Sally So's Health Journey Inspires Genomii Wellness Revolution
Behind each innovation lies a tale of an individual. With Sally So, the founder of wellness platform Genomii, the tale began with a decades-long battle against chronic eczema—a condition that shaped her philosophy regarding wellness, empowerment, and knowing one's own biology.

When Personal Pain Becomes a Mission
Several years prior to beginning Genomii, Sally So was an accomplished public relations, marketing, and finance executive. Behind the façade of professional success, however, was a daily battle with chronic eczema—a painful, inflammatory skin condition that has had a direct bearing on her appearance, self-esteem, and lifestyle.
For over 40 years, So experienced constant itching, swelling, and discomfort, often hiding her face from the world. Something that became clear to her, however, was that managing health wasn't necessarily just about treating symptoms—it was about gaining a better grasp of what her body was saying.
This internal struggle was what inspired Genomii, a platform that translates health confusion into clarity through personalized wellness insights.
Seeing Skin Health in a New Perspective
Eczema was no longer merely a health issue—it was an eye-opener. Sally realized that healing only through creams and pills was not the answer. She began studying the genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors behind her flare-ups.
Her research revealed a startling find: her skin wasn't merely reacting to products or allergens—it was reflecting her internal health. Stress levels, what she ate the previous night, everything was affecting her condition. It was a wake-up call that transformed her life.
"I was told once, 'Once I realized my body was a map, I knew I needed a system that could monitor and analyze all of those interrelated signals,' says Sally.
The Genesis of Genomii: Where Knowledge Meets Innovation
From this need, Genomii was born. It's a more than just a wellness tracker, however. It's an artificial intelligence-assisted personal health platform that draws upon everything from gene data to lifestyle habits. Whether monitoring hormone changes, tracking inflammation, or visualizing diet effects, Genomii builds an integrated profile for each user.
Sally's dream was to give people the power to understand their own biology so that they could make choices that actually worked for them—not generic, one-size-fits-all advice.
The site gives users digital twins—computerized copies that allow them to simulate the effects of various lifestyle changes. It lets them visualize how incremental, small steps—better sleep, changed diet, daily movement—can affect their path of health.
Small Changes, Big Impact
Perhaps one of the most valuable lessons Sally learned from her experience is the incredible power of small habits. Whether she was switching to low-inflammatory foods or meditating before bed, all these teeny-tiny adjustments had enormous effects on her skin and mental health.
Genomii embodies this philosophy in that it zeroes in on realistic, evidence-based recommendations that users can enact at their own pace. The app doesn't encourage perfection—it encourages consistency.
"Real change in health isn't fireworks," Sally states. "It's subtle. It's in the decision to go to bed an hour sooner, drink an extra glass of water, or refuse one more stressor."
Leading a Global Shift in Personalized Health
With Genomii in beta around North America and growing around the world, Sally's vision still evolving. She's also become a health advocate, taking her platforms to communicate motivational insights and lifestyle tips to women attempting to better know their bodies.
Her plan for the future of health is one of individuality. By respecting the uniqueness of each body and giving users tools that can decipher internal messages, Genomii is revolutionizing how people take control of their well-being journeys.
Empowerment Through Understanding
Sally's message is uncomplicated yet powerful: you can't fix what you don't know. Genomii is there to eliminate the guessing and replace it with understanding - empowering you to crack the code of what your body is saying to you on a daily basis.
She is a testament to the age-old maxim that one's worst challenges can too often become that same person's greatest contributions.
