I’m 63 and have one APoE4 allele. Have been on Bredesen protocol for 3 years now as prevention. My mother and grandmother had Alzheimer’s so my risk is high. Whatever memory issues I felt I had post menopause are gone now.
@@tgreen8946 You have to go to the Apollo Health website and get in contact with them. Their client support can tell you how to search for a doctor in your Mom’s area who is trained in the protocol. The unfortunate thing is that they will tell you that you have to join the program ($75 a month) in order to begin your search for doctors who are treating patients with this protocol. (You do the search on their platform where you can see all practitioners in your area and be in contact with them. But you can quit it at any time also.
My husband just found out he has the apoe4 also, I found a dr in our area that is certified to use the redes en protocol, on his website it says that you have to belong to the Apollo health. Is that so?
@@sandrabargerhuff6421 Yes, that is how it works. At first to belong to the site, it was $75 a month and this means you are in the ReCode protocol. Which is what I did. But they launched PreCode last year for people who are doing the protocol as prevention (not having cognitive issues yet (or ever hopefully). So I switched to that which is $35 a month. But I had to have my Bredesen doctor document that I was appropriate for PreCode. So not sure how it works now - if you have to sign up for the full $75 first, select a doctor, and then they can document that you are prevention only (usually by your cognition test score) and you switch to $35 a month? The reason for having to join Apollo health is that it is the tool where all your health history sits, any and all tests results they do, and it uses its platform’s algorithm to help focus treatment etc. Apollo Health site also has all the resources for you to use such as the Keto diet guidelines and recipes, etc. If you join to get started and then decide it’s not for you, you can quit at any time. I sound like an advertisement! Don’t mean to . Hope that helps.
Dr. Bredesen’s protocol supports, and is supported by, Dr Terry Wahl’s protocol for autoimmune disorders (esp. MS). I have been following the Wahl’s plan for a few years. I am not exaggerating when I say that the mental fog suddenly lifted one day. I’m 66 and I’m considering returning to the workplace.
This is Great! Sounds like you're promoting the ("mild") Ketogenic Lifestyle with a lot more vegetables 🤔 Very (extremely) similar to Dr. Eric Berg recommendations. NICE!
I've been following Dr. Berg for a few years now and have been watching hundreds of his 'thousands of videos' on RUclips. I've learned a lot about the human body through Dr. Berg. The diet part of this conversation sounds like these people are talking about Dr. Berg's protocol for Healthy Ketosis.
Great video! I just read the Alzheimer's Solution by Ayesha Sherzai and Dean Sherzai, and was super interested to hear another perspective. There were definitely more similarities than differences.

Thank you for posting this. My mom is going through a very tough time with her dementia. I will change her diet. What are your thoughts on diatomaceous earth?

I am so interested in this. Have been reading all I can on Dr. Bredesen's ReCODE protocol and it's so exciting. My mom is 98 and is probably in the final few weeks or months of Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsons. She is totally unable to do anything for herself, and communication is so difficult for her and us. Mom has very little comprehension. Have watched her go from a incredibly independent person to her present state. I will not go down this road for myself if I can prevent it. I had my genetics tested with 23&me and do not have the APOE4 gene from either parent. I know this doesn't make it clear sailing and I will do whatever it takes. Thanks for your excellent video. with
carole chapla similar story here! I've increased fasting times as well and exercise regularly in the gym. Lost 20 pound I didn't even need to but now have the best body shape I've ever had.
Im sorry to hear what your mum went through and no doubt the challenges faced by the whole family.Im worried for my own mum as she may have early onset.Can i ask if its ok about your mothers decline and how rapid it was.

