PODCAST 102 — Treating Mold | Neuropeptides, Herbs, Exosomes & More! Guest: Dr. Jared Seigler Host: Dr. David Traster | Neurologic Wellness Podcast

Mold illness isn't just an allergy — it can derail your immune system, disrupt neuropeptides, impair detox pathways, and even trigger neurological symptoms. In today's episode, Dr. David Traster sits down with Dr. Jared Seigler to break down one of the most misunderstood causes of chronic illness: mold toxicity and chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS).

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How mold and mycotoxins affect the brain, immune system, and autonomic nervous system

• Why mold can trigger neurological conditions like autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, migraines, and autoimmune neuroinflammation

• The nervous system ↔ immune system two-way connection (neuroimmune loop)

• How to test for mold exposure (home tests + patient testing)

• The step-by-step framework to treat mold illness, including:

  • Removing exposure

  • Binders (activated charcoal, chlorophyll, modified citrus pectin, etc.)

  • Immune modulation + vagal tone regulation

  • Detoxification & lymphatic support

  • Antifungal protocols to kill mold, yeast, and fungus

• How neuropeptides, herbs, exosomes, and regenerative therapies accelerate healing

This conversation dives deep into the relationship between environmental toxins, immune dysregulation, and neurological symptoms — and how restoring neuroimmune balance can lead to full-body recovery.

• Mold toxicity (CIRS)

• Chronic inflammation

• Neuroimmune communication

• Neuropeptides & autonomic regulation

• Exosomes & regenerative therapies

In this episode, we explore:

• The art, science, and philosophy of fighting

• How elite fighters train their brain—not just their body

• What martial arts can teach us about discipline, suffering, uncertainty, and identity

• Tools Lucas uses to keep his brain sharp and recover quickly
