These companies pay me a small commission if you buy through my link or use my code, at no extra cost to you. It has never changed what I recommend.

Air Oasis air purifiers

I use Air Oasis purifiers throughout my home, and a small one travels with me. You'll get 10% off through ​my Air Oasis link​.

EnviroBiomics home mold testing

The lab I used for all of my home testing, including HERTSMI-2 and endotoxin tests. Use code CIRSCOMPASS for 10% off any test through ​my EnviroBiomics link​.

Hooga red light therapy

I use a Hooga full-length panel every day. The smaller panels cost a fraction of the price, so you can find out whether your body responds before you buy anything bigger. Shop through ​my Hooga link​.

EC3 Laundry Additive

Added to your detergent to target mold, mycotoxins, and bacteria in fabric. Paired with Branch Basics, it made a real difference for me. Shop through ​my Micro Balance link​.

Other companies I use and recommend

I don't earn anything from these. They're simply things I use that helped me.

MoldCo telehealth

A telehealth clinic that works only with mold-related illness, helpful if there's no CIRS-literate practitioner near you. Use code KARIN15 for 15% off blood and home tests at ​moldco.com​.

Sunlighten infrared saunas

I have a Sunlighten sauna at home and use it daily. Try a few sessions somewhere local first to learn how your body handles heat. Visit ​sunlighten.com​.

Blue Sky CBD

Their Sleep Gel and bath bombs became part of my nightly routine. You should know that Dr. Eric Dorninger, who founded the practice where I did the Shoemaker Protocol, is their Director of Research and Development. Visit ​bluesky-cbd.com​.

Branch Basics

Fragrance-free, dye-free cleaning and laundry products. It's what I switched to, and I still use it. Visit ​branchbasics.com​.

My Green Mattress

Natural latex mattresses with certifications you can verify. If a new mattress isn't in reach right now, a certified organic encasement is a good step in the meantime. Visit ​mygreenmattress.com​.

Purity Coffee

Organic coffee that's third-party tested for mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides, with the results published. That was enough for me. Visit ​puritycoffee.com​.
