Brian Johnson interviews Harvard psychiatrist Chris Palmer about his Brain Energy framework, which connects physical and mental health disorders through a single mechanism. Palmer's research suggests this approach could be life-changing and potentially lifesaving for understanding depression and other conditions.
Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Heroic Plus One. Every day at 1:01pm Central Time, I show up and do live one on one coaching with members of our community. Now as I type these words, I'd done nearly 70 days in a row and coached people nearly 200 times. When you see this, it'll be higher than that. Now you can join us live and check it out and you can sign up for Heroic Coach. To get instant access to the 200 plus individual coaching sessions I've done on a broad range of subjects, check out the list of questions I've addressed below. We dropped them in as one jumbo paragraph to playfully show you all the topics we've explored. Now, every Thursday I invite one of my favorite teachers to join us for a heroic chat with Masters. We've connected with everyone from Phil Stutz, John Mackey, William Damon, Cal Newport, Talban Shahar, Mark Devine, Pilar Gerasimo, Steve Chandler, Donald Robertson, and Tom Morris so far. And before that I did 100 plus interviews in a different context. But the other day I had what I believe is the single most important interview I've ever done. That chat was with Harvard psychiatrist Chris Palmer, M.D. and why was that chat the most powerful one I've ever had? Because Chris has identified the number one thing that connects all physiological and and psychological disorders like anxiety, depression, et cetera, and provides both a coherent theoretical framework to articulate the underlying cause and even more importantly, an incredibly straightforward and practical way to address the issues. We talk about this wisdom in our notes on Brain Energy, which you can download for free in a link in this one and that we'll explore in the next several plus ones. But it really came to life in this 90 minute practical wisdom packed chat. You can watch and listen to that chat for free as well. We've got a link in the plus one here as well. Now I think this wisdom can not only change many lives, but save many as well. Now I typed that as I reflected on a note I read the other day from a heroic coach who recently lost her beloved 20 year old son to suicide. I believe the wisdom in this discussion can help solve the global mental health crisis we are in and I hope that you and your loved ones find it empowering. And while we're on the subject, here's a direct link to watch conquering depression 101 in which I share my story and practical wisdom to create a life of deep, sustainable meaning and joy. And that's today's plus one. We have a lot of work to do. Let's do it today. And P.S. that chat is one of nearly 100 luminary sessions. Michael and Alexandra and now I have Don with world class guest faculty members for our Heroic Coach program. You can learn more about that program and the science and thousands of testimonials that show how it works and how we're committed to helping you activate your heroic potential while teaching you how to help others do the same while building a thriving coaching business in the process. If that's your thing. By visiting Heroic Us Coach.
