Summer Skincare: What Works, What's Hype, and What's Dangerous with Dr. Neera Nathan
5d ago00:41:03Summary readyLonger, 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. You can follow Neera @dermatologysurgeon on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Listener Favorite: Dr. Jessica Knurick on MAHA, Seed Oils, and Raw Milk
Mar 2600:42:38Summary readyThis 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.
