Gary Brecka

Hey guys, welcome back to the Ultimate Human Podcast.

I'm your host, human biologist, Gary Brekka, where we go down the road of everything, anti-aging, biohacking, longevity, and everything in between.

And as you know, lately I have been very involved in the Maha Action, which is essentially this public-private partnership between Health and Human Services and the general sector

talking about and influencing and having interaction with Health and Human Services on the direction of healthcare in America.

And most of all, looking at initiatives to keep people out of the system.

Not everything that you're doing in HHS and the US FDA is designed to fix the healthcare system.

A lot of it is designed to keep people out of chronic care.

And today's guest is one of those thought leaders.

She is a practicing physician.

She's a mother.

ballroom dancer.

She is an absolutely wonderful human being.

Dr. Stephanie Herodopoulos is now the acting chief of staff and senior advisor to the U.S.

Surgeon General's office.

Her role is updated, so I'll allow her to update us on that tune.

But thank you so much for coming on the Ultimate Human Podcast.

I'm so happy to have you here.

You know, one of the things I've noticed about this administration, at least as it relates to health care and health care policy, is they're asking hard questions.

They're challenging some of the status quo.

They're shaking things up, all to have a positive impact on Americans' health care.
