Just found an article that tells you how to get genetic health
reports, bypassing the 23andMe restriction.

You can upload your DNA report to many small companies and get a
health report back. Though the quality varies and some seem to be
recommending alternative medicine practitioners.

It could be interesting for those who already have the 23andMe health
report to get an alternative from some of these websites and see how
they compare. There is still a lot of guesswork attached to estimating
health risks from DNA.
