Founder, Trend Wire Group

Yash Malviya founded Trend Wire Group and edits Health Trend Wire. He started the title because most wellness coverage rewards whoever shouts loudest, not whoever is right, and he sets the rule the desk writes to: a trend earns a story only when there is a primary source behind it and a plain reason it matters to the reader. He does not give medical advice, and he keeps the coverage on what the evidence actually shows rather than on what is trending that week.

Background: Editorial team member at Health Trend Wire; researches health and wellness trends, verifies each claim against its primary source, and edits AI-assisted drafts to publication. Not a medical professional; Health Trend Wire reports on the research and does not give medical advice.
