312. How I Finally Got Better from Mold Illness, with Ariana Thacker of MoldCo, part 2
After years of unexplained illness, How to Do the Pot host Ellen Scanlon finally found answers. In this episode, she shares what helped her recover from mold illness, and what testing and treatment really look like — with Ariana Thacker, founder and CEO of MoldCo, the first virtual clinic focused on mold-related illness and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS).
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• Testing, simplified: which lab markers matter, what dust and home tests reveal, and when to test the home versus the person
• Treatment in the real world: from prescription binders to nasal sprays to VIP peptides — what’s actually helping patients heal
• Costs and access: why traditional care often misses mold and how new virtual models are making treatment more affordable
• Recovery isn’t linear: what setbacks can look like and how to rebuild trust in your body after illness
“By seeing you here today and as healthy as you are now, I think it gives a lot of patients a lot of hope.” — Ariana Thacker, MoldCo
This episode continues a powerful conversation about an overlooked illness that may affect one in four people. It offers practical insights, real hope, and a path forward for anyone living with relentless fatigue, brain fog, or mysterious symptoms that just won’t go away.
