The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement has taken off ever since HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s first pitch for a healthier America.
MAHA aims to improve nutrition, eliminate toxins, preserve natural habitats and fight the chronic disease epidemic in this country, according to its website.
Since the slogan’s introduction in July 2024, many people — everyone from President Donald Trump to social media influencers nationwide — have embraced the widespread effort to improve public health.
Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President Trump and host of the new program “My View with Lara Trump” on Fox News, said the MAHA movement is “gaining momentum big time.”
“With RFK Jr. confirmed as our HHS secretary, we’re poised to learn so much more than I think we ever knew,” she said during an interview on Monday evening with Fox News Digital.
“And I think it’s going to encourage so many more people to start paying attention to their health and well-being. That’s a great thing for all of us,” she added.
Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News’ senior medical analyst, has also shared his support for MAHA.
“The focus will be on wellness, lifestyle, exercise and diet, along with a war on ultraprocessed foods,” he predicted in an interview with Fox News Digital.
