(The Epoch Times)—President Donald Trump is in “excellent health” according to the results of his annual physical examination.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted the results to the social platform X on April 13, which included a physical and medical exam from Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, physician to the president.
“President Trump remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function. His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being. President Trump’s days include participation in multiple meetings, public appearances, press availability, and frequent victories in golf events,” Barbabella wrote in his summary of the exam.
Trump underwent his first annual exam since beginning his second term, when he visited Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Washington on April 11.
“Overall, I felt I was in very good shape. Good heart, a good soul, a very good soul,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One later in the day.
Leavitt told reporters on Friday that the exam would include comprehensive testing and imaging.
“There’s quite a lot that goes into it to make sure the president is accomplishing all of his goals,” Leavitt said. “And we will provide a readout of that as soon as we can.”
The doctor’s notes indicate Trump now weighs 224 pounds, which is a 20-pound drop from his last presidential physical exam in 2020 when he weighed 244 pounds, Dr. Sean Conley said at the time.
The president also has normal visual acuity, hearing, thyroid, and lymph nodes. Examination of his head, ears, nose, and throat revealed no “significant abnormalities” besides the scarring on his right ear from a gunshot wound in July 2024, when a shooter attempted to assassinate Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Barbabella also noted that Trump’s lungs were clear, with scans showing no abnormalities. His cardiac exam showed a regular rate and rhythm, with normal heat functions.
Trump’s abdominal exam and ultrasound were also normal, and “his joints and muscles have a full range of motion, with normal blood flow and no swelling,” Barbabella wrote.
“A comprehensive neurological examination revealed no abnormalities in his mental status, cranial nerves, motor and sensory function, reflexes, gait, and balance,” he said, adding that the president scored a 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
The president also scored “within the normal range” on tests screening for depression and anxiety symptoms.
“The skin examination revealed some minor sun damage and a few benign lesions. No concerning lesions or growths were identified,” Barbabella said.
Trump also scored within the healthy range for total cholesterol, and his urinalysis was normal.
The exam noted that the president’s medical history includes “well-controlled hypercholesterolemia, seasonal allergies, a history of COVID-19 infection, well-managed rosacea, actinic keratosis, benign nevi, diverticulosis, and a benign colon polyp.”
Trump, who has maintained a lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol, was noted as taking rosuvastatin and ezetimibe for cholesterol control, aspirin for cardiac prevention, and mometasone cream as needed for a skin condition.
Barbabella also noted that the president is current on all recommended vaccinations, including “travel-related immunizations.”
“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” he wrote.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
