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.
