyche is all over the place it needs to be grounded. However when one can ground themselves and focus on their own thought process and their own emotions and direct their focus into a higher frequency, the less and less they would need a carnivore diet. When my mom would get into a paranoid expression I experimented with prayer and or affirmations. You cannot say a prayer and it'll be done and over with you have to become it you have to become what you're saying. I am an extension of God, absolute source is within me outside of me above me below me. My mom would be totally normal but then she would forget and it would come back so getting them to really understand the true spiritual self, it's so important it's not religion it's actually quantum physics. Diet has a lot to do with it because it's energy so a carnivore diet could also do harm because it's low energy plants are high energy....
@@chrisvdd000 Most people have tried prayer, meditation, support groups, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, medications, gratitude journaling and anything else they could try to ease their mental illness. Some of those things can definitely have a positive effect, but until we saw food as our medicine and a fundamental part of both our physical and mental health, we stayed stuck and in emotional pain. The carnivore diet has produced results like nothing else. Look up the stories of people like @BrettLloyd (The Happy Carnivore) and also those who had severe schizophrenic symptoms/psychosis, etc. and you´ll see why diet is crucial in treating any and all mental illnesses. Plants are not ¨high energy¨, nor is meat ¨low energy¨. The carnivore diet is a species-appropriate diet for humans.
I truly really hope that you all read the book “I am no sick. I don’t need help” by Dr. Xavier Amador. It has changed the life of many many patients and family. RUclips it. He also has a TEDx talk. You must read it if you want to help your brother! 🙏🏻
I hate the psychiatric profession with vigor, long experience both personal and vicarious but Chris Palmer you are totally and utterly a complete hero and inspiration to me. Your compassion and broad thinking shines through in the most amazing way I could ever imagine coming across
Praise the Lord for the internet, and for all people who generously share vital information that address people's needs. I usually run to the internet to search for answers to any problem I have - be it about health, spirituality, cooking and even such a trivial question as to whether I can mix turmeric with tea. Thank you so much, Tom and Dr. Palmer, for all the extremely valuable information you shared in this podcast and in the others that you made. Yes, I could feel the passion you have for the work that you do. May your tribe increase. God bless you.
man i couldn't stop crying when he started talking about his mother... seeing my dad lose his mind slowly was so devastating as I was the only child that tried to take care of him.
I´m so sorry to hear this. I can very much relate. My dad was never the same after my abusive and neglectful mother left us all for another man/men. He went from being a hard-working, energetic tea-drinker to a deeply depressed alcoholic in and out of psychiatric wards, who only ever wanted a happy family life and nothing more. I loved him, but once he passed away in late 2000, I was almost relieved for him. Take good care of yourself and be well. 💞
@@Terri_2.0 Thank you for sharing your story I feel for your father, I hope he is resting in peace and will watch over you always. I hope you be well and stay strong too for our future generations!
I shared my story on BipolarCast on YT. I've been keto for four and a half years for bipolar. I have not had any episodes nor needed any medications ever since. Red meat is a huge part of staying stable and combatting brain fog for me. I'm just not sharp on any other type of protein. So excited to see Dr Palmer here!!
I am struggling with cooking for keto. What is a normal day of eating for you?. I find it easier to follow carnivore diet and stick to 5 different foods
I realized this phenomena years ago when I went on the Atkins diet without the bacon or cheeses! My brain cleared, my energy soared, and pounds melted off. My sister has dealt with schizoid affect, paranoia, ocd... for decades... She's been hospitalized for decades... I need to find out how to get her facility to change her diet... I finally was able to the court to make me her medical guardian. Your video echoes what I've known for years... I will look for your website to connect. Thank you for sharing this!
Good for you Linda I hope you can help your sister My sister's the same as yours (decades in and out of the mental hospital MANY meds over the years that have destroyed her physically, mentally etc) I think my sister is past the point of no return but I'll try to help her with this diet too IF they let me (my mother's her legal guardian and very close minded )
Friend of mine who has paranoid schizophrenia was homeless December 2018 when it was -3 degrees. I said he could stay till he was housed etc but no drugs or alchahol. He didnt leave the house. I cooked full english breakfasts and meat and veg evening meals. No bread and cakes in the house. He became calm and after a few weeks i asked about his voices his reply ‘there so quiet i can hardly hear them’. He was not on meds yet……… getting back into the nhs was a long process.
WOW! My life's story sounds very similar to Dr. Palmers mom. I won't go into all the details of the 15 years of my life and everything and everyone literally were just gone, through death, utter lack of ability to cope and the feeling of abandonment. I will explain that not only have I had every drug combination in the Dr's. arsenal, but Electric shock therapy for years, Magnetic therapy, cognitive , physical, speech, cognitive therapy, almost ever hospital in the state of AZ. NOT to mention living on the streets, someone's garage or relying on CL for rooms to rent because I wasn't capable of taking care of myself, while my family completely abused me because they didn't have the capabilities of being nurturing and encouraging. They are just as sick IMO. I've been told I need to write a book by numerous psychiatrists and came across this Utubers conversation with a author and here u r. Thank you so much for sharing and all u do for others and I truly pray that everyone that hears this will give story and knowledge validity.
Dr. Palmer…I feel like I have lived your mother’s life. Her story makes me feel less alone. Thank you so much for sharing it and for your hard work in treating people with mental disorders. I feel like there is hope for me. ❤
Very sorry to hear your response. His mom’s story is very heartbreaking. And very similar to my sisters. But you have the strength to explore these kind of informative talks. Keep the hope & strength to heal. You are very not alone. Your success to heal can be a Beacon of light to others too.
I just finished reading the book ‘ Brain Energy’. Interesting and inspiring. However, watching this and other video interviews with Dr Palmer has made the book content so much more credible for me. (1) The very moving story of his mother offers context and (2) his own metabolic issues during his 20’s. It makes the material so much more relatable and spurs me on to follow so my beloved son can benefit.
I love Tim's change in content from optimizing life to investigating life's deeper issues like trauma, depression, relationship issues etc. Episodes like this one with Dr. Palmer make The Tim Ferriss Show the most important podcast in my life, maybe one of the most important resources on all things life, honestly. I didn't get much guidance when I was young, so I turn to podcasts by Tim and Rogan, books by Dr. Gabor Maté and Terrence Real for that.
