We talk to Harvard professor and psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer about how mitochondrial functioning and nutrition can open up new approaches to treatment. Dr Palmer shares a compelling personal account of mental illness, homelessness, ineffective therapy, and a quest to find treatment. This led to his exciting research on dietary changes and brain functioning.
