Breaking Brad: Cures, Unfiltered.

Breaking Brad: Cures, Unfiltered.

After nearly losing his life to a drug-resistant infection, biotech founder Brad Burnam did the unthinkable: he engineered his own cure and pushed it through the FDA clearance process. That breakthrough became the foundation of Turn Therapeutics, a globally recognized, publicly traded biotech built on a shoestring, from the garage floor to the trading floor. Each episode shines a spotlight on the unseen cures and scientific breakthroughs that already exist — and asks the uncomfortable question: why don’t we have them? Through unfiltered conversations with top minds in medical science, biotechnology, nutrition, functional medicine, and health policy, Brad pulls back the curtain on our healthcare system, stifled by outdated frameworks, legacy regulations, and institutional inertia — all of which can slow or even block real progress. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, an entrepreneur, or someone who’s tired of waiting for change, The Breaking Brad Podcast delivers unapologetic insight, expert interviews, and transformative ideas that challenge the status quo — and imagine a future where healing comes first.
