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nutrition, functional medicine, and health policy, Brad pulls back the curtain on our healthcare system, stifled by outdated frameworks, legacy regulations, and institutional inertia — all of which can slow or even block real progress.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.

In this episode, we dive into the growing trend of people turning to natural medicine, and the complexities that come with it. With the booming supplement industry and a flood of “natural” products on the market, there’s a growing need to understand the true potential—and the real risks—of integrating nature’s pharmacy into our lives.
Join us as we talk with Dr. Cassandra Quave, AKA the “Plant Hunter,” an amputee and antibiotic-resistant infection survivor who travels the world in search of cures hidden in nature. She has turned her personal journey of survival into a mission to discover plants that could become the next big breakthroughs in medicine—just as many of pharma’s biggest blockbusters once did.
From her state-of-the-art ethnobotany lab at Emory University, Dr. Quave shares her vision of bringing natural products safely into the mainstream and her tireless work to bridge the divide between traditional and Western medicine. It’s a journey into the green frontier of medicine you won’t want to miss!
