98 - Angela Ardolino- Medicinal Benefits of Mushrooms

In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske welcomes Angela Ardolino—founder of MycoDog, CBD Dog Health, and a passionate advocate for functional, plant- and fungi-based healing. Angela shares her personal journey from medical cannabis patient to holistic pet health entrepreneur, and how her own dog's cancer diagnosis inspired her to start developing mushroom-based tinctures for pets. They discuss the science and sourcing behind MycoDog's functional mushroom blends, including ingredients like reishi, turkey tail, chaga, and lion's mane. Angela explains how her tinctures target everything from cancer support to cognitive health, and why whole-fruiting body mushrooms, grown in the U.S., make all the difference in effectiveness. The conversation also covers the challenges of working in an under-regulated supplement market, the rise of greenwashing in the pet industry, and how education—and results—are key to building trust with pet parents. Toni and Angela connect over their shared mission: helping pets live longer, healthier lives with natural, proven ingredients.   Your Natural Dog Podcast https://angelaardolino.com/ https://mycodog.com/
