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: 🧵 Image
Image
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. Image
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: Image
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. Image
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. Image
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. Image

83% of adults have lymphatic congestion and don't know it.

It's causing:

• Morning face puffiness
• Brain fog after meals
• Unexplained fatigue

Your doctor won't mention it because there's no drug to prescribe.

Here's how to restart your body's natural detox system: 🧵 Image
Image
1/ Your body has TWO circulatory systems.

Everyone knows about blood circulation.

But your lymphatic system is just as critical, moving 3 liters of fluid daily... Image
Image
2/ Here's what your lymphatic system actually does:

• Removes cellular waste and dead cells
• Transports immune cells to fight infection
• Drains excess fluid from tissues
• Absorbs dietary fats from intestines

Here's the science behind how it works:

What happens when your joints are severely inflamed?

These 8 bizarre symptoms might shock you.

You may never skip these anti-inflammatory strategies again after reading this:🧵
Your joint pain stems from a condition known as "silent inflammation."

This hidden problem damages your cartilage over time.

It makes your joints stiff and painful.

The worst part? Image
Image
Taking pills only masks your symptoms.

Meanwhile, the real damage continues to worsen.

What's happening inside your joints?

As you age, the cushion between your bones gets thinner.

Stubborn fat?
Morning brain fog?
That afternoon crash?

It's not age. It's not stress. It's your broken mitochondria.

Your cells are literally suffocating.

Here's how to fix it at the source: 🧵
First, what are mitochondria?

They're the power plants in every cell.
They turn oxygen + nutrients into ATP (cellular energy).

You have trillions of them... Image
Image
When they work = boundless energy

When they break = chronic exhaustion

The scary part?

Here's why yours are failing:

You've been lied to about muscle growth.

It's not your workout.
But your CHRONIC CORTISOL is poisoning you:

• Zero muscle growth
• Stubborn belly fat
• Constant fatigue

So, I started exploring the healing solutions...

What I discovered blew me away: 🧵 Image
Signs you're in chronic cortisol mode:

□ Wake up tired despite "sleeping"
□ Need coffee to function
□ Afternoon energy crash
□ Can't shut brain off at night
□ Stubborn belly fat
□ Poor recovery between workouts
□ Feel wired but exhausted

Sound familiar?
Here's what everyone gets backwards:

ACUTE cortisol (from training) = Good
CHRONIC cortisol (from life stress) = Gains killer

Your 60-minute workout isn't the problem.

It's the other 23 hours destroying your progress.

100,000,000 Americans consume seed oils daily.

Harvard scientists say they protect your heart.
RFK Jr. says they're poison.

One side is lying, and it's destroying your health.

Here's the evidence they don't want you to see: 🧵 Image
The seed oil debate is raging among health experts.

Some claim they're toxic, causing inflammation and disease.

Others argue there's no credible evidence of harm.

Let's explore both sides and uncover what science actually says about seed oils:
1) Understanding the controversy

Seed oils have become a lightning rod in nutrition debates.

Critics like RFK Jr. call them "one of the most unhealthy ingredients in foods."

He even sells t-shirts saying "Make frying oil tallow again."

But is this based on science or hype?

CREATINE

The magical subsance proven to boost brain power, build muscle, and slow aging.

Your grandparents got its benefits without supplements.

Here’s how to get all the benefits naturally (and avoid the fake myths): 🧵 Image
Image
Most men over 30 feel it happening:

• Energy crashes by 3 PM
• Workouts feel harder than they used to
• Mental fog during important meetings
• Recovery takes twice as long

You blame "getting older" but that's not the real problem... Image
What is creatine?

A naturally occurring substance found in muscle cells.

It helps produce ATP — your body’s main energy source during high-intensity activity. Image
