GENOMIC PERSONALIZED WELLNESS<br />

from DNA to daily habits<br />

SelfDecode, an innovative DNA analysis service, promises to unlock<br />

the secrets of your genetics, providing insights into personal health<br />

and well-being, and offering personalized health recommendations.<br />

The test involves two cheek swabs, returned by mail to SelfDecode,<br />

who will analyze the DNA. The sheer volume of data can be quite<br />

daunting; however, the depth of information is impressive as<br />

comprehensive reports cover a wide range of health topics, from<br />

nutrition and fitness to mental health and disease risks.<br />

Users may want to adjust their diet based on personalized nutrition<br />

advice, focusing on foods that align with their genetic makeup. They<br />

may also need to modify their fitness routine to better suit their<br />

body’s specific needs, for example, incorporating more flexibility<br />

exercises to counteract a genetic predisposition to joint issues. The<br />

platform also allows users to upload their lab results to assess a<br />

variety of blood markers, providing alerts for any results out of the<br />

optimum range and linking once again to the lifestyle advice.<br />

The user-friendly interface and step-by-step guidance help with<br />

navigation of the complex genetic information, which is well<br />

organized and actionable, allowing users to focus on specific<br />

goals without feeling overwhelmed. The platform provides clear<br />

explanations of genetic markers and their potential impact on<br />

health, demystifying the science behind the results while also<br />

providing links to the scientific studies that support the results and<br />

the lifestyle advice offered. Users can complete a variety of lifestyle<br />

questionnaires, giving the platform the ability to identify lifestyle<br />

risks in addition to genetic predispositions. Tangible lifestyle<br />

recommendations are tailored to the genetic profile of the user. For<br />

instance, if you discover a predisposition to higher inflammation<br />

levels, the report will suggest incorporating anti-inflammatory foods<br />

and supplements, advise on types of exercise that are beneficial,<br />

and stress management techniques.<br />

Unlock the ‘global ancestry’ for a detailed breakdown of your<br />

genetic heritage and even take a journey through your mitochondrial<br />

lineage, identifying where your ancestors originated over thousands<br />

of years.<br />

For both wellness consumers and professionals, SelfDecode offers<br />

a valuable tool for personalized health optimization, bridging the<br />

gap between genetic data and its application in day-to-day life.<br />
