Sandraz, Do you feel like you had a good restful sleep despite the technical interruptions? I would still recommend wearing this a few more nights before your med apt, since my experience is that I only seem to have the severe desats intermittently with the deeper sleep nights. However, this is grea...

Mom always would "eat like a camel" with periodic fasts which I persuaded her to cease in the last few years. This pattern coupled with the high olive oil and butter diet reminds me of Julie's diet! As to chemical exposure, she has a horrendous history: hair dyes continue after 60 years, h...

On all our recently posted protective SNPs, mom stuck out too! However, there is one exception, her response to HRT, she carries the C allele, having a decreased risk of all-cause mortality (0.42), whereas I have a 3X increase of cancer-related mortality with HRT.

Since I've mentioned my 96 y/o mom a few times, I thought I would report her just in results: E3/4. I told her upon testing, that should she carried the same gene, this would be reassuring, since she does not have AD. She replied "well, how do YOU know? Maybe I'm like one of the nuns, who upon ...

This Penn study used Celexa on mice and 13 humans, age 18- 50 (genetically at risk for early AD?) At this point, I would only use Celexa is I had other reasons to justify. But as AD prevention drugs, it is very interesting, underscoring that dopamine/seratonin connection that we have been discussing.

Looks like a good recording oximeter, if the cord is long enough and you have the app compatible with your phone. If your doctor suspects sleep apnea, I would just go forward with the full lab testing, should these results be equivocal. However, if this does show a chart of nocturnal desats, then yo...

This is the first time I hit the jackpot with GG! Yes, my HDL has been climbing up from the 60s to 93 now. Julie, do you recommend taking SAMe and/or choline? Although I am trying to increase my dietary sources of choline (eggs, scallops, shrimp), it is difficult to get the 500mg/day on diet sans re...

Another wild speculation would be SAMe, which I took for years, but dropped due to the homocystene concern. My MTRRs are all heterozygous, but have a combo predictive of a wide range of dopamine, I think I have the high end naturally.
Another CT result.

Gina, If you're curious, I would compare both sleep studies. My first sleep study (home) was "normal", but my oxygen nadir was 82! The second study (sleep lab), I had a deeper sleep and the oxygen nadir was 65 in less than two hours. That's why my recommendation is to monitor with an oxime...
