Pejman explains the brain's immune cells (microglia) in plain English and why, when they're activated, everything can start to feel like a threat. That's when you see fear-based behavior, rigidity, big reactions, and changes that don't match your child's baseline.

In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with neurologist Dr. Ken Sharlin to talk about what comes before the diagnosis gets permanent. Why decline isn’t inevitable. And why the real leverage points aren’t “more meds” or “more supplements”—it’s the inputs that shape inflammation, metabolism, and nervous system stability.

Dr. Nammi breaks down what she calls Psychiatry 2.0, a root-cause approach to depression and anxiety that starts where conventional psychiatry refuses to look. The gut. Environmental toxins. Mold. Heavy metals. Nervous system dysregulation. These are not fringe concepts. They are the missing data your doctor was never trained to collect.

You breathe through your mouth at night and think nothing of it. Maybe you snore. Maybe your kid does. Your dentist never mentioned it. Your doctor said it was normal.

But mouth breathing is quietly reshaping your face, disrupting your oral microbiome, and setting the stage for problems that most providers aren't trained to connect.
