If fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, breathing issues, or poor sleep remain unexplained after routine care, a focused evaluation can help determine whether mold exposure or CIRS deserves closer investigation.
Patients who come to Dr. Oseni for a mold and CIRS evaluation have often already seen multiple doctors, run routine labs, and tried treatments that didn't resolve what they were feeling. Their symptoms are real, even when standard testing doesn't explain them.
These symptoms can have many causes. A specialized evaluation can help determine whether mold exposure, CIRS, or another underlying factor may be contributing.
Dr. Oseni combines conventional medical training across Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine with specialized Shoemaker Protocol training for CIRS evaluation.
CIRS can affect multiple systems at once, including breathing, sleep, cognition, inflammation, and energy. Dr. Oseni's background allows him to evaluate those systems together rather than treating each symptom in isolation.
Mold-related illness is not a mold allergy, and that distinction is part of why it can go unrecognized.
A histamine-driven response that can often be evaluated with conventional allergy testing.
A multi-system inflammatory response associated with biotoxin exposure in susceptible individuals. Routine panels may not include the markers used when CIRS is suspected.
Routine lab panels may not include the specialized inflammatory markers, genetic susceptibility testing, or environmental exposure assessment considered when CIRS is suspected. That does not make routine testing wrong; it means this presentation may call for a more targeted evaluation.
Review your symptoms, medical history, previous testing, environment, exposures, and what has already been tried.
When clinically appropriate, evaluation may include specialized inflammatory markers, HLA-DR genetic susceptibility, VCS screening, environmental history, and comprehensive labs.
If CIRS, mold-related illness, or another contributing factor is identified, Dr. Oseni builds an individualized strategy and tracks objective progress over time.
No two people experience mold-related illness the same way. When appropriate, Shoemaker Protocol principles may be used, but treatment is built around your history and clinical findings, not a template.
After your evaluation, a plan may address:
Medical Director · Mold & CIRS Physician
Board Certified: Internal Medicine · Pulmonary Medicine · Critical Care Medicine · Sleep Medicine

Dr. Olusegun Oseni is a Certified Shoemaker Protocol Physician, trained in the diagnosis and treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS).
This page is focused on mold toxicity and CIRS, but the patient experience is supported by the broader functional, integrative, and longevity medicine model Alpha Care is known for.
Dr. Catherine Oseni founded Alpha Care Wellness Center with a whole-person philosophy: listen carefully, look deeper, and avoid reducing complex symptoms to one lab result or one body system.
That matters here. While Dr. Olusegun Oseni leads the mold and CIRS evaluation, patients benefit from being cared for inside a broader practice built around root-cause investigation, personalized plans, and long-term wellness support.
In short: you are not just getting a narrow checklist. You are being evaluated within a practice built for thoughtful, individualized care.
When clinically relevant, Dr. Oseni may also consider overlapping factors such as sleep disorders, hormonal dysfunction, gastrointestinal health, nutritional status, inflammation, and other environmental exposures. The goal is to understand what is contributing, not to force every symptom into a single diagnosis.
Focused when it needs to be. Comprehensive when the case requires it.
