We’re in a global mental-health crisis. People are more depressed, anxious, addicted, and isolated than ever.
There are treatments - medication, therapy, recovery programs - and they work. But not all of the time and not for everyone.
Part of the problem, says Dr. Christopher Palmer - Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School - is that the origin of mental illness is still largely a medical mystery.
But Palmer doesn’t think so.
“What I'm here to say is we are, in fact, missing the elephant in the room,” he says. “Because mental metabolic problems have been identified in the brains and bodies of people with mental illness for over a century.”
In a talk given at the CrossFit for Health Summit on Feb. 3, 2024, in Austin, Texas, Palmer presents the case for mental illness as metabolic illness, advocating for an integrated approach to mental-health treatment in which CrossFit could play a pivotal role.
“The CrossFit prescription can be a legitimate biological metabolic brain intervention for people with real mental illness,” Palmer says.

Crossfitter and and individual with bipolar here on week 5 with keto. Performance currently dropped but improving. Chronic anxiety has vanished. Big fan of Dr. Chris Palmer and would LOVE to connect for ongoing treatment. I'm also in my MSW program now with intent to be a therapist specializing in individuals with acute mental illness.

So I’m just halfway though this lecture, but I hope he talks about the side effects of antipsychotics which increase the risk for obesity and diabetes. I’ve met many ppl whom have mental health disorders, and aren’t obese or diabetic. Although I fully support moving your body and improving your metabolic health, I don’t agree with the assumptions being made in some of his comments.
