I'm Lauren

cirs coach, consultant, and mom who's lived it.

Lauren Lowenstein is a trained and certified CIRS coach, Shoemaker Protocol, and biotoxin illness consultant, and dedicated advocate known as The Biotoxin Lady. A mother and survivor, she turned a deeply personal health crisis into a mission to help others after toxic mold and biotoxins in her home triggered severe, unexplained symptoms—including a frightening multiple sclerosis diagnosis for herself and PANS/PANDAS diagnoses for her children.

Facing medical gaslighting and misdiagnosis, Lauren trusted her instincts, thoroughly researched Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and environmental biotoxins, and successfully remediated her family’s home. Through this journey, she reclaimed her family’s health and began openly sharing what she learned.

What started as her family’s story has grown into a supportive online community and a platform that has reached and helped thousands of individuals and families navigating mold-related illness. With compassion, clarity, and zero gatekeeping, Lauren guides people through the often overwhelming process of identifying environmental triggers, understanding CIRS, and moving toward recovery—empowering them to advocate for safer indoor environments in their own lives.

Her lived experience, combined with practical knowledge and a heartfelt commitment to education, brings a grounded, real-world perspective to indoor air quality advocacy. Lauren continues to focus on raising awareness, reducing isolation for those affected, and highlighting the critical connection between our homes and our health.
