EP. 219 Welcome back to the Realfoodology podcast! In today’s episode, live from Austin, I’m thrilled to have Brigham Buhler, a guest I’ve been eager to feature since hearing him on Joe Rogan’s podcast. This conversation explores the shocking world of big insurance and the insidious corruption behind healthcare in America. Brigham unveils how deductibles and copays work, revealing the ways in which consumers are often left in the dark and underserved. It’s an eye-opening discussion that may be dark at times, but it equips you with the knowledge to navigate the system and avoid its traps. Tune in to discover how to protect yourself and your health in a broken system!
