WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance lauded the Make America Healthy Again movement as an “incredible part” of the Trump administration’s success at a mostly closed-door event at the glitzy Waldorf Astoria on Wednesday. Dubbed the “Official MAHA Summit,” top federal health officials and health industry execs gathered to talk about psychedelics, food as medicine, and how to reverse aging. Vance’s conversation with health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was broadcast, but the rest of the event took place in secret — one planner described it as “hush-hush.” Advertisement The night before, MAHA VIPs — among them Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America, Florida surgeon general Joseph Ladapo, and Ultimate Human podcast host Gary Brecka — mingled with Kennedy at a party in the hotel lobby. The next day, attendees included Dennis Kucinich, the former Democratic lawmaker who was briefly Kennedy’s presidential campaign manager.
