This is for you if...
You'll find Ask My DNA helpful if any of these situations feels familiar:
- You have a 23andMe or Ancestry file sitting on your computer gathering dust, and you know there's valuable information in there but have no idea how to use it
- You've noticed you react differently to coffee, dairy, or medications than your friends do, and you're curious if your genes explain why
- Cancer or heart disease runs in your family, and you want to know YOUR actual risk and what specific steps YOU can take (not generic advice)
- You're thinking about having kids and wondering about hereditary conditions — you want real answers, not just worries
- You're tired of Googling health symptoms and finding confusing scientific papers with contradictory advice — you just want someone to explain YOUR genes in plain English
How it works (3 simple steps)
Getting answers about your genes is simpler than ordering food online:
- 1. Upload your file → Takes 2 minutes. We work with files from 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or any genetic test. Just drag and drop.
- 2. Ask your question → Type it like you're texting a friend: 'Why do I react badly to coffee?' or 'Do I need special vitamins?' No medical terms required.
- 3. Get your answer → Within seconds, you'll see an explanation based on YOUR genes (not statistics), in plain English, with links to the research if you want to dig deeper.
- 4. Take action → Use what you learned: adjust your diet, choose better supplements, or prepare smart questions for your next doctor visit.
See what you'll actually get
Real questions from people like you, and the kind of personalized answers you'll receive. No medical jargon, just clear explanations:
- Q: 'Why can't I tolerate lactose?' | A: Based on YOUR genes, you produce less of the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar. That's why dairy causes discomfort. What to do: Try lactose-free milk or take enzyme pills before eating dairy. Simple fix!
- Q: 'Which vitamins should I take?' | A: YOUR version of the MTHFR gene means regular folic acid doesn't work well for you — you need the active form called methylfolate. Also, you process vitamin D slowly, so higher doses help. Here are specific brands that work for your genes.
- Q: 'Why does coffee make me anxious?' | A: YOUR CYP1A2 gene makes you break down caffeine slowly — it stays in your body 4-6 hours longer than average. That's why one coffee feels like three. What to do: Cut your usual amount in half, or switch to decaf after noon.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't have genetic test results yet?
No problem! We'll help you choose the right DNA test for your goals (23andMe, Ancestry, or others). You can join the early access list now and order a test while you wait. or start with our questionnaire about symptoms and family history to identify which genes matter most for you.
I'm afraid I'll learn something scary about my genes
This is a common concern. Ask My DNA explains everything in context: having a gene variant doesn't mean you'll definitely get sick — it's about probabilities and what you can DO about it. We focus on actionable steps, not fear. You'll understand the difference between 'having a risk factor' and 'having a disease.'
Will this be too scientific and complicated for me?
Not at all! That's the whole point. We translate complex genetics into everyday language. Instead of 'heterozygous C677T polymorphism' you'll see 'You have one copy of a gene variant that affects how you process folate.' Everything includes simple analogies and practical examples.
