Doctors hail a 'New golden age' with Trump and a healthier America.

The new administration's emphasis on health and wellness is being welcomed by many of America's doctors, with President Donald Trump back in the White House.

The MAHA initiative, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aims to enhance nutrition, remove toxins, safeguard natural environments, and combat chronic diseases, as stated on its website.

During the next four years, several physicians expect to see improvements on the health front, as they shared their hopes with Planet Chronicle Digital.

‘Return to community and family’

As Trump exits the White House, Dr. Marc Siegel, Planet Chronicle senior medical analyst, expressed his anticipation for a renewed emphasis on mental health.

""Social media overreach is contributing to the worsening mental health epidemic, particularly among our teens," he said to Planet Chronicle Digital."

"Connectivity is the best approach, and we should revert to a time of community and family values, according to Siegel, a clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health. I hope President Trump will highlight this."

"The best approach is connectivity, and a return to a time of community and family priorities."

The doctor believes that the new administration will prioritize pandemic preparedness, drawing from the experiences of COVID-19.

Siegel expressed hope for increased surveillance, biotechnology advancements, and AI usage in tracking threats.

The use of wearables in personalized medicine will be a focus in Trump's White House, according to Siegel's prediction.

Siegel suggested that by focusing on government efficiency and addressing health care instead of sick care, we could save hundreds of billions of dollars.

"He emphasized the importance of wellness, lifestyle, exercise, and diet, and declared a "war on ultraprocessed foods.""

‘Aspirational’ health and happiness

A family physician and diabetes specialist in Tennessee, Dr. Ken Berry, expressed his hope that Trump's presidency would usher in a new era of prosperity for American healthcare, dubbing it the "golden age of American health."

Berry, who assists patients in overcoming obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes, stated that for too long, the medical profession has been tainted by corporate profits, questionable research, silenced physicians, and misleading statements to the public.

Berry continued, "I hope to see a thoughtful re-evaluation of all existing research, the restoration of an unhindered doctor-patient relationship, the cessation of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, and an end to Big Food's misleading health claims."

The doctor urges a strong effort to educate Americans on healthy eating and lifestyle choices, as well as a renewed cultural value for the notion that health and happiness are attainable and desirable.

Public health prioritized

The new administration's objective to combat the increase in chronic illnesses, with a particular emphasis on addressing lifestyle factors and exposure to toxins, was commended by Dr. Robert Lufkin, a physician based in California and a professor of medicine at UCLA and USC.

He shared with Planet Chronicle Digital that he was excited about the administration's potential health actions in various areas.

The new administration plans to prioritize research on environmental triggers such as pesticides, industrial pollutants, and food additives, according to Lufkin.

He added that they also plan to advocate for transparency in corporate practices and stricter regulation of industries contributing to environmental degradation.

MAHA aims to enhance food safety and nutrition while minimizing exposure to harmful substances, as emphasized by Lufkin.

By controlling harmful substances such as artificial sweeteners, high-fructose corn syrup, and chemical additives in processed foods, this could be achieved, as stated.

Lufkin supports the administration's objective of limiting unhealthy foods in public assistance programs and promoting local and sustainable farming.

The doctor highlighted that shifting the health care system's emphasis from treatment to prevention is a crucial aspect of MAHA's agenda.

He emphasized the need to expand alternative and holistic therapies and educate the public on the significance of lifestyle changes, including exercise, nutrition, and stress management.

Lufkin stated that another objective is to reduce dependence on medication and promote the utilization of natural remedies and non-pharmaceutical approaches for common health issues.

The doctor commended the new administration's plans to combat corporate influence in healthcare and to scrutinize the pharmaceutical and chemical industries' values of prioritizing profits over public health.

Transparency in health care costs

Dr. Shana Johnson, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician in Scottsdale, Arizona, expressed her hope that the Trump administration would continue to develop its policy of enhancing price transparency for clinics, hospitals, health insurers, and pharmaceutical companies.

Americans have been overcharged and exploited for profit due to hidden prices that are manipulated many times over, as seen in the 1,000% markup of generic medications and the $5,000 cost of an emergency room visit for dehydration, according to the speaker.

The true value of a service is often concealed and manipulated, leaving consumers unaware of the cost basis.

She stated that she is observing more instances of price manipulation to give the impression that health insurance is covering services, but in reality, they are overcharging.

"Johnson continued, "If I pay for a mammogram outright, it's cheaper than using my health insurance. The same applies to generic drugs.""

Mental health resilience

The mental health crisis in America presents a "great opportunity" for the Trump administration to take action, says Jonathan Alpert, a psychotherapist in both Manhattan and Washington, D.C.

The Trump administration has an opportunity and responsibility to address mental health in a way that helps people build resilience, not just catering to political or cultural trends, as stated by him to Planet Chronicle Digital.

Alpert expressed his concern that the "woke" culture may unintentionally lead to a mental health crisis.

Alpert stated that although it is crucial to validate emotions and recognize systemic challenges, there is a rising tendency to overpathologize typical human difficulties and portray victimhood as a defining trait.

Alpert suggests emphasizing accountability and personal growth instead of highlighting individual traumas and identity-based grievances.

"We need policies that foster self-reliance and mental toughness while still offering support for those who genuinely struggle."

He stated that policies should promote self-reliance and mental resilience, while also providing assistance to those who truly require it.

Alpert hopes to see a commitment to mental health initiatives in Trump's administration that fosters both support and personal responsibility.

He stated that in addition to enhancing therapy access, it is crucial to tackle the impact of social media, divisive language, and identity politics on young people's self-esteem and psychological well-being.

"Allowing cultural narratives to control our approach to mental health can transform it into a political battleground rather than a platform for growth."

Alpert continued, stating that not all obstacles are traumatic, not all conflicts are harmful, and not all setbacks are caused by systemic oppression.

The psychotherapist believes that therapy should empower individuals to take control of their lives, cultivate resilience, and flourish in the face of challenges.

Prosperity through health

Dr. Brett Osborn, a Florida neurosurgeon and longevity expert, believes that the U.S. can expect "substantial improvements in public health" under the new administration of President Donald Trump.

He stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that a crucial requirement is a pledge to revamp healthcare policy to enhance its accessibility and affordability.

"To reduce insurance premiums, increase price transparency in hospitals, and ensure adequate care for families of all income levels, this could entail promoting competition in the health care market, improving hospital-level price transparency, and expanding coverage options."

Osborn hopes that the administration will address obesity by encouraging healthier food choices, providing clearer nutritional information, and promoting physical activity in schools.

He added that promoting better access to fresh, nutrient-rich foods in underserved areas could reduce diet-related illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease.

"Without health on an individual and national scale, the nation will continue to falter."

Osborn emphasizes the importance of preventive care instead of reactive measures.

Regular health screenings and wellness education campaigns could significantly reduce the burden of preventable diseases, he stated.

The new administration has the potential to prioritize health not just as a matter of policy, but as a cornerstone of national prosperity, as Osborn stated.

The doctor stated that the country will continue to struggle without individual and national health.

"Nevertheless, President Trump declared during his inauguration address, "America's decline will come to an end from this moment on.""
