Professori Cristopher Palmerin teoria on, että psyyken sairauksien perimmäinen syy on mitokondrioiden toimintahäiriö aivoissa, joten niissä on apua mitokondrioiden toimintaa kohentavasta ruokavaliosta. Keto on sellainen.
Elintavat, joita Palmer suosittelee mitokondrioiden toimintahäiriön lievittämiseen ovat aika lailla kaupunkilaisjärkeen käyvät: terveellinen ruokavalio (kuten keto), liikunta ja stressin välttäminen sekä laadullisesti ja määrällisesti riittävä uni.

According to his research and clinical experience, Palmer suggested numerous strategies to mitigate the effects of mitochondrial dysfunction, including common-sense lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, stress reduction, and adequate sleep.
One dietary intervention has proven to be the most successful with Palmer’s patients. The ketogenic diet, which dates back to 1920, was first used to treat epilepsy. The diet—high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates—has been shown to increase the number of mitochondria in cells and enhance their function.
One of the ways the ketogenic diet benefits mitochondrial health is through the production of ketones. When the body is in ketosis, it produces ketones from stored fat as an alternative, more efficient fuel source. These ketones can provide energy to cells, including brain cells, which rely heavily on mitochondria for their energy needs.
Mitochondria assist in the production of neurotransmitters, chemicals that influence mood and behavior, such as serotonin and dopamine.
The ketogenic diet also improves insulin resistance because it is low in sugar and carbohydrates. Insulin resistance can also impair the creation of new mitochondria. Insulin resistance results in dysfunction of the mitochondria, reduced energy production, and cellular damage, including in brain cells.
