This is the most useful genetic analyser I have yet to come across, information presented in a straight forward manner with clear advice on what can be done to work with your genes. Whilst this is all newer data, its good to also have lifetime access so as the technology moves forward you can review and revise your interventions along the way.

Excellence
I first became acquainted with Joe (the Founder) through his interviews with various health authorities he posted to YouTube. He seemed to be genuinely interested in helping both himself and others. I actually got a PEMF machine from Dr. Dennis because of one of his interviews.
Now, the importance of the fact that Self Decode doesn't sell your genetic data can't be overstated--other companies sell it!
Their Health Reports cut straight to the point of actionable material--and I really believe the recommendations work (eg, they recommended, for my MTHFR genetic variant, I ingest more methylfolate, so I had spinach and felt like a million bucks).
Their customer service also shines--they're never too far away if there's a correction that needs pointing out (not infrequent, but I guess it's understandable considering the amount of material they're shoveling through the screen). They respond rather quickly (I don't think they've taken longer than a day) and I've mostly had good interactions with them.
One thing that bothers me, though, is that, in the "recommendations" of the Health Reports, they always link to stuff that, when you go to look at it, is actually "questionable"--so, some of the suggestions aren't really "rock solid", they're "experimental" (and Joe, in his interviews, has spoken about this aspect of his approach--experimentation), when I'm looking for information I KNOW is going to work--maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they'd avoid getting my hopes up by marking such recommendations "experimental", or listing them separately?
CORRECTION : "always... experimental" meaning there'll tend to be some recommendations on reports which, when you follow the link (to learn more), it will be listed under "not enough evidence".

Thanks for your review, Dan!
I'm not aware of any experimental recommendations on the site! Please feel free to reach out to support if there are any concerns.

Cassie provided outstanding customer support service with my SelfDecode reports. I highly recommend this testing to learn more about your genetic report. Very comprehensive report for the cost and information is very useful.

Improving my life with great insights!
I have used many other DNA sequencing services. The SelfDecode team has a different approach that I find unique. It is an educational tool where you can follow the cutting-edge research of genetics related to your DNA. Since I started, I have learned a lot from reading those excellent posts and relating them with my SNPs (DNA polymorphisms). The user interface and the overall experience are excellent and straightforward. The content is well structured with simple language, but someone can dive into the most complicated and geeky information if needed. The price is reasonable. I have improved many aspects of life by discovering strategies around sleep, exercise, and diet (I was gluten sensitive but didn't know that) and a strategy around MTHFR and my homocysteine metabolism.
Well done!

I had a problem uploading my husband's DNA raw data but my helper was able to get me completed with prompt responses to my emails. I'm grateful for her help.

Insightful
Basically it shows me which genes I have to worry about and which genes I don't have to worry about.
I can research various genes and each section has a personalized element/content.
