An estimated 70% of U.S. homes contain at least one mold species. And, while mold has always been part of our environment, something has shifted. Mold toxicity is showing up more often, more intensely, and in ways past generations simply didn’t experience. 

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Pejman Katiraei. Dr. Katiraei shares why today’s “toxic soup” environment makes mold far more disruptive than it used to be, and why kids are uniquely vulnerable. We explore how to recognize mold-related issues, how to think about mold in the larger context of chronic illness, and what steps parents can take if their child or they themselves have unexplained symptoms that don’t improve despite healthy habits. Whether you’re struggling with mysterious health issues or simply want a clearer understanding of what may be happening inside your home and your body, this conversation is an essential starting point.

Dr. Pejman Katiraei is a board-certified pediatrician with advanced training in integrative and holistic medicine. After completing his undergraduate studies at UCLA and earning his osteopathic degree from Western University, he trained in pediatrics at Loma Linda University, where he later served as Chief Resident and faculty while founding the Wholistic Medicine Clinic. One of the few physicians skilled in osteopathy, functional medicine, endocrinology, and medical herbalism, Dr. Katiraei now practices in Santa Monica.
