The Health Curve
The Health Curve simplifies complex health topics, explores impactful ideas shaping the future of human health, and raises awareness of critical issues affecting underserved communities. By making science-backed health information accessible, we empower individuals and communities with credible insights and practical tools.
On the podcast, I speak with a wide range of voices — from public health scientists, clinicians, and entrepreneurs to advocates, artists, and coaches. Together, we unpack the science, challenge assumptions, and tackle the growing gaps left by misinformation and failing healthcare systems.
The Health Curve Podcast is hosted by Dr. Jason Arora — Oxford- and Harvard-trained physician, public health scientist, yoga and mindfulness instructor, and award-winning health innovator - Forbes 30u30, Fulbright Scholar, Harvard Public Health Innovator Award-Winner, and Aspen Health Fellow.
