- Pharmacist Jay Gill interviews Jacki Meinhardt, DNP of the Amen Clinic in Reston, Virginia. Jacki is an expert when it comes to CIRS or mold illness. This multi-system, multi-symptom illness is essentially a biotoxin triggered immune dysfunction disorder. Symptoms vary widely from patient to patient but can include, fatigue, aches and pains, brain fog, urinary frequency and diarrhea or constipation. Jacki discusses diagnosis using blood tests, such as the GENIE test (Genomic Expression Inflammation Explained). She also explains that what used to be called mold sickness may also have bacterial, viral or parasitic involvement and be triggered by trauma as well as infections. Learn how treatment for this complicated disorder is very individualized and can include supplements, lifestyle changes along with medications.

I’m in Alabama and my mother and I both have this and we have both suffered for so many years and people think we’re crazy. I’m so thankful to the good Lord that this video was suggested to me, i’m hoping on the rest of this video that you tell me how to reach out to you confidentially -
I don’t think she responds here but she has an office with Amen clinic in reston Va if u wish to contact her. Best wishes! It’s a miserable illness and I pray you get the help you need!
You’re not crazy and are not alone. ❤
Im not sure i have this but i am nodding at all the symptoms
Thank you so much for this! I just got diagnosed with CIRS and it’s so validating to finally understand how all my symptoms are connected. I’m a little overwhelmed trying to understand it all so this video was super helpful.
Have you noticed seasons being a trigger, for example symptoms only in the summer when it is hot? 🤔
Dr. Meinhardt is my doctor and is AMAZING! I went to so many doctors before her all telling me they couldn’t figure out what was going on and that I was making all this up. After my first session and some labs, she properly diagnosed me and I have slowly been getting better ever since. Thank you Dr. Meinhardt!
Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking she sounds like a great doctor. I might reach out to see cost for a first appt for my son. Some of the CIRS providers are very expensive, so hoping she's with-in reason.
Wot did your dr treat u with for this cirs how much did it cost how long did it take to start feeling the benefits of your drs treatment
Jacki, does the Amen clinic work with dr Amen’s brain diagnostics together with CIRS?
Government approved protocol, treatment protocol and diagnostic criteria. Why aren’t there medical billing codes?? CIRS can be disabling.
exactly!!!!!!!!!
Is there any exact info on how to get these tests covered by insurance like she says? What am i missing. When i go to the GENIE test it says its 700.00 dollars! I am desperate for testing on this and i cannot afford that kind of test that is not covered.
Exactly so what did you do instead????
I was diagnosed with CIRS but the practitioner moved. I have been suffering for a decade ever since exposure to aspergillus at high levels … it’s not affecting my brain and regular doctors have no idea how to look at the symptoms as a whole and figure it out. I have low adrenal function and high Rheumatoid numbers . My list of symptoms at the primary doctor is so vast buries me . All he knows how to do is refer me and I never end up with any things being solved but more blood tests and more proof I’m messed up. Does this NP do televisits
My sister and I both have CIRS. We are having muscle fasciculations all over our bodies. Mine are mostly lower legs and feet. We both had horrible bouts with COVID at the same time. Help! What do we do!?!?
Same. Have terrible long covid and so many symptoms match! Doctors are not addressing my concerns. It’s very difficult. Thank you for putting out this video.
