Brain Energy: The Metabolism-Mind Connection

Discover the revolutionary connection between brain metabolism and mental health with Dr. Christopher Palmer, founder of MH². Drawing from cutting-edge research at the intersection of psychiatry and metabolic science, Dr. Palmer reveals how optimizing brain energy through targeted interventions can transform cognitive performance, mood regulation, and long-term neurological health. This groundbreaking session explores practical strategies for biohackers and longevity enthusiasts to harness metabolic pathways for enhanced mental clarity, resilience, and sustainable brain optimization.

The brain consumes 20% of our body's energy despite representing only 2% of our body weight—yet the critical relationship between brain metabolism and mental performance remains one of medicine's most overlooked frontiers. Dr. Christopher Palmer, founder of MH² and pioneer in metabolic psychiatry, presents revolutionary insights into how optimizing brain energy can unlock unprecedented levels of cognitive performance and mental resilience.

Dr. Palmer will explore the metabolic underpinnings of brain function, revealing how mitochondrial health, glucose utilization, and ketone metabolism directly influence neurotransmitter production, synaptic plasticity, and neuroinflammation. Attendees will discover evidence-based interventions including targeted nutrition protocols, metabolic flexibility training, and novel therapeutic approaches that address mental health through the lens of cellular energy production. The session covers practical applications of ketogenic interventions, intermittent fasting, and metabolic biomarkers for optimizing brain performance.
