About the author

Tsiaras is an internationally renowned photojournalist and technology innovator who is the CEO and founder of Anatomical Travelogue and TheVisualMD.com. Years after his initial viewing of X-rays, Tsiaras taught himself myriad medical disciplines and programming languages that eventually led him to discover a way to use traditional images of the human body to build images and videos that demonstrate a wide array of health issues and disease states letting users learn, understand and interact with health content on the Internet. With a firm belief that access to health information will lead to a healthier population, Tsiaras’ latest venture has resulted in his imagery becoming the new standard used to explain wellness and disease. His work will power many of America’s premier media and online health programs and his wellness initiative, “The 9 Visual Rules of Wellness” is one of the most innovative health initiatives ever launched. Tsiaras’ dazzling images have been featured on more than 150 magazine covers, including those of TIME and LIFE. He is the publisher of six books, including a visual guide to coping with depression, a review and comparison of the human body, a guide to sexual health and a revolutionary image collection depicting the miracles of conception and birth. He has been a guest on NPR and has appeared numerous times on television, including on Oprah, NBC’s TODAY, MSNBC News, The Charlie Rose Show, Good Morning America and the BBC.