Can you please clarify her statement that APOE4 leads to a 90% risk of dementia? That does line up with my research. While the risk is certainly high, it’s more like 50-70% which makes a huge difference and lends support to the idea that lifestyle changes can have a positive impact. 90% sounds close to certainty.
Bredesen protocol - almost exactly the OPPOSITE of what dieticians have prescribed in the past. Yeah, there's overlap with some veggies - but the Bredesen emphasis is on KETOSIS - which is low carb AND FATS. Dieticians have been all about high carbs and low fats.
Joe Rogan used to warn about his experiment with eating anchovies to get the correct oils for optimal health. For a long time he could not figure out why he was feeling so bad. Finally his doctor checked for heavy metals and found that indeed Joe was suffering from high levels of heavy metal contamination. Joe used to talk about this, but now all mention of his difficulties from eating fish has been scrubbed from his website.

How is a diet that includes legumes be low carb? WHY would you want to avoid naturally raised animal protein? You can eat nutrient dense animal protein AND eat large quantities of veggies and fruits, as Terry Wahls recommends in her well studied MS reversing diet.
Funny how the guest mentions fats ( healthy ). I've long suspected that healthy fats are an important component in the plant based diet yet there are Vegan doctors out there ( John Mcdougall, Caldwell Esseltyne, Jeff Novick) who are very anti fat including plant fats. You can see why there is so much confusion on this topic.
I think it depends on the purpose of the diet and how sick the person is. For example, Dr Esselstyn's diet (no oils) was developed for patients who had no surgical options left for heart disease and were basically left to die. It also depends on how well you can digest and metabolize saturated fat. I don't think the dietician did a good job of explaining that part of the diet.
@@richhahn2443 im positive its because they want patients at their site. Leaving out just enough. But also information nerds to be layered. For me it took a frw months on keto before i got rid of canola. Now i wint buy anything with it at all. But she mentioned healthy polyunsaturated oils and didnt mention omegas at the same time which would have helped the discussion. Cheers
Nice video but this should apply to everyone for overall health and not just Alzheimer prevention. Unfortunately, this kind of eating is expensive and takes much more time to prepare as for many often it is just easier to buy a ready-made processed meal. But then again, spend the time and money to be healthy is a lot better than spending the time and money on doctor visits and medicines. I think the jury is still out on a plant-based diet being the solution. I think there are just as many out there pushing for a high fat meat-based diet. But either way, HFCS, simple sugars and processed foods should definitely be reduced, if not removed and work for a balanced diet without grains. Two POVs to consider, Robert Lustig & Mark Sisson.
There is an alternative to eating fifteen servings of phytochemical-rich veggies when you get old and scared. The alternative is to eat a decent diet starting when you're a kid. Remember Granny? "Eat your veggies, it'll put colour in your cheeks." "Yeah, but Granny, I don't WANT green cheeks!" Sorry, kid, Granny is right: and it's one of those nice surprises you'll have to study science to understand. Green veggies give you pink cheeks. Amazing!
Just found this video - enjoyed it very much. Can't help but wonder if any of your food recommendations have been altered given COVID19 as fresh greens and berries for salads/smoothies are not cooked which potentially would kill viruses.
Thank you for giving clarity and making this EASY! The only concern is with the recommendation of coconut oil which is the highest in saturated fat. I'm sharing this with my alzheimer clients!
I am allergic to coconut. At first it was the protein part only, like Coconut milk or flakes. But now I react (trouble swallowing) to oil as well. Coconut oil is in everything now! I can barely find an ice cream that has chocolate in it, that doesn't use coconut oil. Chocolate bars are also now using it. What about people like me?!?
Healthier ways to get fats would be to eat whole food plant fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olives which are unprocessed and full of heathy fiber as well as nutrients.
I thought she was going to give us some recipes and meal plans that help us to plan our Alzheimer's Diet. We've already heard the science behind it from Dr. Bredesen. Oh well. . .
On Ted Talk there was a doctor who had an Alz patient listen to 40 hertz for 20 minutes a couple times a week. It helped. a couple years later he ran into her and could not diagnose her as having Alzheimers!

