CIRS White Glove Service

$1,867.00$2,292.00

Depending on the case, we can work with you through the entire CIRS protocol. Learn more here. 

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is complex, but your healing path doesn’t have to be. Our White Glove Service handles the foundational steps of the Shoemaker Protocol and mold illness, so you don’t have to navigate it alone. This service includes all core labs (bloodwork, MARCoNS, ERMI, HERTSMI-2, Endotoxins), vetted CIRS resources, and guidance on what to do next.

Includes full Empower Functional Health practitioner analysis. 1-on-1 sessions may be recommended separately based on case complexity. 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.

Preparation:

CIRS Testing: 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.

 

MARCoNS: Wait 48 hours after completing a course of antibiotics before sample collection. Avoid the following foods and supplements for 48 hours prior to collecting your specimen, as they may interfere with the test results:
Apples, grapes (including raisins), pears, cranberries, Reishi mushrooms or Echinacea, and supplements containing arabinogalactan or ribose.

Do not discontinue any prescribed medications or supplements without consulting your healthcare practitioner.

 

ERMI: Use only the Swiffer cloth provided in your kit and wear the included disposable gloves. Wipe at least 10 areas throughout your space (e.g., top of doors, shelves, vents)—one direction only, no scrubbing or circles. Avoid dusty construction areas, visible mold, or heat sources. The cloth should be visibly dirty (gray), front and back. Once finished, fold the cloth with dust inside, seal it in the provided Ziploc, and label the bag with the location. Complete the Chain of Custody form separately. Do not place the form inside the sample bag.

Description

The CIRS White Glove Service is our streamlined solution to help individuals suspected of having Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) move through the first phase of the Shoemaker Protocol with clarity, structure, and expert guidance.

Rather than navigating multiple test orders, suppliers, and conflicting advice on your own, this service consolidates the essential labs and environmental screenings into a single package—with practitioner insight and curated resources every step of the way. It’s the best starting point if you suspect mold illness or are feeling overwhelmed by the CIRS process. 

 

Why it matters

CIRS is a complex, multi-system condition triggered by biotoxin exposure, often from mold, bacteria, or Lyme-related infections. For those affected, the immune system becomes stuck in a cycle of inflammation that impacts the brain, hormones, digestion, and energy production.

Many CIRS clients and patients experience intense brain fog, anxiety, and decision paralysis. This makes organizing your own labs and protocols almost impossible, especially when cognitive symptoms make processing information harder. 

The White Glove Service is designed to reduce that overwhelm. We coordinate your tests, share key home remediation and prevention resources, and guide you through your early results. You’ll know what to do and when, so you can focus on healing, not managing logistics.

 

Symptoms it may relate to

  • Unrelenting fatigue
  • Brain fog or memory loss
  • Anxiety or mood instability
  • Temperature dysregulation or light sensitivity
  • Chronic sinus congestion or nasal symptoms
  • Joint pain or muscle aches
  • Dizziness or balance issues
  • Shortness of breath
  • Weight gain or inability to lose weight
  • Gut symptoms resistant to dietary change
  • Mast cell activation or histamine intolerance

 

What this includes

Normally, you have to order these items separately from the various labs and companies. We will take care of it for you. Just wait for the lab kits in the mail and send them in.

  • CIRS bloodwork panel, including metabolic, inflammatory, and thyroid markers (LabCorp access required)
  • MARCoNS nasal swab test (kit shipped to you)
  • Home environment testing kits for mold and bacterial toxins (ERMI, HERTSMI-2, Endotoxins)
  • Resources and guides for VCS (Visual Contrast Sensitivity) testing
  • Curated protocols for diet, binders, and supplements before starting Shoemaker or any mold-illness protocol
  • Vetted referrals for trusted CIRS remediators (based on location)
  • Resources on prevention strategies, including air filter and environmental recommendations
  • Empower Functional Health practitioner analysis with suggested next steps

 

How it works

  • Once you place your order, you’ll receive email instructions with next steps.
  • Your test kits will be shipped directly to you.
  • Complete the samples and follow all included instructions.
  • Once received, results will be reviewed by Empower Functional Health.
  • You’ll receive a personalized analysis and actionable next steps via email.
  • For in-depth case management or interpretation, a separate 1-on-1 session is recommended.

 

Important notes

  • Not available in NY, NJ, or RI. Available in the U.S. only.
  • If you’d like an invoice to submit for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, please note that at checkout.
  • For most suffering from chronic Lyme, CIRS, mold illness, or unresolved inflammation, we recommend pairing this panel with the Empower Functional Health Personalized Health Plan (PHP).
  • If your bloodwork does not meet CIRS diagnostic thresholds, you’ll receive a partial refund for any unused test components (e.g., MARCoNS or ERMI kits).
