Dr. Manan Vora on Vaping, Ice Baths & Bone Health | Nutrition & Sleep | Karishma Mehta | Ep 49

“Mental health is more important than physical health—there, I said it! As a Sports Medicine Doctor, I truly believe that. So when it comes to maintaining overall health, it’s about taking care of both together. Lifting weights is something I recommend to everyone for physical health. And what people say about ‘you are what you eat’ is absolutely true! And of course, sleep is so underrated—the lesser you sleep, the less productive you feel.”

Scrolling through the Instagram feed of ‪@dr.mananvora‬ you’ll find many such useful tips. An Orthopaedic Surgeon coming from a family of doctors, Dr. Manan was never pressurized to be one! And so, a national and state-level athlete, Dr. Manan’s passion for sports and medicine led to him becoming a Sports Doctor.

Along with contributing to the field of medicine, he also shares his wealth of knowledge with his community of 400K online. From bone health to gut health, and nutrition to sleep, Dr. Manan talks about it all!

So join us for a conversation on all things health with Dr. Manan, where we dive deep into a whole range of topics—from optimal sleep to bone health, and from basics of nutrition to physical activity and recovery, and so much more.

Sprinkled with valuable insights and tips, this podcast is a good place to start, if you’re relooking at your health and your habits. We promise you WILL take away some value by the end of it… Do not miss it!
