MAHA

America's health crisis isn't red or blue-it's personal. Rising chronic illness, exhausted kids, endless prescriptions, and skyrocketing costs affect every family. But across the country, a new health populism is taking root: parents reforming school lunches, coaches protecting teen sleep, mayors rewriting vending contracts, veterans leading rucks, and nurses deprescribing pills.

MAHA is the field guide to this unexpected, cross-partisan movement. Through vivid stories-from diners reformulating chili, to towns tackling toxic chemicals, to coalitions bridging ranchers and gardeners-Cody Churchwell maps a practical path forward.

You'll discover:

• Why ultra-processed foods and "a pill for every ill" became the norm-and how communities are breaking free.

• How digital wellness policies are helping families and teams reclaim attention, sleep, and connection.

• The truth about chemicals in our water, food, and homes, and how local action is driving national momentum.

• The surprising coalitions-pastors, libertarians, teachers, veterans-who are rewriting the rules together.

• Policy and market levers that reward healthier defaults without forcing culture wars.

MAHA offers hope, evidence, and a practical roadmap for healthier families, schools, workplaces, and towns. It's not about ideology. It's about food, sleep, focus, freedom-and the America we could build, together.
