Am I about to be relieved I never tried one of these?

I unfortunately did. However, I at least requested my data destroyed. Whether that means fuck all is to be seen.

my doctor told me to get it done for genetic disease testing -_-

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

That's why I did it. I was looking into health tendencies since I don't know any health history from my mom's side.

Were there no other provided? Like a lab?

Tbh I was trusting my doctor. I had never really heard of 23andme except from his reccomendation. I thought it was a reliable source. Egg on my face. You live and you learn.

How do I do that?

It's been a while, but I believe it's buried in the account settings on the website. I don't think the app had the option.

Probably not, this is a dispute about profitability.
