概要

In Your Health, Your Wealth, renowned neurologist Dr. Eddie Patton exposes the hidden forces driving up medical costs for millions of Americans. From the fragmented healthcare infrastructure to hospital billing practices and pharmaceutical pricing, Dr. Patton provides an exhaustive examination of why the U.S. spends significantly more on healthcare than other nations.

"The US healthcare system emphasizes autonomy and choice for patients,” said Dr. Patton during episode one. "Accessibility is a key term that will be important in healthcare as we move forward."

Dr. Eddie Patton is a recipient of Texas Monthly Magazine's SuperDoctors®, Houstonia Magazine's Top Doctors awards, and was appointed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to the Texas Council on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders. These accolades, along with his decades of experience, make him the ideal host for a podcast like this.

The podcast is a must-listen for anyone grappling with skyrocketing premiums, outrageous medical bills, or lack of access to quality care. Dr. Patton encourages listeners to "Increase your mindset, health set, and heart set as it pertains to your health and the healthcare system.”

  • 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
    2026/01/26
    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.

  • How 2026 Healthcare Premium Increases Will Affect You

    How 2026 Healthcare Premium Increases Will Affect You
    2026/01/12

    Premiums rise. Artificial intelligence expands.

    Dr. Eddie Patton looks at the impact of expiring ACA subsidies, projected healthcare premium increases, and possible changes to Medicare Part B. He outlines artificial intelligence’s role in health systems, regulatory challenges, and how changes might affect patients, providers, and insurers.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Dr. Patton explains that significant premium hikes are expected in 2026, particularly for Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans. The expiration of federal subsidies could lead to double- or even triple-digit increases in monthly costs, resulting in more people being uninsured and higher overall healthcare expenses.

    2. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare is rapidly accelerating, with AI impacting everything from clinical support tools to claims automation. While AI has the potential to drive efficiency and enhance patient-provider relationships, it also introduces challenges around transparency ("black box" algorithms) and regulation, which will be crucial to address in 2026.

    3. The future of healthcare premiums is closely tied to decisions made by Congress and the Senate regarding subsidy extensions for ACA plans. Policy changes have a cascading effect on the cost and accessibility of care for all insurance types, not just those in the marketplace.

    4. With rising premiums and the possible expiration of ACA subsidies, more individuals may drop their health coverage, leading to a larger uninsured population. This shift increases the burden on emergency care centers and drives up costs throughout the healthcare system.

    5. Dr. Patton highlights ongoing issues with stagnant Medicare reimbursement for physicians, which has not kept pace with inflation. This economic challenge contributes to workforce shortages, particularly in fields like pediatrics and psychiatry, and needs to be addressed to maintain the quality and accessibility of healthcare.
