A series of tumultuous health policy changes seem to have shaken faith in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s quest to tackle chronic disease and question science.

Fifty-nine percent of Americans now disapprove of the Health and Human Services secretary’s performance, according to a KFF poll released last week.

And six surgeons general from Democratic and Republican administrations, including President Donald Trump’s first term, say he is “endangering the health of the nation.” Jerome Adams, Trump’s surgeon general from his first term, even said he should be fired.

Dr. Casey Means, Trump’s nominee for the post, would play a key role in trying to convince Americans that Kennedy is, in fact, “Making America Healthy Again.”

Young, Stanford-educated and a medical doctor, Means is well-connected to the MAHA movement as the author of a best-selling book, “Good Energy,” a wellness entrepreneur and a close Kennedy ally.

She has also questioned established science, but casts that stance as one of empowerment – telling people they should take charge of their own health and push for answers.

And the 38-year-old Means has important backers. Besides Kennedy, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and his wife Katie Miller, a former Trump spokesperson turned podcaster, are early allies in the second administration.

“It was becoming a new mom, I would say, that radicalized me in the health space,” Katie Miller told CNN. “That’s when I came across Casey and Calley and their book, ‘Good Energy.’ And kind of used it like my food Bible.”

Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles was also influenced by the message of “Good Energy,” two sources familiar with the White House dynamics said.
