4 snips
Mar 26, 2026 Dr. Eboni Cornish, a board-certified physician and functional medicine director focused on neuroinflammation and chronic infections. She discusses hidden drivers of brain problems like mold, Lyme, toxins, and oral/gut imbalances. Imaging and biomarkers that reveal early brain stress come up. Practical foundations for brain longevity such as sleep, exercise, omega-3s, vitamin D, hormones, and detox are highlighted.

Episode notes
Mold Exposure Can Mimic Dementia But Genetics Matter
- Mold/mycotoxin exposure can mimic or drive cognitive decline and autoimmune responses, but susceptibility depends on genetics and detox capacity.
- Cornish screens with ERMI, HLA mold genetics, urine mycotoxins, and CIRS blood markers to identify who retains toxins.
Move Out First Then Treat Mold Biologically
- If mold exposure is suspected, prioritize moving out of the environment and testing the home (ERMI, immunolytics) before medical clearance.
- Use binders, nasal sprays, antifungals, sauna, and individualized detox only after environment removal and assessing bowel/liver detox capacity.
Removing A Root Canal Rescued A Patient With Chronic Neurological Illness
- A long-suffering Lyme/mold patient regained major improvement after removing a chronically infected root canal tooth.
- Cornish recounts that extracting the tooth resolved circulating infection signals and markedly improved neurological symptoms over a year.
