clients stuck?
Confused on where toxins fit in?
You know that toxins matter but you don’t know where to start with testing and supporting your clients?
Let’s change that.
where most practitioners get stuck
Let’s be honest..
Toxin talk is everywhere… but the training is shallow.
Practitioners are drowning in info from social media, Facebook groups, and piecemeal webinars—but still unsure how to take action clinically. You might be asking yourself:
Which test should I run first?
What do I do when clients don’t “detox well”?
What’s the real difference between a binder and a drainage remedy—and when do I use which?
How do I actually support a client who’s living in mold and doesn’t know where to start?
Am I doing more harm than good by jumping into detox too fast?
How do I explain mold or chemical exposure without overwhelming my client—or sounding alarmist?
Which exposures are the most important to address first?
How do I build protocols that don’t just copy/paste from someone else’s mold binder list?
What if my client is emotionally resistant to leaving a toxic home or investing in remediation?
How do I personalize detox strategies without overloading sensitive clients?
Can I even trust these labs? How do I know what's actually actionable?
What if the client’s symptoms don’t seem to match what’s on the test?
How do I address chronic toxin exposure and support nervous system regulation at the same time?
You’re not missing something. You just haven’t had a system.
INTRODUCING…
the toxin mastery method
Where we help you master the science and apply real-world practices with confidence to up-level your clinical skills in just 8 weeks
Inside our certification program you’ll learn how to:
Confidently interpret the toxin testing (mycotoxins, heavy metals, environmental toxins)
Connect lab results with real-life symptoms and exposure history
Build strategic detox protocols that support drainage, mitochondrial resilience, and phase I/II/III detox pathways
Navigate home testing (like ERMI, HERTSMI, EMMA, and Dust Testing) to identify environmental sources of mold
Have the hard conversations—what to do when a client can’t afford remediation, won’t leave a moldy space, or is mentally/emotionally stuck
Tailor detox strategies based on the type of toxicity (you don’t support metals the same way you support mold)
Avoid re-toxifying your clients by understanding drainage, binders, and toxin-binding specificity
we cover the gaps other trainings miss
Most toxin education stops at theory. Ours goes further.
We dive into the real-world challenges practitioners face when applying this work: how to interpret nuanced labs, guide clients living in mold, build effective protocols without overwhelming sensitive systems, and communicate hard truths with clarity and compassion.
This isn’t just education—it’s clinical application, mentorship, and strategy.
Lab interpretation based on functional patterns, not just reference ranges
Strategies to help clients recognize and reduce environmental exposures
Understand the patterns behind poor detox—so you can help the body do what it was designed to do.
Environmental testing: how to help your clients assess their home and find a qualified inspector and remediate without fear and overwhelm
Protocol sequencing: how to match the toxin type with the right strategic detox approach (think “support, then mobilize, then bind”)
Clinical communication: helping clients process and act on tough recommendations with compassion and clarity
Understanding limbic dysfunction, sensitization, and reactivity that can sabotage detox outcomes if ignored
Support from our clinical training team to help you understand every step of the process and troubleshoot in real time
Modeled case studies and personalized feedback to help you understand gaps in your understanding that you can utilize in practice

This week is about stepping back to see the full landscape. After several modules of deep exploration into mycotoxins, environmental exposure, and remediation, we’ll connect the dots — clarifying how these systems interact and how to apply this knowledge in real-world practice.
We’ll take a comprehensive look at mold illness through multiple clinical lenses, comparing the Toxin Mastery Methodapproach with other established frameworks such as Dr. Shoemaker’s CIRS protocol and related methodologies. You’ll learn to discern where these models overlap, where they differ, and how to adapt them to your clients’ unique needs — especially when standard CIRS models don’t fit perfectly.
This module is intentionally paced more slowly, giving you space to consolidate everything you’ve learned so far and refine your clinical reasoning before diving deeper into advanced protocols.
You’ll learn:
How to differentiate CIRS, mold toxicity, and general toxin burden, and when to apply each model in practice
Key elements of Dr. Shoemaker’s protocol, including MARCoNS, VCS testing, and inflammatory markers — and how these compare to functional and integrative toxin-focused frameworks
The limitations of linear mold protocols — and how to take a systems-based, individualized approach that addresses drainage, immune modulation, and terrain repair
How to recognize biotoxin illness patterns that persist even after environmental remediation
The role of genetics, limbic involvement, and cellular energetics in chronic mold illness recovery
How to communicate complex mold and CIRS concepts clearly to clients without fear or overwhelm
Practical strategies to sequence care, balance detox with restoration, and re-establish tolerance
By the end of this module, practitioners will have a clear, integrated understanding of mold illness and CIRS — grounded in science, guided by systems thinking, and ready to apply in the nuanced, individualized way that defines the Toxin Mastery Method.
-
In Week 5, we focus on one of the most persistent and biologically disruptive toxicant categories: heavy metals. You’ll learn how to identify, interpret, and safely support detoxification of metals commonly found on the Total Tox Test, including mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum.

