CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, often comes with very low or “undetectable” levels of MSH, or Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone. This hormone, which naturally occurs in the body, is connected to so many systems and can consequently cause a ton of symptoms when it’s too low. Today, we tackle all the ways this can manifest in CIRS patients, and offer some tips on getting yours back to normal levels.

CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is best treated by the Shoemaker Protocol, but there are supportive therapies that can “help the process of healing along” and one such practice is breathwork. We are joined today by Morgan Glodowski to talk more about this fascinating topic. Morgan is a multi-modality integrative health practitioner and owner of Moksha Embodied, where she utilizes functional labs, holistic protocols and somatic healing practices to help individuals get to the root of their symptoms and rewire their subconscious to break the mold of their condition. As an overcomer of CIRS and biotoxin illness herself, Morgan left her nursing career, and is now on a mission to inspire and educate patients and practitioners on the power of breathwork - a missing modality in medicine and mold recovery. Morgan is trauma-informed and trained in transformational breathwork and Kundalini yoga, specifically.

CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, can sometimes be “followed” or accompanied by co-infections. Today, we are diving into one of the most convoluted and confusing potential avenues CIRS patients might need to address: Tick-borne illnesses, of which there are many and not just Lyme disease! We are honored to have the leading expert in tick-borne illnesses with us today to help break it down: Dr. Peg DeTulio, who has decades of experience with 1000s of patients. Did you know it’s possible 20-50% of people with CIRS are also struggling with a tick-borne illness? If your healing journey has stalled, this may be a rabbit hole worth investigating.

CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, can be difficult to explain and difficult to treat, mostly because of the steps and how different everyone’s symptoms can look. The CIRS Project is a brand new non-profit that hopes to change all of that. They are focusing on making the message of CIRS clearer and more concise so less people are overwhelmed when they get diagnosed or when they try to explain it to loved ones. Beyond that, they are hoping to build clean housing that can be offered to underprivileged people needing to get out of exposure. We absolutely love their mission and cannot wait to see their vision come to life.

Therapist Brenda Stewart, LMHC, NCC, CTH
CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, can take a toll on the mental health of the patient, just as much and sometimes more so than physically. No one knows this better than our guests today: Dr. Lauren Sparks, a Shoemaker Certified Doctor of Nursing Practice, and Brenda Stewart, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and trauma specialist. Together they are offering a much needed extra layer of support for CIRS patients that are experiencing PTSD or other trauma-like responses due to CIRS and other events in their lives: group therapy. Today, they’ll explain why trauma plays such a big role in so many CIRS patients’ lives and what can be done to heal and move past it. This is not medical advice - please consult your physician or provider for what might be best for you.

CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is an illness that can cause us to dissociate from our own bodies, as a way of self-protection. If you are far enough along with your healing, it can become important to rebuild that connection and tune in to what your body needs and feels, so that you can heal fully and completely. Today, we dive into this topic, covering some of the challenges of mindfulness as well as strategies and methods you may want to try.
