PDT Podcast: Is "Make America Healthy Again" Helping Families? | Dr. Jessica Knurick & Nini Munoz

Is America REALLY less healthy than it used to be? Or is that just a myth? Lately, the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement has been romanticizing the past—but was it really a "healthier" time? 🤔 Higher infant mortality, shorter life expectancy, and limited medical advancements suggest otherwise. Today, I’m joined by Nini Munoz, Science & Risk Communicator, and Dr. Jessica Knurick, Dietitian & Nutrition Scientist, to break down: The myth of the 'healthier past'—why public health was worse, not better. Misinformation & fear-based narratives—how MAHA spreads harmful myths about vaccines, food, and disease. The real problem with food policy—why fixating on seed oils & food dyes distracts from real issues like ultra-processed food and food deserts. The wellness industry’s role—how influencers profit off fear with detoxes, supplements, and misinformation via predatory wellness. What actually improves health—real solutions like healthcare access, school lunch reform, and food subsidies. It’s time to stop falling for misguided nostalgia and start focusing on evidence-based solutions that actually improve public health. Tune in now!
