Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, has twisted, harmful ideas about health. From restricting access to vaccines to restoring the often-humiliating presidential fitness test for kids, Amanda explains what’s really driving RFK Jr. and the MAHA moms who support his every move. This week’s guest is “How To Be Well” author and journalist Amy Larocca, who explains how the multibillion-dollar wellness industry has shaped thinking about health and bolstered the type of pseudoscience that MAHA moms and RFK Jr. cling to.
