President Trump wants Dr. Casey Means to be the main health advisor for the country.
Trump wrote online on Wednesday that Means is very good for his "Make America Healthy Again" plan. He said she will work to stop serious illnesses and make Americans healthier and happier.
"Her studies and her work are very good," Trump said. "Dr. Casey Means could be a very good Surgeon General for the United States."
Because of this, Trump decided not to choose Janette Nesheiwat for the job. She used to talk about health on Fox News. This was the second time Trump stopped someone he chose for a health job from being approved by the Senate. Janette Nesheiwat was going to speak to a Senate group on Thursday to see if they would approve her.
Means and her brother helped Kennedy when he wanted to be president. Then, they helped him support Trump.
Casey Means has not worked in government before. She also stopped her training to become a surgeon because she did not like traditional medicine anymore. She started a company called Levels. This company uses technology to help people check their blood sugar and other health numbers. Casey also makes money from selling health products like pills, creams, and teas. She advertises these products on her social media.
In talks and writings, Means and her brother say that many things make people in the country unhealthy. For example, big food companies make Americans eat bad food. This makes people need medicine every day from drug companies for problems like being too fat, diabetes, and other sicknesses that don't go away.
Most doctors agree that the food Americans eat, which has a lot of processed things, is a reason why people are overweight and have other health problems. But Means says more. He thinks that changes in how people eat and live are connected to many health issues, like not being able to have children, memory problems, feeling very sad, and problems with sex.
Many health problems that doctors treat happen because our cells are hurt by the way we live, Means said in a book she wrote with her brother in 2024.
Means has mostly avoided Kennedy's ideas about vaccines that many people don't agree with and are not true. But on her website, she says we should look into how safe vaccines are more. She also thinks it should be simpler for people to take medicine companies to court if they are harmed by vaccines. Since the late 1980s, a rule has protected these companies from being sued. This was to help them make vaccines without worrying about expensive court cases.
She studied to be a doctor at Stanford University. But she became famous online because she spoke against common medical ideas. She tells people to eat healthy food and change their habits to help with being overweight, having diabetes, and other long-term illnesses.
If Means becomes the main doctor for the country, he would help with Kennedy's big plan called MAHA. This plan wants to take out many extra things from food in the U.S. It also wants to stop government workers from having conflicts of interest. And it wants to help schools and other programs give healthier food.
Nesheiwat is a doctor in New York and often talks about health on TV. She likes Trump and puts pictures of them together on the internet. Her sister is married to Mike Waltz, and Trump wants him to work for him at the United Nations.
But Laura Loomer, who supports Trump, did not like her. Loomer wrote online this week that the person in this job should not support the COVID vaccine. She also said this person should not have a problem with a medical case and should have studied medicine in the US.
Last month, a journalist named Anthony Clark said Nesheiwat got her medical degree from a university in St. Maarten. But she said she got it from a different university in Arkansas. The White House stopped her job offer because people were not sure if it was true. Someone who knows why said this.
Nesheiwat wrote online on Wednesday: "I am happy to keep helping President Trump and work closely with Secretary Kennedy in an important job. I want to help make America healthy again! My main goal is still to help all Americans be healthy and feel good, and that job has not changed."
The surgeon general is seen as the country's main doctor. They are responsible for 6,000 health workers and can issue warnings about public health dangers.
In March, Dave Weldon stopped trying to be the head of the Centers for Disease Control. Some important politicians were worried because he wasn't sure about vaccines. He stopped because the White House said he wouldn't get enough support to get the job.
