Kristina Baehr believes the most dangerous toxins are the ones nobody tests for. A trial lawyer who founded Just Well Law after toxic mold made her own family seriously ill, she joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to explain why she argues America is being quietly poisoned — and what families can actually do about it.
The conversation is equal parts personal story and courtroom briefing: doctors prescribing stress reduction while her family got sicker, the construction shortcuts that turn new homes into toxin traps, and the legal fight that followed jet fuel contaminating drinking water in Hawaii.
About Kristina Baehr
Kristina Scurry Baehr is the founder of Just Well Law, a firm built to represent families harmed by toxic exposure — mold, contaminated water, and the institutional negligence that so often hides both. She came to the work the hard way, after her own home made her family sick and the medical system struggled to explain why.
Her most prominent case came on behalf of families in Hawaii after jet fuel contaminated water serving roughly 93,000 people — litigation the episode describes as the first successful environmental case against the U.S. Navy. For Kristina Baehr, it is proof that accountability changes behavior when apologies never will.

Why This Conversation Matters
Toxic exposure is one of those subjects most people ignore until it lands in their own home.
