What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, Yap Fam, we're about to launch something that might be my favorite thing we've ever done on the podcast, a brand new series called How We Profit. Now, I've been doing Young and Profiting podcasts for eight years, and my listeners are successful.
What are the real causes of mental illness?
We are real entrepreneurs with real businesses, and a lot of you guys are crushing it behind the scenes. You may not be super famous, you may not be a billionaire yet, but you've got a business that you've learned how to scale, and we wanna hear from you. One of the best ways to learn as an entrepreneur is from your peers. And I found it super helpful to be in these peer entrepreneurship groups and learn from other entrepreneurs who are at my level, but just in a different industry. So that's what I want to bring to this podcast. I want this to be our own peer group, but on the podcast. And so I'm going to be interviewing people who are making anywhere from $500,000 to $10 million a year. They're not super famous.
They're not the typical billionaires that are on my show. These are real entrepreneurs who are crushing it behind the scenes, and we're going to uncover what they do to sell, how they get their customers, what their profit margin looks like, how they market, and so much more. If this sounds like you and you wanna be featured on Young and Profiting podcast for our How We Profit series, just head to youngandprofiting.com slash apply and share your story. Let me know why you think you should be featured on the show. Again, that's youngandprofiting.com slash apply. And who knows, maybe you'll be our next guest on Young and Profiting podcast.
In any given year, about 1 billion people on the planet will be diagnosed with a mental disorder. Western countries like the United States, the rates are higher and have been higher for decades. Dr. Chris Palmer, a leading expert in metabolic psychiatry, he helps uncover the powerful connection between metabolism, brain health, and overall wellness. 93% of Americans right now have at least one biomarker of poor metabolic health. A large study of millions of people looked at, of those who have obesity, are they at increased risk for developing a subsequent mental illness? And the answer was overwhelmingly yes.
How does metabolism shape brain health?
Something that was really surprising when I was reading your book is that when you have mental illness, it can actually shave off years of your life.
On average, men are losing 10 years of life. Women are losing seven years of life. What are they dying of? It's heart attacks and strokes.
What would you say to the listener right now who's on antidepressants?
What is the brain energy theory?
If you're taking an antidepressant and it has changed your life for the better, by all means, please keep taking it. However, 90% of people taking antidepressants, that's not the case. So if you're having any of the side effects or it didn't really fully work for your symptoms, I would strongly encourage you first and foremost, just take it.
Hey Yap fam, what if everything you've been told about mental health is only half the story? Today we're looking at mental health in a totally new lens. I'm sitting down with Dr. Chris Palmer, Harvard psychiatrist, researcher, and author of Brain Energy.
What is the impact of too much or too little brain energy?
His work is reshaping how we understand mental health, metabolism, mitochondria, and even the role a ketogenic diet may play in supporting brain health. And we'll explore all of this more deeply in the conversation. But before we dive in, if this is your kind of podcast and you haven't followed us yet, this is your friendly reminder to follow Young and Profiting Podcast on your favorite platform and subscribe to our YouTube channel. It takes two seconds and it keeps you plugged into conversations that help you level up in every aspect of life. Now, Chris, welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast.
Thank you, Hala, for having me.
I'm excited for this conversation. We talk a lot about mental health on the podcast, but you're really bringing a new perspective to the table. And you've basically spent your whole career trying to answer this one question, which is how does mental illness happen?
