What if symptoms of bipolar disorder are the result of metabolic dysfunction involving our mitochondria? According to the metabolic and mitochondrial hypothesis of bipolar disorder, metabolic interventions like nutritional ketosis (aka ketogenic diet) have the potential to transform outcomes of people living with mental illness.

Dr. Chris Palmer is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and world-renowned expert in metabolic psychiatry. He has published numerous papers in prestigious medical journals about the use of ketogenic diets in mental illness therapy. His book, Brain Energy, details a novel underlying hypothesis of the mechanism of mental illness that promises to revolutionize psychiatric care.

This video was recorded at the first ever Metabolic Psychiatry roadmap retreat, hosted by Baszucki Group and the Milken Institute for Strategic Philanthropy in May, 2022 in Santa Barbara. The conference brought together physicians, neuroscientists, dieticians, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and philanthropists to build community in the emerging field of Metabolic Psychiatry.
