ApoE 3/4 and 4/4 are better off avoiding animal fat, especially saturated fat. They will reduce their risk of Alzheimer’s by following a vegetarian or even vegan diet.

In reply to Laurie Lind. DNA Life is a genetic test that tests for APOE variants, among a whole host of other genes that can be effected by lifestyle, diet, and targeted supplementation. It is done by Nordic Labs overseas. The purchase price includes a skype consultation by a trained practitioner. I've had both "23 & Me" and DNA Life done. DNA Life provides a wealth of information and free consultation. It is much more understandable & useable than the "23 & Me" raw data which needs to be analyzed by a functional medicine practioner. That can be quite expensive and difficult to access in some areas. My husband and I have both had DNA Life done. We have made substantial shifts in diet, lifestyle, exercise, and use of targeted supplements, according to our individual gene variants. You get a PDF file of all your test results, summaries, highest priorities that need support, suggestions, and "next steps". The purchase, delivery of the kit, instructions, and return shipment were seamless. Results and a skype consultation were completed in approx. 3 weeks after their receipt of your cheek swab at Nordic Labs.

In reply to Aelxa Hill. You can ask your physician to order a complete gene sequencing. Medical records are still supposed to be relatively private. Do not have access to your medical records via a medical portal, it is too easy for hackers and others get to your medical history through a medical portal. You have the right to your medical records, just go to the hospital or clinic sign a form and get a paper copy. I get a copy of every test I get done and keep them in a ringbook at home. Medical records can be discarded after 7-10 days and sometime even sooner.

In reply to Ann. You do not want to use 23andMe unless you give a fake name and pay using a prepaid debit card which you can purchase with cash.Do not pay with your own credit or debit card, they can trace it to you. The company was started by the wife of the founder of Google. They collect and sell your gene information to other private companies.
