On this topic, Brain Energy by Christopher Palmer: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61129785-brain-energy https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61129785-brain-energy . Very interesting book, highest recommendation.
- perrygeo 2y agoRead it earlier this year and I agree. Also, he's all over various podcasts and youtube channels if you'd rather watch. What I got out of the book was two things: * Mitochondria are freaking cool. * The DSM is bollocks and metabolic dysfunction explains all mental illness. Despite how radical the above sounds, the evidence for it is overwhelming. The book is largely an accessible tour of the evidence. It's well cited without being too academic. And while Dr. Palmer is a prominent spokesperson for this movement, there are hundreds of other neurologists, psychiatrists and doctors on the same line.
- amy_petrik 2y agoit's a fascinating read however I believe most psychiatric disorders are traced not to the mitochondrion organelle, but rather, the midichlorians
