Engage in evidence-based practitioner education
Join respected Australian clinician, Lisa McDonald, as she explores the diagnosis and management of CIRS and related health challenges.
CIRS is an illness involving multiple immune response elements, including skin sensitivity, chronic sinus inflammation, photophobia, night sweats, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, muscle and joint pains, cognitive impairment, and fatigue.
This topic is very complex, and Lisa is a highly specialised and dedicated practitioner for this and related conditions.
Join Lisa as she draws on her own clinical expertise and research to share detailed insights into diagnostics and treatment options.
Learn key concepts and treatments for CIRSÂ and the gastrointestinal system:
- Know what Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome is and why it is important to understand
- What different body systems are affected?
- How the gastrointestinal system can be affected
- Which tests can be helpful to identify gut issues in these patients
- What are other confounding health issues you may need to consider with these patients
- What treatment options can be used to support these patients
- Case Studies
A fresh perspective for clinical practice
Looking for the root cause with her patients:
Lisa’s personalised methods are designed to bridge the gap for clients with imbalances beyond the reach of diet and lifestyle alone.
Lisa will explain the impact CIRS has on the different body systems. She will drill down into its effects on the gastrointestinal system specifically and how focusing initial treatments on gut health can start to steer your patient’s way back to health.
Lisa will also detail what functional testing is required for an accurate diagnosis, the best diet to recommend, and prescribing recommendations to consider.

A Highly Topical Presentation…
“I know only too well what it’s like to live with fatigue, brain fog, and chronic illness.
We lived in a water-damaged, mould riddled house with many members of the family suffering debilitating health issues.
It was only after research that I found Dr Richie Shoemaker’s work with mould toxicity / CIRS and decided to complete Dr Shoemaker’s Practitioner Certification program.”
~ Lisa McDonald
