Using Health Scores to reach your goals

Written by Joe Cohen, BS | Last updated:

The science and development teams at SelfDecode have been working on Health Scores for several months now – looking to perfect the software that combines your DNA, labs, and lifestyle into one score to give you the best tool for optimizing your health.

So, when they sent me a message telling me that it was done and ready for testing, I had to hop on my SelfDecode account right away.

I wanted to see how well I was counteracting my genetic risks with the current lifestyle, diet, and supplement I had built for myself using SelfDecode.

The first topic that I checked was brain health. My health journey started because I wanted to improve my mood, get rid of brain fog, and increase mental clarity and cognitive function.

15+ years later, and it’s still my number one priority, so I wanted to make sure that I was optimizing my lifestyle and diet for it.

My “DNA Score” of 44 – one of my lowest when looking at all other health categories – is calculated by our AI-powered software, and this score means that I carry a lot of genes that predispose me to potential brain issues like low mood, anxiety, and the ability to deal with stress.

But based on my Health Score for lifestyle and labs, I’m doing exactly what I need to do to counteract these negative genetic variants.

There still can be some minor improvements to increase my lab score of 85 (I’m striving for 💯!), but overall I’m on the right path to optimizing my brain health.

I’ve started taking Tryptophan recently and I’ve felt massive improvements, so I’m excited to see the changes when I get my labs done again.

With my recent focus on getting rid of food sensitivities, I wanted to see whether my immune function and inflammation score reflected all the work I had done in the past few months and… well, the results speak for themselves. 😅
