The Cult of MAHA
About this episode
The episode explores the Cult of MAHA, a movement blending wellness and politics, with insights from guest Doctor Mike on its implications and misinformation.
What do seed oils, vaccine skepticism, beef tallow, and a guy with a dead bear in Central Park have in common? Welcome to the Cult of MAHA. This week, Amanda, Reese, Chelsea, and Iman dive headfirst into the increasingly influential world of Make America Healthy Again, the wellness-meets-politics movement promising cleaner food, healthier kids, and freedom from Big Pharma. But where does legitimate criticism of America's healthcare system end and pseudoscience begin? And how did a movement that started with organic groceries and food dyes end up helping measles make a comeback? Joining us is physician, internet educator, and professional misinformation debunker Doctor Mike (@doctor.mike) to help us separate fact from fiction, unpack RFK Jr.'s growing influence, and examine why so many otherwise smart, well-meaning people are getting pulled into the MAHA rabbit hole. Put down the raw milk, step away from the parasite cleanse, and join us as we ask: Is MAHA making America healthy "again"... or just making conspiracy theories easier to swallow?
