Casey Means, a Stanford-educated physician who rose to popularity as a wellness influencer after becoming disillusioned with traditional medicine, will face senators Thursday as she seeks approval to be the nation’s surgeon general.
Means, who is pregnant, is set to appear virtually for her confirmation hearing before the Senate health committee. She is expected to share a vision for ending chronic disease by targeting its root causes, an idea that aligns with the Make America Healthy Again message of her close ally, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
