329: Breaking Down Big Pharma: The Opioid Crisis, Insurance & MAHA | Brigham Buhler

Listen Later

In this episode, I’m joined by Brigham Buhler, a passionate advocate for transforming the healthcare system. Brigham shares his personal journey and insights into the flaws in both the pharmaceutical industry and our healthcare system, offering solutions to help us all take control of our health.

We discuss the brokenness of insurance, the opioid crisis, and the role of compounding pharmacies in providing personalized care. Brigham also talks about the power of functional medicine and why it’s crucial for us to educate both the public and politicians about these pressing issues.
