With Whit

We are inundated with information all day long everywhere we turn! Unfortunately, misinformation spreads like wildfire, especially in times of crisis. Dr. Seema Yasmin is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, Pulitzer finalist, and a CNN medical analyst who advocates for media literacy and slowing the spread of false news. She attended medical school at Cambridge University and worked as a disease detective for the U.S. federal government’s Epidemic Intelligence Service. She currently teaches storytelling at Stanford University School of Medicine. In her latest book, Dr. Yasmin brings the next generation into the misinformation conversation. “What the Fact? Finding the Truth in All the Noise” offers teens a how-to guide to build the discernment necessary to tell fact from fiction. We discussed being intentional with spending our time online, thoughtfully consuming information to avoid mental health stress, and more!   Produced by Dear Media This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

I love continuing this skincare conversation with many intelligent and talented industry professionals. We can get a full spectrum of information here, which is ideal as, of course, all of our skin is different! Dr. Simran Sethi, MD, taught me about her skincare research with women of color. Her skincare line, skin by Dr. Simran Sethi, helps women of color who struggle to find the right skincare products by working with the skin renewal process rather than against it. Her products support healthy skin function by minimizing irritation and inflammation. Dr. Sethi is the Founder and Medical Director of RenewMD Beauty & Wellness, a modern medical aesthetics spa with 3 locations across Northern California in Stockton, Fremont, and Folsom, and the host of The Skin Report podcast. We talked about her research, retinol, exfoliating, laser treatments, skin myths…so much!  Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s a new year, and we are all trying to form new habits and routines. However, we must remember to give ourselves grace and allow for flexibility because success arises within variations of our goals. Michelle Segar is an award-winning lifestyle coach and sustainable behavior change researcher at the University of Michigan. For nearly three decades, she has pioneered methods to create sustainable, healthy behavior change. We discussed what it means to be an unhabitor, decision disruptions, and her thoughts on New Year’s Resolutions. She is an advisor to leading global organizations and frequently interviewed in major media outlets like The New York Times, NPR, and The Wall Street Journal. Her latest book, "The Joy Choice" was named one of the Best Health Books by the Washington Post. It challenges the habit paradigm with startling evidence from emerging science and her decades of coaching individuals on creating sustainable behavior change.    Produced by Dear Media See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy New Year!! My guest is here to help us start the year in a healthier head space. Dr. Ethan Kross is one of the world's leading experts on controlling the conscious mind. An award-winning professor and bestselling author in the University of Michigan's top-ranked Psychology Department and its Ross School of Business, he studies how the conversations people have with themselves impact their health, performance, decisions, and relationships. We cover it all. He is the author of the National Bestseller "CHATTER: The Voice in Our Head, Why it Matters and How to Harness It." He explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves while interweaving groundbreaking behavioral and brain research from his lab with real-world case studies. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk—what he calls "chatter"—can tank our health, sink our moods, strain our social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure.    Produced by Dear Media This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

I'm a major fan of Dr. Elsa Jungman's products and was thrilled to talk with her. When she was 18, she suffered from Toxic Shock Syndrome, leaving her skin incredibly sensitive. Since then, she earned a Ph.D. in Skin Pharmacology, dedicating her life to skin science. After researching the microbiome's relationship to skin health, she created her minimal and microbiome-friendly skincare line. During our conversation, she explained the microbiome and how we can respect it with fewer products. Additionally, she shared the ins and outs of her unique skincare line, her experience as a working mother, and more!

Empty house all to myself called for a new solo audio journal! A lot of you have questions about reality TV. So I went into a reflective dive on my experience filming 'The Hills' and 'The City' while answering the question if I'd ever do reality TV again. I also updated you on everything going on with me - what I'm grateful for, recovering from our disaster Europe trip, interviewing for Sonny's next school (HIGH PRESSURE), and more. Finally, I shared advice on finding room for light during a potentially heavy week during Thanksgiving. My heart is with everyone who will feel emotional holes this week.
