Your nose has been stuffy since spring of 2025. You’re exhausted by 2 pm, and your brain feels like it’s wrapped in cotton. Sound familiar?
Very often, the culprit is mold. And for some people, that exposure turns into Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). Our team in Mooresville, NC helps people across Lake Norman and the Charlotte area figure out whether it’s mold toxicity, CIRS, allergies, or all three — so you can finally start recovering.
Insurance may cover up to 100% of your dietitian visits, and we’ll check your benefits before you spend a dime.
After years of dead ends with specialists, our clients get answers and real relief from frustrating symptoms.
Here’s one story, in a client’s own words:
For years, I had acute hives that were eventually linked to a digestive intolerance. A gastroenterologist claimed it was a histamine problem and referred me to an allergist. My allergist claimed it was digestive and referred me to the gastroenterologist. A classic case of specialists stating the ball didn’t belong in their court and lobbing it elsewhere. This did not help the problem.
Christiane Matey gave me a few tests which showed that the problem was mold in my system. I believe it was the first time anyone thought to look at mold as a possibility. Fortunately, she did, and she has a treatment protocol for mold toxicity.
The protocol — capsules, drops, and sprays over a period of months — takes some diligence to follow, but it did work! I can eat a greater variety of food again and the itching and welts are gone. I am very thankful to have been referred to someone who knew what to do.
We know how exhausting it is to feel sick while everyone around you shrugs. MINT Nutrition is led by board-certified registered dietitians with advanced training in integrative and functional nutrition.
Here’s a quick way to tell them apart:
The difference is what’s driving the symptoms. That’s why the right testing (and a guide who knows what to look for) matters so much.

If foods you’ve eaten for years suddenly leave you bloated, itchy, or foggy, your gut may be taking the hit. Mycotoxins and the nonstop inflammation of CIRS can damage your gut lining and disrupt your microbiome, fueling food sensitivities and more inflammation. Your plan may include:
If your kitchen cabinet already looks like a supplement aisle and you still feel lousy, you’re not alone. More pills aren’t the answer. The right ones, at the right dose and the right time, are. Based on your labs and symptoms, recommendations may include:
Mold toxicity and CIRS recovery isn’t a straight line. Some weeks you’ll feel like a new person, and other weeks you’ll wonder if anything’s working. Both are normal, and you won’t be figuring it out alone. Here’s how we keep you on track:
Your health insurance may cover up to 100% of your one-on-one dietitian sessions, whether you meet us at our Mooresville office or via telehealth. You’ll get personalized nutrition support, supplement recommendations, and a guide for every step of your recovery.
Want to dig deeper? Our cash-pay programs add advanced functional testing like mycotoxin panels, in-depth mold and CIRS assessments, personalized meal planning, and extra wellness support. You can pair them with your insurance-covered sessions to maximize your health benefits.
The most common ones are fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, brain fog, headaches, stubborn sinus congestion, achy joints, and digestive trouble. Many people also notice skin rashes, anxiety, or suddenly reacting to smells and foods that never bothered them before. Because the symptoms are so spread out, they’re often blamed on stress, aging, or “just allergies.”
It can. Mycotoxins irritate the gut lining and throw off the balance of bacteria in your microbiome, which can lead to bloating, constipation, loose stools, reflux, and new food sensitivities. Healing your gut is a big part of mold recovery, and we explain why in The Gut-Mold Connection.
A few clues: you feel better when you’re away from home for a few days, your symptoms started after a move or a leak, or you notice a musty smell in certain rooms. Visible mold isn’t required, since it often hides in crawl spaces, walls, and HVAC systems. We can help you figure out whether a professional mold inspection makes sense.
Pushing toxins out while you’re still breathing them in usually leads to frustration (and a lot of wasted supplements). The best results come after you fix the source or move out. That said, you don’t have to wait to start feeling better, since we can begin supporting your gut and calming inflammation right away.
If your liver, gallbladder, kidneys, or gut aren’t ready, toxins can get stirred up faster than your body can clear them. That can trigger a flare of symptoms sometimes called a Herxheimer reaction, which is exactly why we prepare your exit routes first.
We don’t replace your physician. We work alongside your doctor or mold-literate provider to handle the nutrition, gut repair, and detox support side of mold toxicity and CIRS recovery, which is a big (and often skipped) part of getting better.
Yes. Whether it’s the spring pollen that turns every car in Mooresville yellow or reactions to foods and wine, we look at your gut, histamine load, and inflammation to help your body react less.
Absolutely. Many of our mold and environmental detox clients come from Charlotte, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Statesville, and the surrounding Lake Norman area. We also offer virtual appointments in the seven states where we’re licensed, so you don’t have to leave home to get started.
Often, yes. Many major insurance plans cover up to 100% of one-on-one dietitian sessions, in-office or via telehealth. We verify your benefits before your first appointment. Your primary care office can often do basic labs and bill them to insurance. Premium services, like advanced mycotoxin and functional lab testing, aren’t covered by insurance.
We are in-network with BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS), Anthem, Aetna, and United Healthcare. We also accept Veterans Administration benefits with a referral from the VA.
We don’t offer online booking for health assessments or dietitian appointments. Instead, we start with a free 15-minute consultation call, then help you schedule your first appointment.
Your first one-on-one session with a dietitian is a 60-90 minute health assessment. Follow-up appointments are 30-60 minutes.
Before your session, we review your medical history, current labs, symptoms, and intake forms thoroughly. During the appointment, we review everything in depth and ask targeted questions to understand what your body needs. You’ll leave with personalized recommendations to start addressing symptoms and recovering from any environmental exposures.
Yes. You can see us in person at 500 S. Main Street Suite 113, Mooresville, NC 28115, or meet virtually if you live in North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, California, Florida, Michigan, or New Hampshire.
You don’t need another round of antihistamines or another doctor telling you it’s just stress. You need someone who’ll find out what’s really making you sick and help you clear it, one step at a time. The longer mold toxicity or CIRS goes unaddressed, the more it tends to spill into your gut, hormones, sleep, and mood. The sooner you start, the sooner you get your energy, your focus, and your life back.
