On this episode of the podcast, host Amanda Head dives into “Operation Stork Speed,” a new initiative launched by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) aimed at improving children’s health.

Head is joined on this episode by Jack Kalavritinos, a former Director for Intergovernmental and External Affairs at HHS and FDA advisor, who brings insight from his time in the Trump and Bush Administrations and his current work in health advocacy. The pair discusses the hidden dangers of sugar and heavy metals in baby formula, the urgent need for industry reform, and how the FDA and HHS can drive much needed change. Kalavritinos highlights the critical role of transparency, voluntary action from manufacturers, and how the next few years could be pivotal for children’s health.
