World-Renowned Mold Illness Expert Dr. Scott McMahon Joins MoldCo as Medical Director
Together, They Aim to Solve One of America's Most Overlooked Health Crisis: Mold Toxicity
LOS ANGELES, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MoldCo, the first digital health platform dedicated to treating mold toxicity, today announced that Dr. Scott McMahon, one of the world's leading experts on Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), has joined the company as medical director.
CIRS is a debilitating, multi-system illness triggered by exposure to mold and water-damaged buildings. Although it potentially affects millions across the United States, it remains widely misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Each year, many are misdiagnosed and suffer from a multitude of symptoms, caused by mold exposure. MoldCo and Dr. McMahon are on a mission to change that.
"I'm honored to join MoldCo to scale what I've spent years doing one patient at a time — that is, educating and treating people with mold-related illness," said Dr. McMahon. "We're giving patients answers when the medical system gives them shrugs."
Dr. McMahon has evaluated more than 2,000 patients with CIRS across 48 states nationwide and 21 countries. A board-certified pediatrician and hospitalist with more than three decades of experience, he is also an author, researcher and expert medical witness in mold litigation. He co-authored The Art and Science of CIRS Medicine with Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, the physician who first defined the condition. He has authored or co-authored more than a dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers on mold toxicity and contributed to multiple medical textbooks.
Dr. McMahon is also recognized as a qualified CIRS medical expert for the judicial system in ten states in the United States as well as the Bahamas and Quebec, Canada. He has been involved in more than 100 disability, workers compensation and personal injury cases, testifying in ten states as well as Canada, England and the Bahamas.
Widely regarded as a leading authority in the field, Dr. McMahon is at the forefront of advancing clinical science and education to improve outcomes for those suffering from mold exposure. MoldCo was founded by venture investor Ariana Thacker after her own debilitating experience with mold toxicity. "Millions of people live in mold-contaminated environments, unaware of the biological damage occurring inside them," said Thacker. "We built MoldCo to change that reality. Dr. McMahon's leadership marks a pivotal step forward in delivering world-class care to the people who need it most."
MoldCo provides online access to lab testing, expert-led care, and protocols grounded in research. It is often 10x to 100x more affordable than traditional functional medicine clinics, with zero travel and end-to-end remote care.
MoldCo is currently accepting new patients in select states at www.moldco.com and planning a nationwide rollout by the end of 2025.
