Hantavirus Outbreak: Separating Fact from Fear with Jessica Malaty Rivera May 14, 2026

Show notes

Headlines about a hantavirus cluster aboard the MV Hondius have sparked confusion and fear — but how worried should we actually be? Here to set the record straight is infectious disease epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera, who clearly lays out the facts (how does it spread?), the risks (should I cancel my cruise?), and answers why her concerns lie elsewhere. Plus, the norovirus, measles, ivermectin, and why we should maybe stop saying “trust the science.”

What the Fitness Industry Gets Wrong About Women's Bodies with Dr. Stacy Sims Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

Exercise misinformation runs rampant online. Every fitness influencer has a different opinion on what workouts to do, when to eat, and how hard to push – often while trying to sell you something. It’s a lot to navigate, and can exacerbate unrealistic, unhealthy beauty standards. Hot off the Boston Marathon, Chelsea gets the facts on exercise from physiologist and sports nutritionist Dr. Stacy Sims, who has directed research programs around the world focused on female athlete health and performance. They talk about weight lifting, cardio, and the differences between men and women when it comes to training, nutrition, and health. Plus, she may make you think twice about the supplements you take or donning a weighted vest.

Seaweed, Green Roofs, and Making Environmentalism Fun with Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson Apr 23, 2026

From gas stoves polluting our air to microplastics sneaking into our food, we are surrounded by reminders that the way we treat our planet impacts our health. And in order to keep our families safe, we need to prioritize keeping our earth safe. Few people know that better than Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. She started her career as a marine biologist – but has expanded her reach well beyond the oceans to become known as the go-to expert when discussing not just climate science, but climate solutions. And she’s doing it all with a large dose of joy and optimism. Chelsea and Ayana discuss the cuts to the national forest service, the Artemis II mission, and how to put your values into action, from your home to your 401k.

Listener Favorite: Dr. Jessica Knurick on MAHA, Seed Oils, and Raw Milk Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

This week, we decided to revisit one of our most popular episodes with Dr. Jessica Knurick. This conversation first aired back in October of last year, and yet somehow we’re still talking about seed oils and raw milk! As a registered dietician with a PhD in nutrition science, Dr. Knurick first noticed heightened amounts of fear-mongering around health and nutrition on her social media feeds when she was postpartum with her second kid in 2022 – and it’s only continued to get worse. Since then, she’s used her expertise to continuously fact-check what the “Make America Healthy Again” movement gets wrong. Today, she’s here with Chelsea to set the record straight on seed oils, infant formula, raw milk, fluoride and so much more.

You can follow Jessica Knurick on TikTok and Instagram, and read her Substack here.

Seeing the World Differently: Autism, Animals, and the Mind of Temple Grandin Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Chelsea sits down with Dr. Temple Grandin, a professor of animal science, bestselling author, and one of the most influential voices in autism advocacy. Diagnosed with autism in the 1950s, Dr. Grandin turned what many saw as a limitation into a remarkable strength and transformed how the world understands both animal behavior and human neurodiversity. In this conversation, she and Chelsea explore whether or not we should be treating autism with Leucovorin, how visual thinking shaped her groundbreaking work with livestock, how we can eat meat ethically and what she believes people still get wrong about autism today.

You can check out the 6th edition of “The Way I See It” here and the Temple Grandin doll here.

How to Manage Your Family’s Screen Time with Jonathan Haidt Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

Most people can't go 90 minutes without checking our phones. What does that mean for our kids? Chelsea talks with social psychologist, NYU professor and bestselling author Jonathan Haidt, whose groundbreaking books, The Coddling of the American Mind, The Anxious Generation, and the new graphic novel, The Amazing Generation, have sparked a national conversation about childhood, screens, social media, and mental health. They dig into what our digital habits are really doing to younger generations, the dangers of social media, and why short-form video is uniquely damaging to developing brains. It's a conversation we all need to hear and one that might help us put our phones down, too.
