Thrival Nutrition Podcast With Mike Marshall
With Lahana Vigliano, founder and CEO of Thrival Nutrition
Written by Paul Sterling

In fact, our homes and workplaces share territory with mold. Yet, when mold infiltrates those spaces, it can be a big problem for us. Mold doesn’t just grow and damage our homes and buildings; it can have an impact on our health and wellness too, with symptoms ranging from a stuffy nose, coughing, wheezing, and eye irritation to chronic illness. There is a lot of information on mold out there, but much of it is incorrect. So how do you even begin to address a mold problem?
