Is Your House Poisoning You? Navigating Toxic Mold, Landlords, and the Law | Kristina Baehr

About this episode

Courtney Swan interviews environmental toxin attorney Kristina Baehr about the health impacts of mold exposure and the legal rights of tenants and homeowners.

297: I’m joined by environmental toxin attorney Kristina Baehr to unpack a topic that’s far more common - and serious - than most people realize: mold exposure and how it can impact your health, your home, and your rights as a renter or homeowner. We talk about how mold affects the brain and immune system, why it’s so often missed or dismissed, and what to actually do if you suspect your home is making you sick. Kristina also breaks down the legal side of these cases, including tenant rights, landlord responsibility, and how litigation can create real change. If you’ve ever dealt with unexplained symptoms, water damage, or just want to better understand how your environment impacts your health, this episode is a must-listen. Topics Discussed: → Mold & Its Impact on the Body → Identifying Mold in Your Home → Mold Testing & Industry Pitfalls → Tenant Rights & Legal Protections → What To Do If You Find Mold → Why Mold Is a Growing Problem → Education, Awareness & Systemic Change Sponsored By: → Ogee | Thanks to today’s sponsor, Ogee: A higher standard for beauty.
