Host Dave Asprey sits down with Seth Jones, CEO of Superstratum and the creator of the first patent-pending process to remove mycotoxins from homes. Before founding Superstratum, Seth spent 15 years as an international songwriter, producer, and DJ until a personal experience with Building-Related Illness changed the entire direction of his life. Today he and his team are on a mission to heal the estimated 66 million homes in the U.S. that create toxic conditions for the 170 million people living inside them. If toxic mold has derailed your health, your relationships, or your ability to think clearly, this conversation will change how you see your home forever.
Dave Asprey built his entire biohacking and longevity career trying to fix what mold did to his body. By his mid-twenties, he carried diagnoses of arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and mold-induced brain damage that wiped out his prefrontal cortex activity. Functional medicine doctors couldn't help him. Specialists gave up. It took him years of self-directed research into mitochondria, metabolism, and environmental toxicology to understand that his home was the root cause. He lost 100 pounds, reversed brain damage confirmed by imaging, and recovered IQ points he thought were gone for good.
In this episode, Dave and Seth break down the real science of how mycotoxins poison mitochondria, hijack hormones, crush sleep optimization, and block the neuroplasticity your brain needs to perform. They reveal why mold is additive with every other toxin in your environment, why most remediation fails, and how a systematic home detox protocol can do what no supplement, nootropic, or fasting protocol can fix on its own.
