Wow. It's hard to believe we are here. After years of shouting from the rooftops, each of us in various ways, we finally have a leader in Washington D.C. who actually looks and sounds like he knows something about health. Not the health defined by absence of disease, but true vitality and restoration of the body as a holistic entity. I was elated and relieved on November 6th. I am beyond grateful and ecstatic for Thursday, February 13th - the day when Robert F. Kennedy was confirmed as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
I've dedicated most of my adult life to pursuing health in all its forms - physical, mental and spiritual. At times, I've gotten it wrong, other times, I've gotten it right. But I never gave up the pursuit, even when my career took a decidedly different direction. I have sustained criticisms I never thought imaginable and lost friends I thought I would have for life. I have learned to let go of all sorts of things, including old paradigms, relationships, and material belongings. In the process, I've learned to lean on God more. While it has not been an easy journey over the past four years or so, it's been an immensely maturing and fulfilling one for which I am deeply grateful.
This past week, someone requested I send them all of my health and MAHA related articles. It took me a while. I had to review all the outlets I've been writing for, copy and paste the titles, and connect hyperlinks. After about a half hour, I hit send. And then I sat back and reviewed that email.
Honestly, I was amazed and for the first time maybe ever, thought to myself, "Wow, Jennifer. Well done." I had amassed a body of work in about half a year that was impressive even to experts in my field. I was proud of myself.
I am copying that list here in case any of you care to read what I've been working on recently. It's not comprehensive as it doesn't include my cultural commentary, but if you're looking for a debrief on why so many people are excited about the next four years of Bobby Kennedy at the helm of the largest health agency in the nation (God willing he lasts that long!), this might be a good start.
More than anything, I want to encourage you to never give up. If you had told me I'd be sitting in a room with some of the people in the nutrition and health fields that I respected the most, I'd say you were crazy. Don't allow any narratives to prevent you from pursuing what you love. Listen to the voice of God, and put the time and effort in. You don't have to 'lean in' or any other trendy catchphrase of the moment. Just be relentless in the pursuit of truth. Don't be a victim. There is no glass ceiling. If you have to work harder than someone else, work harder. It will pay off. I promise.
After he was sworn in, RJKJ said that for 20 years he awoke every day, got on his knees and prayed that God would put him in a position to end the childhood chronic disease epidemic in America. That day has come. God always delivers. It may not be on our timeline, or how we think, but it always happens. Don't ever doubt it.
Have a blessed holiday weekend.