one big bowl of Borsch soup for breakfast with some whole grain toast avacardo and sardines. I also add 2 dessert spoons pumpkin oil and EV olive oil to the soup...put 10 to 15 veg and always with onion and garlic plus crucificus. type veg and at least 10 other veg of broad colours, some veg powder and whatever else you need...who needs cereal...
Oils and fats are highly processed foods, so no wonder they are considered bad. But fats naturally contained in plant foods, in moderation and if you're not suffering from heart disease, are more conducive to a good balanced diet. I'm confused about the fish thing and this constant necessity to eat the rainbow?! That can make things expensive and complicated for most and so much more confusing than whole plant based foods with no added oil. Butyrate comes from the result of eating plant fibre and omega essential oils are much better taken in their parental form LA and ALA, rather than as the non essential EPA/DHA If these are not already rancid before they enter the body, they definitely are as soon as they are ingested. They're fine in very cold deep water fish, but not at 37 degrees centigrade. The brain is flooded with a super high dose of rancid oil that it has to deal with. Plus, it only requires DHA in very small amounts. Anthropologists link the huge growth in human brains at around 800,000 years ago to the further development of our amylase enzymes and cooking tubers. The brain is a massive glucose consumer, which is it's preferred source of energy and widely available. I also don't get the hour of exercise a day, plus being active...necessary if you're tanking a lot of calories from oil, but is that sustainable and safe? Please don't get me wrong, I'm not an expert and this is just my point of view. I'm a 57 year old plant based male and have followed this way of eating for around 7 years after doing a year of 5:2 fasting. Which was great, but unsustainable for me at the time as I was cycling to work each day and kept forgetting to eat enough on the feast days. I'm a big fan of this channel and thanks for a really interesting interview!
Flax seeds are high in Omega 3 that are transformed into a nice amount of DHA *if your omega3/omega6 ratio is healthy*. Otherwise a supplement is probably the best way to go.
The vegan DHA product we have used for many years is Nutraveg omega-3 Plant Extra strength 1000mg ca.iherb.com/pr/Ascenta-NutraVege-Omega-3-Plant-Extra-Strength-Cranberry-Orange-Flavored-1-000-mg-6-8-fl-oz-200-ml/83220?rcode=KEV5216
If Splenda is bad for us, then what alternative is there? I'm diabetic and my wife has Alzheimer's. Is there an artificial sweetener that doesn't damage our gut/brain?
The sweet flavor has become such an integral part of our food that it takes time to drop it. I spent 6 months in China- one thing I noticed… Nothing was sweet, not even birthday cake. I never thought it possible, but now I even drink coffee black (with a little coconut oil🙃)
I don’t see any reference to statins in the Bredesen Protocol. I think it shows wisdom on his part to not venture a guess in an area that he has not extensively studied. (Personally, I avoid statins at all cost. See Dr. Paul Mason and Dr. David Dymond.)
That makes it extremely complicated. The kidneys regulate things so that you can rely on results. You really need to get a knowledgeable practitioner who is on board with real health to Monitor and recommend
100% in agreement. I can imagine what they'll do with this information. Plus, they are playing with your DNA. You'd have to have 100% compliance with every individual in the world to get true genetic markers. They've changed mine 3 times because of more individuals using 23 and they say bla bla bla. How many companies and/or individuals do we trust anymore. Power in the wrong hands is very seductive.
Well done ladies, one thing I was offended by was the remark about not needing the “Almighty Physician” you can do this alone, altho that may be true, Alzheimer’s is a very serious disease, and giving people the impression that they can solve it themselves is a bit egotistical and naieve. Sorry don’t be hurt, other than that you are both awesome.
I think what she was saying is that the most promising treatments for preventing and treating Alzheimer’s are lifestyle treatments, things we can do, not in pill form. I wasn’t offended by her comment at all. I felt empowered. I am a carrier of 2 APOE4 genes, a female, and my maternal grandmother and my mother have had it. Knowing that there is solid research out there that indicates that preventing this is in MY hands is huge. I don’t want to need a doctor, I want to be able to do this myself. My mom is suffering from Alzheimer’s and there is truly not much they can do for her-the doctors have admitted to her that if you are looking for a medical intervention to cure this, there just isn’t one. Her doctors have said it is all about lifestyle with this disease. So we are working on her lifestyle and have hope to slow it down, and I am doing everything I can as a woman in my early 40’s to stop this disease in its tracks for myself.

