Following glucose alone will not be enough to determine insulin sensitivity or resistance. There's a chapter in the Primer that talks about IR and testing for IR. Thanks, I think that part of the primer is what originally got me thinking about this whole thing. My HA1C is decent (5.3) and has been ...

After reading through the primer and tons of posts I realize how important insulin sensitivity probably is in trying to avoid future problems that apoe4 disposes us to. My lipid are not good (TC 248, LDL 163, LDL-P 1763, LDL SMALL 253, HDL 70, TRIG 55). But my HS-CRP is good (.3) and glucose appears...

Hi sandyt. The short answer to your question is- NO. From what I can glean, Rhonda hasn’t studied this directly. Her theory is based on mouse and human observational study correlations and by the fact that low levels of phosphatidylcholine DHA, the precursor to DHA-lysoPC, appear to predict the occ...

That made me wonder if a blood test for omega 3 index would be representative of what is actually present in the brain and not just the cells of the rest of the body. Any ideas would be appreciated. Hi sandyt, and welcome. Great question, and I don't know the answer. You could try contacting Rhonda...

This is one place I saw it. Also, heard her talk on a couple of podcasts.

Hey Everyone, (edited to omega 3 index instead of ratio) This is my first post since finding out that my LDLP is 1761. (I am apoe3/4). I have been voraciously reading everything I can get my hands on including the excellent primer on this site. I saw the paper by Rhonda Patrick showing the difficult...
