In this CIRS Group Podcast episode, Jacie and Barbara cover phase four of the Shoemaker Protocol, focused on restoring normal metabolic function after biotoxin elimination. They explain that this phase may include supporting detox pathways for “normal” toxins and heavy metals (e.g., daily bowel movements, B vitamins, methylation support, sauna or hot baths, lymphatic techniques, and using binders like charcoal or clay for inorganic toxins), addressing androgen/sex hormone imbalance linked to low MSH (including signs of low testosterone or estrogen dominance, supplementing DHEA), and correcting fluid/electrolyte balance via ADH regulation (symptoms like thirst, frequent urination, nocturia, and static shocks). They discuss electrolyte options, a DIY recipe, and provider-monitored desmopressin if needed, and note this phase can also involve investigating other lingering issues or co-infections before moving to phase five.

For this episode I interview Norm Shoemaker, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Norm is 96, and was born and raised in Guelph, so it may not come as huge surprise that we bonded over local history! I learned of some places that were new to me (including the Guelph Casket Factory) and got a wonderful glimpse into a Guelph many decades before my time. Norm is appreciative of the experiences he has had in his life, and has settled in to accept the days ahead, however many there may be. This was lovely and I'm so appreciative of Norm indulging my curiosity!This interview was originally recorded on May 28 2026 This is a public episode.

Struggling with stubborn biotoxin illness (CIRS) and feeling stuck in your recovery? In this episode, we break down some of the most important (and often overlooked) steps in the Shoemaker Protocol, including binders, MARCoNS treatment, and gut support. Learn how binders like cholestyramine and Welchol work differently to remove biotoxins, why the wrong detox approach can trigger setbacks, and how to track your progress with tools like the Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS) test. We also dive into MARCoNS: why it's so common in CIRS patients, how it impacts MSH and overall health, and the treatment options available, from prescription nasal sprays to over-the-counter approaches. Plus, we discuss biofilms, reinfection risks, pet testing, and practical strategies for breaking the cycle. Whether you're just getting started or looking to optimize your treatment plan, this episode will help you better understand the next critical steps in recovering from CIRS and mold-related illness. None of this is medical advice: always consult your CIRS practitioner for what treatment is right for you.

Can You Trust What You See Online? - Brainz Podcast with Phillip ShoemakerPhillip Shoemaker, a former Apple App Store executive and author of Unbreakable, joins the Brainz Magazine podcast for a fascinating conversation on AI fraud, digital identity, deepfakes, and the growing crisis of trust in the digital world. After spending years helping build trust and safety into the App Store, Phillip found himself on the other side of the threat when his own phone was hijacked, his identity was impersonated, and his voice was cloned. In this episode, he opens up about how that experience changed his understanding of online security and why he believes everyday people are now at serious risk.The conversation explores how AI has made fraud faster, cheaper, and more convincing, from SIM swapping and phishing scams to voice cloning, deepfake videos, and family-targeted impersonation. Phillip also shares why traditional advice around passwords and two-factor authentication is no longer enough, and what people can start doing now to better protect themselves and their loved ones.This is an eye-opening and timely episode for anyone using the internet, social media, or AI in everyday life, and for anyone who wants to better understand how trust, identity, and security are being reshaped in the age of digital deception.With podcast host Miceal O´KaneHope you'll enjoy the episode!

