Ariana Thacker is a chemical engineer, venture capitalist, and the founder and CEO of MoldCo, a health-tech platform addressing mold toxicity.

In this episode, chemical engineer Ariana Thacker, founder of MoldCo, breaks down how to test for mold exposure at home and in your body, why genetics (HLA haplotype) determine who actually gets sick, and how her company's affordable, virtual Shoemaker-protocol care gets 90%+ of patients significantly better.
