"Oil Changes" For Your Blood, DIRTY Pharmaceutical Secrets, AI-Powered Medicine & More With Brigham Buhler.

•
Plasmapheresis acts as a preventative blood oil change - this long-standing medical technology is being pivotally used to filter out toxins and inflammatory markers before chronic illness develops
“Historically, they have never used it for preventative care.”
— Brigham Buhler
•
Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are driving drug prices higher - these middlemen, owned by major insurers, negotiate rebates that effectively act as kickbacks, incentivizing high list prices for common drugs
“Rather than negotiating down the cost of prescription drugs, they legitimately began to negotiate up the cost of prescription drugs... because they negotiated rebates.”
— Brigham Buhler
•
Modern medicine functions as a sick care monopoly - because insurance companies now own the pharmacies and the providers, the system is financially incentivized to manage chronic symptoms rather than pursue total wellness
“The problem with the health care system is it's a sick care system that is monetizing chronic disease.”
— Brigham Buhler

•
Prioritize proactive diagnostics - Comprehensive blood work serves as a vital roadmap for identifying underlying health issues and hormonal imbalances before they escalate into chronic conditions.
“The traditional healthcare system is designed to manage disease, not create health; you have to take ownership of your own biology.”
— Brigham Buhler
•
Challenge the sick-care model - Shifting the medical focus from merely suppressing symptoms to addressing root metabolic causes is essential for extending both lifespan and healthspan.
•
Utilize personalized medicine - Compounding pharmacies provide a necessary alternative to mass-market pharmaceuticals by allowing for precise, individualized dosing tailored to a patient's specific lab results.
