Hantavirus Outbreak: Separating Fact from Fear with Jessica Malaty Rivera

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.

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.

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.

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. They talk about weight lifting, cardio, and the differences between men and women when it comes to training, nutrition, and health. Plus, she may make you think twice about the supplements you take or donning a weighted vest. You can follow Dr. Stacy Sims @drstacysims on Instagram and Youtube.
