Re: Re:

Hi Anna, My doctor did not mention anything about urine pH to me pre-test. Also, though I might have overlooked it, I don’t recall any mention of pH in the Doctor’s Data info that accompanies the test, so this is a new twist. If you can find out the rationale behind your doctor’s requirement of hig...

Re: APOE4 friendly version of Bulletproof coffee?

FTO downregulates the IRX3 thermogenesis process—which essentially means it turns off the fat burning process. Interesting. I never took the time to research FTO because I have so many other genetic surprises that seemed more important, and, being thin, the FTO gene actually has helped me believe t...

Naturally if bloods change then perhaps it's time to re evaluate.
That's my working theory. So maybe what is an Apoe4 friendly version of Bulletproof coffee depends on the individual.

Re: APOE4 friendly version of Bulletproof coffee?

This is something I have been wondering too. I'm also 4/4 with two copies of the FTO snp that has received the most attention in terms of increased appetite... I know many ApoE4 carriers avoid saturated animal fats, but I think the jury is still out on this one. I personally do not avoid them and u...

Re: APOE4 friendly version of Bulletproof coffee?

This is something I have been wondering too. I'm also 4/4 with two copies of the FTO snp that has received the most attention in terms of increased appetite. I drink a modified version of a bulletproof coffee for breakfast most mornings, usually with a mix of MCT, coconut oil, and cream with stevia ...

Re: Duty to inform family?

The topic of disclosure has been discussed, but you're right, not much seems to come up during a search, including a thread I started awhile back: Thoughts on Disclosure (Who have you told?). https://www.apoe4.info/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4562 Most of the discussion pertains more to the moral duty to...

Re: An informal survey on Fasting

I also can taste ketones occasionally. I keep waiting for my dog to react....they're supposed to detect things like this right? Well, my mutant labradoodle either has a poor nose or figures that if I die he'll finally get to sleep on the bed. :) My labradoodle doesn't seem to notice the ketones eit...

Re: New 4/4 Introduction

I, like everyone else receiving bad news had an initial period of being very overwhelmed with this information, and that lasted for several weeks. However, with several months to reflect on it I have started looking at the positives. I am in my early 50's, and have had several co-workers that have ...

Re: An informal survey on Fasting

Anna, not sure why you are pushing out your "breakfast" when you are really breaking your fast with your coffee loaded with fat...? If you had black coffee early, and wait to add the fats until your breakfast, then you would be extending your fast. At least that is my understanding - anyo...
