## Resource

What if chronic inflammation is not showing up on standard labs, but your immune system is still stuck in distress? In this episode of Made for Health , Dr. Aaron Hartman continues the conversation on mystery illnesses with Dr. Christian Jenski, focusing on Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). They explore how environmental exposures, genetic susceptibility, and immune dysfunction can create a complex, system-wide illness that often goes unrecognized in conventional medicine. Dr. Jenski explains why CIRS is more than just mold illness and how bio-toxin exposure, infections, and environmental factors can disrupt the innate immune system, impair mitochondrial function, and drive chronic inflammation. The discussion highlights why patients with fatigue, brain fog, autoimmune markers, or unexplained symptoms are often told their labs are normal, even while their immune system is signaling distress. You’ll learn how inflammation, mitochondrial shutdown, and immune miscommunication contribute to chronic illness, why many patients see multiple specialists without answers, and why identifying root causes can lead to meaningful recovery. Key Topics Covered What Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is and why it is often misunderstood Why CIRS is not just mold illness but a broader bio-toxin–driven condition The role of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure in triggering chronic inflammation How innate immune system dysfunction creates ongoing inflammatory signaling Why traditional inflammation markers like CRP and ESR are often normal in CIRS Mitochondrial dysfunction and the “cell danger response” behind fatigue and brain fog How immune dysregulation can lead to hormone imbalance, neurotransmitter changes, and multisystem symptoms The connection…