Lost me at Rogan lol, but I agree. Such valuable information. Dr. Gabor Mate is a blessing to this world. Check out the Wisdom of Trauma movie about him if you haven’t seen it. Excellent!
@@moniquemichelle7295 haha i get it. Rogan is controversial. I def don't agree with everything he says (then again, who does?). Nowadays I only watch the JRE very rarely. Most guests aren't interesting to me. Though he has some of the best podcast interviews ever: first Huberman JRE ep, first Attia, Matthew Walker, first Sam Harris ep, Jewel (complete mindfuck of life she lived), first few Rhonda Patrick eps, Megan Phelps-Roper. Re Maté: Agreed 100%. I read all his books and watched Wisdom of Trauma. Invaluable input.
How do you keep from being overwhelmed and confused by all this information? Being our own advocates? Trust providers of medical treatment? Thanks Tim Ferris for this introduction. I'll keep learning.
I just "ran across" Dr. Palmer this week. I thank him for his story of his mother. It seemed to me that it was so painful for Dr. Palmer to speak about it...I cried just listening to the injustice suffered by his mother. Thank you both for this presentation.
Ditto, Tim, ditto. 35 year veteran of MICU nursing, now working with a few fall-through-the-cracks folks in the community of course with no health insurance. Dr. Palmer's book does bring a lot of important stuff into one book. I'm starting to see a three pronged approach to treatment. Entheogens for certain behavioral and addictive diagnosis, properly applied ketogenic diet and liberal mentoring to get folks to a better place. I truly wish we had treatment modalities in place to turn to for those who do not have health insurance. Learned helpless and habituation are difficult to break through, you gotta be there 24/7 over the long haul to keep things going in the right direction, and give folks hope, and that means you end up caring a great deal. Treatments are coming, but not fast enough for me seeing the suffering on the daily.
Bless you for giving many of us hope. I have suffered greatly along with my 25 y told Son. I sleep crying praying for his healing. You have today giving us lost hope. Thank you so much to both of you 😊
I'm bipolar 1 and I was 40 when I was diagnosed after losing my job, friends, family and everything but my son. Turned 43 last week and I've been on every medication with 2 that were ok but I broke out in Stevens-johnson rash and the rest were horrible. I started searching on my own for alternative treatments cause those pills kill me as a person leaving me as a shell. I was just starting minerals and vitamins, eating better, exercise and I seen a huge difference. Now thanks to Andrew Huberman I know about Chris and know that there is hope. I survived an attempt in '21 and with all I can remember is breathing under water the attempt itself doesn't scare me it's the next day, midday realizing that I did survive. Having that moment changed everything in me. I want to be here and make a difference.
When I go Keto, going back to my first run with the Atkins in the 90s, I feel superhuman. Just like you both mentioned, I sleep 3-4 hours per night, my memory & cognition are magnitudes better, and my strength and endurance are better. Conversely, even moderate carbs send my energy, emotions, cognition, and memory into a negative tailspin. *I also get very sensitive to light, sound, temperature, and stress. Thank you both so, so much for this fantastic talk. 🏆
My experience with the doctors throughout my life is that I'm wrong and wasting their time by complaining about the thing that hurts, or I'm worried about this lump. The idea of asking a doctor to read something so we can discuss treatment options is so alien to me.
Thank you Dr Palmer for you genuine testimony. I so admire you for being such a good son and person. you are telling TRUTH which we are so hungry for. We are so tired of BS. Thank you so much
Great interview! I’m an hour in and no ads. Are all your interviews like this? Dr. Palmer is the best! Thank you so much for having him on the show. Very interesting!
Great interview. Appreciate Dr. Palmer speaking openly about his mother’s experience & how it’s impacted his life’s work. Mental illnesses are eminently treatable. Dr. Palmer discusses how interventions that heal metabolic dysfunction can be a real breakthrough. Thank you!
I am reading Brain Energy now. This interview is a great addition. Hearing his backstory makes Dr. Palmer even more admirable. The idea of looking for a common cause for all mental illness is quite radical esp when you realize psychiatry really does model the allopathic model: identify the abnormal symptom, treat it, make the person well.
One of THE greatest most useful AND informative videos on RUclips. I usually can’t learn too much from RUclips videos because interviews are so surface and shallow but this felt like a lesson, it’s a must for me to listen to it again. Thank you Tim Ferris for taking the time to ask thoughtful questions and thank you to Chris Palmer for answering them just as thoughtfully. There is a huge disconnect in what doctors know and how it is explained to us. But this was wonderful!
Does anyone have any links to the studies he mentions in the video that he suggests showing psychiatrists when asking them to help with keto stuff? I thought links would be in the video description or something but they’re not.
Just wanted to voice my thanks for Dr. Palmer's strength to tell the story of his mother. This personal backstory was the final kick I needed to try this diet based approach after 30 years of trying everything else to battle major depression. I was running desperately low on hope for any relief in the future. Thank you for your courage and vulnerability. I now have faith this could work.
Hundreds of bipolar patients reporting remission or significant reduction of symptoms on ketogenic diet. Extensive video review of this on my channel. Dr. Palmer is a true pioneer and will catalyse a historic change the way we conceptualise and treat serious mental illness.
I’m here today because I had to help a family member get to the hospital for her safety!! 😭 I literally completed a functional nutrition training and I am determined to help her change her lifestyle and take ownership of her self care … the gut brain connection is real. Deficiencies matter and play a huge role. Lord help us find the best protocol needed .. thank you for having this conversation and addressing a huge crisis that not only affects the individual but their family, friends and life. Sorry about your mothers challenges I hope you find comfort in sharing her story to help others and have her pain not be in vain. God bless 🙌🏼
I believe Dr. Palmer's work to be critical. I've listened to a handful of interviews of his, and bravo Tim, the best one by far. Speaks to your interviewing and listening skills. A huge thank you to the both of you! I'm inching myself towards a keto diet after years of struggling with ocd which has found myself pretty much on house arrest for over a decade. I've gotten to a gluten free diet, which alone has given me so much mental clarity. It seems obvious that your mitochondira need to be functioning correctly. Thank you so much again!!
I went to a neurologist regarding my nocturnal seizures. I told her I did not want to take drugs and I mentioned the ketogenic diet. She said she didn't want to be my doctor if I didn't take antiseizure meds. She didn't have any trouble sending me a bill though.
Does anyone have any links to the studies he mentions in the video that he suggests showing psychiatrists when asking them to help with keto stuff? I thought links would be in the video description or something but they’re not.