Welcome to episode two of The Women's Health Wellness Edit — a brand new Slightly Spiritual mini series bringing you real, honest conversations with some of the top experts in women's health, longevity, hormones, brain health, and modern wellness. Because frankly? Too many women are being told their exhaustion, brain fog, anxiety, inflammation, and burnout are “normal” — and we think it's time for a deeper conversation. In today's episode, we sit down with Ariana Thacker, founder and CEO of MoldCo, for one of our most requested conversations yet: mold illness, mold exposure, mycotoxins, CIRS, and the hidden ways our environments can impact our health. Ariana shares her personal journey with mold illness and how it ultimately led her to build MoldCo, a healthcare technology platform dedicated to helping patients identify and navigate mold toxicity. Together, we dive into why so many people, especially women and children, are experiencing chronic symptoms while being told their labs look “normal,” and why mold illness is still so misunderstood in modern medicine. We discuss the difference between mold allergy and mold illness, common mold symptoms, symptoms of mold allergies, what mycotoxins actually are, and how mold exposure can impact everything from brain fog and fatigue to anxiety and inflammation. Ariana also explains how everyone in the same household can present completely differently, how does black mold affect you, and whether mold is dangerous for long-term health. Ariana breaks down colonized mold, the genetic component that can make some people more susceptible to mold illness, and why mold is often referred to as “the great mimicker.” This episode also covers: * Symptoms of mold allergies and how they differ from mold toxicity * Mold illness in children * Proper home testing and why air sampling alone often misses the full picture * Signs mold may be hiding in your home * Urinary mycotoxin testing and key biomarkers for mold illness * The Shoemaker Protocol and Dr. Shoemaker's work * Mold remediation tips and what to look for in a remediator * How to reduce mold exposure while traveling or living in a moldy environment * The truth about “black mold” vs. other toxic molds * Is mold dangerous? Understanding risk factors and susceptibility Whether you're actively navigating mold illness, questioning unexplained symptoms, researching mold exposure, or simply wanting to better protect your family's health, this episode is packed with practical information, validation, and actionable advice. As always, this episode is not intended to replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please consult your healthcare provider regarding your individual health concerns.

A proud Navy veteran, Jared Shoemaker channels the same focus he had in service into his work as a country-rock musician. The 32-year-old began his musical journey playing snare drum in an Irish bagpipe band as a kid, but it was during his military service aboard the USS George H.W. Bush that Jared discovered his voice. After leaving the Navy, Jared worked dismantling chemical weapons before realizing his true calling was music. He picked up the guitar again, formed his band, Marshull, during the pandemic, and has been performing across the Southeast ever since, opening for artists such as Diamond Rio and Colt Ford. A proud veteran, horse lover and country-rock frontman, Jared hopes "The Voice" will give him the chance to share his story and his sound with a wider audience.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com Jacie and Barbara discuss chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), emphasizing it as a real, multisystem illness rather than “just being tired,” and describe hallmark symptoms like post-exertional malaise (PEM), unrefreshing sleep, brain fog/word-finding issues, orthostatic intolerance, sensory sensitivity, pain, headaches, and the push-crash cycle. They explain how ME/CFS is often hard to diagnose due to lack of a single definitive test, the use of exclusionary testing and symptom criteria, and how cardiopulmonary exercise testing can objectively demonstrate impaired recovery and reduced oxygen utilization, which is useful for disability or legal documentation. They argue the diagnosis is a label, not a root cause, and propose chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) from biotoxin exposure (often water-damaged buildings/mold) as a potential driver, citing Dr. Ming Dooley's review comparing ME/CFS research to CIRS treatment outcomes. They outline next steps: assess exposure history and symptom patterns, take symptom clusters and the VCS test, find a CIRS-literate practitioner, address current environments before protocols, and explore resources and their community membership.

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com In this episode, Barbara and Jacie discuss how CIRS patients can tell when they're ready to move to the next step of the Shoemaker Protocol or “graduate,." As always, healing is gradual and should be guided by a CIRS-literate practitioner. They recommend tracking symptoms over time and checking three key questions: whether symptoms are improving, whether labs support improvement, and whether ongoing exposure is still occurring. The Shoemaker Protocol can be divided into three phases: (1) getting out of exposure by identifying and removing biotoxins, (2) clearing biotoxins with binders like cholestyramine (often causing temporary fatigue/constipation) and treating MARCoNS; and (3) repairing immune and hormonal dysfunction with supportive therapies, diet, and lifestyle supports. They also cover what “graduation” means, and common side quests if stalled, including Lyme, gut issues, dental problems, microbiome disruptions, spike protein, and autoimmune-related damage.

