ake america healthy Again is not just a rallying cry embraced by the White House — it is


a philosophy Dr. Chauncey Crandall has incorporated into his medical treatment of thousands of patients over a 40-year career as a cardiologist. In his new book, MAHA: Make


America Healthy Again: A Blueprint for a Thriving Nation, the Ivy League-educated physician weaves decades of clinical practice, academic research, and real-world experience in preventative medicine into a road map for prevention, longevity, and wellness.


His message is straightforward:


Small, consistent changes can prevent, and in some cases even reverse, many of the chronic conditions that plague Americans today. Crandall’s approach emphasizes


simple, proactive, and powerful changes individuals can take to lead healthier lifestyles for themselves and their families. From choosing nutrient-rich fruits


and vegetables over processed snacks to incorporating physical activity into a daily routine, Crandall off ers solutions that can prevent and even reverse many chronic conditions he treats, including heart disease. It all boils down to incremental


improvements, including incorporating proper diet, exercise, faith, and community, lower stress, and better sleep habits into a daily routine that Crandall contends will lead to a better quality of life. The COVID-19 pandemic further


sharpened his focus. For Crandall, it exposed America’s dependence on medication over prevention. His own decision to forgo


vaccination, and the backlash that followed, led him to dig deeper into


the roots of chronic disease and how to counter them without unnecessary drugs or surgery. While Crandall felt Americans were


overmedicated for some time, he said the issue really came to light with the COVID-19 vaccine. One of his simplest recommenda-


tions involves eating fresh fruits and vegetables and high-quality meat to help lower the risk of heart disease. While it seems easy, Crandall discovered that good, nutrient-rich food can be hard to fi nd. One challenge he highlights is


the prevalence of “food deserts,” communities where fresh fruits and vegetables are scarce, leaving residents reliant on processed, packaged, and canned foods. The result, he argues, is a predictable


rise in chronic health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. By looking at societal issues, Crandall paints a “big picture” of steps that individuals and the government can take to help improve health. Crandall understands fi rsthand


that choosing healthy eating habits can be challenging. His wife grew up in a family that


ate fresh, healthy foods, while he grew up in a military family that ate packaged foods and canned SPAM on the weekends.


One of his simplest recommendations involves eating fresh fruits and vegetables and high-quality meat to help lower the risk of heart disease.
