I can’t find Huberman, but it does look like Peter Attia [1] was payed $300k by Dexcom for consulting services. Dexcom makes continuous glucose monitors that Attia has repeatedly mentioned on the show. It looks like there’s even an episode where he interviews the CEO, although this happened before the payment [2].
This website [3] links his NPI displayed on Open Payments (1144596339) to his CA license number (A96452) which he displays on his about page [4]. So it does look like this is the Peter Attia of podcast fame.
OpenPayments is a super cool tool. It's worth noting that some small payments can amount to things like "the drug rep came by to leave some pamphlets for the waiting room and donuts for the staff", which is how you'll occasionally find a doctor who accepted a grand total of $50 in payouts.
For the $100k+ payouts, though... hell, even the $10k+ payouts....
EDIT: Just looked up one of my doctors and it says he accepted a whole $70 last year, entirely in food and beverage lol. I hope he enjoyed the cookies or whatever it was :P
> On some of the world’s most popular health podcasts, such as Huberman Lab, hosted by Stanford professor Andrew Huberman, and The Drive with Dr. Peter Attia, CGMs have been both advertised and discussed on dedicated episodes. (Dr. Attia, in a disclaimer, notes that he is a paid advisor to Dexcom.)
It’s worth highlighting that Peter starts every podcast by stating that his conflicts of interest can be found on his disclosures page: https://peterattiamd.com/disclosures/
He’s done so since the start of his podcast.
In checking, Dexcom is clearly listed as a company he advised during the period listed on Open Payments.
I think it’s worth discussing, the absolute magnitude isn’t readily apparent otherwise and your comment helps inform a better picture. Thanks for taking the time to look into it.
