Re: Where do I go to get the blood tests I need to see where I am and what I need in terms of supplements, etc?

I have read a ton about blood sugar, cholesterol, B vitamins, etc. What I don’t know is where to get my blood testing done to see what I need to do in terms of meds, supplements, etc. and who is supposed to advise me on this? I need someone that understands APOE4. Also, where do I go to get my cogn...

We happen to have a couple ApoE4.info wikis on that subject. Some will consult over the internet if you can't fine one nearby.

Re: I am scared, confused, overwhelmed with information and motivated all at the same time!

My mom started having problems around that time, but was officially diagnosed 3 years ago. Now they want her to do Lecanemab. I am so excited that there may be a cure in my future, but I am so scared for my mom. I can't show her my fear, I am so optimistic, but am so afraid of side effects. Lecanem...

Re: New here? Some Best Practices

Okay, I have changed my diet, lost about 20 pounds, eat lots of vegetables but my diet is not as strict as shown here. I use duolingo to brush up my second language, French for brain exercise, have given away my TV and read every day. I read Dr. Bredesen several years ago so have tried to follow as...

Re: Overwhelming anxiety

Eat Keto. Eat carnivore. Eat Breseden. Eat anything except carbohydrates (sugar, pasta, flour, bread, ...), and processed food (anything with a label requires checking total carbs). Note a low carb diet requires higher fat consumption. Olive oil and MCT are great. Coconut oil is ok. Do not use &quo...

Re: Join a Lecanamab Webinar

It's hard to find anybody in this field without a bias. That goes for all of these panelists and each of us. I work hard (WIP!) to remain open to all new information in an effort to extend my useful life and that of all E4 carriers. Julie, you embody our community guidelines: Curiosity. Our underst...

I'm curious what krill supplement are you taking and how much? I've been looking into this a minute here and a minute there, and the the ones I've seen seem to have very low doese of DHA. For example NOW Krill 1000 that Rhonda used to take only has 60 mg per 1" soft gel ( probably hard for me ...

Re: What’s your Omega-3 dose?

I’m interested in seeing what everyone’s daily supplemental Omega-3 dose is (EPA and DHA). And if you happen to know your Omega-3 Index? My doctor advised me to take an Omega-3 supplement such that the DHA component adds up to (at least) 1000 mg. I’m not stating how much I take because it seems to ...

What does APOE4/4 mean? Is that what my mom and I have or is the fact we only have one variant detected, better? Having one variant is better than two, but is not a get "out of jail free card". This page ApoE4 introduction as well as our ApoE4.info wiki intro ApoE4.info Wiki Introduction ...