In week 7, we bring everything together — bridging theory, lab data, and clinical decision-making into one cohesive, confident approach. This module models how to apply the Toxin Mastery Method with one of the most complex client archetypes: the “Sensitive Soul.”
These are the clients who react to everything — supplements, detox protocols, foods, even environmental shifts — and who often represent the most challenging cases in toxin-related practice. We’ll explore why these hypersensitive responses develop, how mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) fits into the toxic terrain picture, and what it takes to restore tolerance and resilience in the body.
Through guided discussion and case-based modeling, you’ll see how to navigate these delicate situations with both clinical precision and compassion — balancing nervous system regulation, drainage, immune modulation, and detox pacing to help clients move forward without crashing.
You’ll learn:
The biological mechanisms behind hypersensitivity, including endotoxemia, histamine overload, and mast cell dysregulation
How to identify MCAS presentations within complex detox and chronic inflammatory cases
The connection between mycotoxins, endotoxins, and limbic involvement, and how they perpetuate reactivity
Practical strategies for stabilizing sensitive systems before initiating deeper detox
How to create micro-dosed, titrated protocols that progress clients without setbacks
Communication frameworks for setting expectations and emotional safety with high-reactivity clients
How to integrate all prior modules — from drainage to metals and environmental exposures — into a single, adaptable process
This is where you solidify your confidence as a practitioner — walking away with a complete, repeatable framework for supporting even the most complex, sensitive clients through detox and recovery.
-
Our final week is all about integration — transforming everything you’ve learned into a confident, streamlined, and repeatable clinical process. This is where the Toxin Mastery Method shifts from theory to true mastery.
We’ll walk through how to take your clients from the first conversation to successful case resolution using a structured, evidence-informed, and human-centered approach. You’ll learn how to connect the dots between toxin education, lab interpretation, and individualized protocol design while also refining the communication and business skills that make these protocols truly sustainable in practice.
You’ll learn:
How to confidently navigate sales and discovery calls, positioning toxin assessment as both necessary and empowering rather than fear-based
The most common symptoms and conditions linked to specific toxin burdens — and how to determine when advanced testing is clinically warranted
How to integrate testing selectively so you’re running only what’s relevant, saving clients money while preserving precision
A master clinical framework that maps the entire journey — from drainage and detox to rebuilding resilience — across diverse client presentations
A protocol design structure to help you customize and scale your recommendations with clarity and consistency
Communication strategies for setting expectations, navigating sensitive client conversations, and closing care plans gracefully
How to wrap up clinical care effectively, including discharge planning, maintenance strategies, and re-testing considerations
This module ties everything together — detox theory, lab interpretation, protocol development, and client communication — so you leave equipped with a complete, repeatable, and scalable process for helping clients reduce toxin burden and reclaim their health.
toxins: the missing piece
For many clients, toxin burden isn’t just a background issue—it’s the root cause that’s been overlooked.
Whether you’re working with chronic symptoms, complex illness, or cases that just don’t seem to respond to conventional protocols, understanding toxin load can change everything. Unfortunately, many practitioners stop at gut health, hormones, or infections—without ever asking why the body isn’t healing in the first place.
Toxins disrupt cellular function, drainage pathways, immune tolerance, and even emotional resilience. When you can identify and address them properly, you unlock a deeper layer of healing—and move your clients forward when nothing else has worked.
Neurological or Cognitive Symptoms
Brain fog, memory loss, poor concentration
Dizziness, balance issues, visual disturbances
Mood instability, anxiety, or panic with no clear cause
Tics, tremors, or neuropathy

Hashimoto’s, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis
MCAS (mast cell activation) or histamine intolerance
Unexplained joint pain, muscle aches, or widespread inflammation
Persistent fatigue or post-exertional malaise
Resistant Gut or Skin Issues
Chronic constipation, bloating, or IBS-like symptoms
Eczema, psoriasis, acne, or rashes that don’t respond to gut protocols
Food sensitivities that seem to be increasing, not decreasing
Histamine intolerance, chemical sensitivity, or reactivity to supplements
Hormone & Fertility Disruptions
Irregular cycles, PMS, or PCOS with little improvement
Low AMH or unexplained infertility
Recurrent miscarriage or failed IVF transfers
Low libido, early menopause, or hormone therapy resistance
Clients with “Mystery” Illness or Chronic Complex Cases
Diagnosed or suspected mold illness, Lyme, or EBV reactivation
Long-haul viral symptoms
Clients who get worse with detox attempts or who plateau with every protocol
Those who have "tried everything"—and still aren’t better
If you’ve ever thought, “There’s something deeper going on here…” You were probably right. That “something” is often toxicity.
The Toxin Mastery Method is built to help you recognize these patterns, interpret the right tests, and finally know what to do next.