read the papers books and research the biochemestry, MOST of the major diseases are either diet or environtmental based. The drug companies want to sell drugs no profit in food.
Stevia is a plant that is used as a sweetener in Peru and many other countries. It does not raise blood sugars so it is safe for diabetics. Also, stevia has zero calories, so it does not cause weight gain like sugar does.
I agree with you for the patient in the latter stages. When he or she no longer recognizes a spouse or children, serve milkshakes. But in early stages, if there is hope of a reversal, fight like hell! Because that is what Alzheimer’s is!
She said. Coconut oil is good! But in some other sources,it says bad for our heart.so who is telling the truth. All. See are all story. Theories. Not proven.
Hello ,is that all we will eat the rest of our life. Because no carbohydrates,,no sugar ,no fats. Some said no grains.so we have nothing to eat.. plant based we are almost a monkeys. And goats.
Continue, berries, bananas, melons, lots of salads,and Vegetables, ) yogurt, tuna some chicken egg, and plenty water, herb tea and decaf coffee. You will be fine. You could treat yourself with some dessert, once in a while. The trick is eat in small amounts.! Unsolicited advice . Good luck.
Fats are absolutely required in this diet plan. Its energy is necessary since glucose from carbohydrates is limited. This is a keto/flex program in which moderate protein and high fat reign supreme, and non-starchy veggies are allowed. Plenty to eat there.
The number of APOE4 alleles is the relevant bit, so the information from 23andMe is adequate. They just don't tell you how many copies of APOE2 etc you have.
In moderation, unless you are an out-of-control diabetic, the negative impact of the glycemic index is off set by other benefits of NATURAL honey. Be sure to only use the real thing. And again I say… moderation!
Have you had the 23 &Me test run? The results were incredibly revealing. I felt like someone had personally interviewed my entire family back four generations.
@kennethmoore3783 Sorry Kenneth but you are, I say respectfully & happily wrong. There is more & more scientific proof - “evidence’ daily. Read Dr. Bredesen’s book and many others now. Bloodwork, brain scans and much more - double blind studies being done- so MANY people are not just arresting … but REVERSING the dementias. It’s real … and exciting. It’s too late for my dear mother- who passed 2013 - the longest & most difficult of ‘goodbyes’. I would suggest to anyone to start with Bredesen’s book … then do more research, google everything … RUclips doctors like Perlmutter, MD or Berg, DC or Lustig, MD +++. Whatever one can do for improvement - or - prevention. My best to you . Robin

On Ted Talk there was a doctor who had an Alz patient listen to 40 hertz for 20 minutes a couple times a week. It helped. a couple years later he ran into her and could not diagnose her as having Alzheimers!
What are "40 hertz"?
I think you can find it on RUclips
🤔 This is amazing life changing information, thank you 🤗💖💖💖🙏
Thanks Amy Lee My husband is diagnosed with Cognitive Decline. Pls. keep me informed on how he can be helped. It's great to know that as a lay person, I can help my husband myself with some of the procedures mentioned in your video. what is the best way to reach you for personal questions?
Read the book by Dr Dale Bredeson he has a protocol of assessments and treatments
@@faebalina7786 also the Sherzai's "The Alzheimer's Solution" and their NEURO focus - similar and complementary to Dr. Bredesen's work!
*It is always heartbreaking! My husband was diagnosed with multifactorial Alzheimer's disease. This also triggered epileptic fits.. To be blunt, all the prescription drugs we’ve used did not yield any positive improvement.

