Renowned British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra has officially joined the Make America Healthy Again movement as Chief Medical Advisor—bringing with him a bold public health agenda that includes banning mRNA COVID vaccines, alongside allies like Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
A former advisor to the UK government, Dr. Malhotra is best known for leading campaigns to tax sugary drinks, reduce unnecessary statin use, and eliminate ultra-processed foods from hospitals and schools. His evidence-based, reform-minded approach has earned him international recognition—including appearances with Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson.
Now, he’s turning his sights on U.S. health reform, outlining a three-part plan: revise the nation’s dietary guidelines, crack down on ultra-processed foods, and push for an immediate moratorium on mRNA COVID shots.

‘We absolutely can make America healthy again in this electoral term,’ Dr Malhotra said. ‘I’m not here for political reasons. I’m here to reflect the evidence.’

Daily Mail report: The appointment also comes at a time of infighting within the MAHA movement and the Trump administration, as RFK Jr’s former allies have slammed his choices of health officials.
As chief medical advisor of MAHA – a grassroots lobbying group – Dr Malhotra is not formally employed by the federal government, but he will serve as a leading voice of the movement, working closely with grassroots groups to advance its policy agenda.
Dr Malhotra will also relocate from his home in the UK to Washington, D.C., to stay closely engaged with the HHS, FDA, and other key agencies.
A central pillar of Dr Malhotra’s agenda is updating the US Dietary Guidelines, which are due for revision later this year.
Currently, the guidelines advise that 45–65 percent of a person’s daily calories come from carbohydrates.
But Dr Malhotra wants that number slashed in favor of low-carb diets, citing growing evidence that they reduce obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Low-carb diets — defined as roughly 20 to 57 grams of carbs per day, the equivalent of 150 to 400 calories — limit blood sugar spikes and improve insulin sensitivity, reducing the likelihood of diabetes, which currently affects one in ten Americans.
High insulin levels, which often accompany high-carb diets, also promote fat storage and weight gain.
By rewriting these federal recommendations, Dr Malhotra believes the government can directly influence everything from public school lunches to medical advice issued by doctors.
MAHA has already exerted its influence in West Virginia, which passed the country’s most comprehensive food additive ban to clean up school foods by the start of the next school year.
Arkansas and Indiana have also weighed the possibility of removing junk foods from food stamp programs.
Dr Malhotra told this website these states would be ‘particularly amenable’ to further restrictions and could serve as an example for lobbying the rest of the country.
