So here is a plainly stated, straightforward statement on what Self Decode is to me: Joe gives me actionable data that is unique and specific to me, takes the ambiguity out of interventions, and pulls-back the curtain on underlying mechanisms that explain lab results and the phenotype that is me. Here is a specific example: I work in emergency medicine where I am constantly exposed to the infamous Teradactyl flu and other plenty of other bad stuff, so I began taking lipophilic quercetin to reduce the likelihood of experiencing a severe infection. Around the same time, I began experiencing significant bilateral epicondylar pain that was affecting my grip strength. This could have been attributed to any number of causes, the least likely being an anti-inflammatory I was taking right. So, I took a deep dive into my SNPs and guess what, I have a polymorphism that suppresses COMT activity that I was making way way worse with quercetin supplementation. I stopped taking that supplement and my pain went away. This is just one of several examples of how Self Decode has given me the data I need to make precision-guided decisions for my health.

One of the best investments you can make for yourself and wellbeing
I've been following Joe since 2016 throughout his SelfHacked days, and now, SelfDecode as paying member. The information provided from their DNA reports is invaluable for anyone looking to understand themselves better from a genetic health standpoint.
Whether you're looking for ways to gain control over your chronic illnesses like myself, learn about any predispositions you may have to prevent serious health issues in the later years or optimize your health for maximum performance, SelfDecode is a lifelong companion to help you achieve just that.
The reports are extremely detailed and keep evolving over time as new scientific research and discoveries becomes available.
They cover a dazzling array of topics that explain how your genes influence the likelihood to suffer from common physical and behavioral health issues of all natures such as allergies, respiratory difficulties, sleep problems and deficiencies of all kinds all the way to any potential issues, or genetic advantages, your body may have with essential nutrients, vitamins, amino acids and so much more.
Everything is explained in an easy to understand manner with scientific research links provided directly within each report. You will learn what the element is, where it is in your body, how it is made, used and what are its positive and negative effects in your body. There are multiple suggestions of what can be done to potentially improve any marker you deem problematic.
The Lifestyle analyzer helps you find out how your lifestyle is likely to affect your body based on your genetic composition. This is highly useful to better understand the things you need to do, or stop doing, to maintain and improve your health.
Tie this all in with the ability to upload blood test results to get even more precise information about your current state so you can know to focus on.
My experience with the Self Decode team has always been great. They provide quick, cordial and thorough responses to any type of inquiries. I also love the fact that everything is highly transparent when it comes to their privacy policy and how they operate their business. There is no pushy sales tactics of any kind.
For those who want guidance and help on their health journey, their new personalized 1-on-1 consultation with expert health practitioners can help you get to the next level faster.
If you follow Joe on his social media, you will see that he lives what he preaches fully. Joe truly cares about what he does to help everyone.
Being healthy is priceless and the enormous amount of value SelfDecode provides is worth the investment in yourself for the years to come.
Simply by following basic advice from the reports, I've made changes to my life that resulted in higher energy levels throughout the day with greatly reduced episodes of brainfog and much better control over the flare-ups of my chronic health issues. And that's only the beginning...
I just can't recommend it enough.

I first got into genetic testing through another company but moved across to self decode when i learned that they would also analyse my data . At first I chose a monthly subscription to check out the site but then when i saw the enormous amount of genes that are tested and how the company uses A I to expand that information i decided to have my genes analysed again . I was really impressed with the results .
Having had some persistant symptoms which were worrisome and some family health problems i am relishing the opportunity to research these issues myself ; all the data is there or you are directed where to find more detail. After all , who has more investment in keeping you healthy but you ! Drs are too pressed for time to really delve deeply and just hope for symptom suppression with some tablet or other which often brings with it its own negative side effects !
Also a large amount of my research centres around longevity (my great grandmother lived to six days shy of her 100th birthday … i think she was robbed and want to beat her record , and get my congratulatory letter from King Charles !) and becoming one of the welderly in my old age … that is … old people who are both well and elderly, without the chronic conditions that plague many .
I love Self Decodes Test Results upload feature …and most of all , that it provides optimal values … it doesnt lump you in with all the sick peoples blood test results … which are less than optimal ! Good job guys ! Love your work ! The absolute future of healthcare !
Cheers , Sandra from Australia

SelfDecode provides personal medical info for adoptees, and others who cannot obtain a family history.
SelfDecode has been extremely valuable to me as the family history that I received from my biological family had inaccuracies, and omissions. I recommend SelfDecode to any person looking for a family health history. Over and over again, I see many individuals who are attempting difficult searches, and sometimes rejection, just to get information that is so much less than SelfDecode provides. A personal, in-depth health history is more apropos than a historical family history, for a patient’s current medical needs. Many people I encounter already have a DNA profile that they are using to search for family with. It is easy to upload that information here.
While I have 19 years of experience using medical terminology, you don’t need to know any to use this site. The descriptions are very specific and user friendly. I appreciate the reports that I have recently been able to regenerate. Updated information is so necessary when addressing health matters.

Self- decode was one of the very first…
Self- decode was one of the very first companies that was available for a do it yourself genetic search through your SNPs. From the very first I was impressed. Over the years through extraordinary hard work and obvious dedication to his cause, Joe has made a phenomenal contribution to the well being and health of so many. It’s well worth every penny one might spend at self decode. Functional Drs. are by far, more costly and nowhere near as convenient. In fact, because I had self decode early on I was able to teach my grandson’s Functional Dr. a thing or two! I plan on sticking with this company as long as they are around. I really haven’t found anything comparable. I also appreciated the emails with the updates on each new program available. All pretty cool if you ask me. Thank you Joe for all your hard work, you have done extraordinary things. Regards, Sylvia K.
