That was a lot. I need to lie down. Is the room ready?

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and today's Double Feature special episode. Today, two health and wellness conversations. First, with Dr. Marty Makary, back when he was the head of the FDA on the MAHA priorities of the administration. And then functional medicine doctor, Mark Hyman, co-founder of Function Health, a really important conversation here in the studio. Enjoy, and we'll see you Monday.
We are at the FDA today, speaking with the new commissioner, Dr. Marty Makary. I got to tell you, it was freaky walking into this building, because they've been so demonized, they've demonized themselves over the whole COVID regime and the craziness of the past five years to walk in here and like look around, like these are some of the people who participated in this, is sort of eerie. But the good news is, there's a new sheriff in town. And Dr. Marty Makary is the real deal. He's a surgeon, scientist, has devoted his life to public health. He's the son of a doctor. He's a doctor. He's at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was performing surgery right up to the day he went in and started this job the day before. So he's had a lifelong interest in medicine and in public health more generally, and has been very honest about things that are controversial, like COVID, and was an early seer on the things that the medical establishment was doing wrong, and was totally fearless in speaking out against it with absolutely nothing to gain and actually a lot to lose. And that is how he became one of the trusted voices, along with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford, who's running NIH. And of course, then there's Bobby Kennedy, not a doctor, but a lawyer who is atop them all as he runs HHS. So this is Dr. Makary's first interview as FDA commissioner. And there was a lot to cover, like how is he going to deal with the people here who can't stand any of the men I just mentioned, not to mention President Trump? And how are we going to actually start enacting the MAHA agenda that Kennedy and Trump and others have been pushing and talking about for so long when it comes to our food, never mind our drugs? There's a lot to go over, including the corruption that has gone on here for a long time, with the revolving door of people working here, approving drugs and then immediately going to work at those drug companies. Working here and working with Big Pharma as they together decide whether the latest drug should be approved. He's all over it. We get into all of it. Enjoy.
Commissioner.

**Dr. Marty Makary** (3:53)
Megyn Kelly, great to see you.

**Megyn Kelly** (3:54)
I mean, you were just on my set and you were just doctor. And now look at you. You could have stayed in the private sector, kept rolling in pretty good money.
And you decided to take this job, which is an amazing thing for America. But why?

**Dr. Marty Makary** (4:09)
Well, welcome to the FDA, Megyn. It's great to have you out here.
You know, we are not on a good path as a country in terms of the health outcomes of the population. We do great with sophisticated operations and amazing drugs that can treat certain kinds of lymphoma and other types of cures. But when it comes to the health of the population right now, we have had this massive area that we're not talking about that we need to be talking about, and that is the rise of all these chronic diseases. We've got one in six women now affected with autoimmune diseases. Half of kids are sick, pre-diabetes affects about 20% of teens, 70% of kids are not qualifying for the military. So we've got to start talking about our problems and not just keep throwing medications at them.
