We support DNA data from the following test providers: 23AndMe, Ancestry, Courtagen, Family Tree, My Heritage, Atlas, Map My Genome, Diagnomics, Genes For Good, DNA.Land, Illumina, Genos (Version 1), Genos (Version 2), Living DNA, and iGene.

Alternatively, you could look into whole genome sequencing which can provide you with information on all 10 million SNPs and many other types of genetic variations.

Understanding your genetic tendencies can tell you a lot about whether your diet, lifestyle, or certain remedies, are working for or against you.

A great example of this is the Apolipoprotein E gene, which is discussed in depth in SelfDecode's APOE DNA Wellness Report. Many people with brain fog carry the risk allele -- E4 -- and do better with less meat and animal products in their diet.

Whether you seek to optimize your health or overcome a pre-existing issue, getting your DNA genotyped will tell you a lot about your body and open doors to effective gene-targeted protocols.

Humans have about 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the majority of which have no effect on health. To make genotyping affordable, DNA testing companies focus on a subset most relevant to their goals, such as for identifying ancestral lineage or for health research.

23andme tests approximately 650,000 variants, while Ancestry tests for 669,000 variants. The SelfDecode DNA kit tests over 700,000 variants.

The SelfDecode DNA chip will help ensure you don’t miss out on your core health SNPs. The latest version of 23andme appears to exclude several SNPs SelfDecoders are interested in.

You’re at the right place!

SelfDecode was created to help people just like you make the most of their genetic data. In the past year, we have released our DNA Wellness Reports, which shortlist your most important SNPs, explain their importance, and give gene-targeted health tips anyone can understand.

We make it easy to understand if your genes are producing positive or negative health effects on our Personalized Genetics Blog by showing you a red sad face, orange neutral face or green happy face. Then, we provide personalized suggestions based on your unique results. 

All of our information is backed by science, so you'll always find references throughout our reports and articles, but we work hard at analyzing the information so that we can present it to you in an easy-to-understand manner. 

Your genes remain the same, but new technologies and research continue to emerge. With a subscription to SelfDecode, you’ll have an exclusive first look at this new information and how it relates to your own health and wellness. 

Additionally, health and lifestyle changes take time, so always having access to your SelfDecode dashboard will help you to stay on track and make changes at a pace that works for you. If you encounter new health-related symptoms, you can easily track possible gene-related causes or contributions with instant access to our Symptoms & Conditions Analyzer.

Plus, a subscription gives you unlimited access to the world's first Personalized Genetics Blog! On the cutting edge SelfDecode blog, we discuss various traits and delve into how one or more genes interact with these traits.

We have a personalized algorithm that gives you a score - good, neutral or negative - for a given trait based on the variants we analyzed. And you will get new blog posts DAILY.

We are also planning robust community platform where users can easily compare their genes and discuss their conditions with people experiencing the same symptoms. Additional health tracking software, reports and laboratory testing integrations are also coming soon. 

Alternatively, if you prefer a non-subscription model, you can upgrade to a lifetime membership!

Once you sign up to SelfDecode there will be a Demo Tour to walk you through the app.

Yes, we do.  You can find information about our affiliate program here.

You can search for specific genes or SNPs using the search function, which can be found by clicking the magnifying glass on the right side of the navigation bar.

Your genetic information should be considered in the context of your health, your symptoms, medical history, current treatments, and lifestyle factors. If your genes suggest some low-risk health hacks or lifestyle changes to meet your health goal, it might be worth trying them. However, it is best to only make high-risk or drastic changes while being monitored by a healthcare professional. In all cases, consult your healthcare practitioner. SelfDecode is not to be used as a replacement for medical advice, treatment, or diagnosis.

The lifetime plan (a one-time fee of $297 or $387 with a DNA Kit) includes all current and upcoming features and DNA Wellness Reports on SelfDecode for one user.

These new features include:

• The Personalized Genetics Blog, which will regularly give you personalized health recommendations based on your genes

• A new and improved symptoms and conditions analyzer

• Unlimited FREE DNA Wellness Reports
