Episode Details

You’re about to learn how government approved food policies, regulatory loopholes, and corporate lobbying have quietly reshaped what’s allowed in the food supply and why these decisions are driving chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and neurological breakdown at scale. This episode exposes how biotoxins, ultra processed ingredients, and systemic regulatory failures contribute to long COVID, POTS, mold illness, chronic fatigue, and dysautonomia and why so many people feel sick despite following official health guidance.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Will Cole, a functional medicine expert who works extensively with autoimmune disease, mold illness, hormonal dysfunction, digestive disorders, and complex brain related symptoms. Dr. Cole brings years of clinical experience analyzing lab data and treating patients with biotoxin exposure, neuro immune dysregulation, and chronic fatigue patterns. 

Together, they connect the dots between mold exposure, post viral illness, mast cell activation, low blood pressure, and why many people with long COVID or POTS feel dizzy, inflamed, and cognitively impaired. They explain how histamine overload, electrolyte depletion, cortisol imbalance, and genetics combine to disrupt blood flow to the brain and shut down human performance. The conversation focuses on practical functional medicine and biohacking tools that help rebuild resilience at the mitochondrial and nervous system level. 

You’ll Learn: 

• Why long COVID, mold illness, POTS, and chronic fatigue often share the same biological drivers 

• How biotoxins like mold and viral exposure dysregulate the neuro immune endocrine axis 

• Why low blood pressure reduces blood flow to the brain and causes brain fog and fatigue 

• What mast cell activation syndrome is and how histamine overload affects the body and brain 

• Why electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are foundational for recovery 

• How creatine supports brain energy, hydration, and mitochondrial function 

• The role of cortisol in inflammation, stress tolerance, and nervous system stability 

• When antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers can improve quality of life 

• How nicotine acts as a low dose neuroprotective compound when used carefully 

• The benefits and risks of methylene blue for mitochondrial and cognitive support 

• Why removing the trigger matters more than chasing symptoms 

• How a functional medicine approach rebuilds resilience instead of masking dysfunction 

• Why creatine absorption improves when added to hot coffee 

• How Danger Coffee fits into performance, hydration, and brain energy
