By conservative estimates, at least 88% of people have insulin resistance, which significantly impacts brain health and the brain’s ability to produce energy. In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of the latest research on brain health, the critical role of mitochondria in maintaining optimal brain function, and how insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction can disrupt mitochondria, leading to poor brain health.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we have a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with guests on how inflammation affects both metabolic and brain health. Dr. Georgia Ede explains why oxidative stress and insulin resistance have surged with the rise of refined carbohydrates and seed oils. Dr. Chris Palmer shares the latest research on how mitochondria influence neurotransmitter production, hormone regulation, and gene expression—and what can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. Hannah Warren discusses her journey to overcome mental illness by applying Dr. Palmer’s Brain Energy theory and using ketosis to rejuvenate mitochondria.
