They Engineered Your Food to Make You Addicted (INSIDER SCOOP) | Calley Means
Could firing one group of people save American healthcare?
Why are Americans sicker, more medicated, and spending more on healthcare than any other nation—yet seeing the worst outcomes? Could it be that our entire health system is built on a lie?
In this eye-opening episode of The Dr. Axe Show, discover the shocking truth about how ultra-processed food, pharmaceutical lobbying, and corrupted science have created a crisis of chronic disease in America—and meet the whistleblower trying to stop it.
Calley Means, co-founder of the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and former insider in the food and pharma industries, joins the show to reveal how a few powerful organizations are manipulating what we eat, how we treat illness, and how health policy is made. He’s not just exposing the problems—he’s helping redesign the future of medicine.
Calley Means has worked deep inside the corporate systems driving modern healthcare and food policy. Now, he's leading a nationwide movement to reform it. His insider experience gives him a unique ability to expose the truth—and propose real solutions.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why the Food Pyramid wasn’t a mistake—it was a deliberate act of corporate lobbying
- How the same companies that sold cigarettes in the ‘80s now control your food
- Why the FDA doesn't even know how many chemicals are in the U.S. food supply
- How childhood diseases like autism, obesity, and diabetes are being worsened by current policy
- What Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is doing right now to revolutionize healthcare from the inside out
- Why changing leadership, not just policy, is the fastest path to a healthier America
- How AI, functional medicine, and metabolic tracking could redefine personal health in the next decade
If you want to understand what’s really making Americans sick, and what can be done about it, this episode is a must-listen. You’ll walk away with clarity, hope, and a roadmap for reclaiming your health and your future.
