38 分钟Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials, where we revisit past episodes for the most potent
and actionable science-based tools for mental health, physical health, and performance.
I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
And now for my discussion with Dr. Chris Palmer.
Chris, Dr. Palmer, thank you for being here.
Thank you, Andrew, for having me.
I have a lot of questions for you, and I'm really excited about this topic because I think most people know what...
Mental illnesses or they have some idea what that is.
Most people have some idea what nutrition is.
Fewer people certainly know how closely those things can interact.
I think everybody is familiar with the feeling of a food or the ingestion
of a food making them feel good in the short term.
But I believe that very few people understand or are familiar with the fact that nutrition
and our mental health interact in this very intimate, maybe even causal way.
And that is something that occurs over long periods of time, meaning what I ate yesterday, the day before,
maybe even 10 years ago could be impacting the way that my brain and body are making me feel now.
So if you would, I'd love for you to just tell us about A little bit of the history,
in particular your history, with exploring the relationship between nutrition and mental health.
And then we can dive into some of the more particulars of ketogenic diets versus
other diets and some of the truly miraculous findings that you and others are coming up with based on.
