THE LAST THING STANDING BETWEEN A CHILD AND AN INDUSTRY FULL OF CORRUPTIONS IS A MOM. -RFK JR. Today in Truth Talk, Sandra Daher and I talk about the hopes we have for the health of our country under the potential leadership of Robert F Kennedy Jr should he get confirmed by the US Senate this week.  Here are MAHA's hopes and we dish on which we are the most passionate about! 1. Focus on Vaccine Policy Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is known for his strong stance against vaccine mandates and his outspoken criticism of certain vaccine policies. As the head of HHS, he could likely work to shift the agency's approach to vaccines, particularly by pushing for more stringent safety reviews and questioning the role of pharmaceutical companies in vaccine approval. His work with the Children's Health Defense organization has been centered around advocating for vaccine safety, so any initiatives he would pursue might focus on reforming vaccine policy and increasing transparency in the industry. 2. Alternative Health Approaches Kennedy Jr. has often expressed skepticism toward conventional medicine, particularly around topics like environmental toxins, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and other health risks tied to industrial practices. If he were in charge of HHS, he could push for greater emphasis on environmental health, reducing exposure to pollutants, and promoting natural health alternatives. 3. Focus on Environmental Health One of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s long-standing passions is environmental advocacy, especially around water pollution and climate change. At HHS, he might prioritize public health policies that tie environmental factors, like air quality and water safety, to health outcomes. This could lead to increased regulation of industries that contribute to pollution and further promotion of clean energy and sustainable practices. 4. Focus on Transparency and Accountability in the Healthcare System Kennedy Jr. has been critical of what he sees as the undue influence of pharmaceutical companies and big healthcare corporations over public health policies. He may work to increase oversight and transparency in drug approvals, healthcare funding, and potentially challenge practices like the over-prescription of certain medications. 5. Public Health Messaging His position on vaccines and other health issues suggests that he might push for more critical discussions around public health guidelines.  6. Mental Health Initiatives   What are some simple ways we can do something to help this cause?  Ask Questions Vote with your dollars… buy real food, skip seed oils, dyes, GMO foods, Teach your family! Cook at home with real ingredients Sign petitions, follow MAHA, thefoodbabe,  Clear up lies

Guest Bio: Tara Sun is the author of Surrender Your Story and host of the popular podcast Truth Talks with Tara. She is passionate about helping women simplify and know what it means to live out the gospel and know, love, and live God's Word through online resources. Tara lives in Oregon with her husband, Michael, and their son, Hunter. When she isn't writing or podcasting, Tara loves to cook, bake sourdough, go on walks through their small town, and chat about Jesus and life with anyone and everyone.   Show Summary: When you think of surrender, do you think of weakness? Do you think of giving up? Or do you think of laying your life down for good? When we think about surrendering our lives to God, we don't realize the outcome of surrendering all things to Him. We may have a harder time with control than we think. Our God Hears Her podcast guest today is Tara Sun, a woman who had to learn how to surrender her story to the Lord. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how to surrender control with Tara Sun during this conversation on God Hears Her.    Notes and Quotes:  “We live in a kingdom where Jesus said a lot of upside-down things that actually make a lot of sense when we live by His Word and listen to His Word.” —Tara Sun “When you lay your life down, you get to pick up something greater.” —Tara Sun “God doesn't waste anything. It's for a reason, even if I didn't plan it. And it's all leading up to creating a stronger, more sanctified you. A you that knows who God is more.” —Tara Sun “It doesn't matter the greatest plans that I can come up with, it can never touch the goodness and greatness of God's purposes for my life. He wants our obedience and our “yes” coupled with His divine purposes because ultimately He is in control.” —Tara Sun “The narrative of surrender is actually at the heart of what it means to be a disciple.” —Tara Sun   Verses:  Romans 5:3-5 Genesis 32:22-30 Luke 9:23 John 14:26 Philippians 1:6   Links:  Tara's website: https://www.tarasunministries.com/ Tara's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/misstarasun God Hears Her website: https://www.godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc  Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/   MB01TIYFMDGJI53
