Summary

253: In this special episode recorded live from the White House, I sit down with some of the most influential voices shaping the future of health in America to discuss the newly released Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report. Guests include Dr. Oz, Kyle Diamantas, Vani Hari, Anthony Geisler, Brigham Buhler, and Max Lugavere. We dive into key topics like food policy, GRAS regulations, Medicaid and SNAP reform, PBMs, Alzheimer’s research, and the push for preventative care, movement, and accountability in federal health initiatives. This is a behind-the-scenes look at how the MAHA coalition is working to make real change—and what it means for your health. Topics Discussed: What is the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report, and how does it aim to transform public health policy? How is the FDA planning to update GRAS regulations and food safety standards under the MAHA initiative? What changes are being proposed for Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP benefits to support preventative health care? Why are PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) under scrutiny, and how is the MAHA movement addressing prescription drug pricing? What are the latest findings on Alzheimer’s disease research, and how is fraudulent science being addressed in national policy?

0:00.0	Hi, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. Today I'm coming to
0:05.0	you live from the White House. Words I never thought I would ever say. This is such an
0:10.4	exciting day. I got invited to the White House because they are releasing a Maha report. So some of
0:17.3	you may remember that on February 13th, President Trump signed an executive order
0:22.1	establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission.
0:24.8	And then they put together this whole report.
0:26.9	And at 3 p.m. today, they are announcing the report.
0:29.5	And so this morning, I was invited to come to a Maha press room with many of our health administrators

1:10.5	And we talked about how he wants to make
1:12.4	America move again. There really hasn't been a lot of conversation around exercise and movement
1:17.2	in the Maha movement. And he is really looking to change that and bringing movement into the
1:21.7	Maha movement. So it was a great conversation. Of course, I sat down with my friend Vani Hari,
1:27.4	and we caught up about everything Maha. I heard, I sat down with my friend Vonie Hari, and we caught up about
