Health Testing Reviews for SelfDecode

Unethical when companies auto renewal and don’t refund when trying to cancel.

Not the type of company I prefer to have my business.

Value for the money us questionable.

SelfDecode’s test results were very generic and I was not able to get any useful/actionable information from them. They send daily spam emails and quietly auto-nenew billing. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

Test will tell you that basically everything is an issue for you and they charge you a subscription that you do not actually sign up for. DO NOT USE

On the plus side there is quite a bit of information on their website, but it’s not exclusively owned by them. You can find this information elsewhere. The way the site is set up is very confusing and unorganized. You can’t see your actual genetic snps, either. And my Vitamin D level, which is 30 was deemed optimal on this website. I would say it definitely wasn’t worth my 97$.

If you think this company is in the business of helping people improve their lives, think again. Their subscription option sounds like a great, affordable idea until you realize they charged you for another year without notice. I honestly did not get much out of the service for the year I had it. The reports are generic and largely unhelpful. With this, I had no intentions of paying $97 to sign up for another year. They have always bombarded my inbox with offers and ways to take more of my money, so I got used to deleting them immediately. I have read online that the subject of the email a month before the subscription was set to renew was incredibly misleading and easily overlooked. Many have had this same issue. After reaching out to customer service, I was told I could not be refunded despite canceling my subscription as soon as I realized. They claimed that what I paid had already gone toward the service for that period. What service did you administer to someone who hasn’t been active on her account for months? These people are looking to grab your money any chance they get. Any other company I’ve paid money to on a subscription-like basis is always understanding and empathic on a human level to handle issues like this with grace. SelfDecode is not and it sounds like I’m not alone in the matter.

A great concept, but it was not very useful yet. It should continue to get better. Unfortunately, I tried to cancel my subscription after receiving an email saying it was going to automatically charge my cc for renewal. The card was charged shortly after the renewal notice and company won’t refund. Unethical money grab for $100. Can’t trust them to do business ethically, so definitely would not recommend.

Self Decode did absolutely nothing for me. Some of the suggestions are so general as to be laughable. Others certainly do not apply to my health in the past and are not applicable now either. I am in my 70’s so have a lifetime to look back on to determine Self Decode’s validity. I think about the information given and know my DNA is being interpreted incorrectly. Should you spend the money and get nothing really useful? If you enjoy it as an amusement and don’t regard any of the information as gospel truth, maybe. But I wouldn’t be taken in again.

I signed up for the DNA coaching program back in January 2021. The 4 sessions that I had with Dr. Greg Nacarelli were filled with actionable steps to improve my health based on my own personal genetics. The steps include but are not limited to changes in diet, adding exercise, sauna, and a variety of supplements / herbs. Dr. Greg Nacarelli solved most of my issues. Dr. Greg is very personable, knowledgeable, and understanding. Maintaining optimal health is a lifelong process. One must make changes such as diet, exercise, and supplement were necessary. I highly recommend that you see Dr. Greg Nacarelli. I wish I could give you 10 stars instead of 5. Keep up the great work Dr. Greg, Joe Cohen and the rest of the Self Decode team! Improvements in my productivity at work and health could not been achieved without you guys. I look forward to working with Dr. Greg Nacarelli in the future.

Self Decode Reports Legacy Review.

The legacy version has a lot of good reports such as Anxiety, Cognition, COMT , PEMT and MTHFR. The reports are easy to understand with scientific references to articles at the end. Most importantly the reports show actionable steps such as lifestyle changes and supplements to utilize to improve on these genes.

Selfdecode’s gut and longevity report were great. I have Crohn’s and it listed a prioritized list of recommendations to try based on my DNA.

My gut inflammation went down after a week and I started feeling better.

Also was spot on with some very accurate assessments of traits that I want to know more about. It said I had above average likelihood of crohn’s and that was true in my case!

As someone looking to make the most informed choices with my lifestyle and diet choices I LOVE having access to my genome and the growing body of knowledge available for better understanding the implications of or individual genome and epigenomes on our potential health and life spans. Self Decode has the most thorough and user-friendly SNP data base I have found. And I have actually l payed for a few. You can choose ingest the data in a more complex or more simplified format. You have access to compiled studies on SNPS when available and the site seems to be constantly updated and maintained. I highly recommend Self Decode to anyone in the bio-hacking self optimize space!

The platform has many bugs and after giving up on the second day, I requested refund. They responded once. After that, they decided not to even respond to my email. Information is badly organized

When I realized I could use my raw DNA for more detailed information about my genes, I was interested. I tried the free sites and cheaper companies, but then I used SelfDecode. The reports were detailed and easy to understand and offered for a reasonable cost. I love the format of the data.

Self decode has so much information available; backed up by a team of top scientists, and yet written for a lay person or professional to understand.

I’ve been using the Self Hacked website for information on supplements, etc for a few years now and was thrilled when I found out about Self Decode. I use it on a regular basis. The reports give suggestions for supplements and I’ve followed these suggestions with great results.

It’s great to have something like this available. I feel like I’m out here in the wild, wild west trying to figure this out on my own but Self Hacked and Self Decode have helped so, so much!!!

I live in Europe, where genetic testing is not very developed, primarily not in the normal public. The first one I did 5 years ago, the results were a bit superficial. After that I used 23and me and the latest SelfDecoded. With some of the results and their interpretations I relly found out some remarkable reasons for various difficulties that accompanied throughout my life. I am sixty-nine years of age and never knew what to do about my mood swings and motivation gaps. After understanding results of MTHFR testing and using the recommendations life has somehow changed, it’s still a bit unbelievable but I have the feeling to live on a more stable and happier level.To get it right, not all the recommendations are easily applicable, but once you start it might work wonders. It certainly did for me ion some important areas of my health.

I have been following the recommendations give to me by SelfDecode for about 5 weeks now. I made some dietary changes and I take various recommended supplements. I am 58 years old and one of the metrics that I use for anything new I try is my 5k time. I have been running just under 30 minutes for a long time now. I haven’t been able to lower the time on a consistent basis. The other day I ran 27:55. I was feeling young legs again.

I received my DNA file from 23andMe and was interested in learning more about my genes. I love SelfDecode’s easily digestible reports on specific topics. Their symptoms analyzer helps me focus on what I can do to optimize my health with information based on my own genetics.

I signed up for the Individual plan, which came with 3 wellness reports and unlimited access to everything on the site for a year. I don’t know much about genetics, so at first, I had a bit of trouble understanding the information that was available. Fortunately, all the information I needed to understand the data was there, and I was soon spending a couple of hours every day digging into my genetics. I learned about diseases I was predisposed to because of my genes and what I could do to help, and I even learned about a negative substance interaction that had been harming me. The reports are written in plain English so even non-science types like myself could understand. I ordered the mood, sleep, and intro reports. Overall, great research tool and excellent customer service.
