The DNA sample was very easy to collect and mail. I’m now waiting for results and recommendations based on those results.

I must say that I am very biassed having been so impressed with SelfDecode's manner and response to questions that I joined them with WeFunder 3 years ago. I have tested with Sequencing and also have a lifetime subscription with Nebula Genomics, but these other companies are very slow to respond to criticism of their reports.

USELESS. Paid for lifetime membership years ago and still can’t get my raw data. Furthermore most of the provided analysis is generic and conflicting, anything worth looking at is hidden behind another paywall, and the whole platform has been dumbed down to a shoddy marketing scheme. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I wasted mine and still can’t afford to get more useful test despite my doctors strong recommendations.

Hi Emily. We're truly sorry to hear about your frustration with your experience on SelfDecode. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we genuinely want to address your concerns. Regarding access to your raw data, we understand its importance and want to assist you in obtaining it. To clarify, your raw data is always available to you on your My Account page. Our Customer Support team is happy to help you find it if you're having trouble locating the My Account page. We apologize if you found some of our analysis generic or conflicting. Conflicting recommendations can sometimes happen when a recommendation helps improve a specific area of your health. For example, to improve your health in area A, we may recommend eating more protein, however to improve your health in area B, we may recommend eating less protein. We suggest using our recommendations feature to avoid any confusion. The list of recommendations we provide is prioritized for you based on the number of risks (genetic, lab, lifestyle) it will help with. Additionally, your top recommendations may tend to be the things that seem "generic" or obvious, because they are the dietary, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations that are going to be most effective and have the most research behind them. I assure you, our platform has not been dumbed down. In fact, SelfDecode is the only company using cutting-edge Polygenic Risk Scoring for the direct-to-consumer market. We analyze millions of variants per health topic, which means the most accurate risk scores, and the best personalized recommendations based on your DNA. Not only that, but we compared our methods to the leading academic and industry models and ours outperformed these. As for features behind our subscription model, we've carefully curated our offerings to provide a balance between free and premium content. We're constantly evaluating and refining our approach to ensure it aligns with the needs of our users. We understand your disappointment and want to assure you that we're committed to providing value for our members. If you have any further concerns or if there's anything specific we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support Team.

I was downloading a report that i had set in motion. I like knowing what my genes are doing so I can help myself and my body be the best it can be. SelfDecode helps me do that. I love the reports and Joe's podcast. I enjoy the posts that Joe does. It helps me go outside of the box in terms of thinking of things I wouldn't normally. I've been trying alot of the supplements Joe suggests, more often than not I find them helpful. I have a gut situation, so am always navigating that. BTW, I'm an energy healer, meditation teacher and a personal trainer.
