Chronic inflammation is not just about isolated symptoms. It’s about how the immune system, nervous system, and detoxification pathways respond to ongoing biotoxin exposure over time. At The Functional MDs, our CIRS and MARCoNS evaluation focuses on identifying inflammatory patterns linked to mold or biotoxin exposure and providing phased, physician-led support to restore immune balance, neurological function, and overall resilience.
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a multi-system condition driven by persistent immune dysregulation after exposure to biotoxins, most commonly mold from water-damaged environments. In susceptible individuals, inflammation does not properly resolve, leading to symptoms that affect neurological, hormonal, metabolic, and immune health.
MARCoNS is a resistant nasal bacterial pattern often associated with CIRS that can further disrupt immune signaling and prolong inflammation. At The Functional MDs, CIRS care focuses on identifying inflammatory triggers and supporting immune regulation through a structured, phased approach.


CIRS often develops gradually and can be difficult to recognize, especially when symptoms affect multiple systems at once. Many patients seek care after months or years of unexplained illness despite normal standard lab results.

These conditions require clinical precision, restraint, and long-range thinking. We don’t chase lab markers or follow online detox protocols. We evaluate patterns, identify system collapse points, and create a stepwise strategy based on your capacity, labs, and response.
Our approach begins with a detailed intake, exposure history, and testing when clinically appropriate. From there, we build a structured, physician-guided care plan designed to support immune regulation, inflammation resolution, and neuroendocrine recovery.
Your plan may include:
Your CIRS plan begins with an in-depth medical consultation and targeted testing based on your symptom pattern and exposure history. Once your physician identifies contributing inflammatory drivers, a phased support strategy is developed to reduce immune activation and restore system balance. Patients often notice:
