Harvard Doctor Chris Palmer Recommends Diet for Mental Disorders
Mikhaila Peterson spoke with Dr. Chris Palmer. Dr. Palmer has worked in psychiatry for over 23 years and currently serves as an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He just released a new book “Brain Energy” which outlines the role of ketogenic diets as an effective treatment for mood disorders.
