EP 16 // The Truth About My Experience with Mold Toxicity (CIRS): Diagnosis, Treatment, and What I Wish I’d Known Sooner

from Retrain Your Brain | Nervous System Regulation, Chronic Illness Healing, Brain Retraining Support · host Katie Nickerson | Somatic Brain Retraining & Chronic Illness Coach

What would you do if your body reacted to almost every building you walked into? In this episode, Katie shares the deeply personal story behind her years of living with mold toxicity - also known as CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome). She opens up about her official diagnosis, the extensive testing, and the long, exhausting journey through the Shoemaker-style treatment protocols that promised recovery but left her feeling worse. Katie reflects on the physical, emotional, and financial toll of doing “everything right,” and reveals the crucial turning point that changed her understanding of chronic illness forever. If you’ve ever wondered whether mold toxicity can truly be healed - or felt trapped in a cycle of detoxes, avoidance, and fear - this episode will give you perspective, hope, and the insight she wishes she’d had from the start.
