Hi, I'm not entirely sure how to introduce myself, so I'm trying it here. My name is Elka, I'm 68, turning 69 in March. I chose the 23&me genetic test and I was fully aware that it might be difficult to accept the finality of my APOE 4 (heterogenous) status. I also knew that my diet was wildly ...

Any luck on the blood metal testing? I had a lot of nespresso in the past few years because my office provides free nespresso coffee. I just recently found out that i am E3/E4, and i am now super worried about the alumnium content in nespresso coffee among many other things that could increase my r...

Hi Team APOE4! Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend! Some background on how I found my way here: I took a 23andMe test about a year ago to learn more about my ancestry — wasn't particularly interested in the health aspect of it, but the report came as part of the package. I noticed that I was at...

I was messing with my Prometheus report the other day, loading results into the Google doc that is available in the Wiki, and a field “calculated” indicating I am considered a 3/4 (see image). This was a surprise, because my 23&me testing came back a solid 4/4. Is this a data error, or is there...

I’m sorry that I didn’t know my status when I was your age because I would have “cleaned up my act” earlier. Now I try to follow the Bredesen plan, which is an overall healthy way for anyon...

Hello Everyone, My name is Joanna and I am from Ontario, Canada. I'm hoping to find other Canadians and Ontarians in particular in this group!

Any recommendations on getting more protein? I understand it’s mostly fish. I’m tired of fish. My uric acid levels are high. I’m not sure if this is from eating fish? Apparently protein powder is not recommended? I’m feeling a bit frustrated. Life is fish, shellfish, eggs? Open to suggestions. Than...
