Making It Awkward

Re-Grifting: Casey and Calley Means; Taking Truemed to the White House with Selena Salfen, MPH, RDN


Listen Later

Selena Selfan, MPH, RD is back for the next installment in the re-grifting series! She is the resident Means Siblings Scholar and talks to host Jessica Wilson, MS RD about her deep dive! Dr. Casey Means is currently the presumptive nominee for Surgeon General. Her brother Calley Means is a special advisor to RFK Jr and cofounder of Truemed. The two are fervent MAHA supporters and foot soldiers in RFK’s fight. 

Listeners will learn about the Means siblings’s upbringing and the love and support for their parents. And then plot twist: their father, Grady Means wrote a gender expansive children's book. 

Selena shares how Cassie has evolved in her career, and spits Calley’s facts like a pro. The two talk about the grift of the Means siblings and Selena’s prediction for Calley’s future. 

The Means siblings have direct connections to Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Andrew Huberman, our first and second grifters. Stay tuned for the next one about Dr. Paul Saladino.
