Depending on the case, we can work with you through the entire CIRS protocol. Learn more here.
This comprehensive blood panel includes all major markers used to screen for Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), including your genetic susceptibility (HLA haplotype), inflammatory markers (C4a, TGF-β1, MSH, MMP-9), hormonal and metabolic imbalances, and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). This is our most complete bloodwork option for identifying CIRS-related dysfunction. It’s ideal for those with a history of mold, Lyme, or unresolved chronic illness.
With your LabCorp blood work results, you will also get a detailed Functional Health Report and includes EFH interpretation with diet-specific insights and personalized protocols.

Please fast for 10–12 hours before your blood draw. Bring the provided requisition form to your nearest LabCorp location. Be sure to call ahead to confirm they have all necessary vials—some locations may be out of MMP-9 or C4a.
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a complex, multi-system illness triggered by biotoxin exposure—often from mold, Lyme, or other persistent pathogens. In individuals with a certain genetic susceptibility, these toxins are not effectively cleared, leading to chronic immune activation, hormonal imbalances, and widespread inflammation.
This Full CIRS Bloodwork Panel is our most comprehensive option for identifying CIRS-related dysfunction. It includes all the major markers used in the Shoemaker Protocol, along with other functional medicine labs to assess metabolic and immune status. These include HLA haplotype, MSH, MMP-9, TGF-β1, ACTH, cortisol, ADH, osmolality, and a full Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) antibody profile, among others. It’s ideal for individuals who suspect they have biotoxin illness or who want to track recovery progress.
You’ll receive a full Empower Functional Health (EFH) analysis, including a detailed report with personalized supplement and lifestyle recommendations, and guidance on your next steps.
Why it matters
CIRS often goes unrecognized in conventional settings because its symptoms mimic many other chronic illnesses. This can lead to years of misdiagnosis or treatment that doesn’t address the root cause. For those who have “tried everything” yet continue to experience debilitating symptoms, this test can provide much-needed clarity.
Key markers in this panel help identify:
These insights allow for more targeted treatment approaches, especially when symptoms haven’t improved with diet, detoxes, or general supplements alone.
Symptoms it may relate to
What this includes
This panel includes over 30 markers used to assess your susceptibility to CIRS and the degree of immune, inflammatory, hormonal, and metabolic dysregulation. Labs are drawn through LabCorp and interpreted by the Empower Functional Health practitioner team with a detailed analysis and next-step recommendations.

November 2023 after watching Judy Cho’s video about CIRS, the next day, we purchased this CIRS testing for me. And yes, I have CIRS. This is a pricey but it’s so worth it! If we knew about this years earlier it could have saved us more. Last April, I purchased this for my husband. Without this test, we won’t find the root cause. It comes with a very detailed explanation of everything. First time that someone would really spend the time to put all the information for the patients. I’m grateful for for the NwJ team.
