Riya's Genome Testing Story
When “healthy” wasn't working, Decode helped her listen to her body, not the noise.
Riya was doing everything “right.”
She ran 5 km every morning. Ate salads, drank green smoothies, followed fitness influencers online. She checked every box.
And yet… she constantly felt bloated.
Her weight wouldn't budge. Her energy crashed by midday. Her sleep was light and restless. Blood tests came back normal, but she knew something wasn't right.
“I started thinking maybe I was just lazy or undisciplined. But deep down, I knew, something wasn't aligned.”
The Turning Point: Genome Testing
Riya discovered Decode, the genome testing service from Magnum SX. With a simple saliva swab, her DNA revealed what years of guesswork couldn't:
- Her genes had low efficiency in breaking down raw greens
- She had a sensitivity to gluten, which triggered bloating
- Her metabolism required higher protein, lower simple carbs
- She had a genetic variation impacting Vitamin D absorption
It wasn't her habit. It was her biology.
The Transformation
Once she adjusted her meals, swapping spinach for lentils, cutting gluten, increasing proteins and sun exposure, the changes were almost immediate.
Bloating reduced within a week
Sleep quality improved
Energy remained consistent through the day
Weight dropped naturally without extreme measures
“It felt like my body finally stopped fighting me… and started flowing with me.”
What Riya's Story Teaches Us
Genome testing doesn't give you more rules, it gives you the right ones. Decode didn't just help Riya eat better. It helped her trust her body again.
