Doctor Means did a brilliant job emphasizing proven biological health concepts to the narrow-minded politicians who seem to be constantly trying to politically divide this country.
I understand why Dr Means said vaccines save lives.. but do they really? Vaccines do not fit in with the biological model of good health. I suspect that continued independent research into vaccine safety will confirm they are more detrimentalto human health then they're alleged benefits
I am in my 70s and happened to read Good Energy, which motivated me to lose 20 lbs. I am at my college weight for the first time in fifty years. Yes, Dr. Means may have promoted some products in which she had a financial interest; I really do not care. She is very knowledgeable and an outstanding communicator. We all know that we should eat vegetables...what Dr Means does in her book is explain exactly WHY, at the cellular level. that is beneficial; and why fake food robs us of that nutrition and harms our systems. I am a grateful supporter; and I am baffled by the animosity generated herein.
She's an unqualified plant. Its a diversion bait and switch. We must to remove the liability protections that have been installed by Congress to protect the multibillion dollar pharmaceutical industries. This is the core issue. Eating junk food is voluntary, forced poisoning by injection to attend school is the fundamental problem. Removing the protections with drive lawsuits and expose the data that allegedly proves the "safe and effective" lie (there is none for both the US and Europe).
Great to hear. Imagine this nation having a top doctor whose focus is on HOLISTIC health! So many prayers and crossed fingers we don't have to imagine anymore, and Dr. Means is confirmed.
Casey Means wants wearables to solve the healthcare crisis. Not only is that a conflict of interest (look into her company "Levels"), it would enable the gov't to track your health, activity, diet, etc., and put another piece of the surveillance puzzle in place. She is NOT MAHA or MAGA - and is not qualified for this role. I am surprised this article is cheering her on!
"Casey Means wants wearables to solve the healthcare crisis" -- While that may be one component of her multi-pronged holistic approach (as outlined in the article), it will be voluntary, just as Fitbits, Apple watches, and other wearables are right now.
"...that[s] a conflict of interest (look into her company "Levels")" -- If confirmed, she has formally committed to step away from Levels and other private business roles for the express purpose of avoiding any conflicts of interest.
"she is not qualified for this role." -- She has an M.D. from Stanford Medical School, surgical residence experience, and years in the holistic health field.
Casey Means is the last person who should be appointed to anything having to do with medicine. She dropped out of her Residency program....meaning she is a quitter...meaning she has nad no real experience as a health care provider.
You (intentionally?) left out the very important context. She left her surgical residency after the 4th year (out of 5 total) because she became disillusioned with the conventional allopathic (aka sick-care, "pill for every ill") model, choosing instead to shift into holistic (whole-person) preventive, root-cause care, where she could make a much bigger contribution. The era of sick-care is over. Dr. Means will help advance this country toward TRUE health-care.
This entire thing was an excuse that catered to people who want to believe that you can treat an ear, nose or throat problem as the "whole body," whatever that means. ENT is a surgical specialty. They take out cancers and do other head and neck surgery. It is not pill oriented. It is cut and sew oriented. And why did it take her 4 years to figure this out. I really do not know what is on her mind but this story makes little to no sense other than that she sees more money in shifting her focus to telling people what they want to hear. She has never had the experience of being an independent doctor of any kind and is the last person who should hold that job.
"treat[ing] the 'whole body,' whatever that means." -- The fact you don't know what that means is the problem here. Perhaps do some research so you can make better informed opinions (and comments).
But being a doctor and have been through a residency I am relatively certain that this is NOT the reason she left nearly at the end of her program and locking her out of future income.
One reason that doctors leave programs at the end. with nothing to show is that the resident was so bad that the Department Chief was unwillin to recommend the person for Board Certification. When this happens the Resident is told to EITHER quit the program OR be fired. And because being fired will scar that person for just about any future job prospects in the medical profession, the party usually drops out and fabricates an excuse for leaving, which is what I suspect may have happened to her.
