Pharma Whistleblower Reveals Who Really Runs American Healthcare w/ Brigham Buhler

Author: Dr. Mark Hyman August 6, 2025 Duration: 1:16:41
Our healthcare system is broken—and it’s not by accident. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I’m joined by Brigham Buhler, a former pharmaceutical rep turned healthcare entrepreneur, to explore how misaligned incentives across pharma, insurance, and government are undermining patient care.  This conversation is about more than just exposing the problem. It’s about empowering individuals. Watch our full discussion on my YouTube channel here - https://youtu.be/062lululORA We discuss: • How hidden financial incentives could be affecting the care you receive • Why even well-meaning doctors may be limited in helping you heal—and what you can do about it • What to watch out for when navigating insurance, prescriptions, and denied claims • How you can prioritize prevention, even when it’s not supported Navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming, but your next step doesn’t have to be. With the right insight, you can take back control and advocate for the care you deserve.
