This is Dr. Chris Palmer.
He's a Harvard psychiatrist who spent 25 years studying mental health.
His message? Depression isn't a mental illness... it's damaged mitochondria.
This flips everything you've been told about energy and brain health: 🧵
For decades, we've been told:
- Fatigue = sleep more
- Brain fog = "just aging"
- Anxiety = manage stress
- Depression = chemical imbalance
Palmer proved this backwards.
The real cause? Your brain cells are literally starving for energy.
Palmer's research revealed something shocking:
Mental health patients had damaged mitochondria.
When he fixed their cellular energy...
Their "incurable" conditions vanished.
No more SSRIs. No more therapy.
Just cellular repair.
Think about it:
Your brain uses 20% of your body's energy.
If your mitochondria are broken, your brain suffers first:
• Can't clear toxins
• Can't maintain focus
• Can't regulate mood
• Can't produce neurotransmitters
Pills can't fix broken power plants.
"But how do mitochondria break?"
Modern life is designed to destroy them:
• Poor sleep (prevents repair)
• Processed foods (toxic to cellular DNA)
• Chronic stress (floods cells with cortisol)
• Medications (many damage mitochondria)
4 easy steps to repair yours today:
Step 1: Switch your fuel source
Your brain runs better on ketones than glucose.
Palmer uses therapeutic ketosis:
- Stabilizes energy
- Reduces inflammation
- Feeds starving neurons
- Repairs mitochondria
Even 1-2 days makes a difference.
Step 2: Target cellular repair
While you fast, flood your cells with what they need.
This 10-in-1 formula covers all bases:
✓ Shilajit for mitochondrial function
✓ Ashwagandha for cortisol balance
✓ Tongkat for hormone optimization

Step 3: Maximize oxygen delivery
Broken mitochondria can't use oxygen efficiently.
You need to boost circulation + nitric oxide.
Palmer found cardiovascular support critical for brain energy.
Your brain cells are screaming for oxygen.
Step 4: Activate deep repair mode
Mitochondria regenerate during deep sleep.
But here's the catch:
Broken mitochondria = broken sleep
Broken sleep = broken mitochondria
You must break this cycle.
Palmer emphasized sleep as non-negotiable.
The bottom line:
Mental health IS metabolic health.
Fix your mitochondria = fix your mind.
Palmer proved what ancient medicine knew:
The body heals itself when you give it what it needs.
Stop treating symptoms.
Start feeding cells.
If you're tired of:
- Morning exhaustion
- Afternoon crashes
- Brain fog
- Mood swings
- Anxiety
Your mitochondria are calling for help.
This is exactly what @FitFastCoach saw with his best clients.
They come to me thinking they need willpower and discipline...
But they really need cellular repair.
When your mitochondria work, everything else follows—energy, fat loss, mental clarity.
