OK, the title is click bait. Sensible Medicine is a reader-supported publication. I you appreciate our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. I am a great believer in the healthy lifestyle. If Americans lived healthier lives, we would all be in a better place. There would be less obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. We would probably be treating fewer patients for depression, cancer, and addictions.

The fifth instance of the word “mental” in Project 2025 is on page 518 in the section about the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA): Withdraw Ryan White guidance allowing funds to pay for cross-sex transition support. HRSA should withdraw all guidance encouraging Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program service providers to provide controversial “gender transition” procedures or “gender-affirming care,” which cause irreversible physical and mental harm to those who receive them.
