Breaking News:Weight Loss: 86 kg to 74 kg in 3 months: The power of a genetics-led weight loss regimen |– What Just Happened

At 53, this South Indian woman was stuck in a cycle many of us know too well: fatigue that never seems to go away, knee pain that makes even short walks a struggle, constant acidity, mood swings, and a weight gain that refused to budge. She had tried dieting, exercise, the usual “eat less, move more” advice, but nothing seemed to stick. At 86 kg with a BMI of 28.4, even running one kilometre felt impossible. Regular alcohol and stress-induced snacking didn’t help either.The turning point came when she underwent a genetic and metabolic evaluation. What it revealed was eye-opening. She carried a high genetic risk for elevated LDL cholesterol, magnesium and zinc deficiencies, carbohydrate sensitivity, insulin resistance, emotional eating tendencies, thyroid concerns, and a moderate risk of weaker bone density, all factors that made traditional weight loss approaches almost doomed to fail.Dr Sajeev Nair, biohacking expert and founder of health-tech startup Vieroots, explained that this case highlights why “one-size-fits-all” solutions rarely work. “When lifestyle choices are aligned with genetic predispositions, the body responds faster—and keeps the benefits longer,” he says.So, a personalised plan was created around her body’s actual needs. The focus was simple: reduce inflammation, stabilise metabolism, and slowly rebuild strength. Her diet shifted to high-protein, low-carb meals, timed to prevent sugar crashes. Magnesium and zinc supplements supported energy, immunity, and muscle recovery. Alcohol was cut back, stress management techniques were added, and workouts were gentle but consistent—low-impact cardio and strength training designed to protect her knees.The results were striking. In three months, she dropped from 86 kg to 74 kg, bringing her BMI down to 24.4. Fatigue eased, knee pain diminished, and she could comfortably run 4 km, a huge leap from barely managing one kilometre. Acidity decreased, moods stabilised, and mental clarity improved. Even her long-term metabolic risks, like high LDL and insulin sensitivity, came under control. And genetically, she was less likely to regain the weight, showing that a personalised approach can truly make change stick.
