Hello everyone! I'm a newbie to this forum and I have to admit I've put off anything about AD as when I received my 23 & Me results, I'm homozygous 4/4, I went into denial. But with time, I have come around and have just finished Dr. Bredeson's book and he mentioned your forum. I'm so glad I have found out early, as I'm in my early 50's and want to do everything I can to prevent any development as well as perhaps help others. For the last 8 years I have had a particular interest in improving my general health, hence the genetic testing, but I also have a health science background and have been perhaps intuitively putting myself through various diets such as a ketogenic, paleo, low lectin, moving away from a vegetarian diet. My thing now is trying to transition to the ketoflex 12/3 and I've a particular interest in food for health and developing recipes for this transition. I'm almost certain most of my post will be food related, but I can't wait to wade through all the past posts and dig around for info. Thankyou!

Hi JML, thanks for such a warm welcome! It means alot to me having support. Where I live in Australia next to no one has a genetic report, so few know their APOE status, so having a group of like minded individuals in the same boat is really great.
