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

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.