I went to a neurologist for my memory issues. He kept making me bring family member one time to interview her, and the man I have been in a relationship for a few years, and then a whole slew of blood work and he has never called me to have a follow up from all the stuff he wanted. He also ordered a brain scan which i canceled the appointment. I am doing much better after putting myself on a diabetic diet, got a new job and walk 5-7 miles a day. I still feel not right but it’s much more manageable to be working outside and walking all day, working with people I really enjoy being with and being outside 80% of my work day. It’s crazy how doctors really want to find prescriptions to put us on to “fix” our health issues instead of looking for natural remedies like changing your diet, work environment or exercising more 😢
Catching up on any all all Doc Palmer’s video interviews. As he doesn’t have his own YT channel (can’t find one) I just want to express a wholehearted thank you and shout out of appreciation to him. I’d hug him if I could. What a compassionate contribution of wisdom born of true pain. Thank you Dr. Chris Palmer, and thank you Tim Ferris for another compelling interview ✌🏽🫶🏽🖖🏽
This is absolutely one of your most profound episodes. And one of your most profound and engaging and, dare I say, IMPORTANT guests. Thank your much for bringing this work to your show. It will help many many people. It will help me to help myself. Starting now.
i feel for your past pain doc palmer. your sensitivity and empathy is visible evidence of your humanity - a capacity that is rapidly being deliberately eroded in our world today. peace be upon you. 🙏
wow. you still got thru med school. my cen / c-ptsd utterly destroyed my education through perfectionism, ocd and depression. a life's possibilities lost. 🙏
Love the straight jacket analogy! It's true. We are ignoring why the cell is hyper-excitable in the first place. I often think of it like it's panicking! It doesn't have enough energy or micronutrient or macronutrient cofactors for basic function or upkeep.
Such a very sad personal story. It is so heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing and God bless you. You should be very proud of the work you are doing to help inform us and save us from losing hope!❤
Thank you Tim for bringing this content / conversation to us. Dr. Palmer; thank you for sharing your story and the work you do. Respectfully. Stephanie
I guess I'm very late to the party with Tim Ferriss, but I think this is the most intelligent and thoughtful interviewer I have ever seen on RUclips. His questions for the doctor and understanding of the subject blow away some actual medical doctors who have interviewed Dr. Chris Palmer.
Holy crap. Amazing podcast. I am a therapist and for years I've been trying to put into words what Tim said with the school analogy... I have always felt that there's an underlying connective factor... My only hang up is how the eating disorder recovery community might take in this information...they have made/perhaps have had to make such a swing to one extreme of "there is no such thing as a bad food" in order to get people actually eating again so I wonder about this... And I think of some of my clients who could benefit from this content, but knowing that either their eating disorder could get kicked up or the recovery that they've made will "argue" with it... Something to think about for me.
To frame the food conversation differently, there are no bad carnivore foods. Your patients can eat these foods ad libitum, which is relative food freedom and will ultimately be self-limiting. The information that could be forthcoming from an elimination diet that is both physiologically and mentally curative would likely be startling for both patient and practitioner. It is certainly a no-harm-done approach.
Eating keto provides relief to those of us suffering from mental illness. It is heart breaking to watch others suffer and have a cure and be ignored as a fad diet or have doctors worry because of high cholesterol. My life was misrable before now it is not. Quality of life matters.
I have heard several personal anecdotal stories of people who have recovered from eating disorders by eating carnivore, after decades of illness and various inpatient programs. Seems like keto/Carnivore can be truly healing for the brain and body.
What a great podcast!! I started keto a few months ago for gut health and felt better mentally almost immediately. I'm also interested in keto with respect to alzheimer's disease. I did find a keto supermarket sweet snack that I have fallen in love with, and I laughed when you brought that up, but otherwise I prepare everything I eat myself. Thank you for this! I will listen to it again and again ❤️
I love this. I love this soo deeply you can’t even imagine. Chris’ life story. How he pulled out of it. And now helping the rest of the world. And the way he’s doing it. Beyond gratitude. Is there such a thing? One up from gratitude? Wonder what it might be, one up from gratitude, lol. If you know, post it here please. 😉😘 I feel it. But what is it?
His mother s story sounds like so many of us some. trauma does horrendous things to our brains and the courts and divorce is not just. Mental health is something I personally have been seeking for years to get no help. It is nothing more then a joke. I appreciate the work of this young man.
Incredibly important conversation thank you. I work with clients that has schizophrenia and because of lack of understanding around this illness there’s so many stereotypes about the client base that I truly love.
So EXCITING, that chronic disorders are finally being looked at as to CAUSE, rather than symptoms! Metabolic dysfunction causes symptoms across the board, BOTH mental & physical. But because our medical system has created distinct specialties with distinct medication protocols it necessarily ONLY TREATS SYMPTOMS (never finding cause.) Billions upon billions is spent treating symptoms short term. The body/mind is HOLISTIC. And must be treated as such for any progress to be made. Mitochondrial function (or dysfunction) is key & likely to be the causative agent in many if not most, chronic disease. Thanks for connecting the dots Chris Palmer! This is exciting & welcome news adding one more important piece to the human puzzle of health!
I've been recently thinking about the limitations of diagnosing people via the DSM. Every disorder lies on a continuum and overlaps each other. And labeling with a disorder can lead one to feel less agency and being a slave to their disorder with little solutions
Thank you so much for these informative and educational interviews. I have seen many interviews with Dr. Palmer, and all of them are great and really helpful, but so far this is THE BEST one. Tim Ferriss you have excellent interviewing skills that helps us (the audience) learn and understand the most important main points in a very organized way. Also, thank you very much Dr. Palmer for your research and for bringing hope to many people including me :)
Surprised you didn't get into your work with psychedelics and mental disorders but this is a fascinating conversation. Hope you can have Chris on for part two. (For example to discuss optimal range of blood bhb)
I started making cocoa with only Hershey's cocoa powder, boiling water, heavy cream, and a bit of salt. Not very sweet but very palatable and doesn't break my fast.
What about anorexia and the impact of mental restriction? See also Alia Crum’s studies on the impact of beliefs on ghrelin responses. A ketogenic diet, is restrictive not only in terms of macronutrients but also socially and culturally. These have key psychological and physiological long term impacts. Long term effective treatment for anorexia is not only about sustaining a weight above a BMI threshold, but also addressing the fear response of food and weight gain causing to autonomic and compulsive behaviour patterns.