This is NOT medical advice: Actinos guidance is leading-edge in the CIRS space, but they share what has worked for them and members of The CIRS Group.  For skin, they discuss Defense soap, lava soap, Selsun Blue, Lume acidifying wash, and Johnson's Baby Shampoo (noting dryness/irritation tradeoffs), plus probiotic lotion for localized issues. For laundry, they recommend washing clothing after one wear, and frequently washing bedding, pillows, and towels. For the home, they advise using a sealed HEPA vacuum broadly (walls, furniture, mattress, woven items), dry and damp dusting (including walls with a wet Swiffer), and using masks. If you feel overwhelmed, try breaking cleaning into manageable chunks, and consider help from cleaners, friends, or family.

How to get revenge when you get laid off. TODAY'S QUESTION: Letter time! I need the help of the learn-ed boiz Fairbell, Shoemaker, & Payton. Long story short: I'm a middle school librarian at a small public school here in Colorado. I work my ass off and do everything I can to support all the students and staff. For the 4th time in my 16 years as an educator, my position got cut because of district budget bullshit. I'm pissed and it hurts to leave this school I love that I've been at for 6 years. I'm ready to leave education but because of retirement and child care discounts, I'm going to have to find another job in the district that screwed me over…again. I'm still at my school until early June & there are multiple people who threw me under the bus or have made my life hell. And assuming I find another job as a librarian, I'll have to still work with the higher ups who also fucked up this whole situation. Because I'm a “good person” and can't afford to burn down the whole damn system, I need something to daydream about without actually doing it. What is the pettiest shit you can think of for me to do to the asshats I loathe while still at my school and during district meetings next year? Those Who Can't is still my favorite show about teachers so I know you've got some ideas that didn't make the screen. I love (most of) my students so nothing to mess with them. Please don't share my real name so I can still get a job… -Abbey Logan's BFF LINKS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Vote for the winning advice!

Allbirds, the former minimalist shoe company that briefly surged in popularity among Silicon Valley tech workers a decade ago, announced it would suddenly become an “AI compute and cloud services company,” selling its branding and footwear assets and rechristening itself “NewBird AI”—and causing its cratering stock to jump over 800% after the announcement. KEY FACTS In a press release issued on Wednesday, the struggling footwear company said it raised $50 million through an unnamed institutional investor to become an “AI compute infrastructure” company. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, according to the release As part of the pivot, the company sold its entire footwear business to brand manager American Exchange Group—a $39 million deal announced in March. The company said the shoes' “brand and legacy will continue under the ownership of American Exchange Group,” whose portfolio includes other fashion brands like Aerosoles and Ed Hardy. The announcement caused Allbirds stock to skyrocket, rising over 800% after markets opened—although the company's stock was still only trading around $20 per share, up over 700%, by 11:45 a.m. EDT. BIG NUMBER Over $4 billion. That's how much Allbirds was valued at after its blockbuster IPO in November 2021, which raised over $300 million for the shoemaker. Allbirds' stock price quickly sank in the months after the IPO, and the company's stock was trading at $2.49 per share before the pivot was announced. KEY BACKGROUND Allbirds is not the first company to pivot away from its core business to a trend in tech. The Long Island Iced Tea Company made a similar move in 2017, announcing it would become primarily a blockchain company. Although the stock price also skyrocketed immediately after the announcement, the pivot didn't exactly work in the long run—the company was delisted by the Securities and Exchange Committee in 2021, which claimed in an order the company's new “blockchain business never became operational.

