  • How brain function is closely tied to metabolic processes, and how disruptions in these processes can lead to mental health conditions.
  • The emerging theory that mental illnesses, such as depression and schizophrenia, may stem from metabolic dysfunctions in brain cells rather than just chemical imbalances.
  • Strategies for improving brain energy through lifestyle changes, diet, and targeted interventions, offering a new approach to mental health treatment.

Careers associated with this program include roles in neuroscience research, brain health coaching, and cognitive development consulting, where professionals apply insights from the summit to enhance brain function and well-being.

The 2025 event will focus on “Brain Energy: The Metabolic Theory of Mental Illness” with our featured speaker Dr. Christopher M. Palmer. Dr. Christopher M. Palmer is a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health.

Dr. Christopher M. Palmer is a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Founder and Director of the Metabolic and Mental Health Program and the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For almost 30 years, he has held administrative, educational, research, and clinical roles in psychiatry at McLean and Harvard. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders—conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. Most recently, he has proposed that mental disorders can be understood as metabolic disorders affecting the brain, which has received widespread recognition in both national and international media outlets.