Very interesting topic. Thank you Tim Ferris and Dr. Palmer for diving into the realm of metabolic psychiatry. Dealing with depression I've been doing the ketogenic diet now around a week and a half. Unfortunately last night I consumed too many carb snacks resulting in a negative ketostix test this morning. So for the first time in 1.5 weeks I am out of ketosis - does anyone know how much of an impact cheating once in a while has when it comes to the therapeutic effect of the ketogenic diet on psychiatric disorders (such a major depression)?
Wow, love Doris's story of her schizophrenia going into remission on a ketogenic diet! I don't do instagram or twitter, so will go to his website. Thank you!!! Both of you!
Thank you Tim for this fabulous podcast & Dr Palmer. I ordered his book and the audiobook. The information is so important and presented in a logical & user friendly manner.
On Ketogenic Diet for 3 Years now. Depression came back, but without this paranoid touch. But had to start again with Fluoxetine. Will stick to the diet.
Thank you for this great important podcast .. Chris Palmer .. respect . We can learn so much about the new insights in the psychiatric world . We need No DSM . WorldTaperingDay 🙏
I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and im on lithium, epilim and olanzipine. I started the keto diet in July due to weight gain from the meds. I then researched the keto diet and came accross your work. I purchased and read your book. My dr does not seem to agree that the diet can have an affect on my condition despite me feeling 100 times better.
Theory: what if ketosis evolutionarily is better suited to sporatic/periodical timing, i.e. 5 days in ketosis, 10 days not in ketosis, cycling on and off so that the system is never subjected to long-term consistency of metabolic damage caused from high glucose diet, rather then being in ketosis long term, because I did it for 6 months, and eventually my strength and sleep was compromised, but the mood and mental clarity was amazing.

Okay but why are chapters your pet peeve?
Not an absolutist but, Levels is much needed. Athletic Greens? Not so much.
Blood Ketones are more accurate snapshot it time. ❤
No greens, just butter thanks!!! The brain needs animal fat not greens!! Greens contain anti nutrients … Dr Anthony Chaffee RUclips
Tim look at Peter Rogers MD he has some very interesting information on mitochondria and their function and there dysfunction !!!
Chris Palmer is a bloody legend!! He has opened the floodgates of hope and been brave and risked greatly and given others permission to follow. Kudus Chris Palmer! Youve broken the mold that needed breaking.
My son at 3 had a viral infection that caused 6 days of 104-105 fevers. Following that the next 2-4 weeks he started and had increasing stuttering. Then over another 6-7 weeks speech went very garbled into loss of speech. Over the next 2-3 months lost all behavioral development. Dx was “severe Autism”. First Covid exposure brought on wild aggression, anxiety, OCD. Then second Covid increased aggression, anxiety and OCD, plus first break mania and absence seizures. He is 9-1/2 yo and no psychiatrist are really willing to work with him. We are as a family going full keto to try and help him in anyway we can. Love Dr Palmer’s work!! ❤
Please keep us updated with his progress. I'm sure your son will see improvements
Hoping your son is doing much better a year on🤍
Would you please tell how is your son nowadays. Please.
Try looking into Broccoli sprouts for autism as well
Thank you both,
Tim Ferris❤ & Chris Palmer❤
After seeing this podcast, I went on a low-carb diet, doing moderate amount of cardio and weight training.
Lost 111 pounds (weight gained from antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, klonopin, et al).
Treatment-resistant major depression and anxiety.
Now huge mood elevation euphoria serenity sparkling clarity confidence energy connection to all.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Chris - you're a super star!
My diet changed my life!
My diet is 95% whole foods.
It is a sustainable lifestyle for me because it's all about quality of life.
My mind is clear and I'm feeling so good now, thanks to you.
Here's to The Greater Good❣️❣️❣️❣️
Susan, I'm just a random internet person stopping by to say that I am very happy for you and wish you continued good health!
I cannot express how much Chris Palmer telling his story about his mother and his going to live with her means to me. This was incredibly brave, powerful, and giving. His honesty and truth is vital and healing. One of the hardest parts of caretaking at any age in such a situation is the loneliness while going through it.
my brother is a paranoid schizophrenic with bipolar disorder, he hears things and occasionally sees things that are not there. he was diagnosed over 25 years ago, its completely ruined hes life, he can't take care of himself, no self esteem, he's getting very overweight, depressed and has lost all hope, I see the pain in my moms eyes knowing she can't do anything for him. I'm experimenting with the carnivore diet on myself and seeing great results, in a few weeks I'll try get my brother to go on the diet, thank u for giving us hope 🙏
Many believe he would benefit a great deal. So many mental illnesses are reversed/healed by a carnivore diet. Please keep us posted about your brother. All the best to you and your family.
You are going to save your brothers life.
I believe mental illness is a spiritual thing in most cases (attachments) and if you think about it spirituality is a belief and belief comes from thoughts (subconscious) and thoughts are energy and everything is energy so if you eat a carnivore diet it grounds you so it grounds the energy of someone who is tapped into the realms of the unseen... so people need to be treated spiritually as well. My mom was dx with PS. She had a demon attachment because I did a healing on her and whatever was attached to her left her and attacked me. I grew fearful and depressed and had thoughts that were not my own but quickly I knew what it was, and I was able to get rid of it through energetic frequency. Love, Christ and if it's not Christ it's whatever you believe in of the highest form, God, Absolute Source. That energy is so high that if you meet that energy, mentally and emotionally, no lower energies can affect you. This is only one part of it and this is how I was able to rid myself of depression and putting myself in my mother's shoes and knowing what she was going through. The fact is how do you treat someone who is disturbed severely and I think this man is changing the way mental illness should be treated and we need that, and in the title he talks about energy and I totally agree with that. It's like someone who's hallucinating they're psyche is all over the place it needs to be grounded. However when one can ground themselves and focus on their own thought process and their own emotions and direct their focus into a higher frequency, the less and less they would need a carnivore diet. When my mom would get into a paranoid expression I experimented with prayer and or affirmations. You cannot say a prayer and it'll be done and over with you have to become it you have to become what you're saying. I am an extension of God, absolute source is within me outside of me above me below me. My mom would be totally normal but then she would forget and it would come back so getting them to really understand the true spiritual self, it's so important it's not religion it's actually quantum physics. Diet has a lot to do with it because it's energy so a carnivore diet could also do harm because it's low energy plants are high energy....
