PODCAST: Metabolic Psychiatry: Is this the Mental Health Revolution we’ve been praying for?
Dr Christopher Palmer is a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism. Metabolism is a term that is used to describe the chemical reactions that take place within the body’s cells. The body gets the energy it… and mental health. He is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the Founder and Director of the Metabolic and Mental Health Program and Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education, both at Harvard and at the McLean Hospital. He is author of the best-selling book, Brain Energy, in which he argues that mental disorders are metabolic disorders impacting the brain and is leading the way to a paradigm shift in psychiatry towards new ways of understanding and treating mental health.