16 hour fast is a cake walk(no pun)!lol
toooooo easy
Thanks for the video. I just found out through 23 and me I have one copy of Apoe E4 . I'm 59 and know symptoms yet, I'm researching to make some life style changes.
I refuse to give into my bad genes. lol I will fight it tooth and nail. I'm grateful to know I have the gene so I can do something about it before it kicks in.
xebec1958 sadly there is no hard evidence that diet can prevent it.
That may be true but a healthy diet and exercise sure won't hurt.
Hi X,
You used the word ‘know’ instead of ‘no.’ I don’t know if that error is new for you, if it is then that might be a tiny cognitive sign.

one big bowl of Borsch soup for breakfast with some whole grain toast avacardo and sardines. I also add 2 dessert spoons pumpkin oil and EV olive oil to the soup...put 10 to 15 veg and always with onion and garlic plus crucificus. type veg and at least 10 other veg of broad colours, some veg powder and whatever else you need...who needs cereal...
I thought the diet says no bread/ gluten and that most wheat has been sprayed with Round-up at some point so none of that ?
Oils and fats are highly processed foods, so no wonder they are considered bad. But fats naturally contained in plant foods, in moderation and if you're not suffering from heart disease, are more conducive to a good balanced diet. I'm confused about the fish thing and this constant necessity to eat the rainbow?! That can make things expensive and complicated for most and so much more confusing than whole plant based foods with no added oil. Butyrate comes from the result of eating plant fibre and omega essential oils are much better taken in their parental form LA and ALA, rather than as the non essential EPA/DHA If these are not already rancid before they enter the body, they definitely are as soon as they are ingested. They're fine in very cold deep water fish, but not at 37 degrees centigrade. The brain is flooded with a super high dose of rancid oil that it has to deal with. Plus, it only requires DHA in very small amounts. Anthropologists link the huge growth in human brains at around 800,000 years ago to the further development of our amylase enzymes and cooking tubers. The brain is a massive glucose consumer, which is it's preferred source of energy and widely available. I also don't get the hour of exercise a day, plus being active...necessary if you're tanking a lot of calories from oil, but is that sustainable and safe? Please don't get me wrong, I'm not an expert and this is just my point of view. I'm a 57 year old plant based male and have followed this way of eating for around 7 years after doing a year of 5:2 fasting. Which was great, but unsustainable for me at the time as I was cycling to work each day and kept forgetting to eat enough on the feast days. I'm a big fan of this channel and thanks for a really interesting interview!
no cold pressed extra virgin oils are just pure oils....!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont eat seed oils, over refined etc
Regarding Omega 3 and DHA, can you comment on plant based sources for those with fish allergies?
Flax seeds are high in Omega 3 that are transformed into a nice amount of DHA *if your omega3/omega6 ratio is healthy*. Otherwise a supplement is probably the best way to go.
The vegan DHA product we have used for many years is Nutraveg omega-3 Plant Extra strength 1000mg ca.iherb.com/pr/Ascenta-NutraVege-Omega-3-Plant-Extra-Strength-Cranberry-Orange-Flavored-1-000-mg-6-8-fl-oz-200-ml/83220?rcode=KEV5216
Honey has a large glycemic response in insulin resistant people.
The diet is tailored to the individual
So what does that mean. I use a spoon of honey in porridge every morning
@@Tombstone2438 it spikes my glucose on a glucose meter. You may not have insulin resistance but I do.
You mentioned an oil called “Algo” or “Alga” oil. Can you spell that or tell us more?
No answers for you. They don't get any money if they answer you directly
@@Elmnopen It's algae oil.
It’s algal oil, which is a supplement created from algae and is a great source of Omega-3 ALA, DHA, and EPA, just like fish oil. Great for vegans :)
How can I find out if I have APoE4? Through a neurologist? The neurologists I've seen don't seem knowledgeable.
@Alison J I did and it said Alzheimer's risk. And I'm having memory problems.
Wait

Call Q 10 I think I’m saying that right I don’t know I’m blind and I have to talk to my phone, isn’t that from an animal product? Just curious
My question too.
what about probiotics?
Meat as a condiment. Love this description!
More power to you.
If Splenda is bad for us, then what alternative is there? I'm diabetic and my wife has Alzheimer's. Is there an artificial sweetener that doesn't damage our gut/brain?
This is a good place to start, but look deeply into other papers: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8600158/
The sweet flavor has become such an integral part of our food that it takes time to drop it. I spent 6 months in China- one thing I noticed… Nothing was sweet, not even birthday cake. I never thought it possible, but now I even drink coffee black (with a little coconut oil🙃)
Pure Stevia, without the erythritol or other artificial sugars. I make keto hot cocoa and keto ice cream and they're wonderful.
Sweeteners (even mouthwash) trigger hunger in 4 hours. Avoid, unless you want to feel peckish in 4 hrs' time?
What's the ketone range for people with cognitive decline?

