Becoming Superhuman

I'm Dr. Nirvani Umadat, and after more than a decade in conventional dentistry, I started questioning everything I thought I knew about health. One day, a patient who did everything “right”—brushed and flossed religiously, avoided sugar, drank liters of water, and never missed a checkup—looked at me and asked: “Why do I still get cavities?” That question shook me. It wasn’t just difficult to answer—it was a wake-up call. It pushed me to dig deeper, to challenge the mainstream narratives, and to uncover the real connections between oral health, whole-body wellness, and even the energetic and spiritual aspects of healing. That’s why I created this podcast—to bridge the gap between peer-reviewed science and holistic wisdom so you can take charge of your health in a whole new way. From practical, science-backed strategies to exploring the deeper mind-body connection, I’m here to help you unlock the healthiest, most vibrant, and most superhuman version of yourself. Join me on this journey to Becoming Superhuman—because true health isn’t just about what’s happening in your mouth; it’s about what’s happening in your entire being.

What if everything you’ve been taught about reality—and even your own health—is upside down?

In this mind-bending conversation, Nirvani sits down with Mark Gober, Princeton graduate, Silicon Valley entrepreneur, and author of seven books in The Upside Down Book series. Known for his meticulous research and sharp dismantling of mainstream assumptions, Mark challenges our deepest beliefs about medicine, consciousness, and the very nature of existence.

You’ll walk away questioning everything you thought you knew: why the reductionist model of medicine fails to account for mind–body healing, how near-death and out-of-body experiences reveal a far stranger reality than biology textbooks admit, and why our obsession with “germs” misses the deeper cause of disease. Mark also breaks down the staggering evidence for consciousness beyond the brain, how your mindset might literally shape your body, and why intellectual humility—not blind trust—is the first step to health and freedom. If you’re ready to peel back the layers of cultural conditioning and rethink what it really means to be alive, this episode is your rabbit hole.
