See website for faqs, all conditions I care for in addition to CIRS, plus lots of free blogs and podcast episodes where I hold nothing back.

Stay above the curve. Stay above the bare minimum standards of care. Be a fierce advocate for yourself and for your family. Your intuition matters. If your labs “are normal and everything is fine” but you don’t feel fine then you aren’t fine. Dysfunction can still occurs outside the confines of ICD-10 codes and the systems at play. Hear a functional medicine aligned perspective. Keep overturning stones.

As a CIRS survivor and Shoemaker Proficiency partner, I just found it odd how many people defend toxic indoor mold (and other biotoxins) in clinically significant amounts?

Have you ever noticed people are so quick to defend indoor water damaged buildings and not the victim to it?

** This video is just humor for the CIRS community. I don’t wish it on anyone. But I do wish people would stop downplaying genetics and so quick to defend something they know nothing about.

It’s a big logical fallacy that because mold is in the environment or “it’s everywhere” that it’s safe.

There is a difference between normal ecology outside dispersing into the atmosphere and health deterring levels inside a building from water/moisture/humidity damage. Okay?

Certain HLA haplotypes determine if you are genetically predisposed to getting “sicker, quicker” from a biotoxin exposure.

What has someone said to you about your mold illness or CIRS? How did it make you feel? Share the unhinged responses below that you have received in the spirit of Taron Eggerton’s amazing unhinged performance in ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

* Owning a liver does not mean your body is metabolically detoxing adequately. It needs proper amounts of phase 1 and phase 2 nutrient to support the liver to package up and ship it out, open drainage pathways, and not be past its toxin processing capacity.

Most people’s body’s need help because they are deficient (I would say every 49/50 patients I see has diagnosably low levels in nutrient panels I order) and many people are inundated with various toxicants every single day. The modern day liver can’t keep up with modern day inundation. Work on decreasing exposures and safely utilizing tools to help the innate bodily process. General education. Not medical advice.

Be careful of anything or anyone with dangerous rhetoric like this. This message is delusional at best and negligent at worst.

Yes, “mold is everywhere” and “all buildings have some mold.”

The question has never been “is mold present?”The question is “are the levels of mold health deterring?”

We can quantify that. There is data that proves this. There are evidenced based protocols that heal post exposure to high levels of biotoxins.

Get out of mold illness denial. It’s physically harming to believe you can “out regulate” mold exposure and open the windows. I’m all for nervous system support but it’s one small piece of the puzzle as you can’t positive think your way out of high levels of mold in your home or colonized in your body or setting off your immune system. Sure, “doing the work” may calm those mast cells a bit but it’s Pennies on the dollar of the real, objective solution.

Hi- I’m Katie if we haven’t met. I’m a rare insurance accepting functional medicine aligned practitioner out here trying to help people navigate environmentally acquired illnesses. I’m also a CIRS survivor myself and a mom to children who were seriously harmed from mold and abysmally failed by the conventional healthcare system over and over.

I pray anyone who (uneducatedly) denies mold related illnesses, never has to watch their son in respiratory failure. Never has a daughter who bleeds clots out her nose. Never has severe sleep apnea from hypertrophic mold infested adenoids almost completing blocking the airway. Never has family members struggle with mold driven PANS, mold driven Crohn’s, vertigo so badly puking out the window of the car I’ve witnessed. Never has friends repeatedly struggle with miscarriages, CRPS so bad on disability and cannot work. Or dies of a heart attack (yes mold can cause heart attacks).

High levels of mold exposure is often the rootiest of root causes. That’s not trendy - we just keep getting more and more data on how the human body behaves to it and there is a justified push to have doctors stop playing downstream symptom whack a mole if/when there are resolvable health problems

Comment MOLD to see what is all included in the Mold Illness Recovery Program

It is for anyone who

-thinks they have been exposed to high levels of mold
-knows they have been exposed to high levels of mold
-the prior practitioner didn’t full help w/ high level of mold

Hi- I am Katie if we have not met. I am a rare insurance accepting functional medicine aligned practitioner - and I believe the only Dr. Shoemaker Proficiency Partner who accepts insurance (BCBS, Aetna, UHC PPO plans). I am also Dr Jill Crista trained and aware of the multiple schools of thought on helping someone navigate Mold/biotoxin related illnesses including CIRS.

I’m currently battling my second go around with CIRS and sharing my personal and professional insights on this account to help people get credible info to take matters into their own hands and not continue to fall through the huge cracks in conventional healthcare.

“HAIR” for the links

Comment SHAMPOO for link to the haircare quiz to get a personalized regimen from the industry disrupting haircare company that is now a professional line with a stylist program with back bar options.

I was blown away how much it helped my scalp and hair back then! Gave me the thickest longest hair I had ever had!

(And then we all know I got CIRS and Lyme and SIBO and anemia and copper deficiency and MARCoNS and lots of medical trauma with my son…so I lost about 75% of my hair from serious medical problems so I stopped talking about haircare for awhile)

But I’ve had an account for 9 years. I seem to always come back to it after trying just about every brand at Ulta and Sephora

Obvi you gotta fix the internal stuff….AND you can optimize the scalp environment and focus on strand integrity so it can grow thick and long.

I’m gonna get back there again. You can too.

It’s one of the top ten haircare brands on tik tok shop right now. And all those influencers and young pups don’t care/don’t remember the 2017 slander campaign. All they know is it works…

PSSSTT: they just want to get better and want to feel heard.

My “googling” saved my son’s life as specialist after specialist missed what was going on for years.

Granted not everything online is correct, the healthcare system needs an overhaul so doctors have more time to think/assess/intervene and note this isn’t all a physician issue. There are lots of things at play (corrupt insurance companies, standards of care that are influenced by pharmaceutical funded studies, downplaying of medical literature that supports herbs, supplements, etc).

But No matter how dysfunctional the whole system is, it does not excuse an individual’s behavior towards a patient that includes being dismissive and condescending.

Having been a RD for 15 years I’ve seen thousands and thousands of patients who have brought up how cruelly they were treated and how they were written off.

Powerful words Physicians and anyone in healthcare who works 1-1 with patients can start using in lieu of ego:

“I believe what you’re experiencing is real.”
“I am not trained/familiar in XYZ but I understand that you are looking for answers.”
“This is what I can offer within the confines of conventional healthcare, but I stand behind your concerns and encourage you to look into that with someone who is an expert in that area.”

The mentality of superiority (agree extremely well trained and educated!) actively discourages people from accessing care. Don’t add to patients having to work themselves up to go talk to a Physician about their symptoms and concerns.
