Want to know how to deal with OCD?

Dave Asprey1m 1s

The speaker discusses OCD as potentially caused by strep bacteria reactions secondary to toxic mold exposure (called PANDAS), and suggests treating it by improving brain mitochondria and blood flow. They share personal experience with both OCD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), noting recovery from most symptoms except when told to do things "for their own safety."

Summary

The speaker begins by addressing OCD and its relationship to other conditions like ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. They present a specific theory about OCD's underlying cause, suggesting it's more often than not caused by reactions to strep bacteria that are secondary to toxic mold exposure, a condition called PANDAS. For treatment, they propose that OCD is fundamentally a mitochondrial issue in the brain that can be addressed by fixing blood flow to the brain, referencing their book 'Headstrong' as a resource. The speaker shares personal experience with both OCD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), describing ODD as having the Rage Against the Machine lyrics constantly playing in one's head. They claim to have overcome these conditions for the most part, with one notable exception: they still experience oppositional responses when told to do things 'for their own safety,' describing this as a genetic nervous system response. The speaker concludes with a confrontational statement about safety mandates and vaccinations.
