Found a solution to my health issues after years of guessing!
After years of unsuccessful trips to various doctors, I decided to take a DNA test and figure out on my own what was wrong with my health. SelfDecode provided the answers and my symptoms made perfect sense! All it took was to download their "High Blood Sugar" report to find out why I feel sick following a regular "healthy" diet (full of whole grains and fruit)! Since I'm in the 5% of population having the genetic setup causing issues, I would have probably spent a few more years guessing and feeling sick, if it wasn't for SelfDecode. Thank you so much.

Self Decode for Lifetime
I love Self Decode. I've been getting genetic reports for years from different services ( Prometheus, found my fitness, 23, etc), and I appreciate the UI of these reports, and especially how it keeps evolving. New reports are coming out, I can look up different genetic disorders and back trace, buy products, and get testing. I bought a lifetime membership, and am excited to see where the company goes.

Effective and Actionable Information
Self Decode gave me effective genetics-based recommendations for supplements I was able to add to my regimen to further improve my health and address some issues I had. The information provided also helped me to confirm which supplements I was already taking were actually needed, such as methylation helpers. I also used their testing services to identify and correct low Vitamin D levels, low-normal Testosterone, and high Eosinophils count.

Patience and Perseverance Pay Off
I have been following SelfDecode from the beginning. The promise was not to launch the business until they had the very best people and products in place. I'm excited to say they succeeded! I just received my DNA Test Kit. The instructions are easy to follow and I can collect the sample in the privacy of my own home. I just drop the sample in the mail and they do the rest. I can't wait to get the results so I can use all the online tools they provide to make a plan toward wellness based on my own DNA. SelfDecode...you did not disappoint!

Hey Veronica! Thanks for your review! It's so great to hear from someone who has been around since the beginning. :)
You must be so excited to get your results. Once you've sent it in to our lab, all you need to do is wait for the email letting you know that your results are ready and then you can start exploring your DNA reports. Of course, please reach out to our customer support team using the "Help" button at the bottom right corner of the screen if any questions come up! We're always happy to help.
Thanks again for your review and for being a loyal customer, Veronica!

This is a scam. Impossible to cancel
This is a scam, much more effort is put into upselling you than giving you info, and it is nearly impossible to cancel.
A year ago we were advised by our doctor that genetic testing would be a good idea, so we spent over $600 as a family getting a rather basic kit and a 1 year subscription. it took 5 weeks for us to get the kit, antoehr 6 weeks for it to get "processed" (but you are paying the annual fee, even before you get results.
Finally we get results and we give them to our doctor who tries to use what we given with both her tools and the self decode site and cannot get any info. We send several emails to customer service which are ignored or point to irrelevant links. the is NO phone support (or at least a number we could find, certainly never offered.
We put it on hold.
A day before it is about to renew, I try again to call a customer support number, (try to find one on their site, I dare you). there is none, But with difficulty if find the "cancel my subscription" link buried deep in the site. I cancel.
Next day I get an email that they have renewed my subscription anyway. I contest, no 800 number, so I find ae email (not well listed) and file a complaint. (trust pilot does not allow me to include an email address)
I say this:
PLEASE CANCEL< I Logged in and canceled this last night. call me immediately
Self Decode replies:
Hi Scott,
Sorry for the trouble. I am happy to assist, and we can definitely get that done by email, but I will need your help.
It looks like you purchased an annual subscription with us, which maintains your access to SelfDecode, SelfDecode Labs, and SelfHacked. We do not have any record that your subscription was canceled prior to auto-renewal.
We're sorry to hear that you want to cancel your subscription. If there are any issues that I can resolve for you, I'm more than happy to do so.
I have carefully looked into your request, and we can't issue a refund according to our policy, which does not allow for refunds on auto-renewals. I am truly sorry about this.
You can take a look at our refund policy here; you can find it under Renewals, Cancellations, And Refund Policy
If you do not want your subscription to renew next year, you can set it to non-renewal according to these instructions: How to Cancel Your Subscription
Also, I just wanted to set expectations for response times in the future, because I know it can be painful to feel like you're just left hanging in the lurch.
When you email us, you can expect a response within 24 hours of your email being sent, excluding holidays. We're usually even faster than that, but something to note is that we are a pretty small team, and we're working our best to make sure everyone gets an answer quickly.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist with. I'm happy to help.
This is a lie, I canceled last night. (Should I have filmed it?) With no email to send to or phone number to call you are not given a receipt or a identification number of any kind.
Don't get suckered in. what ever info you think you will get, you will not get it, and you will be out hundreds of dollars.
Response from SelfDecode· Jun 17, 2022
Hey there, I hope this reply finds you well. I want to apologize for any confusion about how to cancel your subscription or get in touch with our team. I can totally understand how frustrating that must have been for you.
Before we get too much further, I want to mention that I wanted to review our email history with you, since you mentioned some difficulty accessing your results and getting help from our team. We don't have any record of you reaching out to us before so I was unable to do this.
If you ever need to reach us in the future, please use the "Help" button at the bottom right of the screen to start a live chat or send us an email. We usually respond to emails within a few hours. We have customer support coverage 7 days a week, and our team is always happy to jump on a phone call or schedule a video call if needed to resolve an issue.
I also want to mention that the annual subscription period doesn't start until your results are actually uploaded, to make sure that you get the full year with your results. If you notice that's not the case, we'd happy to fix it for you.
Because we want everyone to be happy with their purchase, we offer a generous 30-day moneyback guarantee on initial sign-ups, and our customer support team reviews any refund requests thoroughly to make sure we're being fair to our customers.
Since you reached out to us before your subscription auto-renewed and we were unable to cancel it in time, we decided to issue a refund. We communicated this on our phone call with you today, but we wanted to make sure to reinforce that for you here, too.
Take care, and if you have any other issues, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll be happy to assist.

Enlightened Genetic Tool
SelfDecode is a fantastic resource that empowers me to understand my genetic basis, as well as informs me about how to enable my “healthy” genes and down regulate the not-so-healthy genes. I have learned that I don’t have to be a victim of my genetics because there are many environmental factors and choices I can make to improve my health and well being. It is a truly enlightening tool!
