Early exposure to these toxins has been demonstrated to actually disrupt and replace the city and alter how the brain cells start connecting with one another.

And there are some people looking at how that may be one component to what we see with autism.

Hi everyone, Drupur out here. If you're curious about the topic of mold and why so many physicians are increasingly talking about the dangers of high exposure or chronic exposure to mold,

especially when it comes to the development of kids' brains, today's episode is for you.

Welcome to the Drupur out podcast. Each week we explore the inner workings of the brain and the body with one of the brightest minds in wellness, medicine and mindset.

This week's guest is Dr. Petchman Katarii.

Dr. Petchman is a board certified pediatrician who is also boarded and fellowship trained in integrative medicine.

He completed his undergraduate at UCLA and then obtained his osteopathic medical degree at the Western University of Health Sciences.

He then went on to complete a pediatric residency at Loma Linda University where he stayed on as teaching faculty for over four years.

Through his training as an integrative pediatrician and his experiences in thousands and thousands of kids over the years,

Dr. Petchman has become increasingly concerned about the role that mold and the micro toxins they produce has been playing in the development of children's brains, immune systems and overall health.

It's for that reason that we've invited Dr. Petchman back onto the podcast to talk about his growing concern,

who should be paying attention to this topic and why it's so important for physicians like himself to raise awareness and for individuals that are listening that are concerned for themselves and their families like you

to spread the word about this increasing mold toxicity problem that society is dealing with today.

Now a little bit more about Dr. Petchman. He's completed two fellowships in integrative medicine and he has a private practice in Santa Monica where he focuses on helping children with severe behavioral challenges.

He's also working with an amazing team to build a project out called holistic minds, which is an online portal that helps parents understand the root cause of their child's behavioral issues and what steps they can take to help resolve it.

I hope you enjoy this fascinating conversation on the topic of mold and how it can impact our children's health. Stay tuned.

Dr. Petchman, welcome back to the podcast. I want to jump right in in the preparation of today's episode where we're talking about kids mold and the true impact that you've seen as a pediatrician now for many, many years.

The true impact that mold has on the development on the function on the energy of kids you shared a statement with me that I want to start off with and you shared that in my 14 years of experience as an integrative pediatrician.

Nothing has caused a greater concern for children as mold. That's a super bold statement and I want to give you an opportunity to expand on that.

Sure. Talk about that.

Pleasure to be here.
