Re: CTAD 2022 -- Endgame for AD
CTAD looks like its an especially good scientific meeting as they provide a pdf for all of their abstracts. We will have a very good insight into the deep bench of AD research. The speaker lineup also suggests that there will be a focus on AD clinical trials especially those related to mabs. Enormo...

Re: Endurance athlete... how do I fuel?
Hi there, I am also APOE34 and new to this. I am 35 years old F runner and marathons are my favourite-- I don't want to give up running, although I would consider racing less frequently. I have run 5 marathons now, with 2:56 being my personal best but that was 4 years ago now. I am noticing cogniti...

I registered for the Reverse Alzheimers summit late and listened to Day 1 during the replay. One of the female Day 1 speakers talked about the APOE r...

Re: Intro - 53 yo mom with dual APOE-4 and CIRS wanting to do all I can to prevent AD
Hi I heard one of the talks - Julie Gregory's - in the recent Alzheimer's talks and was so glad this site is available! I'm in CO (former east coaster) and I've been dealing with CIRS and dual C677t gene issues after mold poisoning (and all the other dominoes) for decades. I recently lost my mom to...