To check out the actinos cleaning protocol class Barbara just recorded, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com Barbara and Jacie discuss actinos (actinobacteria) in the context of CIRS and how they can drive illness. Notably, Genie Test research suggests 42% of CIRS patients react to Actinos versus 30% to endotoxins and about 10% to mycotoxins. Today's episode covers testing strategies, and if human-derived actino scores are high, they suggest testing your skin with test swabs behind the ear after showering, with a goal of under 10,000 per species and good diversity. They also discuss cyanobacteria and water testing, soil-related sources, sinus microbiome testing (SinusKey), gut testing, and highlight CIRSLab's Christian Navarro Torres and Dr. Andrea Jordheim's important research in this field.

A proud Navy veteran, Jared Shoemaker channels the same focus he had in service into his work as a country-rock musician. The 32-year-old began his musical journey playing snare drum in an Irish bagpipe band as a kid, but it was during his military service aboard the USS George H.W. Bush that Jared discovered his voice. After leaving the Navy, Jared worked dismantling chemical weapons before realizing his true calling was music. He picked up the guitar again, formed his band, Marshull, during the pandemic, and has been performing across the Southeast ever since, opening for artists such as Diamond Rio and Colt Ford. A proud veteran, horse lover and country-rock frontman, Jared hopes "The Voice" will give him the chance to share his story and his sound with a wider audience.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com Jacie and Barbara return from an unexpected break, caused by Jacie's autoimmune flare after moving into an apartment with a high actino score. Today's episode outlines what to do during a CIRS “flare” or symptom backslide. Some tips covered inclide: defining early warning signs, using objective tracking tools like the VCS test, symptom logs, and wearables, and scheduling periodic bloodwork (including MSH, MMP-9, and TGF beta-1). Their step-by-step approach emphasizes testing the environment (HERTSMI-2 or ERMI, plus endotoxins and actino), getting on waitlists for CIRS providers and Indoor Environmental Professionals, and addressing root cause through remediation, cleaning, and restarting the protocol. They'll also cover how to reduce inflammation with supportive measures while waiting for care. Once healed from CIRS, many patients build long-term resilience by investigating “side quests” like co-infections and keeping a clean environment.

Building a successful business isn't just about working harder or having the best ideas. At some point, every owner hits a wall where growth stops being about individual effort and starts being about leadership, systems, and the team around you.In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Podcast, host Adam Robin sits down with entrepreneur and business leader Spencer Shoemaker to talk about the leadership shift every growing business owner must make. Spencer shares lessons from the last year of building and scaling multiple companies, including the realization that trying to be the most important person in the room eventually becomes the biggest bottleneck to growth. Instead of answering every question and solving every problem himself, he explains how stepping back, developing leaders, and empowering the team creates real momentum inside an organization. They also dive into the practical side of leadership: hiring the right people, holding team members accountable, creating clear standards, and building systems that make it easier for teams to win.Throughout the conversation, Spencer introduces the Momentum Formula, a simple framework that helps leaders diagnose why a team or business might feel stuck and what to fix first. Together, they explore:Why many business owners unknowingly become the biggest bottleneck in their companyThe leadership shift from “doing everything” to building and developing a strong teamWhy allowing team members to make mistakes is critical for real growthHow hiring for values and alignment matters more than hiring for experienceWhy accountability and clear standards are essential for scaling a companyThe Momentum Formula: Vision, Motivation, Roadmap, and CapabilityHow to diagnose whether a team problem is about clarity, motivation, systems, or skillWhy simple systems and clear processes reduce overwhelm and improve executionThe leadership mindset required to grow multiple businesses without burning outIf you're a private practice owner, entrepreneur, or leader trying to scale your business without becoming the bottleneck, this episode will give you practical frameworks and leadership insights you can apply immediately.

