Best Of: Fact or Fiction

Best Of: Fact or Fiction

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

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.

How to Talk to Kids About Puberty, Sex, and Changing Bodies with Dr. Cara Natterson

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.

Sleep Science: Mouth Taping, Melatonin & How to Sleep Better with Dr. Michael Breus

We’ve all heard time and time again how important sleep is to our health. But no one really tells us how to become better sleepers, what to do if and when our sleep changes, and which supplements and hacks are worth trying. Chelsea gets all the answers to our sleeping questions from Dr. Michael Breus, who has been bringing science-backed sleep expertise to the public for nearly three decades. He’s a double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist with a podcast called “Better in Bed” releasing this fall. They discuss mouth taping, lettuce water, melatonin, sleep chronotypes, and why we all wake up around 2am. Plus, does warm milk really make you sleepy?
