  • When Failure Becomes Your Superpower: Ari Rastegar on Health, Wealth, and Getting Back Up

    When Failure Becomes Your Superpower: Ari Rastegar on Health, Wealth, and Getting Back Up
    2026/07/06
    Failure is not the end of the story—it’s the training ground for your next chapter in health, wealth, and life. In this episode of Your Health, Your Wealth, Dr. Patton speaks with bestselling author and real estate investor Ari Rastegar to unpack the “gift” inside failure and why your health is the most important investment you will ever make. They connect Ari’s journey from community college and minimum-wage jobs to building billion‑dollar projects with the same principles Dr. Patton uses in clinic: learn from setbacks, trust the process, and keep showing up for yourself. You’ll hear concrete ways Ari rebuilt his life through nutrition, meditation, and consistent habits—and how those same choices directly fueled his business results and family life.

Failure is a universal human experience, but most of us were taught to fear it instead of using it as data and direction. Ari describes failure as “learning how to win,” comparing it to a child learning to walk or a hitter in baseball—if you keep getting back up, refining your process, and trying again, those “losses” become the foundation of real mastery and resilience. 2. Both Ari and Dr. Patton share personal stories—community college detours, missed medical school on the first try, a speech impediment, low‑wage jobs—that looked like dead ends in the moment but ended up being the exact preparation needed for the next level. When you zoom out, those hard seasons often become the “golden thread” that connects where you were to where you’re called to go. 3. Ari’s Dallas skyscraper story is a living example of long‑game thinking: he once couldn’t get past the nightclub bouncer on McKinney Avenue, and 15 years later he bought that same building and is now developing the tallest tower in Uptown. That arc is less about luck and more about time, persistence, relationships, and a willingness to have hundreds of uncomfortable conversations with city leaders, neighbors, and stakeholders. 4. Your body is your primary asset—if you burn it out, everything else eventually follows. Ari talks candidly about years of poor sleep, extreme stress, and trying medications for anxiety and attention issues, and how his physiology changed when he cut sugar, cleaned up his diet, lifted his vitamin D levels, moved his body, and treated meditation like medication. At 43, he feels better than he did in his twenties and can clearly see his health curve and his business curve rising together. 5. Health doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated; it has to be intentional. From salmon, chicken, sweet potatoes, and frozen vegetables to a solid multivitamin and daily walking, the biggest “biohack” in this episode is consistency, not fancy technology. Ari frames meal prep and movement as part of his workday and investing strategy—not a side hobby—because when he feels clearer and calmer, he shows up better for his kids, his clients, and his deals.

  • Wearables, AI, and Your Doctor: Inside the New Era of Personalized Neurology Care

    Wearables, AI, and Your Doctor: Inside the New Era of Personalized Neurology Care
    2026/06/22

    Healthcare has gotten too expensive for trial-and-error medicine.

    In this episode of Your Health, Your Wealth, Dr. Eddie Patton breaks down what “precision” or “personalized” medicine really means in everyday life—and how using your genes, history, lifestyle, and even wearables can help you get the right treatment faster, with fewer side effects and less wasted money. He explains how this shift away from one-size-fits-all care can reduce hospitalizations, challenge “fail-first” insurance policies, and open new doors for prevention, while also naming real concerns around privacy, access, and equity in underserved communities. You’ll walk away with better questions to ask your doctor and a clearer path to protecting both your health and your finances.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Personalized medicine is about treating the person, not just the disease. Instead of relying only on averages from research trials, it uses your genes, family history, medical history, lifestyle, and environment to choose treatments that fit you more precisely.

    2. Traditional medicine often works on a trial-and-error model, where you may cycle through several drugs before finding one that helps. Precision medicine aims to close that gap, reducing failed treatments, side effects, and the time you spend feeling sick, out of work, or back and forth to the doctor.

    3. Rising drug costs and intensive research mean we “can’t afford to fail” as often as we used to. By using better data and tools, doctors can justify going straight to more effective options, which may help patients avoid expensive hospital stays and unnecessary treatments.

    4. In neurology, conditions like multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, neuromyelitis optica, migraines, and Parkinson’s already benefit from a more personalized approach. With more than 30 MS drugs and complex Parkinson’s medication schedules, tailoring therapy to someone’s biology, lifestyle, and preferences can improve adherence and outcomes.

