Quick Start Step 3: View Your Results

Once your DNA file has been uploaded to your account, it's time to get to the good stuff: your results! 

Your results come in the form of DNA Health, Trait, and Biohacker Reports. These reports are based on the advanced interpretation of your raw DNA file.

Health Reports

Health Reports are health-related reports. These reports provide a risk score for different health conditions, and when applicable, offer diet, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations for improving your health.

Biohacker Reports

Biohacker Reports are similar to Health Reports, but tend to cover less conventional health topics, such as single-gene reports, unique lab markers, and sensitivities.

Trait Reports

Trait Reports look at how your DNA influences your traits. 

Accessing your Health Reports:

1. Log in to your SelfDecode account. 

2. Select DNA > Health Reports from the navigation panel:

3. On this page, you'll see all of your Summary DNA Health Reports! We created Summary Reports because there is a ton of information on SelfDecode, which can feel a bit overwhelming if you're not sure where to start.

a. If you know what you'd like to focus on, you can select the category you're most interested from the Report Categories section.

b. If you're not really sure where to begin, we recommend starting with your Introductory Report.

Move on to the Summary Report that most interests you. For example, if you're interested in focusing on cognitive health, the Brain Summary Report is a great place to learn more about this topic!

4. Within your summary reports, you can select individual DNA reports too! Head to the Details tab to learn more about the topic:

5. Here you can see which health conditions you have a greater genetic risk for, then you can learn more about them. We've summarized the key takeaways for you, but you can also view the individual DNA Report too. Just select View Health Topic Report to open it up:

Accessing your Biohacker Reports:

  1. Log in to your SelfDecode account. 
  2. Select DNA > Biohacker Reports from the navigation panel:


3. On this page, you can scroll down through your Biohacker Reports or you can use one of the search/filter options provided:

4. Once you find a Biohacker Report you want to view, click anywhere on the card to open the report.

Accessing your Trait Reports:

1. Log in to your SelfDecode account. 

2. Select DNA > Traits from the navigation panel. 

  1. Check out your Genetic Avatar — a unique, one-of-a-kind avatar built completely based on your DNA results!

Your avatar highlights the "big 5" personality traits (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) plus your stress response and whether you're an early bird or a night owl.

You can also share your avatar on Facebook by clicking the "Share" button. Tag @selfdecode when sharing and we'll pick a lucky user to win a $100 Amazon gift card every month!

4. Scroll through all of your Trait Report topics, or use one of the report category icons to filter your results:


5. Once you find the Trait Report you want to view, click anywhere on the card to open the report.

Your reports should already be generated, but if we've recently added a new report or updated one with new information, you will need to click Generate Report. Keep in mind, it's normal for a report to take a few hours to generate, since we are parsing through a massive amount of data to generate these reports for you.

The good news is that you only need to generate each report one time! We recommend selecting the Generate All option at the top of the report overview page, whenever you see it. That way all of your reports begin to generate in the background.

Our comprehensive reports will probably keep you busy for a while, but when you're ready for more personalized results, move on to Quick Start Step 4 & Quick Start Step 5!
