Traya Podcast Highlights
The co-founder of Indian health brand Traya interviews medical experts to debunk common health myths and home remedies for a parent audience.
This is the highlights channel for 'What The Health!', the content marketing podcast for the Indian health-tech brand Traya. Hosted by co-founder Saloni Anand, the show features interviews with medical doctors and wellness experts to debunk health myths and evaluate popular home remedies. Episodes tackle specific consumer concerns—from the safety of pacifiers to the efficacy of charcoal toothpaste—pitting viral trends and traditional beliefs against scientific evidence.

“Its tight focus on debunking specific, often Indian-centric, home remedies and wellness fads by pitting them against direct expert opinion stands out. The host's role as a brand co-founder lends the interviews a practical, consumer-advocacy feel rather than a purely journalistic one.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Saloni Anand's interview style is that of a curious and concerned learner seeking clarity for her audience.
