In this episode of The Awakening Spaces Podcast, Ashley sits down with Lauren Lowenstein, known to many as The Biotoxin Lady, to explore what’s really happening beneath the surface of chronic, unexplained illness. Lauren shares her deeply personal journey through years of neurological decline, misdiagnosis, and family-wide suffering before discovering Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and the environmental biotoxins driving it.
Together, they unpack why it’s not “just mold,” but a complex web of biotoxins, including endotoxins and actinobacteria that are often overlooked in both medical and building conversations. This episode bridges science, lived experience, and nervous system wisdom as Lauren opens up about the toll biotoxin illness took on her marriage, her children’s health, and her own sense of self and how healing required both environmental action and deep internal regulation. This is an essential listen for anyone navigating chronic illness, building or renovating a home, or seeking a more holistic lens on health, healing, and resilience.
