UYF Episode 12: The Texas Tasty Doctor Is In: Creativity, Courage & Care with Dr. Owais Durrani

From building a viral food brand in college to saving lives in the ER — Dr. Owais Durrani’s story is one of creativity, balance, and purpose. We talk about how he created Texas Tasty as a student, grew it into a statewide food and culture platform, and later used those storytelling skills to build a trusted medical presence online. He shares how he managed med school and residency (with help from his brother), his passion for inspiring kids through STEM education on KPRC, and how he’s working to fight misinformation in healthcare. Owais also breaks down the reality of AI in medicine, why the U.S. lacks a national patient database, and how that disconnect affects care from doctor to doctor. Plus, he sheds light on the growing specialist shortage — and how Medicare and Medicaid cuts could make it worse.
