Harvard Psychiatrist: The Metabolic Root of Mental Illness | Dr. Chris Palmer

I'm going on tour! Come see The School of Greatness LIVE in person!

What if the root cause of mental health disorders isn't just in your mind, but in your metabolism? In this groundbreaking conversation, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer challenges everything we think we know about mental health treatment. Drawing from three decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge research, Dr. Palmer reveals how metabolic dysfunction is driving the unprecedented rise in conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Through compelling patient stories and scientific evidence, he demonstrates why the current paradigm of endless medication isn't working and presents a revolutionary approach that integrates physical and mental health. Most importantly, he offers hope to millions suffering from mental health conditions by showing how lifestyle changes can create real healing.
