Every institution in healthcare profits when kids are sick and loses money when they’re healthy. Trying to change that incentive.
In a burst of energy before she died, my mom urged us to take her to where she'd be buried. Cupping my dad's face, she talked about how magical their life was together. It was the most profound moment of my life, and it wouldn't have happened if we listened to her doctors.…
BREAKING — NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya joined our show today with an EXCLUSIVE announcement that HHS has a new order capping the fees publishers can charge for making taxpayer-funded research publicly available. Science should be a tool of progress and innovation. But in…
Over 30% of the “experts” who created the American Academy of Pediatrics guidance recommending Ozempic as a first-line defense for 12-year-olds were being paid by @novonordisk or @EliLillyandCo
BREAKING: I'm investigating Mars for deceptive and illegal practices. Mars must remove toxic artificial dyes from its U.S. food products not only to honor its public commitment and ensure that it stays on the right side of the law, but also because it’s the right thing to do.
Approximately 5% of pregnant women take an SSRI for depression. But SSRI use during pregnancy has been linked in observational studies to birth defects, miscarriages, and neurological and behavioral challenges in childhood. On Monday, July 21 at 10 a.m. ET, we’ll be hosting an…
Our world is aging and society will collapse without an increase in birth rates. We will not have enough young people to take care of our aging population.
The more we spend on health, the less healthier we get.

“We are going to have dietary guidelines that are based on science, not based on medical dogma.” —@DrMakaryFDA
Kyle Diamantas is crushing it at the FDA.
Ice cream is getting a MAHA makeover—but don’t worry, it’s still the treat you love. FDA’s Kyle Diamantas says: “The classic flavors of summer? No, it’s not all gone. We’ve got a lot of natural colors coming onto the market.”
It was an honor to host @SecRollins and @SecKennedy at the Capitol this morning for the first MAHA roundtable on Capitol Hill. Today, we engaged in a meaningful discussion with farmers from across the nation, focusing on soil health — a critical intersection of agriculture and…
🇺🇸 MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN! The Trump Administration delivers on MAHA: Dozens of ice cream brands drop artificial colors, joining major companies in improving our food supply! 💪⬇️
In this episode, I sat down with @JoeRogan to expose the truth about what’s happening to our health in America. We talked about: The real reason chronic disease is exploding Why companies sell poison here but clean versions overseas How influence can change public health Joe’s…
Addressing *obvious* abuses of SNAP post COVID is essential for the program’s survival and success. Anyone who doesn’t acknowledge this isn’t serious about protecting SNAP.
Slashing nearly $200 billion cut to SNAP or food stamps and the “domino effect” of negatively impacting WIC and school meals is the single-largest cut to child nutrition in the history of the nation. Imposing massive new bureaucracy and red tape barriers as part of another $1…
The food kids are eating is a public health menace. Riding the dyes and fixing GRAS in the first 100 days is a major first step. The status quo wants @SecKennedy to “boil the ocean” all at one time - because they know that won’t work. Instead, the admin is taking specific,…
Artificial dyes in ice cream is not a public health menace
One year ago, President Trump stood up at yelled “Fight” after being shot in the head. Soon afterward, Bobby Kennedy called him. They talked about the existential need to dismantle the deep state: the impossibly complex forces that profit from more wars, that profit from a…
We've not been talking about root causes in healthcare...why do a third of our nation's children now have pre-diabetes or diabetes? We've got to talk about school lunch programs, not just putting every 6-year-old on Ozempic.
A comment on wearables: Any reading of Secretary Kennedy's or President Trump's "MAHA" comments over the past several years is that we must have a mass societal reckoning about the raw inputs to our health. Ultraprocessed food, movement, sunlight, soil health, vaccine…
I can’t get over this graph. It explains so much. We should be spending more money on whole food and less money on healthcare costs (which are almost entirely from chronic disease).
The price of medium fries is higher than the price of a POUND of ground beef at the market ($5.15). When are we doing to dispense with the lie that it’s too expensive to be healthy? When are we going to realize that these fries being SNAP eligible drove the price up?
At first I thought this was fake but it’s actually real New McDonald’s fries sizes. The Medium Fry is now put inside one of the tiny bags and it’s even labeled “Medium Fries” right on the packaging This is absolutely ridiculous. The cost of this is $5.89 in parts of California