@@chrisvdd000 Most people have tried prayer, meditation, support groups, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, medications, gratitude journaling and anything else they could try to ease their mental illness. Some of those things can definitely have a positive effect, but until we saw food as our medicine and a fundamental part of both our physical and mental health, we stayed stuck and in emotional pain. The carnivore diet has produced results like nothing else. Look up the stories of people like @BrettLloyd (The Happy Carnivore) and also those who had severe schizophrenic symptoms/psychosis, etc. and you´ll see why diet is crucial in treating any and all mental illnesses. Plants are not ¨high energy¨, nor is meat ¨low energy¨. The carnivore diet is a species-appropriate diet for humans.
I truly really hope that you all read the book “I am no sick. I don’t need help” by Dr. Xavier Amador. It has changed the life of many many patients and family. RUclips it. He also has a TEDx talk. You must read it if you want to help your brother! 🙏🏻
Thank you Tim for treating his story about his mother with such compassion and care.
I also love a good story too
I hate the psychiatric profession with vigor, long experience both personal and vicarious but Chris Palmer you are totally and utterly a complete hero and inspiration to me. Your compassion and broad thinking shines through in the most amazing way I could ever imagine coming across
They have taught me nothing about diet and brain health. All they do is push meds😢
Praise the Lord for the internet, and for all people who generously share vital information that address people's needs. I usually run to the internet to search for answers to any problem I have - be it about health, spirituality, cooking and even such a trivial question as to whether I can mix turmeric with tea.
Thank you so much, Tom and Dr. Palmer, for all the extremely valuable information you shared in this podcast and in the others that you made. Yes, I could feel the passion you have for the work that you do. May your tribe increase. God bless you.
man i couldn't stop crying when he started talking about his mother... seeing my dad lose his mind slowly was so devastating as I was the only child that tried to take care of him.
So sorry to hear. You sound like a really good son.
I´m so sorry to hear this. I can very much relate. My dad was never the same after my abusive and neglectful mother left us all for another man/men. He went from being a hard-working, energetic tea-drinker to a deeply depressed alcoholic in and out of psychiatric wards, who only ever wanted a happy family life and nothing more. I loved him, but once he passed away in late 2000, I was almost relieved for him. Take good care of yourself and be well. 💞
@@Terri_2.0 Thank you for sharing your story I feel for your father, I hope he is resting in peace and will watch over you always. I hope you be well and stay strong too for our future generations!
Me too!
I also cried to So touching
I shared my story on BipolarCast on YT. I've been keto for four and a half years for bipolar. I have not had any episodes nor needed any medications ever since. Red meat is a huge part of staying stable and combatting brain fog for me. I'm just not sharp on any other type of protein. So excited to see Dr Palmer here!!
That is fascinating. So glad you found healing
That's amazing congratulations!
I am struggling with cooking for keto. What is a normal day of eating for you?. I find it easier to follow carnivore diet and stick to 5 different foods
I realized this phenomena years ago when I went on the Atkins diet without the bacon or cheeses! My brain cleared, my energy soared, and pounds melted off. My sister has dealt with schizoid affect, paranoia, ocd... for decades... She's been hospitalized for decades... I need to find out how to get her facility to change her diet... I finally was able to the court to make me her medical guardian. Your video echoes what I've known for years... I will look for your website to connect. Thank you for sharing this!
Good for you Linda I hope you can help your sister My sister's the same as yours (decades in and out of the mental hospital MANY meds over the years that have destroyed her physically, mentally etc) I think my sister is past the point of no return but I'll try to help her with this diet too IF they let me (my mother's her legal guardian and very close minded )
Friend of mine who has paranoid schizophrenia was homeless December 2018 when it was -3 degrees.
I said he could stay till he was housed etc but no drugs or alchahol. He didnt leave the house. I cooked full english breakfasts and meat and veg evening meals. No bread and cakes in the house. He became calm and after a few weeks i asked about his voices his reply ‘there so quiet i can hardly hear them’. He was not on meds yet……… getting back into the nhs was a long process.
💞What a generous and compassionate thing you did for your friend. 🥰
Loved hearing the story about Doris. So glad she got relief from her distressing symptoms and lived happily for those 15 years.
Strong lady! She did 👍
Thank you Dr. Palmer for sharing the story about your mother. ❤
WOW! My life's story sounds very similar to Dr. Palmers mom. I won't go into all the details of the 15 years of my life and everything and everyone literally were just gone, through death, utter lack of ability to cope and the feeling of abandonment. I will explain that not only have I had every drug combination in the Dr's. arsenal, but Electric shock therapy for years, Magnetic therapy, cognitive , physical, speech, cognitive therapy, almost ever hospital in the state of AZ. NOT to mention living on the streets, someone's garage or relying on CL for rooms to rent because I wasn't capable of taking care of myself, while my family completely abused me because they didn't have the capabilities of being nurturing and encouraging. They are just as sick IMO. I've been told I need to write a book by numerous psychiatrists and came across this Utubers conversation with a author and here u r. Thank you so much for sharing and all u do for others and I truly pray that everyone that hears this will give story and knowledge validity.
Dr. Palmer…I feel like I have lived your mother’s life. Her story makes me feel less alone. Thank you so much for sharing it and for your hard work in treating people with mental disorders. I feel like there is hope for me. ❤
Very sorry to hear your response. His mom’s story is very heartbreaking. And very similar to my sisters.
But you have the strength to explore these kind of informative talks. Keep the hope & strength to heal. You are very not alone. Your success to heal can be a Beacon of light to others too.
💞
I just finished reading the book ‘ Brain Energy’. Interesting and inspiring. However, watching this and other video interviews with Dr Palmer has made the book content so much more credible for me. (1) The very moving story of his mother offers context and (2) his own metabolic issues during his 20’s. It makes the material so much more relatable and spurs me on to follow so my beloved son can benefit.
Me too
I love Tim's change in content from optimizing life to investigating life's deeper issues like trauma, depression, relationship issues etc. Episodes like this one with Dr. Palmer make The Tim Ferriss Show the most important podcast in my life, maybe one of the most important resources on all things life, honestly. I didn't get much guidance when I was young, so I turn to podcasts by Tim and Rogan, books by Dr. Gabor Maté and Terrence Real for that.
