Thinking about doing 23andMe — worth it?

Question / Help

Been considering getting one of the DNA tests done for a while, mainly curious about the health side rather than ancestry. Wondering if anyone here has actually found it useful beyond the novelty factor?

Specifically interested in whether the health reports give you anything actionable or whether it's mostly just interesting trivia. Also heard you can download your raw data and run it through other tools — has anyone done that and found anything worthwhile?

Any regrets about doing it or things you wish you'd known before?
