In this week's episode of Health Is Wealth, Dr. Myron Rolle brings his athlete-turned-physician perspective to an inspiring conversation with NFL legend, Super Bowl MVP, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner, centered on resilience, faith, health, and purposeful living.
Kurt opens up about his unconventional journey to the NFL, growing up in poverty, going undrafted, and grinding through Arena Football and NFL Europe before unexpectedly becoming the starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams and leading them to a Super Bowl victory. Through setbacks, benchings, and team cuts, he shares how belief in his own experiences, not his circumstances, kept him going when others said it was time to quit.
Together, Dr. Rolle and Kurt explore the physical and mental toll of professional football, including injuries and concussions, as well as the “play through pain” culture of the NFL. Kurt reflects on how his wife Brenda, a nurse, helped him take a longer-term view of his health, and how managing high cholesterol later in life reshaped his approach to wellness, nutrition, and longevity. He shares practical insights on sustainable fitness, small daily habits, and why health does not have to be an all-or-nothing situation.
One of the most moving parts of the episode is Kurt’s story about his son, Zachary, who suffered a traumatic brain injury. Kurt shares how becoming Zach’s father redefined his understanding of success, teaching him to find meaning in small wins, everyday joy, and a life rooted in purpose. This experience also inspired Kurt and Brenda to co-found Treasure House, an independent living community for young adults with disabilities.
They also explore the balance between faith and medicine, as Kurt thoughtfully reflects on how divine belief and medical intervention can work together in healing and life’s hardest moments. He shares his personal “non-negotiables” for daily living, the values that guide his decisions, and what he hopes his life journey teaches others about resilience, health, and impact.
