I was inspired by an article review regarding metabolic disease and social isolation. Chris Palmer, M.D. is a psychiatrist who is active in treating many mental health disorders with ketogenic diet intervention. He and others propose that mitochondrial dysfunction may be at the root of these disorders. Mitochondrial dysfunction is also implicated in metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. In the video, I review the physiology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. I discuss cortisol, insulin, and oxytocin. I also elude to the endocannabinoid system and its influence. I discuss some reasonable treatments for social isolation and loneliness. I list a multitude of health problems that seem to all be related to a base root cause.
