Raza Pasha

Raza Pasha, MD, as an official quinquagenarian focuses on all things healthy, obsessing over longevity remedies and mindfulness. His very much seasoned practice in Houston thrives as he moves in packs with students and residents, appreciating any audience that will listen to his banter. His CV momentum is slowing down, as he has stripped most of his board titles and business roles as he has settled into family, friends, and music production. There’s not a podcast he hasn’t heard, and will debate to death the existence of an advanced ancient civilization or the physiology of the immortal jellyfish. He may pull out a few more publications by year end, but more likely you’ll see him out and about at a restaurant deep in conversation or on an EDM festival tour mainstage as DJPa5ha.
