casey means surgeon general
 

By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday nominated Dr. Casey Means, a holistic medicine doctor, wellness influencer and supporter of the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement, to serve as surgeon general. 

The move came after Trump at the last minute pulled the nomination of his previous choice, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat. 

Trump made the announcement in a post on Truth Social, praising Means’ “impeccable ‘MAHA’ credentials” and stating she will work closely with U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans.”