I'm a intractable disabled pain patient that replaced Rx Oxycontin 24 years ago and having all my medical records from Dr Michael H Moskowitz..he was brave to step up and write in my medical records about me replacing my Rx Oxycontin and 13 other Rx drugs with strong cannabis medicine. Patient Zero is the name he gave me... knowledge is power and it doesn't matter how you learn, just learn. Professor Dr Grinspoons book Marihuana The Forbidden Medicine taught me Rx HEROIN could be replaced by cannabis medicine? Was Rx Oxycontin equal to HEROIN? Yes. So Dr Grinspoons book saved my life. I than taught Dr Moskowitz with Professor Dr Grinspoons and a different book from Jack Herer. Google Jack Herer the Man... not the strain. Dr Moskowitz wrote his book Medical Cannabis in 2017. He can be see in CBD Nation the movie. Dr Moskowitz retired 2021. Pain is still here... when will others learn from Patient Zero John Prinz. Oh you just did. So to have a podcast... I have 34 years of pain to talk about and what you can do for it. Put down the Opiates. They not ever coming back.
Who is tired of the Old? It's great to see a younger face... knowledge she has. I hope see as a open mind to what the Future Opiate Replacement drug is... Schedule 3 marijuana. I hope someone will bring the pain patients this replacement so they can stop looking for street fentanyl. American Doctors can't give out opiates like they once did... it's like they lost their supply... because of US Senator Feinstein and the DEA stopped RX OXYCONTIN with letters to all the Doctors and Pharmacist... The years was 2015.... these Doctors and Pharmacist fear the DEA and had to stop or lose their freedom... Doctors and Pharmacist love money and freedom. This is why in 2026 even when President Trump changed the schedule of marijuana to a schedule 3 Dec 18th 2025. No Doctor is writing a prescription for marijuana. Why? They fear the DEA and until these spineless Doctors hear this from a Drug Rep....
No Doctor will write a prescription for Rx Epodoilex CBD medicine. Has anyone heard of off label drugs. I have been disabled with Intractable pain for 34 years. I understand our health care system better than anyone Doctor. I don't fear the DEA, I'm Patient Zero that survived the Oxycontin eppadmic and replaced Rx Oxycontin with strong cannabis medicine I drink in Mgs. Marijuana Heals Oxycontin kills. And who funded the Opiate epidemic? Tax payers.
When addressing the silos of our medical system, the disconnect between oral/dental health also needs to be brought into the light. I have personally experienced the long-term chronic dysfunction of what I now know have largely been because of unaddressed dental infections and cavitations ignored by dentists as simply “treatable” “periodontal disease” without looking for the root cause, which I found to be precisely the issue. Discovered were incomplete root clean outs leading to infection and bone cavitations and worse, a wisdom tooth extraction that failed to remove the root tip, leading to a decades-long infection. Are physicians and dentists not taught the correlation between oral infections and the rest of our physiological health or illness? Is everything above the neck not a part of our total body and thus shouldn’t it be included in, not only our overall health assessments and diagnoses, but as a vital part of the body to be included in our “health insurance”? Why should we have to buy separate “dental insurance” when the mouth and teeth and jaw are so intricately interconnected to our overall health? This disconnect prevents physicians from working toward root cause of many chronic health issues, and the expense of dental insurance, which many dentists don’t even accept, and the ensuing financial strain of high quality dental care creates hesitancy for patients to adequately manage their oral health other than simply the necessary cleanings and routine “care”. Medicare, which seniors have paid into their entire working lives, covers very little “dental health” at a time when it is most important to preserving quality of health. I’m a bit cynical, but can’t help but wonder if this is deliberate as it provides lifelong profit for both silo industries vs corroborating to reveal root cause of overall health issues. Neither makes money from healthy patients. I have never had a physician ask me about my dental health and conversely, the only question I get from mainstream dentists is do I have any heart issues. This tells me they do know the connections of the oral situation with relation to the rest of the body. I finally found a biological dentist who starts from the whole body analysis and with technology that has been available for years, exposes the infections and cavitation through a CBCT scan (3D compared to basic 2D x-rays) Imagine your immune system trying to manage infection in another part of your body for decades with no treatment, treatment which I discovered to be pretty simple once its existence is acknowledged. I’m recovering in Costa Rica as I type this, because the expense in the US for this cleanup work is out of reach for middle class people and Medicare won’t touch it because it’s not “mainstream” yet. I am here to tell you, I have suffered for decades from debilitating fatigue, fibromyalgia, adrenal stress and high cortisol levels since that root tip was