Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and Vice President JD Vance have adopted a sauerkraut-and-kimchi-heavy diet promoted by physician Dr. Sean O'Mara.
The diet promises weight loss and improved gut health through fermented foods and grass-fed steak, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The regimen's adherents acknowledge the sulfurous odors as a tradeoff worth accepting for health benefits.
Kennedy, following the diet for approximately one year, wakes at 6:30 a.m. daily to prepare steak and sauerkraut. His wife Cheryl Hines, also recalled him asking her to carry sauerkraut in her designer handbags while traveling, while in conversation with Katie Miller.
Lutnick ferments his own vegetables, while Vance snacks on fermented items aboard Air Force Two.
Duffy's visible results — glowing skin — reportedly drew the attention of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who became a convert.
O'Mara charges up to $18,000 for consultations, arguing appearance and energy improvements justify lingering odors.
