What happens when mold exposure and chronic Lyme collide?

In this powerful episode of Love, Hope, Lyme, Fred Diamond sits down with Ariana Thacker, founder of MoldCo, and Dr. Scott McMahon, an expert in mold-related illness. Together, they shed light on the misunderstood connection between mold and chronic Lyme—and why so many patients are misdiagnosed, dismissed, and left to figure things out on their own.

🎙️ Key topics:

💚 The shocking overlap between mold illness and Lyme symptoms

💚 How mold triggers the innate immune system—just like Lyme

💚 Ariana's personal story of losing her health (and nearly her future) to mold

🩺 Why Dr. McMahon believes CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) and chronic Lyme are two sides of the same coin.

If you've been gaslit, misdiagnosed, or told it's all in your head, this episode is for you.

"Without the will to live or to regain your health, you just stay stuck—and it gets worse from there. MoldCo was born because I couldn't get answers from mainstream medicine. I had to figure it out on my own—just like so many others."" Ariana Thacker
