Summary

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.

0:02.6	It's not freedom if you're going to hide and mislead the American people.
0:06.7	If you're expecting the insurance companies or the big pharmaceutical companies to look out for you, you're in trouble.
0:12.6	Pharma whistleblower.
0:13.7	Brigham Bueller now exposes the industry's broken incentives and fights to put patients back in control.
0:20.2	How does it look like behind the scenes in terms of what's happening in our agencies that
0:23.9	govern our health and healthcare?
0:25.3	We are really, really bad at stopping chronic disease from developing.
0:30.1	You only really succeed when people are not well.
0:33.8	And it's because there's so much money being made on chronic disease. This is, to me, it's not a political thing. This is a humanity. Is there hope? Is it just not fixable? I think we have to. When I'm working with my patients, the gut is ground zero for health. When I'm working with my patients, the gut is ground zero for health. It's where we absorb nutrients, regulate inflammation, and support

1:10.1	DSO-1 supports gut barrier integrity,
1:12.3	immune function, and even heart and skin health through the gut liver and gut skin axes.
1:16.2	What's especially exciting is that DSO-1 is clinically proven to promote short chain fatty acid
1:20.8	production. These are critical compounds that help maintain a strong gut lining, reduce systemic
1:24.9	inflammation, and support healthy aging. As a member of Seed's
1:27.8	clinical board, I've reviewed the science firsthand. This is not your average probiotic. It's a
