Is Your House Making You Tired, Angry, or Anxious? 10 Sneaky Signs It Might Be
If you’ve changed your diet, taken the supplements, tried all the things… and you still don’t feel like yourself—this might be why.
Before our daughter became so sick we thought we might lose her, I actually felt pretty healthy.
Sure, I had some brain fog. Some anxiety I chalked up to motherhood and life. But nothing that felt alarming enough to suspect something in our environment was at play.
It wasn’t until my daughter’s health crumbled that the truth started to come into focus—
our house was making us sick.
And not in a dramatic, black-mold-on-the-walls kind of way.
In a slow, invisible, nervous-system-crippling kind of way.
What If It’s Not You? What If It’s Your Environment?
There’s a condition called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) that almost no one talks about—even though it affects millions of people.
It’s triggered when your immune system gets stuck in a chronic “on” position after exposure to something like toxic mold or bacteria from water damage.
The symptoms?
They look a lot like burnout, anxiety, depression, fatigue, ADHD, hormonal imbalance, chronic pain, or even “bad behavior” in kids.
So how do you know if this is your story?
Start with your house. Start with this list.
