76% Informative

Dr. Casey Means is a physician-turned-wellness influencer with close ties to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Means and her brother, former lobbyist Calley Means , served as key advisers to Kennedy ’s 2024 presidential bid and helped broker his endorsement of Trump last summer .

Means has no government experience and dropped out of her surgical residency program, saying she became disillusioned with traditional medicine.

Means makes money from dietary supplements, creams, teas and other products sponsored on social media accounts.

Nesheiwat earned her medical degree from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine in St. Maarten.

The surgeon general oversees 6,000 U.S. Public Health Service Corps members and can issue advisories that warn of public health threats.

The White House pulled her nomination because of doubts about her confirmation prospects, a source says.
