Diet Affects the Brain with Dr. Chris Palmer - Episode 2582 Dec 20, 2024

Show notes

Episode 2582 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Chris Palmer, and they discuss the increase in mental health disorders, how diet affects the brain, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/12/diet-affects-brain-dr-chris-palmer-episode-2582 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Diet Affects the Brain What is the state of mental health, and how did we get here? (5:00) The number of cases has skyrocketed in recent years. Do we have an idea how or when mental issues start? (16:00) How much does genetics play in mental health? Epigenetics can be a factor as well. Today, we have a chronic disease epidemic. (23:00) The rates of depression and anxiety disorders were already increasing even before the pandemic. (28:00) Other conditions like ADHD and autism have increased as well. Whatever is driving poor metabolic health is also driving poor mental health. (30:00) How do we fix this? (32:00) The first step would be to get rid of processed foods. Microplastics can be another concern. How does a medical ketogenic diet help with mental health and brain issues? (46:00) Dr. Palmer refers to a medical ketogenic diet as having a specific, high ketone level. This often requires strict monitoring and rigor, as opposed to kind of "winging it." You are more likely to get and sustain results with a rigorous approach. Taking exogenous ketone esters may be helpful for some people, but not all. (51:00) Sticking to an actual ketogenic diet is much more effective. (53:00) They discuss cholesterol and brain health. (55:00) You can find Dr. Palmer's "Brain Energy" book in Vinnie's book club. https://amzn.to/4iHYwqU You can find out more about Dr. Palmer's work at https://brainenergy.com and https://chrispalmermd.com Joining the NSNG® VIP Group is currently closed, but you can get on the waitlist by signing up at https://vinnietortorich.com/vip/ More News Don't forget to check out Serena Scott Thomas on Days Of Our Lives on the Peacock channel.

(2:00) He is a cardiologist and an expert on cholesterol and heart health. People ask Vinnie all the time about cholesterol numbers. (4:00) Unfortunately, many doctors are forced to practice "cookbook medicine" because of the standards they must follow. (6:00) LDL cholesterol is not a stand-alone marker. (13:45) The best predictor of plaque is plaque, not so much LDL. Calcium scores can help determine plaque buildup; there are different things to look for. What numbers in a calcium score are a concern? (23:00) There are multiple considerations. Can you lower your calcium score? (28:00) Dr Scher explains better markers for testing plaque buildup.

(35:30) Why is it shocking for someone to come in and say that we need to focus on health? Whatever your political background, it should be agreed upon that the health of society matters. (39:00) Big Food and the relationship to promoting things like cereals are an example. A healthier food system can save lives. John F. Kennedy, Jr. started the Presidential Physical Fitness Test for Schools in the 1960s. (41:00) Vinnie would even volunteer to get real fitness programs back into school.