My chat this week is with Brooklyn -based bespoke shoemaker, educator, and artist Anne Marika Verploegh Chassé, aka STIEFELwerk. Two decades ago, Marika came at shoemaking from a fine arts background, which shouldn't surprise anyone who's seen her work. After years learning the craft under many of the great shoe and bookmaking teachers, today Marika focuses on the use of veg-tan leather—often from the wholly unique Hudson Valley tannery Pergamena—to create hugely intriguing and distinctive custom, filly handmade footwear from her Brooklyn apartment-turned-workshop. In the chat, we get into Marika showing up at her first-ever shoemaking with her entire arm in a cast; the critical importance of the shoemaking community exchanging knowledge that ISN'T written in books; her own teaching at RISD, Parson, and FIT and why it's allowed her to keep making shoes; the joy of carving her own lasts; and the importance of always saying yes, even when it really feels like you should say no. Here's Marika, on the Shoecast. https://www.stiefelwerk.nyc/ Support the Shoecast, get full bonus episode access, and join the most interesting shoe-and-boot-loving community on the internet with a Stitchdown Premium membershiphttps://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/A website.

Wealth can remove “financial friction,” which inadvertently encourages fear-based, urgent, and uncoordinated decision-making, including fringe or unregulated therapies, constant protocol switching, and symptom-focused biohacking without tracking or testing. They emphasize the importance of strategy, sequencing, and objective measurement, highlighting the Shoemaker Protocol as a foundational, ordered approach for CIRS treatment.

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com In this week's episode, Barbara and Jacie explain why people with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) or mold illness should test their home (and workplaces) and when. They'll dig into why multiple tests are better to understand the full picture rather than relying on a single score, and recommend working with an IEP (Indoor Environmental Professional) for interpretation and creating an action plan. They cover MSQPCR dust testing (ERMI/HERTSMI-2), best sampling practices, testing per room/floor, separate testing for basements/crawl spaces/attics, and using an outdoor control sample as well.

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com Jacie and Barbara discuss how CIRS commonly affects body weight: often causing weight gain and resistance to fat loss, though some people experience extreme weight loss. They'll dig into why weight changes are driven by chronic, multi-system inflammation from biotoxin exposure (such as mold or Lyme), impacting hormones, metabolism, detox pathways, the brain, and the nervous system. It's not simply “calories in, calories out,” and listeners are encouraged to stop blaming themselves. Key contributors to weight gain include elevated cortisol, hormone disruption (leptin resistance, insulin resistance, altered thyroid signaling even with normal labs, and sex hormone imbalance), nervous system stuck in survival mode, why calorie restriction can reinforce danger signals, and how toxin storage in fat tissue can slow fat loss during detox. They emphasize supportive strategies aligned with the Shoemaker protocol: reduce exposure, calm inflammation, use binders and support detox (including daily bowel movements, sleep, gentle movement, sweating, and lymphatic support), prioritize blood sugar stability, eat adequate protein, sleep, and nervous system regulation. They caution that trying harder through calorie restriction, excessive cardio, and weight cycling can worsen stress signals, and raise concerns about GLP-1s. Focus on healing first: weight often shifts as a side effect of recovery.

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com In this week's episode, Barbara and Jacie discuss how anxiety and depression commonly show up in CIRS, and why these symptoms are often driven by biology and NOT personal weakness. Brain and body inflammation can disrupt neurotransmitters, increase inflammatory cytokines, affect mood regulation, and contribute to blood-brain barrier dysfunction and limbic system hypervigilance, leading to depression, anxiety, cognitive issues, and difficulty word-finding. They share personal experiences with OCD, suicidal ideation, and severe anxiety. They emphasize a “bottom-up” approach (reducing inflammation, treating CIRS/co-infections, addressing environment and exposures like mold) alongside “top-down” supports (therapy, limbic retraining, and community), noting therapy may be less effective without addressing root inflammation. They also highlight how mood improves with treatment, and suggest support options including The CIRS Group community and small group coaching through Untamed Iona (Dr. Lauren Sparks and Dr. Brenda Stewart).

