Dr Chris Palmer is a psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, working at the interface of metabolic and mental disorders. He has been pioneering the use of the ketogenic diet as a treatment for psychiatric disorders. Dr Palmer has used the low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets in practice for over 15 years now, mostly for weight loss. Recently, he has found an anti-psychotic and mood-stabilizing effect from specific types of the ketogenic diet. Now he is pursuing clinical research in this area to better understand the topic. As a result, he is in demand as a speaker at national and international conferences on this topic. In addition, he is also consulting to patients from around the world.
