On March 18, 2025, the White House appointed Calley Means—a health entrepreneur, reform advocate, and trusted ally of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—as a special government adviser. Means will play a key role in advancing the administration’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda, with a focus on addressing the root causes of chronic illness through nutrition, food system reform, and public health transparency. His appointment underscores the administration’s commitment to bold, preventive strategies that prioritize long-term wellness over pharmaceutical dependency.
Means brings valuable experience to the role, having spent years exposing the influence of corporate interests in shaping national health outcomes. After working inside the system, he has become a powerful advocate for reform, helping to drive a national conversation on how food, industry, and policy intersect. As a key voice in Kennedy’s 2024 campaign and a leading architect of the MAHA movement, Means is uniquely positioned to help deliver transformative change to America's health system—putting people, not profits, at the center of public health policy.
