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?

Hala Taha 0:16
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.

Dr. Chris Palmer 1:27
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?

Hala Taha 2:09
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.
Dr. Chris Palmer 2:16
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.
Hala Taha 2:24
What would you say to the listener right now who's on antidepressants?

What is the brain energy theory?

Dr. Chris Palmer 2:28
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.
Hala Taha 2:50
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?

Hala Taha 3:04
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.
