My raw ancestry dna was not testable. Seems a few important caveats were missing and therefore couldn't be run. I'm curious now. How could they be missing?

I believe it was a prefabbed session . I once again. I was Not able to ask a question. Same script?

Don't bother, I paid the sale rate of $68 since I already had an Ancestry DNA, they told me it was so good and I would have to pay $149 to get the results now I am out 68 already and they want more, but they would apply only $40 of the 68 to the total, so I went ahead and give them another $100. Dummy me, I got a list of foods I should eat, which I already knew what is healthy what is not. So I paid $140 to find out lean meat, grain, and leafy vegs. What I wanted and expected was a list of what I should not eat for MY body, what makes "me" bloat, what makes "me" add weight etc. (besides the obvious). Just google healthy foods. There you have it and it will be free they do nothing to tell you about YOU in particular. I feel robbed. Not once but twice. It told me I was not lactose intolerant which I already knew. I am no wiser today but $168 poorer.

Very disappointed in this. I have celiac disease and I'm lactose intolerant. Both of these were noted in my genetic report. However, the food recommendations contained lactose and gluten-containing foods as my recommendations. Gluten can actually kill me if consumed. I asked for a refund because the recommendations were not helpful. *update, they did say this food allergy issue is in the FAQ's, something I did miss before purchasing. Here was the response, Thanks for reaching out to us. I sincerely apologize for your disappointment with your GenoPalate results. Unfortunately we are unable to factor your current dietary restrictions and preferences into your results at this time, but hope to in the very near future. We try to be as transparent as possible with our customers regarding this. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding your results, please let me know. Unfortunately since you've already received your results, we are unable to refund your order at this time.

I'm not sure if it's a scam or not...I received my results rapidly. I can't believe some of the food choices listed--not in the realm of everyday life at my grocery store. I'll try to make a substitution. Bagels--you've got to be kidding me...when I eat those I balloon up...my report is a high carbohydrate even though a high protein diet gives me great results. The report says I am not lactose intolerant...LOL--sick to my stomach with creamy milk products. I include some on the things in my diet but I didn't need your list to do that. A basic meal plan like LA Weight loss would have been a nice touch rather than force us to figure out any type of serving size or number of servings. I've actually gone back to my LA Weight Loss plan which shows exactly how many proteins, starches, veggies, and fruit can be eaten in a day and it's things I've heard off rather than special cut of meat that I probably have to go to a butcher for. It has served me well and I'm not about to try to figure out your proportions. And no I'm not buying anything else.

I honestly thought the report was a great tool to use for people with health challenges. I’m a licensed clinical therapist and have several chronic conditions myself, however when I can back to the site to look at my report, there was a pop up box that forced me to sign away my right to keep my information private. It says ‘ 1. Privacy Policy. We may collect, use and disclose information from or about you, including personal information, as described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any terms in our Privacy Policy, do not use our Services.’ It goes on to say that because they collect dna info they can use that too - and there is no option to say no. So now that I’ve already paid for this report and they have my money, and I refuse to sign this agreement, I no longer have access to it AND they want me to agree that my purchase was somehow an agreement for them to use my info in any way they please. Feels like a major back handed attempt to fish for personal Info from consumers.

Just purchased this and I must say I am disappointed. My DNA test which I uploaded to their site says I have a variant for celiac disease. I was diagnosed with this about 15 years ago but their report recommends a high percentage of bread and grains in my diet. I must say this report which I have a feeling every one gets the same format relies pretty heavily on NIH diet guidelines is not very helpful.

I was disappointed by the information. Some of it was contradicting and confusing. Food suggestions were VERY limited and there was no way to access more indepth info. Recipes are ridiculously priced. Had I known this ahead of time I wouldn't have spent the money.
