Dr. Lacey Venanzi - Awaken Wellness

Awaken Wellness is a solo integrative medicine and chiropractic practice in Sparks, Nevada, led by Dr. Lacey Venanzi, DC. The practice specializes in functional medicine and chiropractic care with a dedicated focus on CIRS and mold illness.

CIRS diagnosis and treatment using the Shoemaker protocol is a core specialty of the practice. The website describes CIRS as the largest hidden epidemic in the United States and provides a detailed overview of the diagnostic process, including symptom cluster evaluation, visual contrast sensitivity testing, HLA genetic susceptibility testing, and comprehensive bloodwork panels including MSH, TGF-B1, MMP9, VEGF, ADH/cortisol, and MARCONS nasal swab. Treatment follows the complete Shoemaker protocol and includes referrals for neuroquant brain MRI and stool and SIBO testing where indicated. The practice also provides patients with resources for assessing and remediating their home environment. Additional conditions listed as commonly caused by CIRS include mast cell activation syndrome, PANS/PANDAS, autoimmunity, chronic migraines, long COVID, and multiple other complex chronic conditions.

In-person appointments are available at the Sparks office, and virtual appointments are accepted from patients anywhere in the United States. A paid 15-minute introductory connection call is available to prospective patients who want to discuss CIRS offerings before committing to care. The practice is currently accepting patients via a waitlist. The website does not mention insurance acceptance or HSA/FSA eligibility.
