President Trump nominated Dr. Casey Means, a wellness influencer and former surgeon, as the next U.S. surgeon general. Means, who advocates for functional medicine and has expressed vaccine skepticism, rose to prominence within the "Make America Healthy Again" movement. Her views align with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., focusing on combating chronic disease and promoting healthier food choices. Means' medical license is currently inactive, and her background includes work as a guest lecturer and app co-founder. Her nomination follows the withdrawal of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat.
