LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 26, 2025--

"I came to biotech as an outsider, desperate for a cure that didn't exist," said Burnam, who hosts Breaking Brad. "I learned to navigate the FDA, raise capital, and build a company -- but also saw how much promising science gets stuck because health policies have not kept up with innovation. This podcast is about sharing those lessons and spotlighting others pushing boundaries in healthcare."

After contracting a drug-resistant infection, Burnam developed his own cure, carried it through FDA clearance on his own, and built Turn Therapeutics into a company with multiple FDA-cleared products. That dual perspective -- patient and founder -- shapes Breaking Brad to make complex science and policy accessible while asking why so many cures remain out of reach.

Season one has begun streaming on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple, with episodes highlighting breakthroughs in stem cells, ethnobotany, and functional medicine. Guests include world-renowned stem cell therapy pioneer Neil Riordan, Ph.D.; leading ethnobotanist Cassandra Quave, Ph.D.; Vanderbilt University's infectious disease expert Buddy Creech, M.D.; and functional medicine leader Greer McGuinness. The season also confronts major healthcare topics like autism, drug pricing, and women's health.

"What began as me trying to understand the system for my own survival has become a mission to move that same system forward," Burnam added. "This podcast is about sharing what I've learned -- and giving a platform to others who are doing work the world needs but rarely sees."
