The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance

Dolly Parton's death has sparked a push to make September 25 a national holiday, National Dolly Parton Day, a nod to her song "9 to 5," and Chalene Johnson breaks down the philanthropy behind it, including Jeff Bezos's $100 million Courage and Civility Award and over 300 million books donated through her charity work.
Then Chalene explains how she woke up "Under Attack" on TikTok over a conspiracy theory tied to the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, after Patrick Clancy's attorney threatened content creators with defamation lawsuits and a stranger's video twisted what Chalene actually said about the case.
Plus, the strange doctor wars breaking out in women's healthcare over HRT and testosterone pellets, why the Women's Health Initiative got it wrong, and a new legging lawsuit involving Buffbunny.
Topics discussed: Dolly Parton, National Dolly Parton Day, Jeff Bezos, Courage and Civility Award, Dixie Stampede, Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, TikTok, defamation, postpartum psychosis, epistemic closure, Midi, Women's Health Initiative, HRT, testosterone pellets, Buffbunny, Vitality, leggings lawsuit.

Dolly Parton died at age 80, just months after telling fans in May that her whole system was out of whack and she needed to slow down for treatment, with no official cause of death released yet.
Chalene Johnson also breaks down the Callaway Golf ad pulled within hours of airing, where Good Good cofounder Garrett Clark tackles professional golfer Alexis Mistowski over a driver, and asks the uncomfortable question critics won't touch. Plus, the backlash Chalene got for wearing Meta smart glasses, and why she isn't backing down.
Then, the latest from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, where defense attorney Reddington's cross examination of the prosecution's expert witness may have just changed the case, backed by brand new 2026 research out of UCL on how postpartum psychosis actually works.

Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse on trial for killing her three children, ages five, three, and eight months, received more than 30 different psychiatric prescriptions in just four months and was never diagnosed with postpartum psychosis before the killings.
While she has admitted to the murders, a wave of TikTok and true crime creators has spent the past week building an entirely different case against her husband, Patrick Clancy, pointing to a half marathon photo with his now wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, a Bratz doll crime scene recreation, and a Nancy Grace segment about the couple sitting too close together. Chalene checked every theory against the actual court testimony.
She also breaks down the one piece of evidence the judge won't let the public hear, Patrick's 911 call, described by courtroom insiders, including NBC10 Boston's Sue O'Connell, as the most gut wrenching audio they have ever heard.
Topics discussed: Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Cora Clancy, Dawson Clancy, Callan Clancy, Dr. Rachel Danis, McLean Hospital, postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression, SSRIs, Bermuda Half Marathon, Don't F**k with Cats, Nancy Grace, Shannon Hill, Sue O'Connell, Commonwealth Confidential, Casey Anthony, George Anthony, Chris Watts.

Hayden Panettiere, who appeared in more than 50 commercials by age five before starring in Heroes and Nashville, was found unresponsive at 36 in a Greenville, South Carolina apartment on Sunday, August 16th, where her on again off again boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach were both present when a 911 call reported cardiac arrest and a possible overdose.
Hayden had been on a press tour for her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, detailing a decade long, documented abusive relationship with Brian Hickerson, who pled no contest to two felony domestic violence charges, and the moment Neutrogena allegedly invoked a morality clause after she opened up about postpartum depression on the Kelly and Michael Show.
The story also reaches back to her engagement to Wladimir Klitschko and their daughter Kaya, and a surprising parallel Chalene draws to the Lindsay Clancy postpartum psychosis trial.
Topics discussed: Hayden Panettiere, Brian Hickerson, Zach Hickerson, This Is Me: A Reckoning, Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died, Jay Shetty, On Purpose, Gayle King, Neutrogena, Michael Strahan, Wladimir Klitschko, Kaya, Lindsay Clancy, Andrea Yates, Lori Vallow, Susan Smith, Casey Anthony, TMZ, Matthew Perry.
