Advertise on podcast: That Can't Be True with Chelsea Clinton

We’re kicking off a month-long series on aging with a conversation about menopause. Chelsea is joined by Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, a lawyer and longtime advocate for menstrual equity, whose new book is When in Menopause: A User’s Manual and Citizen’s Guide. Jennifer, who recently testified at Congress’s first-ever menopause hearing, explains how state legislatures have moved faster than Washington on education, insurance coverage, and access to treatment, and why she’s skeptical of workplace accommodations as a solution. They also take on menopause misinformation, anti-aging creams, and bond over their shared love of Judy Blume. You can follow Jennifer @jenniferweisswolf on Instagram.

More than 1 in 5 people diagnosed with HIV in 2024 already had AIDS, even though we have powerful tools to prevent and treat it. In honor of National PrEP Day (October 10), Chelsea talks with Dr. Demetre Daskalakis (former CDC and NYC Health Department) and Tristan Schukraft, founder and CEO of Mistr, about HIV prevention, PrEP access, and why stigma still keeps people from getting tested. They cover the PrEP gap for women, the shift from a daily pill to a twice-yearly injection, why an STI diagnosis should prompt a conversation about PrEP, how "undetectable equals untransmittable" could help end new infections, and what it would take to make testing routine.

Meditation gets recommended for everything, from anxiety and chronic pain to insomnia and addiction. But what if it's not always the harmless cure-all it's made out to be? Chelsea talks with journalist Olga Khazan, author of The Atlantic's "The Dark Side of Mindfulness" and the book Me, But Better, about the surprising risks of meditation, including a researcher's finding that it can worsen sleep and trigger psychosis in intense retreat settings. They also dig into Olga's year-long experiment reshaping her own personality — from improv classes to saying yes to everything — plus the science behind small talk and which personality tests actually hold up.  You can follow Olga @olga_khazan on Instagram and check out her Substack at olgakhazan.substack.com.  The Clinton Foundation is a non-partisan organization that develops leaders and accelerates solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.

Pennsylvania's measles outbreak has claimed its fourth death — all unvaccinated — even as the CDC's public dashboard shows zero. Chelsea Clinton talks with epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera about the politics behind that disconnect, including RFK Jr.'s reported push to alter the CDC's count, and how "died of" versus "died with" a disease is being twisted. They also unpack the EPA's removal of cancer risk estimates from air pollution data and newly released 9/11 air quality documents. You can follow Jessica @jessicamalatyrivera on Instagram.
