Emily Oster's Data-Backed Guide to Surviving Summer Break Jul 23, 2026

Show notes

Summer vacation can feel like a dream to kids, but the lack of structure and schooltime childcare can start to feel like a nightmare for parents. Not to mention thinking about sunscreen application, tick checks, and whether our kids are losing ground academically while school's out. Economist and bestselling author Emily Oster returns to help Chelsea separate fact from fiction when it comes to what parents should focus on in the summer. TLDR: Worry about swim safety, not the “summer slide.”

Best Of: Fact or Fiction Jul 09, 2026

Show notes

Every episode of our show ends with a segment called “Fact or Fiction,” where Chelsea throws out health claims to her guests and they tell us if they’re fact, fiction, or need a little nuance. It's one of our favorite parts of the show. And since health misinformation continues to run rampant, we thought it’d be a good idea to resurface some of our most popular and important fact or fiction segments from the last year of the show. Guests include gastroenterologist Dr. Trisha Pasricha, family physician Dr. Mike Varshavski, parenting economist Emily Oster, obesity-medicine specialist Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, and pediatrician/allergist Dr. Zachary Rubin.

Try This: Talkaboutable Season 2 Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

Our friends at Lemonada Media have a parenting podcast we think you’ll enjoy: Talkaboutable. Hosted by child and adolescent psychiatrist (and mom of 4) Dr. Susan Swick, she believes if you can talk about issues with your kids, you can tackle them. Each episode, Dr. Swick hears from a parent about what’s keeping them up at night and together, they unlock how to manage it. Then, she dives deep into that issue with an expert, from picky eating to grief.

In this episode, Dr. Swick explores thoughtful, practical strategies for kids with ADHD with Dr. Carrie Jackson, a licensed clinical child psychologist specializing in ADHD and the founder of SoCal Child Psychology. Carrie has been diagnosed with ADHD herself, so she also has a personal window into what works. Together, they unpack how parents can help their kids navigate everyday challenges, from impulsivity and defiance to sibling conflicts.

From Lemonada Media in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, new episodes out every Tuesday. You can listen and subscribe here: https://lemonadamedia.com/show/talkaboutable-with-dr-susan-swick/.

Puberty – everyone goes through it, but few want to talk about it. Except Dr. Cara Natterson. She’s a pediatrician, speaker, educator, and leading voice in tween and teen health. And she’s built a career creating informative, empowering, and engaging ways to discuss hygiene, periods, body image, and yes, eventually, at the appropriate age – sex. Is puberty starting earlier? Is it lasting longer? How do you discuss gambling, and changing bodies with your kid, and how do you prevent that information from trickling down to younger siblings? Chelsea gets all the answers.

We’ve all heard time and time again how important sleep is to our health.

He’s a double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist with a podcast called “Better in Bed” releasing this fall.

Summer Skincare: What Works, What's Hype, and What's Dangerous with Dr. Neera Nathan May 28, 2026

Show notes

Longer, warmer days often means more time outside, more time in the sun, and, for a lot of us, more questions about how to best protect our skin. But the conversation around sunscreen has gotten a lot more complicated than just remembering to reapply. There’s a growing anti-sunscreen movement online, tanning is having an alarming comeback, and skincare trends are promising everything from flawless skin to anti-aging miracles. Plus, some people are trying to treat their own skin cancer! Chelsea is joined by dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon Dr. Neera Nathan to help separate what’s backed by science from what’s just hype — or even harmful. They debunk mistruths about sunscreen and discuss which skincare trends are worth the hype and which ones are a waste of money.
