"When Dr. Jay analyzed my DNA code from 23andme, I saw first-hand his ability to upgrade athletic performance. Like he says, knowledge is power. His consulting session was an invaluable performance-enhancing edge focusing on personalizing diet, sleep, and training. Dr. Jay confirmed various strengths and weaknesses I knew I had based on my years of training. But Dr. Jay also went way beyond things I know. From my DNA code, he told me about chemicals that linger in my body longer than normal, my bone strength, my joints and back discs, my muscle fiber types, and something called "nitric oxide synthase". He also made everything simple and actionable. I highly, highly recommend him."

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 (we also support SelfDecode if you are able to download your "raw data file") 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 won't need the "health reports" since we've got that covered in 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.
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 1-hour DNA Consult.
Here is a company comparison:
In 2010, 23andme.com provided ~900,000 snps. They were using a 3rd party company (Illumina) to actually sequence the DNA. In 2013, 23andme.com created their own DNA sequencing platform but downgraded substantially to ~550,000 snps. In 2017, 23andme.com increased their service to provide ~650,000 snps, which is what they currently offer (ref) and about 25,000 are relevant to your health (ref).
Ancestry.com currently offers ~700,000 snps (ref) and about 50,000 are relevant to your health (ref).
Update: we now also support SelfDecode, since they provide the full ~900,000 snps.

Can i use a different dna sequencing company?
Maybe but there are no guarantees that the DNA data from other companies will be compatible with Dr. Jay's software.
Besides 23andme.com and Ancestry.com, many other companies offer DNA Sequencing. Virtually all of them simply use the same Illumina chips to sequence your DNA (23andme.com being the major exception). The difficulty is the DNA code from companies other than 23andme.com or Ancestry.com often have incompatible code read-outs.
Update: we have tested SelfDecode and now accept DNA files from them with confidence.

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 often 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.
