Byja Radio | Episode 40 – Why America Needs Direct Primary Care Now (Part 1)

Healthcare in America is more expensive, more confusing, and more overwhelming than ever — and patients are paying the price. Rising premiums, skyrocketing deductibles, rushed visits, and endless insurance hoops have created a system that leaves both patients and physicians burned out.

In Part 1, Dr. Byron Jasper and Patient Zero pull back the curtain on what’s really driving the chaos. They break down how traditional insurance-based care fuels inefficiency, why premiums keep climbing despite offering less, and how open enrollment decisions can impact your health more than you realize. This sets the stage for Part 2 — where they’ll explore and explain how Direct Primary Care offers a more affordable, accessible path forward for the millions priced out of today’s system.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with the insurance based healthcare system, this is the episode to tune into.

Byja Radio | Episode 39 – Gut Check: How Everyday Choices Shape Life-Changing GI Outcomes

Digestive issues might seem small — a little heartburn here, some bloating there — but for millions of Americans, they’re signs of something much deeper.

In this episode, Dr. Jasper and Patient Zero dive into how more than 70 million Americans battle chronic digestive diseases each year, costing the U.S. over $140 billion annually — more than diabetes or heart disease.

From reflux and constipation to gallbladder disease and fatty liver, they uncover the hidden warning signs, break down the red-flag symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored, and share how unchecked inflammation can pave the way for colon, liver, or pancreatic cancer.

Tune in now to learn why your gut is the gateway to your overall health, and how taking care of it protects everything else.

In this episode, Dr. Jasper and Patient Zero pull back the curtain on a national debate that could reshape how millions of Americans access and afford care.

From rising premiums to vanishing options, they connect the dots between Washington’s decisions and the real-world impact on patients, employers, and families everywhere. And, as always, they close with a smarter, simpler path forward — one that puts control of your health back where it belongs: with you.

Byja Radio | Episode 37 – The Pressure Problem: Rethinking High Blood Pressure with Direct Primary Care

Nearly half of U.S. adults live with hypertension—and most don’t even know it. It’s called the “Silent Killer” for a reason.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Jasper and Patient Zero unpack why Louisiana—especially Baton Rouge—is a hypertension hotspot, explore the real causes behind America’s blood pressure crisis, and discuss how Direct Primary Care offers a smarter, more personal way to detect, manage, and even prevent high blood pressure before it’s too late.

From AHA guidelines to everyday stress, from food deserts to access to care—this conversation gets to the heart (literally) of why so many Americans are at risk, and what we can do to change that.

Byja Radio | Episode 36 – Undervalued Thinking: Why Primary Care Is Failing in the System That Pays for It

We spend nearly $5 trillion a year on healthcare in America… but only about 4% makes it to primary care—the part that keeps people healthy in the first place.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Jasper and Patient Zero break down how our system rewards procedures over prevention, paperwork over people, and profit over purpose—and why that’s leaving both patients and doctors burned out.

They also explore how Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a smarter, more human-centered solution that puts health, not billing codes, back at the heart of medicine.

Byja Radio | Episode 35 – From Capitol Hill to Your Clinic: HSAs and Direct Primary Care

What if the rules around Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) have been holding patients back from accessing the care they want—and the savings they deserve? For years, patients who joined Direct Primary Care (DPC) practices risked losing HSA eligibility, all because DPC memberships were treated like a “second insurance plan.”

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Jasper and Patient Zero break down how new 2025 legislation changes the game—finally allowing patients to use their HSA dollars alongside DPC.

In this episode, we explore:
– What HSAs are and how they’ve been used with high-deductible health plans
– Why DPC memberships created roadblocks in the past
– How the One Big Beautiful Bill Act reshapes the rules in 2025
– What this means for families, small businesses, and independent clinics

Key Takeaways:
– Patients in DPC can now keep their HSA eligibility
– HSAs + DPC = lower costs and better access
– More freedom, more control, and direct access to your physician

Byja Radio Ep. 33 – When Doing the Right Thing Hurts: Doctoring in a Broken System

What happens when doing what’s morally right for your patient puts you at odds with the very system you work in?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Byron Jasper (Founder & CEO of Byja Clinic) and co-host George Becnel (Patient Zero) confront the harsh realities many physicians face while trying to practice ethical, patient-centered medicine in a healthcare landscape driven by billing codes, burnout, and bureaucracy.

We explore the emotional toll, the systemic barriers, and the stories too many doctors know all too well—where advocating for your patient can feel like swimming upstream. If you are a clinician and have ever felt trapped between doing what’s best and doing what’s allowed, this episode is worth listening.

Tune in to hear why more doctors are choosing models like Direct Primary Care and how we can collectively reimagine a system that actually supports healing—for both patients and doctors.

Byja Radio Ep. 32 – Rebuilding the Bridge: Regaining Trust in Medicine

What happens when the doctor-patient relationship begins with doubt instead of trust? In this insightful episode, Dr. Byron Jasper (Founder & CEO of Byja Clinic) and George Becnel (Patient Zero) unpack the fragile state of trust in healthcare—how it’s been broken by rushed visits, systemic inequities, and profit-driven care—and what it will take to rebuild it.

We explore why so many patients—especially those from historically marginalized backgrounds—feel unheard, unseen, and underserved. We also discuss how physicians can restore faith through transparency, relationship-based care models like Direct Primary Care, and re-centering humanity in every patient interaction.

In this critical episode, Dr. Byron Jasper (Founder & CEO of Byja Clinic) and George Becnel (Patient Zero) tackle a topic that’s often avoided—but shouldn’t be: prostate cancer.

Whether you’re a man over 40, have a family history of prostate cancer, or care about someone who does, this episode is for every man and everyone who loves them. It’s time to normalize the talk, demystify the screenings, and empower men to take control of their health.
