Book Excerpt “I developed bad habits, eating bad
food,” he said. “I didn’t know there was another way to eat. Through my wife and her family eating correctly, I made that shift.” With busy professional schedules,
he said simple changes can help ensure diet, exercise, and stress levels are kept on track. “We can all improve, and it doesn’t
take a lot of adjustments,” he said. “It takes a shift in the way we think about food.” Crandall’s tips align with the MAHA
movement, which Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is promoting through his policies. He supports RFK Jr.’s push to
expand public access to health information, praising his efforts to counter misinformation and raise awareness about preventative care. “He’s genuine and motivated for the
right reasons,” Crandall said of RFK Jr. “I’m excited he’s bringing awareness to better health. Bobby Kennedy realizes there is a better way, and we drifted from that, and he’s trying to bring us back to a better life. “I believe in a lot of what he is
doing, and I support him in making all the information available honestly,” he said. Food and fitness are only part of
the equation. Crandall stresses that mental health, mindfulness, faith, and social connections are equally vital to long-term well-being. Crandall recognizes that change
doesn’t always come easy and does “demand some discipline in the way we eat and behave. “The good news is, the body was
made in such a creative way, we can have victory in our health,” he said. When he is treating a patient
with heart disease or another chronic condition, his goal is to encourage them, provide hope, and “give them a pathway to victory.” At its core, MAHA is about
encouraging people to take control of their health through small and lasting changes.
Powerful Role Lifestyle and Environment Play in Lives
I
’ve dedicated my entire career to understanding the complexities of health — from the deep-rooted cultural influences I studied as an anthropologist to the cutting-edge medical treatments I’ve delivered as a cardiologist and preventive medicine physician. The path I’ve traveled has been
anything but conventional, but it’s this breadth of experience that gives me a unique perspective on the current health crisis facing America. Early in my career, my work as a
medical anthropologist took me to remote parts of the world, where I studied traditional healing practices and the profound impact of culture on health. It was there, in villages far
removed from modern medicine, that I began to see the powerful role lifestyle and environment play in shaping our well-being. This understanding became the
bedrock of my approach to medicine: Health is not just the absence of disease — it’s the result of our daily choices, our environment, and our cultural practices.
When I moved into the field of
cardiology and preventive medicine, I brought this holistic perspective with me. I’ve spent decades on the front lines, treating patients with severe heart disease, many of whom were given little hope. Yet I’ve seen miraculous recoveries — patients reversing their conditions through targeted, lifestyle-based interventions. These experiences have solidified
my belief that much of what ails us can be prevented, managed, or even reversed if we take a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms. But my work hasn’t been confined
to the walls of a hospital. As a medical missionary, I’ve traveled to some of the poorest, most underserved regions of the world. In these challenging environments, I’ve delivered life-saving care and witnessed the incredible resilience of people when given the right support and resources. I don’t shy away from dificult
conversations. Instead, I address them head-on, with a commitment to honesty, transparency, and patient advocacy. I lay out a clear, actionable plan for how each of us can take control of our own health, and how our communities and government can support a healthier society. Make America Healthy Again
is not just a call to action — it’s a comprehensive guide rooted in decades of clinical practice, academic research, and real-world experience. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. I’ve seen patients transform their lives and reclaim their health. And I’ve seen entire communities rise up to tackle health disparities and make lasting changes.
