Two weeks ago in Austin, I visited Ways2Well and had a fascinating and VERY eye-opening conversation with founder Brigham Buhler. In this conversation, be prepared to be shocked as you learn how insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers, and rebate structures dictate what treatments are available, regardless of what actually moves the needle for your health.
Brigham’s approach is straightforward: take ownership early, use real data, and intervene before problems show up on a diagnosis chart.
Here’s what we get into:
-Why pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and insurance companies influence prescriptions in ways that rarely align with your best interests
-What sets his stem cell therapy apart from standard mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) treatments, including the safety profile and current regulatory status
-How plasmapheresis, extracorporeal blood oxygenation, ozonation (EBOO), and HOCATT sauna therapy are combined to support detoxification and recovery
-What actually drove Jelly Roll’s weight loss without glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs, and how hormone optimization played a central role
-Where Brigham’s pharmacy fits in, providing access to compounded peptides, hormones, and precision-based prescriptions outside the traditional model
Brigham spent years inside the insurance-driven healthcare model, where treatment decisions are often shaped by reimbursement structures rather than outcomes, before building Ways2Well and ReviveRx Pharmacy to give patients direct access to advanced, transparent, cash-pay care.
