DNA with Dr. Jay
How does it work?
Simply click "Get the DNA Consult" with Dr. Jay or your preferred DNA Coach and complete the payment process.
Next, Dr. Jay or your DNA Coach will email you and schedule the DNA Consult with you using a simple calendar link.
If needed, be sure to complete your DNA sequencing via 23andme.com or Ancestry.com before your scheduled slot with AJ Consulting Company. Those companies generally take less than 6-weeks. If you have not yet completed the DNA sequencing process, buy the cheapest possible DNA kit from these companies. You don't need their overpriced "health reports" since AJ Consulting Company has that covered in far greater depth! Also, the "ancestry-only" kits provide all you need for a DNA Consult with AJ Consulting Company.
To download the necessary "raw data file" from 23andme.com, follow these instructions.
To download the necessary "raw data file" from Ancestry.com, follow these instructions.
Near the time of your scheduled DNA Consult, Dr. Jay or your DNA Coach will email you a DNA Report. Your DNA Report is created by Dr. Jay even if you choose to do your consult with a DNA Coach. The DNA Report will be discussed during the consult and made simple, easy to understand and implement.
DNA Coaches are trained to simplify your DNA information and communicate your most important DNA variants. They will discuss your most important DNA weak spots and optimization strategies during your consult. The DNA Coaches are trained by Dr. Jay and are excellent at discussing your DNA report, although Dr. Jay is the best resource for complex questions.

Do i need 23andme.com or ancestry.com completed firsT?
No. You can set up your consult with AJ Consulting Company and then get your DNA sequenced. However, you must have your DNA sequenced via 23andme.com or Ancestry.com at some point. The 23andme.com and Ancestry.com DNA sequencing companies are separate from AJ Consulting Company and they do an excellent job sequencing your DNA with over 99.99% reproducibility. AJ Consulting Company recommends you use an alias when ordering the DNA kit from them to protect your privacy. When you purchase a DNA kit from them, they mail you a tube to spit into and a box to mail the tube back. The DNA sequencing process usually take about 4-6 weeks to complete.
Again: if you have not completed 23andme.com or Ancestry.com DNA sequencing, you can still sign-up for your DNA Consult today. But be sure to allow 6-weeks for the DNA sequencing to be completed when you schedule your consult with AJ Consulting Company.

Is 23andme.com or Ancestry.com better?
First, both companies are excellent so compare prices. They will each provide more than enough health information for a 90-minute DNA Consult. But 23andme is better regarding Alzheimer's genes, especially if you want to see your ApoE gene status, while Ancestry is better regarding thyroid genes, in case thyroid issues run in your family. Dr. Jay personally used both companies for himself, his wife, and his kids. This is the most complete approach.
Added details: Ancestry.com technically includes more total SNPs than 23andme. However, 23andme generally has more SNPs that are relevant to most people's health. This can vary person-to-person, of course, but it's generally what we see. To illustrate this, please see the actual health reports, below, created by Dr. Jay. They are both from the DNA of the same person whose name has been removed for privacy purposes and this person had done their DNA through both 23andme and Ancestry:

Can i use a different dna sequencing company?
Yes. We can use SelfDecode, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, Genos, DNA.land, Genes for Good, LivingDNA, and other company's DNA files but we will need the raw data file (it's usually .txt or .zip).
Aside from the companies listed above, there are no guarantees that the DNA data from other companies will be compatible with Dr. Jay's software. We are aware that many other companies offer DNA Sequencing. The good news is virtually all of them simply use the same 3rd party [Illumina] chips to sequence your DNA. If you've done your DNA with a company not listed here, simply send us an email (info@ajconsultingcompany.com) and Dr. Jay will test the DNA file, to see if it's compatible with his software for a DNA analysis!

Should I pay extra for 23andme.com or Ancestry.com "health reports" or similar upgrades?
No. The information in those reports is superficial and provides information that most people find useless (for example, they tell you your eye color which you hopefully already know). Your consult with AJ Consulting Company will provide far more meaningful and practical information. The only thing Dr. Jay needs for your DNA consult is the "raw data file" which is provided by these companies even when you utilize their cheapest possible "ancestry-only" kits.
Can I experience a real-life dna consulting session before purchasing one?
Yes.
Check out any of the "DNA with DRJ" Podcast episodes where Dr. Jay has analyzed DNA on-air under the "Podcasts" tab above. It's free on YouTube.

CAN DR. JAY ANALYZE MY DATA FOR 23&ME AND ANCESTRY.COM?
Yes.
If you've had your DNA sequenced by both 23andme as well as Ancestry.com, Dr. Jay will give you 2 reports within a single consult, no extra charge. Simply let Dr. Jay know you have done the DNA kit from both companies after buying the "DNA Consult with Dr. Jay".

CONFIDENTIALITY? Privacy?
First of all, AJ Consulting Company does not save your DNA data. After the consult, all of your DNA information is deleted.
Second, when you purchase a DNA kit, use an alias. You don't need to use your real name! Call yourself "Super Man" or "Super Woman" or something clever. People do this all the time with their DNA kits. Additionally, you can even have a friend buy the kit for you (so it's linked to a different credit card) or you can use a pre-paid card with no name associated with the credit card.
