@jpoGMI Lots of options from Vaclav Smil: energy and civilization, others.

Instead, she quit. They begged her to stay.

She was invited into her faculty’s homes for meals to discuss her concerns.

They gave her three months' paid leave in the hope she’d change her mind.

I have never known someone so clear about what matters to her —and so fearless in acting on it.

At the same time, her final year in residency, Casey was being recruited for surgical jobs that would pay over $600k.

Her department was encouraging her to pursue prestigious Endocrine surgery fellowships on the East Coast.

I honestly thought she should just do it for a few years, then venture off on her own later. She was so close to the finish line.

[Calley Means @calleymeans]

The media is trying to smear @CaseyMeansMD’s medical credentials.

Here is the truth about the “influencer” they’re afraid of. 🧵

Below is the official evaluation from the Associate Dean at @StanfoMed

“Exceptionally better than her peers; the BEST that [Stanford] has to offer”

[Jillian Michaels @JillianMichaels]

. @CaseyMeansMD graduated with HONORS as CLASS PRESIDENT from Stanford Medical School. She then trained for 4 years in HEAD AND NECK SURGERY.

She has held research positions at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Stanford University, New York University (NYU), and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU)

Served as an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention.

She has recieved NUMEROUS academic awards:
Young Alumnae Achievement Award

First Place Award for Excellence in Basic Science

Gold Humanism Honor Society

Excellence in Human Biology

She placed her Oregon medical license on inactive in 2024 because she isn't currently seeing patients. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot or has extremely bad intentions.

[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.

The folks at True have been incredible partners for me at @lexdotpage, so it's a dream to be able to help them find amazing founders to support

[True Ventures @trueventures]

Just finished our team retreat with a multi-day dive into the latest GenAI stack.

As @kevinrose posted on X and reiterated at our offsite:

“We saw software eat the world. Now AI eats software.”

AI is rewriting every sector we touch in venture. And Team True is here for it.

KRO added: “AI is a complete rewrite of the entire stack, soup to nuts. Now with AI, this is the time where the entire industry gets rewritten.”
