Palmer's thesis is the most important reframing of psychiatry in a generation: if metabolic disease, neurodegenerative disease, and most major mental illnesses share mitochondrial dysfunction at their core, then interventions that improve mitochondrial function — ketogenic diets, exercise, sleep, sunlight, fasting — should affect all three. The clinical case studies on ketogenic therapy for schizophrenia and bipolar are striking.
