Under President Trump’s leadership, common sense, scientific integrity, and accountability have been restored to federal food and health policy. For decades, the Dietary Guidelines favored corporate interests over common-sense, science-driven advice to improve the health of Americans. That ends today. The new Dietary Guidelines call for prioritizing high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—and avoiding highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates.

.@HHSGov is delivering on another @POTUS priority: advancing animal welfare. @NIH is putting $150 million behind human-based research to reduce reliance on animal models. Thank you @peta for supporting the Trump administration's goal of ending animal cruelty.

Congratulations to HHS Deputy Chief FOIA Officer William F. Holzerland on his induction this week in the FOIA Hall of Fame. Bill is a nationally recognized leader in the field of government transparency, and before coming to HHS helped stand up and modernize other federal agency FOIA programs. The FOIA Hall of Fame was founded in 1996 and is comprised of 70 individuals with significant career accomplishments in advancing the federal Freedom of Information Act. Bill Holzerland receives this honor on the 60th anniversary of FOIA, a law that provides the public access to government records.

.@DrOzCMS on new efforts to root out fraud in healthcare, such as durable medical equipment supplier fraud, and personal care services fraud: "It makes it much more expensive to get healthcare in America, especially for our most vulnerable."

Some FDA decisions are taking WEEKS. Thank you to the dedicated FDA scientists who are making this unprecedented efficiency possible.

Today: another action to stop unnecessary animal testing. We can do better.

.@DrOzCMS: You have states, red and blue, who are suffering because the rules were lax and weak and fraudsters took advantage of them—but we're onto them and we're going after them. Los Angeles has 1/3 of all hospice centers in the entire country. These are impossible numbers.

Hospice fraud isn’t just about stealing your tax dollars – in some cases it’s about stealing your life. Federal and state authorities raided this illegal hospice ring in southern California earlier this month, but there are plenty more like it. We won’t rest until seniors and taxpayers are safe.

Proud to stand with @USDA @SecRollins as we expand access to healthier, nutrient-dense foods for families across our great nation. We are putting real choices back in the hands of the American people and confronting chronic disease at its source.

NIH-funded researchers developed specialized immune cells, called CAR-T cells, that reduced signs of Alzheimer’s disease in mice. While still far from human use, the research suggests that this type of immunotherapy might one day help treat Alzheimer’s and other brain disorders. Read more: go.nih.gov/YwN8jio

Thrilled to welcome Arkansas as the 6th state to officially join A Home for Every Child. Grateful for the leadership of @SarahHuckabee and the vision of @FLOTUS in leading the Fostering the Future executive order - a game changer for children throughout the United States! @ACFHHS

In case you missed it, I testified this morning before the House Appropriations Subcommittee, sharing the value and impact of NIH-funded research. appropriations.house.gov/schedule/heari…

Pro tip: FDA-approved spirulina extract can be a great natural alternative to artificial petroleum-based green dyes.

Last week, I had the honor of speaking at the inaugural HHS National Conference on Women’s Health. Grateful to @HHSGov and the Office on Women’s Health for bringing these important conversations to the forefront. #WomensHealth #NCWH2026

For decades women were told to “just live with it.” That’s not health care—that’s neglect. That's why @HHSgov brought experts together for the National Women’s Health Conference to tackle heart disease, infertility, menopause and more. Healthier women mean stronger communities.
