The MAHA ad that ran during the Superbowl starring boxer Mike Tyson labeling people with obesity as “fat” and “fudgy” angered a lot of people, including obesity medicine physician Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford. She joins Chelsea to set the record straight about what the disease of obesity really is (and yes, it is a disease), why it’s rising, and why diet and exercise alone don’t always work for everyone. Plus, they get into microdosing GLP-1s, “Ozempic babies,” and whether apple cider vinegar helps you lose weight.

Should personal choice come before public health when it comes to vaccinating our children? Does the new food pyramid mean we’re failing as parents if our kids aren’t eating beef tallow and salmon? It's a confusing time for parents and an alarming time for pediatricians. That’s why Chelsea is getting answers from Dr. Mona Amin, who’s been practicing pediatrics for more than 10 years and is the face of PedsDocTalk, a platform that provides resources on child development, health and parenting. She shares her view on delayed vaccine schedules, reacts to the alleged war on protein, and offers valuable insights on whether sleep training is harmful, when to introduce solid foods, and the importance of fingernail cleaning.

To kick off Season 2 of the podcast, and as President Trump begins the second year of his second (and final) term, we're stepping back to take stock of the current moment. Chelsea and historian Heather Cox Richardson, who helps millions of people contextualize the news every day through her widely read newsletter, dig into the erosion of democratic norms in the United States, the politicization of public health, the horrific rise in political violence, and what it means to be a citizen in 2026. Heather has sharp opinions on the violence in Minneapolis, Trump’s mental acuity, and reasons to stay hopeful and engaged.
