Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Dr. Casey Means is scheduled to appear before the Senate Wednesday to discuss her confirmation to become surgeon general.
Means, 38, a friend of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., wellness influencer and Make America Healthy Again advocate, was scheduled to appear in October before the Senate Health, Education Labor and Pension Committee virtually because she was pregnant with her first child. But it was postponed because she went into labor.
Her brother, Calley Means, is a lobbyist and senior adviser to the Health and Human Services Department.
She attended Stanford University for undergrad and medical school. She published a 2024 book, Good Energy, in which she described quitting her residency at Oregon Health and Science University. She had completed almost all of the five-year residency but said she was disillusioned with modern medicine. She advocates for healthy eating, limited pharmaceutical use and alternative remedies.
