Strapping for this one, it's going to be a lot. I've covered Cali Means a bunch on this podcast,

0:10.4

but here's a quick refresher. He's a former food and pharma lobbyist who cut his teeth as a Heritage Foundation intern.

0:19.2

At some point in 2021, he had an awakening, along with his sister,

0:24.5

Casey Means, who is the current Surgeon General nominee. Together, they wrote a best-selling book,

0:30.8

Good Energy, and that book pins most diseases on metabolic disease, despite the fact that

0:37.2

neither have any endocrinology training.

0:40.5

Kelly has no medical training whatsoever. The book did help catapult them the fame, and they've

misinformation about his own company, TrueMed. Quick review again, TrueMed lets consumers use

FSA and HSA, that's flexible savings account and health savings account, money to buy a

2:00.1

wide range of untested wellness products,

2:03.0

including supplements, ice baths, red light therapy devices.

2:08.3

Callie regularly says he found a loophole in that system,

2:12.4

though the IRS disagrees when they sent out a letter last year

2:16.1

warning people not to purchase things like

2:19.7

supplements from these companies. TrueMed calls the products on its site true health care,
