How RFK Jr. Is Helping His Newly Elevated MAHA Minions Cash In
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s high-profile government position is paying huge dividends for the Make America Healthy Again supporters he’s brought into the fold.
While Kennedy publicly vowed to avoid conflicts of interest in his work at Health and Human Services (HHS), he hasn’t shied away from boosting the network of alternative health influencers and entrepreneurs who backed his Cabinet nomination, The Wall Street Journal reports.
For instance, at an April presser announcing his ban on artificial food dyes, Kennedy appeared alongside prominent MAHA social media activist Vani Hari. Known online as “The Food Babe,” Hari owns a supplement and health bar brand called Truvani. After she delivered an impassioned speech in favor of RFK’s plan, Kennedy called her “an extraordinary leader.”. In March, Hari appeared alongside Kennedy and other “MAHA moms” in a video posted to the White House’s X account in which members of the group struggled to pronounce the scientific names of ingredients in processed food products.

Following Hari in the speaker list at Kennedy’s press conference was Dr. Mark Hyman, an author-entrepreneur who owns Function Health, a subscription-based biomarker testing program that costs $499 a year. Kennedy said that Hyman—another vocal MAHA advocate—has been his “friend and partner on these issues for 20 years” and praised his book The Blood Sugar Solution: 10-Day Detox Diet. The valuation of Hyman’s company has skyrocketed from $191 million in June 2024 to a staggering $2.5 billion in February of this year, according to PitchBook.
