For all its flaws, the recent MAHA Report has set some ambitious and worthy goals for children’s health. But the MAHA movement’s lofty goals are at odds with the Trump administrations MAGA priorties and policies (Image: RFK Jr & Donald Trump, Aug 2024, Gage Skidmore/Wikimedia Commons)
Early on in the recent MAHA Report on children’s health, its authors unwittingly reveal a glaring contradiction at the heart of the alliance between Robert Kennedy, Jr’s, Make America Healthy Again movement, and Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda.
It’s a contradiction that’s even more troublesome, though less headline-grabbing, than the MAHA committee’s carelessness with research citations (we’ll get to that in a minute).
The
report states that: “During this administration, we will begin reversing the
childhood chronic disease crisis by confronting its root causes—not just its
symptoms. This means pursuing truth, embracing science, and enacting pro-growth
policies and innovations to restore children’s health.”
(This article was adapted for Holistic Primary Care from “5 Myths About Olive Oil on Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s website). There is an old Cretan saying: “Το λάδι είναι το αίμα της γης.” It means, “Olive oil is the blood of the earth.” That tells us a lot, about both the inherent richness of olive oil, and the […]
Mangos. They’re cheery, packed with vitamin C and other nutrients, and though they’re quite sweet, they can improve insulin sensitivity in people at risk of type 2 diabetes. That’s the upshot of a recent clinical trial from researchers at the Clinical Nutrition Research Center at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Katherine Pett and colleagues studied […]
Join resbiotic’s Kara Siedman, RDN,
CDCES, for a science-driven look at the Gut–X Axis—an emerging framework that
highlights the gut microbiome’s influence on the lungs, digestive system, and
metabolism.
This session will cover how dysbiosis
and microbial metabolites drive systemic inflammation and chronic disease, with
a focus on gut-lung and gut-metabolic crosstalk.
Rooted in the latest research, we’ll
introduce the clinical rationale behind resbiotic’s precision-formulated
probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics developed by physician-scientists to
restore targeted balance via the Gut–X Axis.
If you’re looking to expand your knowledge of gut-organ communication, or you want to learn how to apply microbiome strategies in practice, this webinar delivers actionable insights to support better clinical outcomes.
Understand the fundamentals of the Gut–X Axis, and how the gut microbiome influences systemic health through gut-organ communication pathways
Explore the Gut–Lung and Gut–Metabolic Axes and their roles in chronic inflammation and disease progression
Learn how resbiotic’s targeted formulations are designed to support balance across these interconnected systems
Discover practical strategies for integrating precision microbiome support into clinical protocols to enhance patient outcomes
