Bengaluru based healthcare StartUp “Vieroots Wellness Solutions” led by biohacker and serial entrepreneur Sajeev Nair has brought to India for the first time an artificial intelligence-powered and smartphone-based concept of “Personalized Epigenetic Lifestyle Modifications (EPLIMO)”. The concept promises to radically transform health management, empowering people with much insight. 

Dr. Sajeev Nair, a successful entrepreneur and corporate consultant hailing from Kerala, has been associated with the wellness industry for over two decades. He has closely worked with specialist physicians, especially functional medicine specialists. On the way, he nursed the idea for improving healthcare delivery in India. 

Nair is a double postgraduate in Chemistry and Business. He used his science skills to study the healthcare trends and medical research output coming from the world’s best universities and hospital systems. In this process, he himself became a biohacker, experimenting on himself some of the latest breakthroughs coming up from healthcare research. 

He is also an evangelist of “Wellness Revolution 2.0”. While “Wellness Revolution”, which kicked off globally in 2000, has created a boom in the nutritional supplement, fitness, and anti-aging market, Nair believes that “Wellness Revolution 2.0” will be all about EPLIMO. This will be achieved through “Biohacking”, which in nutshell is taking charge of one’s own body and mind.

Biohacking, the “Do-It-Yourself (DIY)” realm of healthcare, has been a rage across the western countries. Nair has been one of the first biohackers in India, with his YouTube channel getting much attention in recent years. An accomplished speaker and author, his first book on biohacking, ‘The Making of a Superhuman’ is forthcoming.

This book is an outcome of years of research on ancient and modern medical treatises. Nair had for the past three years been researching the ideas of “Human Longevity and Peak Performance”.  However, he has written this book in layman’s language so that the maximum number of people can benefit from it. 

After getting convinced about the fact that aging can be slowed down or even reversed, he started propagating the concept of ‘Live Long, Stay Young.’  He subscribed to the school of thought that ‘ageing is a disease and hence can be cured.’  His entire research was with an objective to find ways and means for maintaining higher energy levels and productivity even at later stages in life.  He found that this is possible through biohacking. 

This subject is much relevant now as the average lifespan is increasing across the world. “While in the 1980s, it was 48 years in India, the average life expectancy now is 69 years  and it is expected to cross 75 by 2025.  Countries like Hongkong, Japan, etc have already got an average lifespan of over 80 years.  The saddest thing is that while the average life expectancy is increasing year after year, so is the burden of lifestyle diseases.  The incidents of diabetes or heart disease taking place at the age of 50 in the lives of the people who go on to live past 90 with the support of medicines are all around us. It is life getting extended or death getting extended?” asks Nair. He argues that it is not the lifespan, but the health span that matters.
