Casey Means, Surgeon General Nominee, Goes Into Labor Ahead of Senate Hearing
Dr. Casey Means’s confirmation hearing was postponed after she went into labor, delaying her first appearance since President Trump nominated her five months ago. The surgeon general role is largely symbolic, yet Means has positioned herself as a disruptive voice, criticizing mainstream medicine, promoting functional medicine, and coauthoring the 2024 bestseller Good Energy with her brother, adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She questions vaccine schedules, pushes lifestyle-first care, and has endorsed wellness products, though filings show she will step back and divest from Levels. Kennedy and HHS defended her qualifications; Trump previously withdrew nominee Janette Nesheiwat.
