Short YouTube clip by Dr. Diane Mueller discussing how environmental toxins (e.g., mold-related toxins) affect brain health beyond simple presence in tissue — emphasizing cellular damage, disruption of hormones that regulate energy and sleep, and the idea that Alzheimer’s plaques may form as an immune response to toxins, with that process potentially becoming dysregulated in disease.

Stream impact on these hormones that are designed to make us healthy, to help regulate, and give us energy, to help us sleep at night, all of these sorts of things. So when we think about the brain and toxicity, it's really a lot more than just thinking about, oh, these toxins in the brain. We really have to think about the cellular damage that's occurring. There's even some studies that are showing that Alzheimer plaques, for example, can be created due to toxins in the brain, because plaques that are associated with Alzheimer's actually have an immunological process or immunological function to them. So our body will make these plaques sometimes because that's part of our immune system, and we want our immune system to go after these toxins. But of course, with something like Alzheimer's, that process goes very haywire, and.
