Just post your results with the ranges and members when they read your question will respond.
it's not thyroid results hon, it's raw data that I need translating. I believe several different companies do it but I have no idea which one to approach
Not following what you need. What do you mean by raw data? My husband interprets my results for me but not sure if we are on the same page. Would like yo help.
The genetic data is just codes and there are companies that interpret the results
My impression is that you choose one of those companies and present it to them. Is there one in particular recommended by 23&Me or do you just google it and find one?
I assume you've already got some results like this and are looking for recommendations: quora.com/Which-tools-can-b...
Hi hun, i actually found that page and was looking at livewello. Posted here first cus i only follow recommendations. Am assuming they all work the same?
Well having read that I wonder if they all do work the same way - ? It seems like it depends on how you want to 'get' the info. I think some are more visual, some are more text-based, some are more in-depth and some are more user-friendly. I imagine the info you come away with is the same though.
Are they comparable in cost? I know some are free. If you find more than one free/cheap service I'd try them all. See what the outcome is, you might prefer the format of one over the other.
Havent read up too much on it yet. I doubt u get everything with the free one. Case of you get what you pay for usually
my doctor is doing it for me. They sure were correct about a lot of things but I was surprised by a few things. Did you answer the questions? I think there were 395 of them but they were fun. I just didn't want all my info on another site as I felt it could be released to anyone.

You need to visit promethease online and there you can upload your results from 23andMe for a £5 fee (or it might have been $5), that will give you an html file you can open on your computer and view your results. They are still dense and not that easy to decipher but you can at least check out various genes of interest or medical conditions. 
There's a video on the site to explain exactly how to upload your raw data and then get your results. Good luck!

My Functional Medicine Dr has asked me to use Nutrahacker and asked me to request two particular reports
These are the two reports you need to send me:
"Personalized Supplement Report" also called Complete Gene Mutation Report
"Personalized Carrier Status & Drug Response Report"
in reply to Jefner
Hmm I've not used Nutrahacker, just had a peek now - might run my 23andMe results through them just to see how they pan out. I can see straight away a button there to upload one's raw data. There is also, lower down, a Report Centre link where I presume you will find the reports you need.
in reply to Jefner
OK so you upload your raw data on Nutrahacker (free) and do a 33 questionnaire. Then you're taken to the Store page where you can buy various reports. The prices are there so you can see what it'll add up to before deciding whether to proceed. You get the Detox and Methylation report free. I'm not sure I'm going to do any of them other than the Celiac report ($20).

I didn't know you could get different types of reports from them. I was wondering whether the depression one would tell me anything ie. which AD would work better for me because the Seroxat is no longer working. Just have no idea how these things work, am on new territory
in reply to Jefner
Seems an expensive way to (possibly) find out. Since I've had my raw data what I realise is that this is a VERY new field and there are not many certainties, only probabilities, and almost too much information. The only things that are really helpful re medications working or not are if there are genes associated with one or a family of similar drugs. If you google seroxat and SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) you'll find the following:
That gives you the number of the relevant genes that might indicate the efficacy of that drug. In your own report, if you use promethease, you can search for that gene and see whether you've got a reduced ability to utilise it. But it's still only a 'maybe', not definite.

What do i do, go into 23andme results and search for that code?
in reply to Jefner
No you'd need to get your raw data converted into a report, as I described doing earlier in this thread, via Promethease. Then you can use their search in the report on your computer and there will be links to the online SNPedia.
Jefner - are you a Kelly Brogan fan ? Maybe she could answer your question re the depression genes ....
Marz
I don't even know which ones they are
I thought she may be able to advise. Have you looked at her website ?

Phone/Skype Appointments
Dr. Brogan is not able to schedule long distance virtual consultations at this time; however, exceptions can be made for those who are able to travel to the office for the consultation and frequent follow-ups in between phone sessions. Dr. Brogan is not able to work with long distance patients looking to taper medication due to the complicated nature of treatment. Unfortunately Dr. Brogan is not able to offer clinical advice over email.
- sorry not to be of help ....
'm on a few at the moment. I'm using:-
LiveWello.com
geneticgenie.org
nutrahacker.com
mthfrsupport.net
geneticlifehacks.com
Have found LiveWello the best for me but you have to pay for the upgraded report.
You might want to read this as well from Suzy Cohen who made me understand gene testing a little better. suzycohen.com/articles/snps...
You must remember that just because you have the gene/snp does not mean you have or will have the disease, it simply means you have inherited either one or two of the genes from your parents.
Shambles
Can you help. My FMD gave me instructions on how to download but I don't know what the hell I am doing. I am supposed to unzip the file into a txt format. When I click download it comes up in a WinRar window. Now I am stuck I don't know what to do?
A functional nutritionalist will analyze them
Juliecmuphy
Yes, as I said earlier in the thread my nutritionalist has asked me to obtained two reports but I am wondering whether to pursue the depression one as it runs in my family and it might be helpful in telling me what different med I can try because Seroxat is no longer working for me
I did the 23&me as well and tried various websites that offer analyses. The best one I found is LiveWello, it does cost $30, but you get a ton of information, with access to unlimited "templates" that have been generated for people with specific SNPS or questions. It lets you search all the major databases for health conditions, genetic defects, diseases, etc. that you are interested in. It is so comprehensive it will take some time just to try out all the various resources, but the help videos are good. It initially gives you a basic general analysis of your data, identifying the defects and lots of specific information about them. I use it all the time for ongoing questions.
well I managed to download my personalised report from Nutracracker and when I emailed my FMD he has just said "To be technically correct, the SNPS don't determine your ABSORPTION, but your ability to MAKE certain things, or RESPOND to certain items.
But PLEASE do NOT think that what you read on that report is infallible....many of the things they list to avoid or encourage are just wrong. But their report is the best one going in my opinion"
So have ordered the two indepth reports that he wants and just have to wait now
Anyone tried strategene yet?
