Oct 2025 Jordan Peterson Health Update
In a Nutshell
Jordan Peterson's father endured a near-death ICU stay this summer from pneumonia, sepsis, and critical illness polyneuropathy triggered by decades of mold exposure causing CIRS and neuropathy, with treatment limited by severe paradoxical drug reactions; he's now improving on a regular floor after a month. The family faced simultaneous crises, including newborn Audrey's second ambulance trip for idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (previously resolved after near heart failure). They're relying on faith amid miracles, continuing Peterson Academy and releasing the "We Who Wrestle with God" tour, requesting prayers for full recovery.

Father was in ICU suffering from pneumonia and sepsis after neurological issues stemming from CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) due to decades of mold exposure. No better explanation for neurological symptoms other than possible spiritual attacks. Suffered unexplainable neuropathy and weakness for years, worsened this summer after cleaning parents' basement following grandpa's passing. Unable to communicate with him throughout September. Diagnosed with critical illness polyneuropathy, hoping it's critical illness myopathy. After nearly a month in ICU, moved to less urgent floor. Seeing daily improvements, though full recovery timeline unclear.
Can't take most medications due to severe paradoxical reactions, limiting options. Family requesting prayers for dad, mom, nurses, doctors, brother, family, and friends.
In August, day dad taken to hospital by ambulance, newborn Audrey also taken by ambulance hours later. Second time that summer; first at 6 weeks old from near heart failure, diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension which resolved. Occurred late July after recording call-in show episodes with dad. Everything declined rapidly.
Family relying on the Lord, seeing miracles, aware God uses everything for good. Miss dad as son, brother misses dad, mom misses husband and best friend.
Team including speaker continuing Peterson Academy and releasing We Who Wrestle with God tour on YouTube. Spiritual element means fighting back by pushing harder. Life doesn't get easier when doing the right thing; see God's hand throughout. Delayed update hoping for faster recovery and better news; was near-death experience for long time. Now out of ICU, praying things head in right direction. Thankful for prayers and support; will update and return to YouTube soon.