left during an impacted wisdom tooth extraction at 21 - I’m now 65. Physicians look at my bloodwork and tell me I have chronic inflammation, but pose no further questions or ideas that might lead to understanding why; certainly they never have once questioned an unaddressed dental infection. I had an emergency tooth extraction this past November that apparently released toxins from these infections into my system and left me almost bedridden. Because I had found and adopted, as a last resort to support my system best as I could, the Pompa Program for cellular detox, I learned about biological dentistry, an emerging trend that does look for root cause in dental infections. Amazingly, the day after I had the surgery to remove the infections and sanitize the bone cavitations, I woke up without any bodily muscle or joint pain. My immune system had been so overburdened that other systems were already breaking down. This should not be the case; the health of our mouths and jaws are a vital part of our overall health and I have to believe millions are living less than quality lives because they have no idea of the dental infections dragging them down and stealing their vitality. I truly believe you will not know the complete picture of your overall health until you have a CBCT (3D cone beam scan). Dentists use them no to ensure they choose the correct length for an implant post, but either they were not trained to use them to confirm overall dental health or show latent infections leading to bone loss and subsequent tooth loss, or they know fully well that using them for this purpose would undercut their future potential revenues for ongoing “treatment” of periodontal disease. Let that sink in. if true, this means your dentist, who is supposed to be concerned for your health, is deliberately allowing you to suffer ill dental health which can be detrimental to your overall health for the success of their practice and livelihood. I pray I’m wrong, but look at what we’re discovering about so many of the institutions we once believed we could trust. Be your own health advocate; find a biological/holistic dentist, through IAOMT.org, and have a $200 3D Cone Beam scan (CBCT). It will either confirm your health is not being diminished by dental infections or it could, once you know the truth, save your life. God Bless.
Yes. I don’t agree with her stance on vaccines. They have NOT done ANY good and have done GREAT HARM which will follow the lives of all those who took them. A generation of no vaccines must pass before those crippling consequences will be out of our systems, but not only the systems of this generation but from the generations coming from this generation. Those who come out of those who have been crippled will also suffer sub optimal health tools to live their best lives. This goes on for several generations; some say 7, but no one knows how many. Your grandparent’s health affects your health back through more than just their’s. How do you make robust, optimistic people from the slag heap of years of aggressive abuse?
The FDA and CDC (ie HHS) under Kennedy control vaccine policy, not the Surgeon General. Dr. Means has long criticized the number and timing of vaccines on the childhood schedule, and as this article also states, she supports continued research into the safety and efficacy of vaccines, as well as shared patient/doctor decision-making, both of which MAHA is implementing.
Doctor Means did a brilliant job emphasizing proven biological health concepts to the narrow-minded politicians who seem to be constantly trying to politically divide this country.
I understand why Dr Means said vaccines save lives.. but do they really? Vaccines do not fit in with the biological model of good health. I suspect that continued independent research into vaccine safety will confirm they are more detrimentalto human health then they're alleged benefits
I am in my 70s and happened to read Good Energy, which motivated me to lose 20 lbs. I am at my college weight for the first time in fifty years.

Vegetables are ridiculously overrated, especially when looking at humans from an evolutionary perspective.
She's an unqualified plant. Its a diversion bait and switch.

"She's an unqualified plant. Its a diversion bait and switch." -- How so? And to what end?
I had hope she would go back into obscurity. She should not be in the position.
Why not? She is more than qualified.
In what specific ways? And where was she for years before she slithered out to push her overpriced health device?
Where were ANY former health officials before they rose into the public sphere? Being an entrepreneur is not a disqualifier.
I agree with most of what she says.
That’s just it. As so many she rides out of nowhere and SAYS the right things then slunks away.
Sounds like she wants to join with MAHA
Better than Pete Hegseth...

I find all of her photos alarmingly saccharine, staged and not believable. Sorry, I'm out.
She’s a rock star and meets the moment.

Any more suspicions and negativity for us this morning, Gumbo?
I am really surprise by the many negative comments. Of course she is qualified. And we are lucky to have her.
Finally, we will be lucky to get her on the MAHA Team.
I smell a toxic rat here. How Kennedy and MAHA are spot on at times and so deceived here? What a web we weave.
Please elaborate.
