The gap
Mold illness evades conventional diagnosis
Patients exposed to water-damaged buildings present with vague, overlapping complaints — fatigue, brain fog, immune dysregulation, GI issues — that are easily misattributed or dismissed.
Your patient scenario
What walks in the door
Fatigue and brain fog — but “nothing shows up on labs”
Chronic sinusitis and recurrent infections
New bloating, food sensitivities, and MCAS-like reactions
A water-damaged home or workplace in the history
Dismissed or misattributed for years
What you need
What you’ll be able to do
Recognize multi-system mold patterns at intake
Order the right conventional and functional labs
Interpret key biomarkers with confidence
Build the foundational components of a treatment protocol
Collaborate effectively across an interdisciplinary team
What’s covered
Four clinical foundations for mold illness
01
Recognize the Patterns
Hallmark symptoms and clinical clues of mold illness across multiple body systems.
02
Order the Right Labs
Conventional and functional assessments — their clinical utility and their limitations.
03
Build the Protocol
Binders, antifungals, environmental remediation, and nutritional support.
04
Coordinate the Care
Role-specific strategies to support patients within an interdisciplinary model.
Why this course was created
“Mold-related illness is increasingly recognized as a contributor to chronic, multi-system symptoms that often evade conventional diagnosis.”
From fatigue and brain fog to immune dysregulation and GI complaints, patients exposed to water-damaged buildings frequently present with complaints that get dismissed. This one-hour foundational course equips clinicians across disciplines to confidently screen patients, interpret key biomarkers, and collaborate on multidisciplinary mold treatment plans — grounded in the CIRS and mycotoxin illness models.

What you’ll learn
A time-efficient, clinically grounded hour — from recognition to interdisciplinary treatment.
1
Introduction & Clinical Relevance 5 min
Mold illness as an emerging clinical concern, the prevalence of water-damaged buildings, and framing CIRS and the mycotoxin illness model.
2
Recognizing the Symptoms 12 min
The multi-system presentation — neurological, respiratory, GI, immune, and constitutional — plus red-flag history clues, HLA genetic susceptibility, and quick screening questions.
3
The Laboratory Workup 18 min
Conventional labs and the Shoemaker panel basics, VCS screening, and functional testing: urinary mycotoxins, OAT fungal markers, and ERMI / HERTSMI-2 environmental testing.
4
Common Treatment Protocols 18 min
Remove the exposure, binders and drainage support, antifungals when indicated, downstream issues like MCAS and mitochondrial dysfunction, and nutritional strategy.
5
Role-Specific Action Steps & Interdisciplinary Care 5 min
How each provider type contributes to diagnosis, prescribing, binder timing, and the dietary protocol — plus Q&A, references, and lab-company resources.
The takeaway
You’ll walk away with
A framework to recognize mold illness across body systems
Clarity on which conventional and functional labs to order
The core components of common mold treatment protocols
Confidence collaborating in an interdisciplinary mold team
