Episode 63 - Lauren Lowenstein - Unraveling CIRS: The Hidden Epidemic
/Listen To The Episode
Meet Lauren Lowenstein
Lauren Lowenstein is a dedicated mom and advocate passionate about raising awareness for Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), a condition often triggered by mold or environmental biotoxins. Affecting 1 in 4 people, CIRS frequently goes undiagnosed due to limited public and medical awareness. After years of searching for answers for herself and her children, Lauren is committed to helping others find clarity and healing. She believes many struggling with mold toxicity, autoimmune issues, chronic illness, or long COVID may actually be facing CIRS. Her mission is to educate, support, and empower others on their path to recovery.
What We Talk About
• Lauren’s personal journey with mold, Lyme, and misdiagnosed neurological symptoms.
• What CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) is and why it affects 25% of the population.
• The difference between mold illness and CIRS, and how genetics play a key role.
• Why conventional mold detox protocols often fail for those with HLA gene mutations.
• The top symptoms that point to CIRS and how they overlap with other chronic illnesses.
• Key lab markers and tests to confirm a CIRS diagnosis.
• Why MARCONS in the sinuses must be treated for full recovery.
• How the Shoemaker protocol addresses immune dysfunction step-by-step.
• How long COVID, Lyme, and mold exposure can all trigger CIRS.
• What to do when traveling to avoid biotoxin flare-ups.
• Lauren’s diet and nervous system approach to reduce stress during healing.
