Who really runs American healthcare? The answer is not your doctor. In this explosive interview, Dr. Mark Hyman is joined by pharma whistleblower Brigham Buhler, a former drug rep turned healthcare entrepreneur who pulls back the curtain on a system designed for profit, not your health. Together, they expose how “corporate capture” of our regulatory agencies like the FDA and hidden financial deals between insurance companies, their Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), and Big Pharma have created a system that profits from chronic disease. You’ll learn the secrets the industry doesn’t want you to know. In this episode, we discuss: The PBM Shell Game: Uncover the role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) in driving up drug prices for medications like insulin and opioids through secret rebates that benefit the insurance companies. Corporate Capture & The Revolving Door: Learn how the FDA’s revolving door with industry executives contributed to the opioid crisis and is now being used to suppress access to beneficial compounds like peptides. The Profitability of Sickness: Understand why insurance companies are incentivized to deny claims and keep you on expensive prescription drugs, rather than paying for preventative care or cures. The Illusion of a Free Market: Discover how corporations mislead the American people, block transparency, and limit your choices to protect their revenue streams. Empowering Yourself: Find out why you must take sovereignty over your own health and what you can do to navigate a system not built to support your well-being. This conversation is more than just an exposé; it’s a blueprint for taking back control. Learn how to become your own health advocate and join the movement to reclaim American healthcare for the people, not the profiteers #Healthcare#BigPharma#DrHyman#CorporateCapture#HealthInsurance#FunctionalMedicine#PharmaWhistleblower View Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman https://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_c… Sign Up for Dr. Hyman’s Weekly Longevity Journal https://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?u… Join the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Health https://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detox Join the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Results https://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive This episode is brought to you by Seed, BON CHARGE, Paleovalley, PerfectAmino and Big Bold Health.

6 Simple Rules for a Long, Healthy Life.
Longevity secrets & wellness myths debunked: Dr. Zeke Emanuel & Dr. Mark Hyman reveal why human connection, purpose & simple habits beat biohacking, cold plunges & anti-aging trends for mental health & lifespan with meaningful engagement to avoid social isolation and feeling lonely. The “Wellness Industrial Complex” has convinced us that longevity requires extreme discipline, isolation, and expensive biohacks. In this episode, Dr. Mark Hyman sits down with oncologist, bioethicist, and Eat Your Ice Cream author Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel to debunk these myths. They discuss why the loneliness epidemic is as deadly as smoking two packs of cigarettes a day , why climbing Mount Everest is a “schmuck” move , and why eating real food—including the occasional cheesecake or ice cream—is healthier than stressing over every calorie. If you are tired of the hustle and just want a simple, science-backed path to a long, healthy life, this conversation is your permission slip to relax. Key Takeaways: The “Schmuck” Rule: Why extreme risks like climbing Everest or obsessing over data are dangerous for longevity. Social Cure vs. Biohacking: Why joining a book club or talking to strangers protects your health more than a gym membership. The 80/20 Diet: How to cut ultra-processed foods without giving up your favorite treats (and why Zeke prescribes ice cream). Purpose Over Pills: The specific mindset shift regarding service and meaning that adds an average of 7 years to your life. The Sleep Paradox: Why you can’t “will” yourself to sleep and why pills often backfire.
