Manan Vora

Dr Manan Vora is a double board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist and health and longevity educator, as well as the co-founder of his own nutrition company, NutriByte Wellness. Additionally, he is also a strategic partner and advisor to various health-tech start-ups, because why have just one career when you can have five? If that wasn't enough, he's also collected diplomas and fellowships from around the globe like they’re Pokémon cards, and also won the prestigious Edinburgh Surgery Global Scholar Award from the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh along the way.
When he’s not treating joint pains and soothing sore muscles, Dr Vora is busy being a health influencer with a social media following of over half a million! His Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube are treasure troves of fitness tips, joint health advice, and longevity mantras with a sprinkling of humour—because who said doctors can’t be funny? Dr Vora is known for saying, ‘Your age is a lie!’ which makes people rethink their life's choices, and well, their gym memberships.
A TEDx and Josh Talks speaker, Dr Vora has won multiple health influencer awards, including the Health Influencer of the Year by the IHW Council, supported by the NITI Aayog and the National Health Authority, Government of India. Dr Vora has spoken at numerous medical conferences, as well as corporate events, sharing his expertise on everything from orthopaedic and sports injuries to workplace wellness.
His day is incomplete without dedicating 90 minutes to his workout at the gym, and another ninety minutes to spending time with his loved ones at home. If you're looking for a dose of health advice with a side of wit, Dr Manan Vora is your go-to expert. Just don't ask him how he finds the time to do it all—he's too busy living his best life, and helping you live yours. But What Does Science Say? is his first book.
