Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), is spearheading the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement, aiming to reform American health policy through improved nutrition, toxin elimination, natural habitat preservation, and chronic disease combat, with support from a diverse group of influencers and medical professionals.
Following his endorsement of Trump and joining the campaign in late 2024, Kennedy's appointment was announced a week after Election Day 2024, with his confirmation hearing occurring in late January 2025. The MAHA movement, which Nicole Saphier, M.D., initiated with her 2020 book, has garnered support from figures like Jessica Reed Kraus, Marla Maples, Jillian Michaels, and Dr.
Mehmet Oz, who Trump also selected as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). These advocates emphasize alternative health treatments, food system reform, and preventive medicine, signaling a significant shift in federal health priorities.
Calley Means co-founded TrueMed, a company helping Americans use HSAs and FSAs for preventative health, aligning with MAHA's goals.
