21:02Now PlayingHarvard psychiatrist Chris Palmer explains why metabolism may be the missing link behind weight gain, mental health disorders, and brain dysfunction. Drawing from clinical practice and decades of research, he reveals how mitochondrial health influences everything from energy levels and fat storage to conditions like ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, and depression.
He breaks down why most people are metabolically unhealthy, how sugar and ultra processed foods impair mitochondria, and why traditional approaches to weight loss often fail. Chris explains how dietary interventions like ketogenic diets and fasting shift metabolism at a cellular level, improving insulin signaling, reducing inflammation, and restoring brain energy systems.
This conversation challenges the idea that metabolism is only about calories or weight. It shows how improving metabolic health can transform both physical and mental wellbeing, and why addressing the root cause matters more than treating symptoms.
Discover:
• Why metabolism affects both weight and mental health
• How mitochondrial dysfunction drives fat gain and brain issues
• The role of sugar in slowing metabolism
• Why ketogenic diets and fasting change cellular energy
• How improving metabolic health impacts focus and mood