On this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with father-and-son duo Tim and Mark Shoemaker to talk about the conversations parents avoid until it's too late. Tim is an award-winning author who loves writing outdoors and Mark is a next-gen pastor who's spent years in the trenches with teens. Their new book, What to Say and How to Say It to Your Teen, is a practical guide to 30 tricky, real-life topics (screens, anxiety, work ethic, honesty, dating, porn, anger, and more) with the kind of language that keeps the relationship intact while still telling the truth. You'll hear why so many talks go sideways, how to aim for connection instead of “winning,” and why the goal of every hard conversation is to “come back safe” with trust still standing and the door open for follow-up.

Season 36, Episode 13 of our Serial Killers in History series. This episode examines one of North Africa's most notorious crimes and the execution that shocked the world.In the spring of 1906, authorities in Marrakesh make a discovery that will reverberate across continents. Beneath the packed-earth floor of a modest shoemaker's workshop, they uncover the remains of twenty-six women. Ten more bodies lie buried in a garden nearby. Thirty-six victims in total—women who came to a trusted craftsman for help and never walked out alive. What follows is a story of community betrayal, colonial politics, and a punishment so brutal that diplomats from New York to London demanded intervention. But the screaming from inside the marketplace walls continued for two days before...VICTIM PROFILE:The thirty-six women murdered by Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi remain largely unnamed in historical records—a final cruelty in a case dominated by its killer's infamy. They were working-class women from Marrakesh's medina, women who needed help with everyday tasks in a society where female literacy was rare. Some came to dictate letters to relatives in distant cities. Others needed shoes repaired. They were mothers, daughters, sisters who trusted a man their community trusted. They walked into his shop for legitimate business and vanished into the earth beneath his floor, their identities lost to time while their murderer's name lives in infamy.THE CRIME:Between 1902 and 1906, Mesfewi operated his shop near one of Marrakesh's public bathhouses, positioning himself perfectly to encounter women conducting business without male accompaniment. His method was consistent across all victims: he offered tea laced with narcotics, likely opium, rendering women unconscious. Once incapacitated, he killed them with a dagger and buried them beneath his workshop floor or in a garden he owned, using quicklime to accelerate decomposition. His seventy-year-old accomplice, a woman named Annah, assisted in the crimes until her capture in April 1906.KEY CASE DETAILS:The murders unraveled when families noticed a pattern—women who mentioned visiting Mesfewi's shop were never seen again. One young woman named Fatima escaped after growing dizzy from drugged tea, providing the first direct testimony against the shoemaker. When Annah was captured by a victim's family and forced to confess, she revealed the burial sites before dying from her injuries. Authorities excavating Mesfewi's workshop found twenty-six bodies, methodically buried with layers of quicklime. A second property yielded ten more victims. Forensic science in 1906 Morocco was rudimentary—no fingerprinting, no crime scene photography—so investigators relied on shovels, sketches, and eyewitness accounts to document the horror.HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND SOURCES:Mesfewi's crimes occurred during Morocco's final years of independence before European colonization. As his victims were being discovered in April 1906, diplomats gathered in Algeciras, Spain, carving up Morocco's future at an international conference. Within six years, the Treaty of Fez would establish the French Protectorate, ending twelve centuries of Moroccan sovereignty. European powers seized on Mesfewi's execution—he was sealed alive inside a wall in the Marrakesh marketplace—as evidence of "barbaric" Moroccan justice requiring European oversight. Contemporary newspapers from The Times and Democrat to the St. John Sun published detailed accounts and illustrations, framing the case within colonial narratives that justified intervention.RESOURCES AND FURTHER READING:For those who want to explore further:Wikipedia article on Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi provides comprehensive case details and contemporary source citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadj_Mohammed_MesfewiMurderpedia entry includes execution details and victim count documentation: https://murderpedia.org/male.M/m/mesfewi-hadj-mohammed.htmYabiladi article examines the case from a Moroccan historical perspective: https://en.yabiladi.com/articles/details/94637/hadj-mohammed-mesfewi-morocco-serial.htmlFollow us on social media and visit mythsandmalice.com for more historical true crime.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