    5. Digital health tools and wearables, including “invisible” home sensors, are changing the game by giving doctors continuous data instead of occasional snapshots. This allows more precise dosing and timing of medications, earlier detection of problems, and better insight into how someone is really doing day to day.

  • Protecting Our Young Athletes: A Conversation with Dr. Asif Ali

    Protecting Our Young Athletes: A Conversation with Dr. Asif Ali
    2026/06/08
    Your child’s safety on the field is not a given. Dr. Patton sits down with cardiologist and med tech innovator Dr. Asif Ali to break down sudden cardiac arrest in student athletes, the often silent threat that can turn a routine practice into a life or death emergency. During this conversation, you will learn why these collapses are usually not “freak accidents,” how hidden structural and electrical heart problems, infections, extreme training and energy drinks can combine into a perfect storm, and what real screening should look like before kids are cleared to play. You will also hear practical step by step guidance on what to do when an athlete goes down, how fast CPR and a nearby defibrillator change the odds, and how parents, coaches and schools can work together to build a safer sports culture while preserving the joy of the game. Learn more about Dr. Asif Ali: https://hccheart.com/ Learn more about Dr. Eddie Patton: https://www.eddiepattonmd.com/ Subscribe to Your Health, Your Wealth on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your favorite podcasts. Key Takeaways 1. Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in student athletes outside of motor vehicle accidents and often strikes kids who appear perfectly healthy. 2. The most common culprit in young athletes is not a typical middle aged heart attack but conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and electrical disorders such as Wolff Parkinson White and Brugada that disrupt the heart’s rhythm. 3. Every minute without circulation and defibrillation increases the risk of death by about 10 percent, which is why immediate CPR and early use of an AED are critical. 4. Modern youth sports culture including year round play, two a day practices, extreme heat, infections such as COVID, energy drinks and nicotine products has created a multifactorial risk environment for sudden cardiac arrest. 5. Proactive screening with history, physical exam, EKG and when indicated echocardiogram can uncover silent heart problems, and Texas now offers an opt in EKG option on athletic forms thanks to a hard fought bill driven by parents and clinicians. 6. Every school, church and sports facility should have a clear emergency plan that includes CPR trained staff, a known AED location and a simple algorithm for what to do when someone collapses. Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dr. Patton introduces the topic of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes, sets the scene with football season and recent high profile on field collapses, and presents Dr. Asif Ali as a cardiologist and med tech innovator focused on this issue. 01:39 They revisit the Damar Hamlin incident, explain why his collapse pattern signaled cardiac arrest rather than concussion, and highlight how quickly recognizing an arrhythmia can save a life. 03:06 Dr. Ali walks through the ABCs when an athlete goes down, emphasizing airway, breathing, circulation and pulse checks followed by rapid access to a defibrillator. 05:07 The conversation turns to preparedness in the community as Dr. Patton shares how his church installed defibrillators and they stress the importance of AEDs and basic CPR training in schools and public spaces. 07:00 Dr. Ali explains how sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes differs from typical heart attacks, introduces hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as the top structural cause and outlines other electrical and congenital issues that can lead to fatal rhythms. 09:23 They discuss the role of energy drinks, pre workout supplements and other stimulants in provoking dangerous arrhythmias in teenagers and why families should be cautious about what kids consume before practice or games. 10:48 The impact of infections and modern training loads is explored, including COVID, two a days, year round competition and extreme heat, which together increase stress on young hearts. 14:26 Dr. Ali lists red flag symptoms for coaches and parents such as fainting after exertion, chest pain, severe shortness of breath and dizziness, and urges that any collapse be treated as an emergency until proven otherwise. 15:39 They review the HEARTS Houston Early Age Risk Testing Screening Study in which asymptomatic middle school students received history, exam, EKG and echocardiogram and several significant heart problems were uncovered. 18:36 Dr. Ali shares the story of House Bill 76 in Texas, the five year legislative journey to add an opt in cardiac screening option for student athletes and how parents who lost children to sudden cardiac arrest helped move the law forward. 21:03 A simple field side response plan is laid out, including checking responsiveness, calling emergency services, starting chest compressions, retrieving the AED and maintaining an adequate compression rate using the rhythm of the song Staying Alive. 23:32 They tackle the economics of screening, with Dr. Ali arguing that no price can be placed on a child’s life and describing how foundations, mobile units and community ...
