About - Angela Ardolino

Plant & Mushroom Medicine Educator, Formulator, and Speaker

Angela Ardolino is a fearless advocate for animals and a trailblazer in holistic pet wellness. With over 25 years of experience caring for animals, she’s made it her life’s mission to empower pet parents with the education and tools they need to support their pets naturally. From running a bustling rescue sanctuary at Fire Flake Farm to crisscrossing the country to speak on holistic healing, Angela is devoted to sharing the power of plant and mushroom medicine.

Her journey into natural wellness began after her own diagnosis with rheumatoid arthritis in 2013. Refusing to accept a lifetime of pharmaceuticals, she dove into the world of cannabis, herbalism, and functional mushrooms—and never looked back. Today, Angela combines cutting-edge science with centuries of traditional wisdom to teach others how to support the endocannabinoid system, balance the body, and unlock true vitality for pets.

She’s also the creative force behind multiple ventures that champion education and wellness, including House of Alchemy, LLC, and she previously founded the Miami Children’s Theater and Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine. Whether on stage, online, or in the field, Angela is a bold voice for change in the way we care for our animals—naturally, compassionately, and holistically.

After Floridians voted to legalize medical cannabis in 2016, Angela sold Tampa Bay Parenting Magazine and hosted the Canna Conference, an educational event to bring together doctors, veterinarians and patients to learn about the positive effects of medical cannabis. During that time, Angela also earned a professional certification in Medical Cannabis for therapeutic use from the University of Vermont, College of Medicine. Since receiving her certification, Angela became active in Women Grow and United for Care, and became an advocate for safe, natural, ethically grown hemp and medical cannabis for human and animal use.

In addition to educating the pet community through her own podcast, Your Natural Dog, Angela has been a featured speaker at holistic and pet wellness seminars, expos, and joined many other holistic pet experts on their own podcasts. As the founder of CBD Dog Health, MycoDog, and Pet Alchemy, she continues to share her knowledge and experience with pet parents and professionals. Angela is available for training and speaking engagements, and remains dedicated to empowering others through education.

To see Angela today, surrounded by her pack, is to truly see her in her element. Looking at this furry, joyful family you would never suspect that Angela and her pets were once full of aches, pains and anxiety.

Building The Team

While the government battled about growing hemp, Angela spent two years searching for ethical, safe hemp farmers in Colorado, where growing hemp was legal. She also spent that time finding trusted partners, sourcing the best hemp and essential oils, and building her team. In June 2018, with the passage of the Farm Bill, which legalized hemp farming in all 50 states, Angela was finally able to obtain safe, non-GMO hemp grown in the U.S. in Colorado and released CBD Dog Health products.

Angela and her team of experts, Hernando Umana and Carter Easler, travel all over the country with The Healing Naturally Tour, educating veterinarians and pet parents on the incredible benefits of cannabis medicine.
