CIRS Symptom Assessment
You're Not Crazy.
You're Likely Inflamed.
You've tried the elimination diets, the gut-healing protocols, the expensive supplements—and nothing's worked. It might be CIRS.
You've probably heard:
"Your labs are normal."
"Maybe it's just stress."
"Let's try another medication."
…but your body is still screaming for help.
There's a Name for This
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
CIRS is a whole-body inflammatory condition triggered by biotoxins like mold, Lyme, or post-infection illness (including COVID).
It shuts down your mitochondria's ability to produce energy, hijacks your immune system's intelligence, and creates neuroinflammation—often called "leaky brain"—alongside leaky gut issues.
CIRS can also trigger MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) and histamine intolerance, leaving you chasing food eliminations—when the real culprit isn't the food at all.
And most doctors miss it.
