That Can't Be True with Chelsea Clinton

Chatbot stuffies are talking to children, humanoid robots are getting deployed in schools, and AI-generated children’s videos are proliferating on Youtube. Is that okay? Chelsea speaks candidly (and humanly) with pediatric surgeon and professor Dr. Dana Suskind, a leading voice on early childhood development and the science of language. She’s helped fundamentally reshape how we understand the role of conversation, connection, and environment in shaping a child’s future and in her new book, Human Raised, she turned her attention to one of the most urgent and complicated questions facing families today: How is artificial intelligence changing childhood?

Hormones affect nearly every part of our health, but how much of what we hear about them is actually true? Chelsea sits down with endocrinologist Dr. Arti Thangudu to separate the science from the hype around everything from hormone imbalances and adrenal fatigue to testosterone therapy, menopause, endocrine disruptors, hormone testing, and cycle syncing.

Can AI really help you make sense of your health – or is it creating new risks? Physician and public health leader Dr. Ashwin Vasan joins Chelsea to explore how AI is reshaping healthcare – from patient-facing chatbots and diagnostic tools to insurance approvals and clinical decision-making. Together, they discuss why so many people are relying on AI for health information, where these tools can genuinely improve care, and why human judgment remains essential. They also unpack the hidden ways AI is already influencing healthcare behind the scenes, the risks of bias and inequity, and what it will take to ensure this technology improves health outcomes instead of widening existing gaps.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  The Clinton Foundation is a non-partisan organization that develops leaders and accelerates solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.

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.

The warning was initially added after misinterpreted data found an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, and possible dementia.

How did the longest government shutdown in history become a fight over whether Americans should have affordable health care or food on the table? Why can’t we have both?

Former Teen Vogue editor and Project Runway judge Elaine Welteroth met with eight different doctors when she was pregnant with her first child. She knew Black women were three to four times more likely to die during and after childbirth, and she wanted to feel safe with her doctors. But that never happened. That’s why she chose to use a midwife, a birthing option that could play a pivotal role in solving America’s maternal health crisis. Today, Elaine is here with Chelsea to dispel myths about midwifery and explain how her organization birthFUND is working to make birthing less traumatic and more “transcendent.” Plus, they get into hypnobirthing and pelvic floor therapy.
