I usually talk about the 4 pillars of health which I focus on most - diet, sleep, a form of exercise, and sun/outdoors. Josh has been studying what I'm calling the 5th pillar which is the mind/body/spirit stuff that includes stress, breathing, emotional intelligence, etc. I had a great time recording this with him at his home in Austin.

Richard Perkins is a worldwide leader in the regenerative agriculture space, an author, educator, and farmer. He lives in Sweden with his family on a holistically managed and integrated farm producing a variety of animal and plant foods for his family and community. His practices have taught him how humans must have provided food for themselves for the lion's share of history. From his decades of experience combined with the scientific literature and other accounts around the world, it's apparent they were eating locally & seasonally and relying on nose to tail animal nutrition for the majority of their calories.

In this episode, I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Chris Palmer who uses diet and lifestyle changes to improve the lives of people suffering from mental and metabolic illness. As you'll learn in the show, there is a metabolic component of many mental health conditions.   Dr. Palmer has been exploring dietary changes, like the ketogenic diet, as treatment for conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. He shares some amazing and inspiring stories that need to be shared with the world if we want to see meaningful changes to our medical system!   Dr. Palmer has been involved in psychiatric research for over 23 years. He received his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine. He did his internship and psychiatry residency at McLean Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. He is currently the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.   He has been pioneering the use of the ketogenic diet as a treatment for psychiatric disorders. This is an evidence-based treatment for epilepsy, and epilepsy treatments are commonly used in psychiatry. Additionally, the ketogenic diet has profound effects on brain metabolism that may correct some of the metabolic abnormalities often found in people with mental disorders. He is working with researchers from around the world to assess the effectiveness of this treatment in real people and better understand its mechanisms of action.   Check out his website! - https://www.chrispalmermd.com   DISCLAIMER: The opinions and information provided here by Dr. Chris Palmer and Brian Sanders are not to be taken as medical advice.     SHOW NOTES [3:30] The ketogenic diet and alcoholism [10:30] The ketogenic diet is an evidence-based treatment for epilepsy [13:40] Dr. Chris Palmer's background and personal story [21:40] Why diet works when other treatments fail [26:40] Long-standing psychiatric symptoms resolving with Keto [33:10] Metabolic flexibility and mental health [37:00] Why there's no one-size-fits-all diet [40:40] What happens when patients return to their old habits?

Today's episode features a farmer from Norway named Raymund. Raymund is truly a hero because he hosted Dr. Gunhild A. Stordalen at his farm where he educated her on the benefits that animal agriculture can have on our ecosystem. Dr. Gunhild A. Stordalen is a very well known environmental activist and the founder of EAT which recommends a mere 14 grams of red meat per day as part of a "Planetary Health Diet."   As you'll learn in this episode, Raymund convinced her that meat and animal agriculture are a sustainable and essential part of our food system. Throughout this episode, we discuss many of the problems with our modern food system. In fact, Raymund runs a decentralized food system in Norway called REKO which connects farmers directly to customers. We are hoping to bring something similar to Texas and eventually all over the United States.   Learn more at https://www.sovereignhumans.org     SHOW NOTES: [6:15] How Raymund knows Gunhild Stordalen of EAT Lancet [10:30] Meat is required for a healthy diet and planet [15:00] What Raymund told Gunhild Stordalen [20:35] Problems with the Planetary Diet [26:40] How consumerism is wasteful [30:20] Why big corporations hate a decentralized food system [37:00] Our changing food & spending habits [40:00] The industrial farming of salmon [43:50] Why raising pigs is so difficult [47:00] How Raymond built a sustainable farm [53:30] Why you should spend more on food and less elsewhere [56:30] Everyone needs their own farmer, not their own doctor [1:01:20] How cities destroyed our food system [1:06:30] Our modern food system is a failed experiment [1:12:45] Vote with your dollar by eating local   GET THE MEAT! http://NosetoTail.org  GET THE FREE SAPIEN FOOD GUIDE! http://Sapien.org    Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg  http://instagram.com/food.lies  http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg
