Health Is Wealth With Dr. Myron Rolle Premieres on PlayersTV

PlayersTV, the first global media company owned by athletes and their fans, today announced the premiere of Health Is Wealth With Dr. Myron Rolle. The groundbreaking new talk show explores today’s most pressing healthcare issues through the lens of a world-class medical expert and his elite athlete guests. Health Is Wealth is the first series in television history led by an athlete-turned-doctor, and debuts across PlayersTV’s linear and digital platforms.

Hosted by former NFL safety and current pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Myron Rolle, Health Is Wealth brings viewers behind the scenes and into the lives of star athletes for intimate, thought-provoking conversations on personal wellness, longevity, mental health, and purpose. Each episode pairs a prominent athlete with Dr. Rolle, who provides unique insights only he can as an All-American athlete-turned-doctor with expertise at the intersection of healthcare and sports. These are star athletes like you’ve never seen them: raw and candid, sharing their personal experiences while providing education on health and wellness-focused causes sacred to them in a safe space.

Upcoming episodes include the likes of Alonzo Mourning, Jeff Green, and Ken Griffey, Sr., to name a few, addressing topics like breast cancer and prostate cancer.

PlayersTV has partnered with Novartis as its exclusive advertising partner to bring Health Is Wealth to
life. Novartis is a global healthcare leader committed to reimagining medicine and improving access to
care.

“This show is about transformation,” said Dr. Rolle. “From the field to the operating room, I’ve seen what true wellness demands, and Health Is Wealth offers those lessons in ways that are relatable, deeply human, and inspiring. It is an incredible honor to share this platform to bring awareness to what world-class people care about the most.”

Dr. Rolle’s own story is compelling: An NFL athlete and Rhodes Scholar turned neurosurgeon, he walked away from the field to save lives. Once an All-American football player at Florida State University, Dr. Rolle postponed his NFL career to complete a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University. He went on to play for the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers, before walking away from the NFL and returning to Florida State University’s School of Medicine to complete his medical degree. After training at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, he now serves as a Pediatric Neurosurgery Resident at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. In addition to leading global healthcare initiatives through the Caribbean Neurosurgery Foundation, Dr. Rolle is a tireless advocate for underserved communities in his hometown of Orlando, Florida.

Health Is Wealth is the latest original series coming to PlayersTV+, the network’s new direct-to-consumer streaming service launching this summer. The series joins a robust slate of athlete-led shows that span fashion, business, culture, and storytelling—all powered by a platform where athletes and fans are co-owners.

PlayersTV co-founder Deron Guidrey said of the program: “Dr. Myron Rolle is an exemplary one-of-one professional we are honored to have as a member of the PlayersTV family. His expertise as a neurosurgeon and experience as a world-class athlete combine to make Health Is Wealth a dynamic viewing experience audiences won’t find anywhere else. Health Is Wealth will inform and inspire with voices our nation needs to hear today.”
