High blood pressure affects nearly half of all U.S. adults, yet most people don’t know they have it. In this short episode, we unpack what blood pressure really is, what causes it to rise, and why it's often called the "silent killer."

Host Dr. Jason Arora and cardiologist Dr. Jaspal Gill walk us through what’s happening inside the body, how to measure it properly, and how to catch the early signs before it leads to something more dangerous.

In this special 4-part series on heart diseases, we're going to give you something that's getting harder and harder to come by: time with a cardiologist.

Access to medical care is a growing challenge—especially when it comes to specialists. In the U.S. today, a single cardiologist may be responsible for thousands of patients, and nearly half of all U.S. counties don’t even have one.

We’re joined by Dr. Jaspal Gill, Cardiologist and Clinical Research Fellow at the University of London, to break down the fundamentals of the most common—and most critical—heart conditions: high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, and arrhythmia.

Tried all the usual sleep hacks but still find yourself wide awake at 2 a.m.?

You’re not alone.

In this episode of The Health Curve, Dr. Jason Arora sits down with Harvard-trained sleep physician Dr. Sahil Chopra to dig into the deeper, less obvious reasons we can’t switch off.

From overlooked stress signals and tech traps to the cultural myths shaping our sleep expectations, this conversation goes beyond the basics to challenge conventional wisdom—and offer fresh insights that just might help you finally rest.

In the U.S., over 42% of adults are obese, nearly 12% have diabetes, and around 60% live with at least 1 chronic disease. Diet-related chronic diseases—including heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers—contribute to approximately 1 million deaths each year.

In a country overflowing with food, why are so many of us sick?

Host Jason Arora sits down with Neeti Mahajan, food industry exec, to take a big-picture look at how America's modern food system may be doing more harm than good. They explore how ultra-processed foods have fueled epidemics of obesity and diabetes, and why the way we farm is depleting soil and heating up the planet.

If you've ever wondered why junk food is so cheap but eating healthy is so hard, or how our dinner plate is connected to climate change, this episode will give you plenty of food for thought. But it's not all doom and gloom—Jason and Neeti also talk about what a better food future could look like.
