At the center of this political and medical storm are Calley Means — a key RFK Jr. advisor and entrepreneur — and Peter Gillooly, CEO of The Wellness Company, a supplement brand with deep ties to conservative influencers and medical professionals who oppose COVID shots.

In a formal complaint filed Saturday with multiple federal oversight bodies — including the Office of the Special Counsel and the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General — Gillooly accuses Means of leveraging his government role to threaten him and unlawfully coerce private business dealings.

The conflict centers on market share, ideological purity, and access to influential conservative health circles.

Means, a special government employee who advises RFK Jr. at HHS, is also the co-founder of Truemed, a company that enables customers to use pre-tax health spending accounts for wellness products — a business model that has gained traction among health-conscious conservatives.

In a recorded phone call obtained by RiftTV, Means confronted Gillooly, accusing The Wellness Company of leaking damaging and false information about TrueMed to rightwing activist Laura Loomer.