Couldn’t agree more. This man and his interviews practically raised me. Best mentorship and guidance I could’ve asked for.
agree.
Lost me at Rogan lol, but I agree. Such valuable information. Dr. Gabor Mate is a blessing to this world. Check out the Wisdom of Trauma movie about him if you haven’t seen it. Excellent!
@@moniquemichelle7295 haha i get it. Rogan is controversial. I def don't agree with everything he says (then again, who does?). Nowadays I only watch the JRE very rarely. Most guests aren't interesting to me. Though he has some of the best podcast interviews ever: first Huberman JRE ep, first Attia, Matthew Walker, first Sam Harris ep, Jewel (complete mindfuck of life she lived), first few Rhonda Patrick eps, Megan Phelps-Roper. Re Maté: Agreed 100%. I read all his books and watched Wisdom of Trauma. Invaluable input.
How do you keep from being overwhelmed and confused by all this information? Being our own advocates? Trust providers of medical treatment?
Thanks Tim Ferris for this introduction. I'll keep learning.
Chris Palmer shared his motivation for helping people. I am sure his mom is at peace now.
This person seems like hes an amazing human being... truly
I am sure he is amazing.
I just "ran across" Dr. Palmer this week. I thank him for his story of his mother. It seemed to me that it was so painful for Dr. Palmer to speak about it...I cried just listening to the injustice suffered by his mother. Thank you both for this presentation.
Ditto, Tim, ditto. 35 year veteran of MICU nursing, now working with a few fall-through-the-cracks folks in the community of course with no health insurance. Dr. Palmer's book does bring a lot of important stuff into one book. I'm starting to see a three pronged approach to treatment. Entheogens for certain behavioral and addictive diagnosis, properly applied ketogenic diet and liberal mentoring to get folks to a better place. I truly wish we had treatment modalities in place to turn to for those who do not have health insurance. Learned helpless and habituation are difficult to break through, you gotta be there 24/7 over the long haul to keep things going in the right direction, and give folks hope, and that means you end up caring a great deal. Treatments are coming, but not fast enough for me seeing the suffering on the daily.
Bless you for giving many of us hope. I have suffered greatly along with my 25 y told Son. I sleep crying praying for his healing. You have today giving us lost hope. Thank you so much to both of you 😊
I'm bipolar 1 and I was 40 when I was diagnosed after losing my job, friends, family and everything but my son. Turned 43 last week and I've been on every medication with 2 that were ok but I broke out in Stevens-johnson rash and the rest were horrible. I started searching on my own for alternative treatments cause those pills kill me as a person leaving me as a shell. I was just starting minerals and vitamins, eating better, exercise and I seen a huge difference. Now thanks to Andrew Huberman I know about Chris and know that there is hope. I survived an attempt in '21 and with all I can remember is breathing under water the attempt itself doesn't scare me it's the next day, midday realizing that I did survive. Having that moment changed everything in me. I want to be here and make a difference.
Stay strong! Eating less than 20 grams of carbs a day keeps me in ketosis and stable. Best regards
When I go Keto, going back to my first run with the Atkins in the 90s, I feel superhuman. Just like you both mentioned, I sleep 3-4 hours per night, my memory & cognition are magnitudes better, and my strength and endurance are better.
Conversely, even moderate carbs send my energy, emotions, cognition, and memory into a negative tailspin. *I also get very sensitive to light, sound, temperature, and stress.
Thank you both so, so much for this fantastic talk. 🏆
I can relate!
You should definitely be sleeping more than 3-4 hours, that will wreck your health.
I have been following Dr. Palmer for just a few days and ordered his book. Crying listening to him talk about his mom.
Only in 13 minutes and WOW! powerful!! And, Tim is a master podcast host and at choosing his words wisely!! Thanks Tim and Chris for sharing this!
Dr. Palmer is an angel. He is changing the world. Thank you for having him on your program.
My experience with the doctors throughout my life is that I'm wrong and wasting their time by complaining about the thing that hurts, or I'm worried about this lump. The idea of asking a doctor to read something so we can discuss treatment options is so alien to me.
Thank you Dr Palmer for you genuine testimony. I so admire you for being such a good son and person. you are telling TRUTH which we are so hungry for. We are so tired of BS. Thank you so much
Great interview! I’m an hour in and no ads. Are all your interviews like this? Dr. Palmer is the best! Thank you so much for having him on the show. Very interesting!
Great interview. Appreciate Dr. Palmer speaking openly about his mother’s experience & how it’s impacted his life’s work. Mental illnesses are eminently treatable. Dr. Palmer discusses how interventions that heal metabolic dysfunction can be a real breakthrough. Thank you!
Outstanding offering. TYSM. Dr Palmer is going to impact so many lives. I will have Dr Palmer's new book in my library.
How did you get it so early?
I am reading Brain Energy now. This interview is a great addition. Hearing his backstory makes Dr. Palmer even more admirable. The idea of looking for a common cause for all mental illness is quite radical esp when you realize psychiatry really does model the allopathic model: identify the abnormal symptom, treat it, make the person well.
One of THE greatest most useful AND informative videos on RUclips. I usually can’t learn too much from RUclips videos because interviews are so surface and shallow but this felt like a lesson, it’s a must for me to listen to it again. Thank you Tim Ferris for taking the time to ask thoughtful questions and thank you to Chris Palmer for answering them just as thoughtfully. There is a huge disconnect in what doctors know and how it is explained to us. But this was wonderful!
Does anyone have any links to the studies he mentions in the video that he suggests showing psychiatrists when asking them to help with keto stuff? I thought links would be in the video description or something but they’re not.
Just wanted to voice my thanks for Dr. Palmer's strength to tell the story of his mother. This personal backstory was the final kick I needed to try this diet based approach after 30 years of trying everything else to battle major depression. I was running desperately low on hope for any relief in the future. Thank you for your courage and vulnerability. I now have faith this could work.
Eric, I have the same story to tell. Have you started this diet yet? Noticed any difference, if you have?
@@leapingjoseph8462 carnivore would probably work. Tons of people who were depressed and are now on carnivore and there depression is gone
Hundreds of bipolar patients reporting remission or significant reduction of symptoms on ketogenic diet.
Extensive video review of this on my channel.
Dr. Palmer is a true pioneer and will catalyse a historic change the way we conceptualise and treat serious mental illness.
