How The Ketogenic Diet Supports Metabolism, Cancer Therapy, And Mental Health

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, AG1, and
Paleovalley.  While the ketogenic diet is often thought of as
a diet to help people lose weight, it has a much broader
application with therapeutic benefits that help to reset metabolism
and restore mitochondrial function.  Researchers have found
that a ketogenic diet can be a potent tool in cancer treatment as
well as in neurodegenerative disorders and mental illness. In
today’s episode, I talk with Mark Sisson, Dr. Sarah Hallberg, Dr.
Christopher Palmer, and Dr. Patrick Hanaway about how a ketogenic
diet can be used as a treatment for serious health conditions. Mark
Sisson is the founder of the popular daily health blog Mark’s Daily
Apple, godfather to the Primal food and lifestyle movement, and the
New York Times bestselling author of The Keto Reset Diet. His
latest book is Keto for Life, where he discusses how he combines
the keto diet with a Primal lifestyle for optimal health and
longevity. The late Dr. Sarah Hallberg was a medical director at
Virta Health, a fellow of the Aspen Institute’s Health Innovator
Fellowship, and a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.
She was also the Medical Director and founder of the Medically
Supervised Weight Loss Program at Indiana University Health Arnett
and an adjunct professor of clinical medicine at the Indiana
University School of Medicine. Dr. Christopher Palmer is a
psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism
and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of
Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an
assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For
over 25 years, he has held leadership roles in psychiatric
education, conducted research, and worked with people who have
treatment-resistant mental illnesses. Dr. Patrick Hanaway is a
board-certified family physician and trained at Washington
University. After 10 years as Chief Medical Officer at Genova
Diagnostics, Dr. Hanaway became the Chief Medical Education Officer
for the Institute for Functional Medicine. In 2014, Dr. Hanaway was
the founding Medical Director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for
Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health,