Thank you. I heard their reference to Brain HQ. I'll look into that.
Do we stay away from statins?
Please answer my Question???
Avoid like the plague!
Go with Omega-3 fish oil supplements.
I don’t see any reference to statins in the Bredesen Protocol. I think it shows wisdom on his part to not venture a guess in an area that he has not extensively studied. (Personally, I avoid statins at all cost. See Dr. Paul Mason and Dr. David Dymond.)
Given people’s diets, the APOe4 is 1% of people with Alzheimer’s.
I heard last week that there are 36 factor, that could be harmful?
UCLA has done the reverse with Whole Food Plant Based and Dr Dean Ornish does the same thing.
How important is the load of plastics in our fish? Is there a better alternative to fish?
Good point.. perhaps organically farmed fish?
And mercury.
Is it possible to follow this diet when the patient has end stage kidney failure and is restricted to 2000-3000 mg kalium? Thank you.
That makes it extremely complicated. The kidneys regulate things so that you can rely on results. You really need to get a knowledgeable practitioner who is on board with real health to Monitor and recommend
Would this work for someone who is in the later stages of dementia ? My mom has mixed vascular dementia
Yes!
Great interview!
Does 23 And Me require you to ID your self ?
I don’t trust insurance companies with this info.
Not giving my DNA, nope!
I agree! My doctor wanted me to do the Cologuard poop test, but they do your DNA for this test, so I refused.
100% in agreement. I can imagine what they'll do with this information. Plus, they are playing with your DNA. You'd have to have 100% compliance with every individual in the world to get true genetic markers. They've changed mine 3 times because of more individuals using 23 and they say bla bla bla. How many companies and/or individuals do we trust anymore. Power in the wrong hands is very seductive.
Autism and Alzheimers have the same tangles. Pine Oil "Gum Turpentine" with sugar improves both.
Well done ladies, one thing I was offended by was the remark about not needing the “Almighty Physician” you can do this alone, altho that may be true, Alzheimer’s is a very serious disease, and giving people the impression that they can solve it themselves is a bit egotistical and naieve. Sorry don’t be hurt, other than that you are both awesome.
Not everyone believes that
I think what she was saying is that the most promising treatments for preventing and treating Alzheimer’s are lifestyle treatments, things we can do, not in pill form. I wasn’t offended by her comment at all. I felt empowered. I am a carrier of 2 APOE4 genes, a female, and my maternal grandmother and my mother have had it. Knowing that there is solid research out there that indicates that preventing this is in MY hands is huge. I don’t want to need a doctor, I want to be able to do this myself. My mom is suffering from Alzheimer’s and there is truly not much they can do for her-the doctors have admitted to her that if you are looking for a medical intervention to cure this, there just isn’t one. Her doctors have said it is all about lifestyle with this disease. So we are working on her lifestyle and have hope to slow it down, and I am doing everything I can as a woman in my early 40’s to stop this disease in its tracks for myself.

@@mildredrodriguez7020 can you please elaborate? What is that?
read the papers books and research the biochemestry, MOST of the major diseases are either diet or environtmental based. The drug companies want to sell drugs no profit in food.
You say, you see their brains regrow. In these cases , do their lost memories return in time?
Opinion on Stevia?
Stevia is a plant that is used as a sweetener in Peru and many other countries. It does not raise blood sugars so it is safe for diabetics. Also, stevia has zero calories, so it does not cause weight gain like sugar does.
@@paulcarlson1570 it leaves a bitter aftertaste that puts me off.
So interesting!!
Great info, shared by two attractive women !

