Hi everyone
I’m almost 54, work FT , married and have 3 grown sons. My mom just died of ALZ at 80 so I decided to do 23 and me. Just found out I have 1 apo4 and am kinda terrified. I’ve done a lot of reading and research. Everything seems so overwhelming at this point. I have no other family members with dementia so I’m hoping that helps. My dad is 85 and still fairly sharp. I am looking at making the dietary changes but it will be a huge change for me and I’m worried I won’t stick to it… I will find a practitioner that can support me but I think I’d also like to be part of studies out there. Very grateful to have found the group!!