I’m here today because I had to help a family member get to the hospital for her safety!! 😭 I literally completed a functional nutrition training and I am determined to help her change her lifestyle and take ownership of her self care … the gut brain connection is real. Deficiencies matter and play a huge role.
Lord help us find the best protocol needed .. thank you for having this conversation and addressing a huge crisis that not only affects the individual but their family, friends and life.
Sorry about your mothers challenges I hope you find comfort in sharing her story to help others and have her pain not be in vain. God bless 🙌🏼
God bless Dr Palmer! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I believe Dr. Palmer's work to be critical. I've listened to a handful of interviews of his, and bravo Tim, the best one by far. Speaks to your interviewing and listening skills. A huge thank you to the both of you! I'm inching myself towards a keto diet after years of struggling with ocd which has found myself pretty much on house arrest for over a decade. I've gotten to a gluten free diet, which alone has given me so much mental clarity. It seems obvious that your mitochondira need to be functioning correctly. Thank you so much again!!
Me, too.
Your guest made me consider my mother and her incredible evil and cruelty to me, her eldest, with some degree of almost compassion. First time ever.
I went to a neurologist regarding my nocturnal seizures. I told her I did not want to take drugs and I mentioned the ketogenic diet. She said she didn't want to be my doctor if I didn't take antiseizure meds. She didn't have any trouble sending me a bill though.
Does anyone have any links to the studies he mentions in the video that he suggests showing psychiatrists when asking them to help with keto stuff? I thought links would be in the video description or something but they’re not.
Did you end up trying the keto diet?
I went to a neurologist for my memory issues. He kept making me bring family member one time to interview her, and the man I have been in a relationship for a few years, and then a whole slew of blood work and he has never called me to have a follow up from all the stuff he wanted. He also ordered a brain scan which i canceled the appointment. I am doing much better after putting myself on a diabetic diet, got a new job and walk 5-7 miles a day. I still feel not right but it’s much more manageable to be working outside and walking all day, working with people I really enjoy being with and being outside 80% of my work day. It’s crazy how doctors really want to find prescriptions to put us on to “fix” our health issues instead of looking for natural remedies like changing your diet, work environment or exercising more 😢
@aymi6393 maybe get his book, or, even better for studies is Dr. Rachel Brown's book " Metabolic Madness "
Catching up on any all all Doc Palmer’s video interviews. As he doesn’t have his own YT channel (can’t find one) I just want to express a wholehearted thank you and shout out of appreciation to him. I’d hug him if I could. What a compassionate contribution of wisdom born of true pain. Thank you Dr. Chris Palmer, and thank you Tim Ferris for another compelling interview ✌🏽🫶🏽🖖🏽
This is absolutely one of your most profound episodes. And one of your most profound and engaging and, dare I say, IMPORTANT guests. Thank your much for bringing this work to your show. It will help many many people. It will help me to help myself. Starting now.
i feel for your past pain doc palmer. your sensitivity and empathy is visible evidence of your humanity - a capacity that is rapidly being deliberately eroded in our world today. peace be upon you. 🙏
wow. you still got thru med school. my cen / c-ptsd utterly destroyed my education through perfectionism, ocd and depression. a life's possibilities lost. 🙏
Love the straight jacket analogy! It's true. We are ignoring why the cell is hyper-excitable in the first place. I often think of it like it's panicking! It doesn't have enough energy or micronutrient or macronutrient cofactors for basic function or upkeep.
Such a very sad personal story. It is so heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing and God bless you. You should be very proud of the work you are doing to help inform us and save us from losing hope!❤
Thank you Tim for bringing this content / conversation to us. Dr. Palmer; thank you for sharing your story and the work you do. Respectfully. Stephanie

Been meaning to listen Dr Palmer at length and I love Tim Ferris's analytical and critical thinking perspective, so I had to listen.
I guess I'm very late to the party with Tim Ferriss, but I think this is the most intelligent and thoughtful interviewer I have ever seen on RUclips. His questions for the doctor and understanding of the subject blow away some actual medical doctors who have interviewed Dr. Chris Palmer.
@@insertmyidentityhere I guess you're the one who doesn't understand the subject matter 🤷♀️
Thank you Tim for having a Great Guest
Thank you for this Tim! Dr. Palmer is at the fore front of ab Mental Health Revolution. God Bless you Both!
Finding this video is like finding pirate treasure. I cherish every word of this conversation.
Mr Ferriss, thank you.
Mr Chris, thank you for sharing this. As painful this is, thank you. Your courage increases mine.
Holy crap. Amazing podcast. I am a therapist and for years I've been trying to put into words what Tim said with the school analogy... I have always felt that there's an underlying connective factor... My only hang up is how the eating disorder recovery community might take in this information...they have made/perhaps have had to make such a swing to one extreme of "there is no such thing as a bad food" in order to get people actually eating again so I wonder about this... And I think of some of my clients who could benefit from this content, but knowing that either their eating disorder could get kicked up or the recovery that they've made will "argue" with it... Something to think about for me.
My daughter is in recovery from anorexia and she believes there are “no bad foods.” I’m terrified for her future. 😢
To frame the food conversation differently, there are no bad carnivore foods. Your patients can eat these foods ad libitum, which is relative food freedom and will ultimately be self-limiting. The information that could be forthcoming from an elimination diet that is both physiologically and mentally curative would likely be startling for both patient and practitioner. It is certainly a no-harm-done approach.
Eating keto provides relief to those of us suffering from mental illness. It is heart breaking to watch others suffer and have a cure and be ignored as a fad diet or have doctors worry because of high cholesterol. My life was misrable before now it is not. Quality of life matters.
I have heard several personal anecdotal stories of people who have recovered from eating disorders by eating carnivore, after decades of illness and various inpatient programs. Seems like keto/Carnivore can be truly healing for the brain and body.
@@2old4allthis no
What a great podcast!! I started keto a few months ago for gut health and felt better mentally almost immediately. I'm also interested in keto with respect to alzheimer's disease. I did find a keto supermarket sweet snack that I have fallen in love with, and I laughed when you brought that up, but otherwise I prepare everything I eat myself. Thank you for this! I will listen to it again and again ❤️
I love this. I love this soo deeply you can’t even imagine. Chris’ life story. How he pulled out of it. And now helping the rest of the world. And the way he’s doing it. Beyond gratitude. Is there such a thing? One up from gratitude? Wonder what it might be, one up from gratitude, lol. If you know, post it here please. 😉😘 I feel it. But what is it?
