Episode 410 - Brigham Buhler - Redefining Healthcare and Treatment
Brigham Buhler is a healthcare entrepreneur transforming America's broken system. As founder of Ways2Well, owner of Revive Rx Pharmacy, and an investor in psychedelic research, he champions a model of care that prioritizes patients over profits through preventative medicine, transparency, and innovation. His work is guided by a few core convictions: -Former insider’s perspective: With deep experience navigating the corrupt systems of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), insurance companies, and the FDA, Brigham knows firsthand how the system is stacked against patients. -Uncompromising advocate: He pushes to expose and dismantle the corporate capture of American healthcare. -Bold truth-teller: He believes in revealing the realities of the insurance Ponzi scheme and providing practical ways to bypass outdated systems. -Relentless reformer: He is dedicated to replacing a model that profits off sickness with one centered on health, longevity, and patient empowerment.  Today's Sponsors: Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com LMNT: https://www.drinklmnt.com/clearedhot    Â
It is safe to say that I have wandered a bit. I served in the military, flew some jets, jumped out of most, climbed mountains (I jumped off of them too), taught fitness, owned a gym, and have spent the last few years speaking to organizations and leaders. It has been a journey, and in all honesty, I have no idea where it is going. I seek the things that make me uncomfortable. I move towards things that scare me. I think you should too
