  • Believers Church Medical College Hospital ties up with Vieroots for EPLIMO Personalized Lifestyle Management

    Thiruvalla (Kerala) [India], June 30:  Believers Church Medical College Hospital, Thiruvalla, Kerala, has become the first multi-specialty hospital in India to offer the EPLIMO Personalized Lifestyle Management solution pioneered in India by Vieroots Wellness Solutions, a health-tech startup that was launched last year amid the pandemic’s first wave.

    Vieroots was founded by the Pioneer of Indian BioHacking Dr. Sajeev Nair, a renowned wellness evangelist, biohacker, lifestyle coach, and wellness author. His recent bestseller, ‘The Making of a Superhuman’ familiarized this part of the planet with cutting-edge innovations in wellness like biohacking and personalized epigenetic lifestyle modifications.

    Believers Church Medical College Hospital (BCMCH) was founded in 2014 and is a sprawling 743-bedded hospital with several specialities and super-specialities. Noted for offering the latest medical technologies in cardiology, nephrology, oncology, transplantation, and more, this NABH accredited hospital has now become the first multi-speciality hospital to offer EPLIMO Personalized Lifestyle Management from Vieroots.

    For Vieroots, this is all about entering the mainstream healthcare community. Speaking after the launch of this tie-up at the BCMCH campus on Friday, Vieroots CEO Aditya Narayan said this is the first in a string of such tie-ups being planned with leading hospitals across India.

    Today’s launch was attended by leaders from both sides including BCMCH Manager, Rev. Fr. Sijo Pandapallil; Director & CEO, Dr. George ChandyMatteethra; Dr. Geomcy George, Special Executive Officer; and a professional team from Vieroots led by its CEO Aditya Narayan and Director & COO, Sajeev VP.

    Ten doctors at BCMCH became the first EPLIMO clients there, and a permanent EPLIMO Desk was launched at the hospital for this novel solution that geno-metabolically finds chances for 200 lifestyle diseases and keeps them at bay through personalized lifestyle changes.

    Lifestyle diseases get their name from the simple fact that they are often triggered by lifestyle factors like overeating, inactivity, sleep loss, stress, pollution, smoking, alcohol, etc. Even when there are underlying genetic factors behind almost all such diseases, the trigger is often a faulty lifestyle that causes metabolic disorders that aggravate these lifestyle diseases.

    There are over 200 such common lifestyle diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, dementia, COPD, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc, which are the biggest killers every year. In fact, each of the Top 3 killers – Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases & Cancer, takes more lives than Covid-19 annually.

    If faulty lifestyles are the triggers, it is only common sense that comprehensive lifestyle modifications can prevent the genetic triggers from getting pulled. This has been not just an assumption but a scientifically validated truth from numerous studies. While the medical community is well aware of this, including lifestyle modifications is not part of a hospital’s core activity as their hands are already full with treating people who have already developed such diseases.

    In the developed world, especially in recent years, hospitals have started delivering lifestyle modification counselling and services also, as medical insurance companies cover lifestyle modifications too. Medical insurers there do even more, like the highly effective weight loss incentive, in which a special discount is provided on insurance renewal if the client loses 7-10% of weight a year. It will take time for such ideas to be implemented in India. With this tie-up, Vieroots has initiated a new dimension of World Class Health care in India.

    Meanwhile, Vieroots on its own had pioneered Personalized Lifestyle Management in India last year by launching EPLIMO, which runs genetic and metabolic assessments of each client to detect geno-metabolic chances for developing any of the hundreds of lifestyle diseases, and suggests Personalized Lifestyle Management spanning diet, nutrition, supplements, exercise, yoga, meditation, stress management, etc to keep such lifestyle diseases at bay. This next-generation technology which is available in only a handful of developed countries will be available from Believers Church Medical College Hospital from now on.

  • Vieroots’ Yoga Day Highlights Personalization

    Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 22: The easiest way to commercialize anything is by making it generic. That is how assembly-line cars replaced customized horse-drawn carts. And that is how modern medicine works too – the same pill for all diabetics.

    But that isn’t how the wellness wisdom of India worked. Ayurveda & Yoga used to be personalized solutions. Just like how all people have varying outward personalities, Indian medicine realized that each person is inwardly unique.

    The concept of Prakirti and the classification of people as belonging to the varying combinations of three basic Prakirtis – Vata, Pitta, & Kapha, was the first attempt by ancient medicine, in personalization.

    And they survive to this day simply because medicines prescribed based on these prakirtis work like a charm. But generic thoughts invaded these sectors too and Ayurveda & Yoga became commercialized and less effective.

    Today, medical research shows that people are unique, based on their genetics & metabolism. Personalized medicine is called precision medicine in the West and has become the buzz.

    Vieroots Wellness Solutions, a startup founded by renowned wellness evangelist & biohacker, Dr. Sajeev Nair, specializes in Personalized Lifestyle Management.

    Vieroots’ core product EPLIMO analyzes each client’s genetics & metabolism to detect geno-metabolic chances for developing 200 lifestyle diseases and suggests personalized lifestyle modifications spanning diet, supplements, exercise, yoga & meditation, which can keep these diseases at bay.

    Recently, Vieroots has taken their yoga-based interventions to a new orbit by tying up with the Himalayan School of Traditional Yoga (HSTY) which is one of the rare yoga schools that practise yoga as Sage Patanjali taught it.

