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.
Dr. Georgia Ede. Dr. Ede is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in college mental health and nutritional psychiatry. She has 18 years of clinical experience in hospitals, community health centers, specialty clinics, and private practices, utilizing medications and psychotherapy to help adults of all ages.
Dr. Chris Palmer is a psychiatrist and researcher at metabolism and mental health interface. He has pioneered the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders through research, patient treatment, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. More broadly, he is interested in the roles of metabolism and metabolic interventions on brain health.
Hannah Warren joined the Baszucki Group and its Metabolic Mind initiative in November 2023 as Mental Health Communications and Advocacy Manager. Hannah volunteers with the Brain Energy Movement, started by Dr. Christopher Palmer, to spread awareness of the brain energy theory.

He also offers practical steps to limit exposure, especially from an early age, and outlines lifestyle and dietary interventions to reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s.
Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist and researcher known for his groundbreaking work in the field of Parkinson's disease. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Dorsey has significantly contributed to Parkinson's disease research.

We are spending more on healthcare than ever before, yet our population is sicker than ever. The healthcare system is flawed, and the focus on true health seems misplaced within the traditional system. What’s at the root of this broken system and the advice being given to the public? Today’s guest is here to share his expertise on the healthcare system and highlight its Blind Spots.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Marty Makary to discuss how decisions in healthcare are often made by a small, centralized group based on dogma rather than actual scientific evidence. Dr. Makary explains how this groupthink mentality has led to a reluctance to consider alternative opinions and a fear among physicians of being labeled if they criticize these decisions. He provides examples of how such decisions have resulted in poor outcomes and eroded public trust. Dr. Makary emphasizes that humility and a willingness to learn beyond what was taught in medical school are crucial for focusing on science and providing the best guidance for patients.
Dr. Marty Makary is a renowned surgeon, professor, and author recognized for his contributions to public health, healthcare innovation, and patient safety. He serves as a professor of Surgery and Health Policy at Johns Hopkins University, where he has led initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare delivery. He is known for his research and advocacy on issues such as medical transparency, over-treatment, and the use of video technology to improve patient care. His newest book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health, is set to release September 17th.