They are suffering enough - let them eat what they want to. I'm sure you have good intentions.
I agree with you for the patient in the latter stages. When he or she no longer recognizes a spouse or children, serve milkshakes. But in early stages, if there is hope of a reversal, fight like hell! Because that is what Alzheimer’s is!
She said. Coconut oil is good! But in some other sources,it says bad for our heart.so who is telling the truth. All. See are all story. Theories. Not proven.
It’s good but MCT is better
Good food or fuel for the brain. But then may not be for the heart??
You have to make the choice to use or not, I guess.
Nobody talks about what cellphones are doing to our brains.
Dr Mercola does.
Hello ,is that all we will eat the rest of our life. Because no carbohydrates,,no sugar ,no fats. Some said no grains.so we have nothing to eat.. plant based we are almost a monkeys. And goats.
Sounds like an appropriate description of you ;)
How pathetic ! Eat a balanced meal with, small amounts of carbs .ie (oatmeal, sweet potatoes,
Continue, berries, bananas, melons, lots of salads,and
Vegetables, ) yogurt, tuna some chicken egg, and plenty water, herb tea and decaf coffee. You will be fine. You could treat yourself with some dessert, once in a while.
The trick is eat in small amounts.! Unsolicited advice . Good luck.
I am with you, it’s so funny But Not funny too. Lol
Fats are absolutely required in this diet plan. Its energy is necessary since glucose from carbohydrates is limited. This is a keto/flex program in which moderate protein and high fat reign supreme, and non-starchy veggies are allowed. Plenty to eat there.
It wont tell you what your APOE status is but will tell you what copies you have ???
The number of APOE4 alleles is the relevant bit, so the information from 23andMe is adequate. They just don't tell you how many copies of APOE2 etc you have.
Imagine if they a healthy diet, I mean meat and animals products. Polyunsaturated is not healthy but saturated is the ultimate best fat.
Never eat refined foods.
If you have Alzheimer's, from your diet. It is to late.
I have IBS. All the veggies will make me sick. I have Alzheimer’s
Alga oil?
Supposed to be excellent
I thought co co nut oil was good???
saunas?
I have not yet heard. A plant based eating people becomes Centenarians. This is only guessing theories.
watch Lorenzo's oil and "Do NO Harm"
Why stand in a kitchen when you didn't even feature any food or recipes??
A diet for Alzheimer’s patient.
Just a $1000 per person
Very vague ....
can you not just take and do everything?????
Raw honey raises glycemic level
Not Acacia honey
In moderation, unless you are an out-of-control diabetic, the negative impact of the glycemic index is off set by other benefits of NATURAL honey. Be sure to only use the real thing. And again I say… moderation!
Right 23×me ... BS 😅
Have you had the 23 &Me test run? The results were incredibly revealing. I felt like someone had personally interviewed my entire family back four generations.
Very frustrating…… you mostly just generalize
You need to learn something about nutrition before coming on line to talk about this subject.
Awfully pretty
Evidence? None
@kennethmoore3783
Sorry Kenneth but you are, I say respectfully & happily wrong. There is more & more scientific proof - “evidence’ daily. Read Dr. Bredesen’s book and many others now. Bloodwork, brain scans and much more - double blind studies being done- so MANY people are not just arresting … but REVERSING the dementias. It’s real … and exciting. It’s too late for my dear mother- who passed 2013 - the longest & most difficult of ‘goodbyes’. I would suggest to anyone to start with Bredesen’s book … then do more research, google everything … RUclips doctors like Perlmutter, MD or Berg, DC or Lustig, MD +++. Whatever one can do for improvement - or - prevention. My best to you . Robin
So fake!
It's not fake at all! The bredesen protocol saved my dads life
They look real to me.
Can you explain why you feel this way?
Can you please clarify her statement that APOE4 leads to a 90% risk of dementia? That does line up with my research. While the risk is certainly high, it’s more like 50-70% which makes a huge difference and lends support to the idea that lifestyle changes can have a positive impact. 90% sounds like a death sentence.
