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.

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.

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.

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.