    On International Day of Yoga, these two institutions came together to offer the world a glimpse of Personalized Yoga & Meditation. The day started with Vieroots founder, Dr. Sajeev Nair’s virtual Yogathon.

    A renowned public speaker and practitioner of yoga & meditation himself, Dr. Sajeev’s session was noted for highlighting the latest research on how Yoga benefits the human body at the cellular & mitochondrial level. Dr. Sajeev also led the audience through a guided meditation on Forgiveness & Gratitude, which proved once again why he is such a life-transforming speaker.

    The next session was on ‘Therapeutic Yoga & Meditation for Lifestyle Diseases’ led by Ms. Usha Lakshminarayanan, Head of Studies, and Ms. Subashree Thottungal, both from HSTY. Based on Ms. Usha’s knowledgeable narration, Ms. Subashree displayed several sittings, standing & prone asanas, as well as pranayamas, all of immense therapeutic value.

    In the final session, Vieroots presented a dazzling array of yoga theory & practice led by its medical & yoga professionals, Dr. Biju KS, Senior Medical Officer, Dr. Godmi Teresa Sunny, Ayurvedic Doctor & Yoga Practitioner, Ms. Ishara Patrao, Certified Lifestyle Coach & Yoga Instructor; and Vaija Nair, Certified Lifestyle Coach.

  • Personalization Comes to Yoga: 2 Giants – Dr Sajeev Nair and Mohan ji to form alliance: Vieroots Join Hands with the Himalayan School of Traditional Yoga

    Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 11: Heath and wellness world is excited about the new prospects this alliance of Vieroots and Himalayan school of Traditional Yoga will open up. Personalized wellness became the buzzword only in modern medical research. But India knew it all along, with its ancient systems like Ayurveda and Yoga giving great stress to personalization.

    Ayurveda’s Vata, Pitta & Kapha, and its numerous combinations are mankind’s first and still one of the most successful attempts at personalization. While Yoga too is based on these principles, too much of its Westernization makes it seem as though anyone can do any asana for the same therapeutic need.

    There are only very few Yoga Schools that differ from this kind of generic yoga, and foremost among them is the Himalayan School of Traditional Yoga (HSTY). This world-renowned yoga institution, with a clear focus on propagation of authentic, traditional yoga, is the vision of Mohanji, a world-renowned humanitarian and philanthropist, who has dedicated his life to serving the world and is the founder of several global organisations such as Mohanji Foundation, Ammucare Charitable Trust, ACT Foundation, World Consciousness Alliance and others, that are active in more than 25 countries.

    Himalayan School of Traditional Yoga (HSTY) is dedicated to propagating traditional yoga, i.e. the essence of yoga as per the original teachings codified in the scriptures by Maharishi Patanjali. Founded by Mohanji, HSTY’s mission is to promote a culture of yoga and make it accessible to all of mankind, beyond boundaries of country, religion, gender, class and wealth. HSTY is a Registered Yoga School with Yoga Alliance (USA) and an Associate Institute member of Indian Yoga Association.

    Meanwhile, on the modern personalization front, the advent of genetics has changed the game altogether, with capabilities now existing for predicting chances for developing hundreds of common lifestyle diseases, as well as for providing personalized epigenetic lifestyle modifications for keeping such diseases at bay.

    At the forefront of this sunrise research domain is Vieroots Wellness Solutions, whose EPLIMO is the first such genetics-based health-tech solution in India, which is deployed as an Artificial Intelligence powered smartphone app.

    EPLIMO stands for Personalized Epigenetic Lifestyle Modifications.  Under EPLIMO a client first undergoes a genetic test called VieGenome to detect chances for developing any among 200 lifestyle diseases and fine-tunes it with a detailed Metabolic Assessment. Based on this combined Geno-Metabolic Report, a detailed set of personalized lifestyle modifications are suggested in diet, supplements, exercises, yoga asanas, meditation techniques and more. EPLIMO is the frontier of wellness solutions anywhere in the world, which is scientifically validated to keep over 200 diseases at bay.

    EPLIMO is the brainchild of renowned wellness evangelist, pioneer of Indian biohacking & author, Sajeev Nair. It is only destiny that these two giants in their own spheres – Mohanji & Sajeev Nair – are now joining hands to advocate personalized yoga, which will change the face of therapeutic yoga forever with high efficacy and safety. Apart from providing personalized yoga therapy, the alliance will do cutting-edge research in unravelling the underlying links connecting yoga & meditation with epigenetics.

    “At Vieroots our mission is to empower people to take charge of their own health, which we want to achieve by providing tools, education and products which are derived from ancient Indian wellness wisdom, but backed by modern science.  We are quite excited about the possibilities on integrating Yoga and meditation with epigenetic science.” says Dr. Sajeev Nair who is also the Chairman and Managing Director of Vieroots Wellness Solutions Pvt Ltd.

    Through this collaboration there will be extensive research on the impact of specific yoga processes on prevention of various lifestyle diseases. This is the first time in the world that there is an ambitious research initiative like this to harness the power of yoga & meditation with genetic knowledge to create personalized yoga therapies.

    The Vieroots-HSTY alliance also offers great opportunities for Wellness Professionals, who are well-versed in yoga & meditation to gain from this new world-class platform.

    “Traditional yoga holds incredible wealth of knowledge from our ancient sages for humans to elevate themselves not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. HSTY is excited to partner this approach with Vieroots’ modern methods and add value to people around the world.” Says, Devi Mohan, Director of HSTY.
