Meryl Nass was an internal medicine physician in Maine until her license was suspended for treating COVID patients with alternative protocols and warning the public about the side effects of COVID vaccines.  She founded Door to Freedom and now works as a writer and activist. Meryl warns of the dangers of a modern environment filled with petro chemicals such as glyphosate and other potential solvents found in everything from kitchen wear to clothing, and she shares what we can do to protect ourselves. She also discusses the possibility of liability shields and what that means for Americans.

Calley Means, Senior Adviser in Office of Secretary at HHS, discusses with Jennifer and Jay how he came to be one of MAHA’s most effective leaders and one of Secretary Kennedy’s most trusted confidants. He discusses MAHA’s biggest successes of the past year and what the road ahead looks like as well as some of the biggest challenges that lie ahead.

Restoring American Wellness (RAW) is a new podcast from the Heritage Foundation exploring the ideas, debates, and policy questions shaping the future of health and well‑being in the United States. Hosted by Jennifer Galardi and Jay Richards, the show brings together researchers, practitioners, and public figures to examine how health policy affects all Americans and institutions across the country under the timeless principles of limited government, the role of civil society, and the necessary foundations of family and community. 

Each episode features in‑depth conversations with some of the most prominent voices within the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement. Guests will cover a wide range of perspectives and experiences, with an emphasis on careful analysis rather than trendy slogans and fads. From debates surrounding childhood vaccine schedules to federal food and nutrition reform,  mental health challenges to agriculture - no topic is off limits. The podcast will also examine broader structural issues in the U.S. health care system and the tradeoffs embedded in policy decisions. 

Restoring American Wellness aims to provide listeners with thoughtful, substantive conversations that encourage deeper understanding of one of the most consequential policy arenas of our time.
