@Riley_Gaines_ @calleymeans 🔥🔥🔥 Now this is impressive!!

[Mark Hyman, M.D. @drmarkhyman]

I’m beyond thrilled to celebrate and congratulate my dear friend and close ally, @CaseyMeansMD on her nomination for Surgeon General of the United States.

This moment is not only historic, it’s deeply personal. Casey is one of the most courageous, nurturing, and pure-hearted humans I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.

She has poured her brilliance, compassion, and relentless dedication into the fight for a healthier, freer future for all of us.

Just 5 years ago, after reading my book on the broken food system, Food Fix, Casey made the bold decision to walk away from a prestigious surgical career and devote herself fully to the root-cause mission, to unearth and heal the true drivers of chronic disease and help reclaim health freedom for our nation.

Her conviction wasn’t abstract; it was total. And just 6 months ago, she showed up for me, literally, on Christmas Day in the hospital, when I was facing one of the darkest, most vulnerable moments of my life. She brought presence, love, and strength when I needed it most.

That’s who Casey is: someone who shows up, who listens deeply, who leads with her heart as fiercely as with her mind.Her nomination signals a new chapter, not just for public health, but for the soul of healthcare in America.

Casey embodies the kind of leadership we need: science-forward, root-cause focused, people-centered, and uncompromisingly ethical. There is no better person to carry this responsibility. And I can’t wait to see what she does next.

Congratulations, Casey. You are the future we’ve been waiting for.

Congratulations to @CaseyMeansMD for her nomination as Surgeon General! Given her knowledge of and commitment to ending the chronic disease epidemic in the US, she will do an excellent job making America healthy again.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

The absurd attacks on Casey Means reveal just how far off course our healthcare conversations have veered, and how badly entrenched interests--including Big Food and its industry-funded social media gurus--are terrified of change.

Casey has excelled in every endeavor she has undertaken. She was President of her Stanford undergrad class, was a standout at Stanford Medical School, and was a top performer in surgical residency. She had the courage to leave traditional medicine because she realized her patients weren’t getting better.

The attacks that Casey is unqualified because she left the medical system completely miss the point of what we are trying to accomplish with MAHA. Casey is the perfect choice for Surgeon General precisely because she left the traditional medical system--not in spite of it. Her leadership has inspired many doctors to reform the system and forge a new path away from sick care, which fills corporate coffers, and toward health care, which enriches all of us.

After leaving traditional medicine, Casey started a company and wrote a New York Times best-selling book that empowered patients and helped launch the MAHA movement. This ability of Casey’s to inspire Americans to rethink our healthcare system is also an existential threat to the status quo interests, which profit from sickness.

The goal of MAHA is to reform the largest and most powerful industry in the United States. I have little doubt that these companies and their conflicted media outlets will continue to pay bloggers and other social media influencers to weaponize innuendo to slander and vilify Casey, the same way they try to defame me and President Trump.

But it will not work. Every day, I wake up emboldened to drive change because I know the support of MAHA moms has my back. Casey has played an integral role in galvanizing these moms.

Casey articulates better than any American the North Star of a country where we have eliminated diabetes, heart disease, and obesity through prioritizing metabolic health. Casey will help me ensure American children will be less medicated and better fed--and significantly healthier--during the next four years. She will be the best Surgeon General in American history.

@SecKennedy This is spectacular!!

[Brian Nickerson @BrianNickerson]

@SecKennedy YES @CaseyMeansMD !!!

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

The Surgeon General is a symbol of moral authority who stands against the financial and institutional gravities that tend to corporatize medicine. Casey Means was born to hold this job. She will provide our country with ethical guidance, wisdom, and gold-standard medical advice even when it challenges popular orthodoxies. She will be a juggernaut against the ossified medical conventions that have helped make our people the sickest in the world at the highest cost per capita. Casey is a breath of fresh air, and we can’t wait for her to get started at @HHSgov. Thank you, President Trump for nominating this outstanding woman.

[Dr. Marty Makary @DrMakaryFDA]

A true force of nature—@CaseyMeansMD is a genius physician who has educated millions of Americans about the real story on health. She is also one of the most caring people I have ever known. This is a great day in America.

Congratulations Casey! Can’t wait to have you on board!!
