“The Making of a Super Human” is in fact a reflection of Nair’s painstaking professional experiences over the past two decades. A motivator par excellence from his early days of entrepreneurship, Nair’s early strategies relied on mental motivational techniques, which were similar to “Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)”.

Nair developed his own trademarked peak performance strategy called “Thought Process Reengineering (TPR)”, which formed the basis of his rapid success as an entrepreneur as well as a business consultant.

Nair, true to his wont of being a constant learner and perfectionist,  soon expanded his portfolio beyond TPR by focusing on the power of belief systems, which was also finding worldwide acceptance due to similar ideas like the “Law of Attraction”. Here also Nair’s consulting practice met with huge success, as he focussed more on the science behind belief systems. His earlier book, ‘Tathaastu’ (which means ‘so be it’), which was well received, is a culmination of this phase of his strategies.

However, as a peak performance consultant to cross sections of the society, Nair soon knew reasons for strategies like TPR and belief systems not permanently being effective for many people. He in fact found out that these techniques would work powerfully for a while but then some people would routinely fall back to their baseline or average performance. 

 For nearly a decade, Nair researched this riddle and found out the answer that human psychology and personal motivation was only half of the solution. He arrived at the conclusion that human physiology needed to be perfected for sustainable and thriving peak performance.

His research on this front has been unique, as he followed a multipronged approach. He consulted the best in the fields of preventive medicine, geneticists, and medical researchers. He reached out to the best in the world of  modern medicine and Ayurveda.

Armed with this knowledge, he turned to be a biohacker. Nair is an extreme health enthusiast, who willingly undertakes lifestyle experiments through advanced diagnostics, diet, fitness regimens, fasting, supplements and so on in his own body.

Nair has been a pioneer in India in personally undergoing advanced diagnostics like “Genetic Susceptibility Test and Gut Microbiome Test”, which are next generation diagnostics that even many doctors are unaware of. 

Nair has validated his research knowledge to bring out the principles of biohacks. Nair illustrates the art of fasting, practiced in India for ages, in the book to tell the health benefits of intermittent fasting. Nair explains the science behind intermittent fasting brilliantly, and also details his own personal experiences in practicing it for years.
