Wellness influencer picked by Trump for surgeon general faces Senate grilling

Casey Means, Donald Trump's controversial nominee for Surgeon General, faces a Senate confirmation hearing after a prior postponement. Means, a Stanford School of Medicine graduate, lacks board certification, an active medical license, and completion of her surgical residency. Her experience centers on wellness influencing and promoting metabolic health, a key aspect of the Trump administration's health policy. Means co-authored "Good Energy," advocating for diet and lifestyle changes over traditional medical interventions. She also co-founded Levels, a health tracking company. While not explicitly anti-vaccine, Means has expressed skepticism about the number of vaccines recommended for children, aligning with views held by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
