Re: Modifiable risks and APOE 4/4

Does following the practices Dr. Attia promotes decrease the risk to normal level? Assuming the majority of those with the 3/4 and 4/4 that get AD did not take any preventable measures such as exercise or proper diet. I'm not familiar with Dr Attia's ApoE4 protocol, I do know I appreciate most of w...

Re: KetoFlex question

I apologize if this is a very basic question. I'm trying to learn more about the KetoFlex 12/3 diet and I found a book on Amazon titled "Keto Flex" by Ben Azadi. My question is, is this the same diet at the Bredesen KetoFlex 12/3? I was hoping to learn more about how to implement the diet...

Last month CBS's 60 minutes broadcast an episode on “celebratory” news of a neurosurgeon addressing Alzheimer’s through focused ultrasound to open the blood-brain barrier in order to apply the anti-amyloid antibody aducanumab.

Re: APOE 4/4 - Wisdom on telling siblings/children

I'm in an APOE 4/4 in a large family with no family history of dementia*. I have five siblings in their 50s/60s and 2 kids in their 20's. None of them have had DNA tests as far as I can tell, but my kids must have at least one E4 and odds are most of my siblings are one E4 or worse. Here's my story...
