Royan Kamyar, M.D., MBA
Co-host · Founder and CEO, Owaves
As a medical intern in Manhattan, Royan lived medicine’s great irony: treating diseases driven by schedules that override our biology, on a schedule overriding his own. He founded Owaves to make time our #1 vital sign; its BodyClock AI works as a personal circadian coach, finding each user’s best windows for deep sleep, deep work, exercise and meals.
He chairs the Body Clock Institute, and his work has been featured by Reuters, Forbes, The Washington Post and Fox News. A graduate of Baylor College of Medicine and UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management, he spends his off-hours at the chessboard, in the pool with his two daughters and, six times so far, at the World Cup.
