Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, has made headlines by asserting that President Donald Trump possesses “exceptional health markers,” including an unusually high testosterone level for someone of his age. This claim adds to the ongoing discourse regarding Trump’s physical condition within political circles.
During an episode of a podcast hosted by Katie Miller, wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, Kennedy stated, “He’s in incredible health.” He referenced a review conducted by television personality and physician Dr. Oz, who reportedly examined Trump’s medical records and concluded that Trump has “the highest testosterone level that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70 years old.” Kennedy expressed confidence that the president would be pleased to hear this information.
A spokesperson from the White House supported Kennedy’s assertions, noting, “Secretary Kennedy is right: as his golf championships and flawless physical report results indicate, President Trump has the constitution and energy levels most young people could only dream of having.”
High Testosterone and Daily Habits
Kennedy’s remarks quickly garnered attention online, partly due to the specificity of the claims and the cultural associations surrounding testosterone levels, which are often linked to vitality and strength. Despite acknowledging Trump’s high testosterone, Kennedy did not shy away from mentioning what he considers unhealthy habits. He remarked, “He eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s, and candy and Diet Coke. But he drinks Diet Coke at all times.”
Kennedy expressed disbelief at Trump’s longevity given his dietary choices, stating, “I don’t know how he’s alive.” This comment aligns with longstanding accounts of Trump’s preference for fast food. In an October 2025 podcast, RNC Chairman Joe Gruters recounted a campaign trail instance where Trump ordered a meal that included McDonald’s hot fries, a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder, and a Big Mac. A book published in 2017 by former aides also detailed Trump’s penchant for multiple burgers and fish sandwiches during his time in office.
In the midst of these discussions, President Trump has publicly addressed health concerns, telling the Wall Street Journal that he is in “perfect health.” His statements reflect an ongoing effort to assure the public of his fitness as he navigates the political landscape.
Kennedy’s enthusiastic comments about Trump’s health may resonate with certain segments of the public, particularly as conversations about health and vitality continue to evolve in the context of aging leaders. As political debates intensify, the implications of such health discussions will likely remain a topic of interest among both supporters and critics alike.
