Re: AFIb

. Hi Computer15, Have you considered a PreCODE subscription on Apollo Health? Having your lab work entered there would provide a report that shows you which subtype you are. It would also help you to prioritize where to focus your attention, give you supplement recommendations, and also give you ac...

Re: 54 year old APOE 4/4. What can I do to delay dementia at my age?

FloraMaria, Yes, exactly Raw Farms brand! I can get it at Sprouts in Florida! If you can't get in NM, then look for "low temperature pasteurized", NON-homogenized milk. There are a couple brands (MilkKing, etc.) that sell it at Whole Foods I have found online. I still haven't seen such mi...

Re: 54 year old APOE 4/4. What can I do to delay dementia at my age?

You can find cultures online to buy. I make both kefir and Caspian Sea yogurt but recently have found a top quality real/raw kefir at Sprouts that comes from California. It's fantastic and highly recommended. Thanks for the great information, AnnieV. Every time I am in California I purchasethat Raw...

Re: 54 year old APOE 4/4. What can I do to delay dementia at my age?

I read your post. I highly recommend you please read Dr. Bredesen's book, ESPECIALLY for you, specifically pages 119-121. Your concern for breakdown of the BBB is merited. To that specific end test for your homocysteine. Dr. Bredesen shows how that can be lowered if it is high (which I will only pr...

Re: 54 year old APOE 4/4. What can I do to delay dementia at my age?

I've never been in bad shape I think but I started really taking care of myself when I was in my late 40s. I changed to a mediterranean diet, started working out like an animal and lost about 50 lbs. I feel great and at my age I'm dumbfounded at the muscle I've put on. My lipids, BP, A1C, etc are a...

Re: Neurodegeneration—It’s Not the Tangles, It’s the T Cells

That's a Million Dollar Question, I don't know exactly, but I believe APOE4 has the strongest innate immune reaction and I suspect it is fueled by LDL. So I think managing LDL levels is crucial. I would avoid: - foods high on saturated fat - all processed vegetable oils and fats (except cold press ...

For those who don't tolerate statins, in this interview Peter Attia recommends alternatives to statins (no side effects): Pcsk9 inhibitors - very safe but expensive Ezetimibe - cheaper but less potent Bempedoic acid - very safe and expensive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyid7vWO0zI Maria 4/4 Hi ...

Re: Philadelphia area

Yes, I'm an ApoE4 in the East Falls section of Philadelphia, near Thomas Jefferson University. I'd love to meet up! I've written for The Penn Memory Center and Being Patient (https://www.beingpatient.com/voice/apoe4-deborah-fries/) and a column in Terrain.org, not long after learning my status in 2...
