SelfDecodeReviews of selfdecode.com

Wow!!! I finally found a service that enables me to monitor my own health. I have never seen a test so accurate to break down my DNA to find what I need to change in my life to have optimum health. This is the best gift you could offer a loved one!! You have the ability to monitor your own health!! Thank you Selfcode for being available for my health needs when so many doctors have failed to supply this information to me when requested.

The level of detail in the Wellness Reports is incredible. I would really like to see more of them. Also because many of the SNP's are so well documented (aside from the wellness reports) it is possible to delve into specific genes and make sure I am doing all the right things to improve or keep myself healthy.

Thank you SelfDecode for even trying to fix my daughter's incompatible Nebula / Sequencing WGS vcf file. I have tried to get help from these 2 other companies that did the WGS test but no luck. I had exactly the same problem with their "Ultimate" test sampled by LivingDNA, even though I had ordered with Sequencing, when it wouldn't upload even to Nebula. SelfDecode is absolutely the best beyond doubt.

For context of my commentary, I have used Nebula, Strategene and Self Decode’s products for my family. My opinion is as follows: 1. If the goal is prioritized ideas (to discuss with your doctor) for specific health conditions that are backed by rated research, this site is great. If understanding the underlying mechanisms is desired, requesting the legacy site is pretty helpful, but as a critique, I ended up doing a lot of Googling and YouTube to determine how to look at SNPs and where to direct my efforts from a whole body perspective. 2. I did WGS through Nebula whose tools were very unhelpful. Running the Nebula data through SelfDecode brought the data to life and ensured better sequencing accuracy which is the only area that I valued Nebula over SelfDecode. 3. Strategene looks at only the CURRENT clinically significant SNPs which means as research progresses, more testing will likely be needed. It’s nice because it gets rid of a lot of the unknown “static”, but SelfDecode casts a wider net on SNP screening which offers expansion as new gene studies come out. I did like that Strategene included flowcharts that detailed the biochemical pathways and the SNP impact % to gene speeds which SelfDecode does not currently include. This allowed me to see where the enzyme bottle necks were. That said, the site left me confused. The company also has limited suggestions for optimizing health which SelfDecode specializes. It is important to note that good regular exercise and sleep are probably the most effective health promoters and it is rare that a supplement will fix everything without trial and error with the help of a doctor. 4. Bottom line - SelfDecode is a site that is constantly updating and modifying it’s algorithms based on the newest published research available. Given that many SNP’s currently have limited research with new studies are pending and the fact that this site designed to be updated on the fly, user data can be re-interpreted based on the most recent study consensus. While I would like to see more commentary on where to focus my efforts from a whole body perspective and also more “dumbed down” biochemistry explanations, I think this site covers the bases for those looking for streamlined recommendations.

Both my husband & I chose SelfDecode DNA testing after hearing about it on Ben Greenfield’s podcast. Self-Decode has been a game changer for us. After being initiated into the functional medicine approach to health care about 14 years ago, having access to an incredibly comprehensive yet VERY EASY to understand DNA report system - we are now able to be proactive with our health. (And if you’re worried about how you might respond to any potential “bad gene discoveries” - the reports & suggestions are written & explained in such a way that you actually feel empowered.) A personal story: I was a healthy 53 yr old, had been on Keto for about 2 yrs as a proactive measure against typical menopause issues; felt great, lost weight; no brain fog; then had Self-Decode DNA testing done, reports came back I have about 20 bad cholesterol genes & “your body does worse on a high fat diet”. Got lab tests done & yup - cholesterol came back on the high side. Have since changed to Mediterranean Diet (recommendation on wellness reports). I would not have known Keto wasn’t right for my body because I did feel good & did lose weight. But with Self-Decode’s reports I’m now able to avoid some potential “silent killers” because I’ve been able to access the needed info. Can’t recommend Self-Decode highly enough.

I choosed Selfdecode by chance when I wanted to have analysis of my genes. Test kit shipping and analysis worked out well and after have been very satisfied with different kind of analysis packets.

An indispensable product. Some other DNA providers don't actually give you your detailed information and just provide reports. In my case, I was most interested in APOE and another provider wouldn't/couldn't tell me exactly what I was. Selfdecode does and know I can take steps to mitigate the exact risks I have and capitalize on any "good" genes. You won't be sorry investing in selfdecode.

SelfDecode is a robust platform that I use for chronic disease maintenance via nutrition and supplements. Also my reaction to some hypertension meds was verified by this platform as having very little effect. The reports are also specific to my DNA and backed by science. Excellent investment!
