The Make America Healthy Again movement has taken over the Internet and spread lots of health misinformation. In this episode, Margo and Tashira track MAHA's rise, common health myths, and explore the science-driven structural changes needed in America's healthcare system. Overall, true change doesn't begin with overpriced individual solutions or $600 water filtration systems.
Health trends are everywhere—your feed is probably flooded with ads for supplements, powders, or “miracle” cures. In this episode, Margo and Tashira take a sledgehammer to the wellness industry’s latest obsessions, starting with the movement to “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA). They unpack how so much of what passes as “health advice” is less about evidence and more about marketing—storytelling that preys on our anxieties and wallets.
From $600 water filters to Instagram protein powders promising “toned” everything, the hosts call out the ways we’ve been conditioned to chase shiny solutions while ignoring the systems that keep people unhealthy in the first place. And then there’s the darker side: vaccine skepticism dressed up as “personal freedom,” which doesn’t just affect individuals but ripples across entire communities.
The heart of the conversation is this: wellness culture often convinces us that health is an individual hustle. But real health? It’s collective. It comes from structural changes—equitable access to care, affordable food, clean water—not from buying the latest influencer-pushed supplement.
This episode leaves you laughing at the absurdity of some trends, side-eyeing your own shopping cart, and re-energized to think about health beyond the hashtag.
“Real health isn’t about $600 water filters or Instagram powders—it’s about dismantling the systems that keep us stuck.”
