President Trump has pulled his nomination of Janette Nesheiwat to be U.S. surgeon general and has instead chosen chronic disease entrepreneur Casey Means, a physician with close ties to the “Make American Healthy Again,” or MAHA, movement, as his new pick to fill the role.

Nesheiwat’s credentials came into question last month when CBS News reported that records showed she had graduated from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, and not the University of Arkansas School of Medicine, as had been said when her nomination was announced.

The physician and former Fox News contributor also got on the wrong side of influential Trump supporters including MAGA influencer Laura Loomer.

The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions was scheduled to hold a hearing Thursday on Nesheiwat’s confirmation.

Means, a graduate of Stanford Medical School, is the sister of Calley Means, a close ally to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a special government employee at HHS. They are both high-profile proponents of Kennedy’s MAHA agenda.

“I am pleased to announce that Dr. Casey Means, will be nominated as our next Surgeon General of the United States of America. Casey has impeccable ‘MAHA’ credentials, and will work closely with our wonderful Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Her academic achievements, together with her life’s work, are absolutely outstanding,” he added. “Dr. Casey Means has the potential to be one of the finest Surgeon Generals in United States History. Congratulations to Casey!”

Trump wrote Nesheiwat would work in “another capacity at HHS.”

Casey Means is the co-founder of Levels, a health technology company that focuses on tracking health information through devices like continuous glucose monitors.

In a post on the social platform X, Calley Means wrote of his sister’s nomination, “I am so proud of her and know she will help the President and @SecKennedy change the world.”

He also reposted Casey Means’s interview with Joe Rogan in which she spoke about the prevalence of conditions like autism, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancers among Americans.

In that interview, she claimed these conditions were all caused by “metabolic dysfunction,” saying the answer was “obvious.”
