LATEST STORIES

For years, Del Bigtree has been a prominent figure in the medical and health freedom movement. From his beginnings as an Emmy-winning medical television producer to becoming one of the most vocal advocates for transparency in medicine, he has dedicated his career to uncovering hidden truths and challenging the status quo. Bigtree sat down with TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli and Anthony Lolli, Editors-in-Chief of longevity and wellness platform Biohack Yourself, for an interview for the influential upcoming women’s health documentary, “sHEALed,” to exclusively discuss his journey, his fight for medical freedom, and what the future holds for healthcare in America.

The sHEALed Documentary is the sister documentary to Biohack Yourself, which became a massive success after exploding on the scene in December 2024 and ignited a firestorm of interest in information focused on health and longevity. Biohack Yourself features 114 prominent and respected high-profile politicians, doctors, bestselling authors, Ph.D.s, M.D.s, scientists, chemists, inventors, biotech investors, and world-renowned academics. Stemming from the success of Biohack Yourself, TereZa Hakobyan-Lolli and Anthony Lolli have grown Biohack Yourself Media to become the number one resource for health news, publishing over 500 articles ranging from breaking news to peer reviewed content.

Dominating Medical Media

Bigtree began his career as a producer on The Dr. Phil Show, but his passion for medical storytelling led him to The Doctors, the first-ever medical talk show on television. “I won an Emmy for showcasing the best of science and medicine from around the world,” he said. However, Bigtree quickly found himself drawn to controversial topics. “Wherever a company was making billions while claiming to help people, I felt we needed to ask questions,” he explained.

One of his most notable investigations was into Monsanto’s glyphosate, a chemical in the herbicide Roundup, which the World Health Organization classified as “probably carcinogenic.” Bigtree managed to bring Monsanto’s director of pharmacology onto The Doctors for a heated debate, an unprecedented moment in television history. “It became like a Jerry Springer episode,” he recalled, “but the public needed to hear both sides.”

The Turning Point: Investigating Vaccines

Despite covering various controversial medical topics, it wasn’t until a chance encounter with a whistleblower inside the CDC that Bigtree shifted his focus to vaccines. “A doctor warned me that if I ever looked into vaccines, my career would be over,” he said. However, when he learned about allegations of fraudulent vaccine safety studies within the CDC, he couldn’t ignore them.

Bigtree pitched the story to his executives at The Doctors, but they refused to cover it. Undeterred, he left the show and co-produced the documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, which exposed these claims. The film was banned from the Tribeca Film Festival but went on to become a global sensation. “I didn’t start the medical freedom movement,” Bigtree said, “but Vaxxed ignited it.”

Founding the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN)

Following Vaxxed, Bigtree founded the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) in 2017, an organization dedicated to medical transparency. Through ICAN, he has taken on some of the most powerful institutions in the U.S., including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS, filing lawsuits and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to uncover hidden data.

“Our biggest victories include forcing the FDA to release Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID vaccine trial data,” he said. “They wanted 75 years before making it public. We sued and won.” ICAN also secured the release of V-Safe data, the CDC’s app tracking adverse reactions to the COVID vaccine. “The government was hiding crucial information, and we made it available to the public,” he stated.

Fighting for Medical Transparency

Bigtree emphasized that his work isn’t about being anti-science or anti-vaccine—it’s about demanding transparency and accountability. “We sued the government to provide evidence that early childhood vaccines don’t cause autism,” he said. “They failed to produce a single study proving their claim.”

The lawsuits filed by ICAN don’t seek financial damages. “It’s about proving they were lying or withholding data,” he explained. “Now the world knows the truth.” These legal battles have made ICAN one of the most effective nonprofits in the health transparency space.

Women’s Health and the Fertility Crisis

One of Bigtree’s biggest concerns is women’s health, particularly fertility. “If you look at declining birth rates, rising infertility, and young women freezing their eggs in their 20s, something is wrong,” he said. Studies have found over 260 chemicals in umbilical cord blood, meaning babies are being born already exposed to toxins. “Women are the canary in the coal mine,” he warned. “Their health issues are a sign of a deeper crisis.”

Bigtree is especially critical of the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, which was marketed as a way to prevent cervical cancer. “It’s one of the most dangerous vaccines ever created,” he claimed, citing cases of early menopause, ovarian dysfunction, and severe autoimmune disorders following vaccination. “Before COVID, I believed Gardasil was the worst vaccine. Now, I’m not so sure.”

Restoring Scientific Integrity in Medicine

Bigtree is now working with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to push for medical reform. “We need to return to real science and open debate,” he said. The plan involves making all government health databases publicly available, allowing independent scientists to study them. “If we use AI and big data, we could solve major health crises in weeks,” he claimed. “We’ll finally have real answers about what’s causing autism, infertility, and chronic illness.”

Key initiatives Bigtree and Kennedy are advocating for include:

1. Prioritizing Root Causes Over Drug Development: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) should study what’s causing disease, rather than just creating new drugs.

2. Comprehensive Women’s Health Studies: Research focusing on how medications, vaccines, and environmental toxins uniquely affect women.

3. Banning Harmful Chemicals in Food and Medicine: The U.S. allows over 600 chemicals in food that are banned in Europe. “Why are we poisoning our own children?” he asked.

The Birth of the MAHA Movement

During the 2024 election cycle, Bigtree served as Director of Communications for Kennedy’s presidential campaign. The campaign faced censorship and legal battles but gained momentum. “The turning point was when Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump realized they had a common enemy—the corrupt establishment,” Bigtree said.

This realization led to the creation of MAHA: Make Americans Healthy Again, a movement aimed at reversing the chronic disease epidemic. “For 19 years, Bobby prayed for the chance to fix America’s health crisis,” Bigtree said. “Now, with Trump’s backing, he finally has that chance.”

The Future of Medical Freedom

Bigtree remains committed to advocating for health freedom, serving as the CEO of MAHA Alliance and MAHA Action, organizations focused on transparency and accountability in government health policy. “We’re going to expose corrupt politicians who put corporations over people,” he promised.

His final message was one of empowerment: “We can’t wait for the government to fix this. We must take control of our own health, demand truth, and push for policies that put people over profits.”

With his relentless pursuit of medical transparency, Bigtree is leading a movement that seeks to reshape the future of healthcare—one lawsuit, one revelation, and one empowered citizen at a time.
