Calley Means, a top adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and key advocate for the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement, has resigned from his position in the Trump administration on October 22, 2026. In a statement posted on X, Means expressed respect for both President Trump and RFK but noted frustration over the lack of progress on advancing MAHA priorities. He had joined the White House early last year as a special government employee and later became a senior adviser to the Health and Human Services Department. Sources close to Means indicated that his final straw was the inability to make headway on establishing a federal definition for ultra-processed foods, one of his main goals. The MAHA movement has seen growing discontent over issues such as food security and regulation of chemicals like glyphosate used in Roundup by Bayer.
