Mold Exposure & Environmental Toxicity

Mold & Toxin Exposure Treatment Options

Functional Medicine in Boulder, CO

When symptoms don't fit a diagnosis, the environment is worth investigating.

Chronic illness triggered by mold exposure, sometimes called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), is one of the most commonly missed diagnoses in medicine. Not because it's rare, but because it doesn't fit the conventional diagnostic framework. Patients with mold illness typically present with a constellation of symptoms across multiple organ systems: fatigue, cognitive impairment ("brain fog"), recurrent sinus infections, shortness of breath, joint pain, mood changes, light and sound sensitivity, and unusual neurological symptoms. Lab values may be in the normal range. Imaging is usually unremarkable. And yet the patient is genuinely, often profoundly, unwell.

Restoring your full health at Helios

At Helios, we take environmental exposures seriously. We use our years of reversing immune dysfunction and detox protocols to objectively assess whether mold or other biotoxin exposures are contributing to a patient's illness. We also evaluate for heavy metal toxicity, chemical exposures, and other environmental contributors to chronic inflammatory conditions.

Treatment Plans & Outcomes

Treatment for mold illness is a process. It requires removing the exposure, supporting biotoxin clearance, and restoring the disrupted neuroimmune pathways over time. We guide patients through this process systematically, using evidence-based protocols while adapting to each person's particular physiology and circumstances. If you've been sick in ways that don't make sense, and nobody has looked at your environment yet, that may be the missing piece.

I love their Integrative Functional medicine approach. It complements the western medical model and keeps me healthy.