Thank you both for your courage to speak the Truth about the role of diet and fasting on mental health.
BRAVO!!!
Thank you Dr.Palmer for sharing. You are saving lives!!!❤
Thank you Tim for your great content 🎉.
You are both so well spoken. Thank you for this life changing information!
Thank you for sharing this. I love both of your transparency and openness with your past and using it to help others. Thank you.
Chris is just brilliant !
His mother s story sounds like so many of us some. trauma does horrendous things to our brains and the courts and divorce is not just. Mental health is something I personally have been seeking for years to get no help. It is nothing more then a joke. I appreciate the work of this young man.
This is a great podcast. Thank you Tom and Dr. Palmer. It is really important that we "need to be our own health advocate."
Tim Ferriss is the best interviewer IMO
Thanks Tim for holding a space for this unexpected topic. Chris Palmer is a beautiful human and he deserves to publicly be given some sort of award
Great episode, and amazing words in the end about kindness and compassion!
Huge Tim and Dr Palmer’s work.
Thank you both for this wondering episode!
Incredibly important conversation thank you. I work with clients that has schizophrenia and because of lack of understanding around this illness there’s so many stereotypes about the client base that I truly love.
Thank you Tim for posting this excellent podcast. You’re doing amazing work. Thank you!!!❤❤❤
So EXCITING, that chronic disorders are finally being looked at as to CAUSE, rather than symptoms! Metabolic dysfunction causes symptoms across the board, BOTH mental & physical. But because our medical system has created distinct specialties with distinct medication protocols it necessarily ONLY TREATS SYMPTOMS (never finding cause.) Billions upon billions is spent treating symptoms short term. The body/mind is HOLISTIC. And must be treated as such for any progress to be made. Mitochondrial function (or dysfunction) is key & likely to be the causative agent in many if not most, chronic disease. Thanks for connecting the dots Chris Palmer! This is exciting & welcome news adding one more important piece to the human puzzle of health!
Thanks Tim. It’s amazing you put out top notch content day after day. Doing gods work
I've been recently thinking about the limitations of diagnosing people via the DSM. Every disorder lies on a continuum and overlaps each other. And labeling with a disorder can lead one to feel less agency and being a slave to their disorder with little solutions
Good job, Captain Obvious…
This Dr Chris Is a Genuis
Thank you very much for this video /interview. ❤️
I love his interview so much too.
Howie, we are lifting your brother up in prayer for his recovery health, freedom, and deliverance, in the name of Jesus.
Thank you so much for these informative and educational interviews. I have seen many interviews with Dr. Palmer, and all of them are great and really helpful, but so far this is THE BEST one. Tim Ferriss you have excellent interviewing skills that helps us (the audience) learn and understand the most important main points in a very organized way. Also, thank you very much Dr. Palmer for your research and for bringing hope to many people including me :)
Love hearing from Dr Palmer.
Surprised you didn't get into your work with psychedelics and mental disorders but this is a fascinating conversation. Hope you can have Chris on for part two. (For example to discuss optimal range of blood bhb)
I started making cocoa with only Hershey's cocoa powder, boiling water, heavy cream, and a bit of salt. Not very sweet but very palatable and doesn't break my fast.
What about anorexia and the impact of mental restriction? See also Alia Crum’s studies on the impact of beliefs on ghrelin responses.
A ketogenic diet, is restrictive not only in terms of macronutrients but also socially and culturally. These have key psychological and physiological long term impacts.
Long term effective treatment for anorexia is not only about sustaining a weight above a BMI threshold, but also addressing the fear response of food and weight gain causing to autonomic and compulsive behaviour patterns.
Very interesting topic. Thank you Tim Ferris and Dr. Palmer for diving into the realm of metabolic psychiatry.
Dealing with depression I've been doing the ketogenic diet now around a week and a half. Unfortunately last night I consumed too many carb snacks resulting in a negative ketostix test this morning. So for the first time in 1.5 weeks I am out of ketosis - does anyone know how much of an impact cheating once in a while has when it comes to the therapeutic effect of the ketogenic diet on psychiatric disorders (such a major depression)?
Just get back on the bus. You'll probably notice greater anxiety and negative mood for 1-3 days however
Wow, love Doris's story of her schizophrenia going into remission on a ketogenic diet! I don't do instagram or twitter, so will go to his website. Thank you!!! Both of you!
This was great! Thank you so much to both of you for sharing this information!
This was excellent, thank you so much for the amazing people you bring to the podcast each time
You are both amazing. Thank you so much for your knowledge and expertise.
Thank you Tim for this fabulous podcast & Dr Palmer. I ordered his book and the audiobook. The information is so important and presented in a logical & user friendly manner.
Thankyou Doris.
On Ketogenic Diet for 3 Years now. Depression came back, but without this paranoid touch. But had to start again with Fluoxetine. Will stick to the diet.
maybe Carnivore will work better for you.
Thank you for this great important podcast .. Chris Palmer .. respect . We can learn so much about the new insights in the psychiatric world . We need No DSM . WorldTaperingDay 🙏
Thank you Tim for your honesty, kindness and sharing such great content
Wow!! what powerful, genuine and inspirational story. thanks so much for such a wonderful educational podcast:)
I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 and im on lithium, epilim and olanzipine. I started the keto diet in July due to weight gain from the meds. I then researched the keto diet and came accross your work. I purchased and read your book. My dr does not seem to agree that the diet can have an affect on my condition despite me feeling 100 times better.
Some conversations could only take place in America. Love to hear Chris Palmer interviewed by non-US interviewer
I love this man , big respect to him xXx
Brilliant. Please interview Dr Olivia Lesslar!
Have you tried shilajit Tim? Great for brain function and mental health. Lajit Gold Himalayan shilajit is my favorite. Love the show!
Did not expect this talk to be so informative.
Thank you for validating that metformin I was taking 2000 MG a day for inslan residence pre diabetic
Theory: what if ketosis evolutionarily is better suited to sporatic/periodical timing, i.e. 5 days in ketosis, 10 days not in ketosis, cycling on and off so that the system is never subjected to long-term consistency of metabolic damage caused from high glucose diet, rather then being in ketosis long term, because I did it for 6 months, and eventually my strength and sleep was compromised, but the mood and mental clarity was amazing.
