What is SelfDecode Labs?
SelfDecode Labs (formerly known as Lab Test Analyzer) is a feature that allows you to upload lab test results you’ve received from your healthcare provider and gain deeper insight into what those results may mean for your health.
Once uploaded, SelfDecode Labs helps you understand whether your markers fall within optimal ranges—not just standard reference ranges—and provides research-based insights to help you interpret your results.

Normal vs. Optimal Ranges
Many lab results are labeled “normal,” but that doesn’t always mean they’re ideal. Research shows that certain marker levels are associated with better long-term health outcomes when they fall within more specific, optimal ranges.
SelfDecode Labs focuses on these evidence-backed optimal ranges, which are based on correlations with lower risk of illness and mortality—not just population averages.
Clear explanations & research-based insights
SelfDecode Labs brings together findings from medical literature to help you:
- Understand what each lab marker measures
- Learn why a test is commonly ordered
- See how your results may relate to your health
You’ll also find natural and medical options that are commonly discussed in research for supporting or improving specific markers. These insights are meant to help you have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider.
Why this can be helpful
Many people experience symptoms or health concerns even when their lab results appear “normal.” In some cases, results may be suboptimal rather than abnormal.
By identifying these patterns, SelfDecode Labs can help highlight potential areas of imbalance and give you clues about what may be happening in your body—sometimes before a clear diagnosis is made.
For many members, this added clarity has helped them become more informed, proactive participants in their own healthcare.
