The Excerpt · How ‘crunchy mom’ vaccine skeptics joined RFK Jr.’s MAHA movement · 21 Jan 2026 podcast

They run a podcast called Crunchy Moms Unfiltered.

And they're all about all of this stuff.

They're all about the nutrition, reading food labels, teaching other mothers, you can do this, you can get into this, you can focus on what your children consume, both in terms of what they're watching, what they're listening to, and what they're eating and physically consuming.

But they're also, I'd say, very far to the right when it comes to politics.

You know, their podcast focuses on things like conservative values, but it also focuses a little bit on some of the big sort of conspiracy theories of the right.

And they're also very interested in vaccines and focus a lot on skepticism of vaccines.

I don't want to say anti-vaccine, but I would certainly say that they're very skeptical about vaccines and about the medical establishment.

Yeah.

So April broke down what crunchy means in today's internet parlance for me.

Well, I think one has to distinguish between people like Brandy who have a direct experience or say that they have a direct experience of vaccines either harming or in some way kind of impacting their lives, and then people who are influenced by that story.

So I'd say that there is kind of a core group of people who themselves have had some sort of experience with vaccines or believe that they've had a negative experience with vaccines.

And that kind of brings them into this world.

And that's what happened with Brandy.

Yes, I think people like Brandy who've had these kind of direct experiences, they have a sort of a ripple effect across the kind of crunchy mom universe.

So what you have is you have sort of a relatively small number of people who think they've been impacted by vaccines, but their stories are very influential and very moving for kind of the broader community.

And so you have people, you know, April and Brandy are a good example.

Brandy has a direct or says she has a direct experience

link to problems with vaccines.

April doesn't, but April has kind of come along and has believes in a lot of this stuff, mainly because of Brandy's own experiences, even though they're not her own experiences.

And so I think that that speaks to the larger community of crunchy moms, where a lot of these people might not have direct connections to this, but they read the stories.
