Health entrepreneur and advocate for making America healthy again, Casey Means, has been nominated for the position of U.S. surgeon general following the sudden withdrawal of the previous nominee by President Trump. Dr. Means, a medical doctor and author, is known for running a holistic wellness blog and co-founding the health tech company Levels. She is also the sister of Calley Means, who serves as an adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Both sisters have emerged as influential figures in the MAHA movement, with Casey leveraging her medical expertise to drive the cause forward.
The initial nominee for the role of surgeon general, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a medical doctor and Fox News contributor, faced backlash in the weeks leading up to her scheduled appearance before a Senate committee. Criticism arose due to her previous online statements supporting Covid vaccination and mask-wearing during the pandemic. Additionally, it was revealed by CBS News that Dr. Nesheiwat obtained her medical degree from a Caribbean institution, contrary to her claim of graduating from the University of Arkansas School of Medicine.
As the nomination process undergoes a transition, the spotlight now shines on Dr. Casey Means as a potential candidate for the esteemed position of U.S. surgeon general. Her background in holistic wellness and health technology brings a fresh perspective to the forefront of public health discourse. With a focus on promoting overall well-being and preventive healthcare measures, Dr. Means’ nomination signals a shift towards a more comprehensive approach to addressing healthcare challenges in the country.
