Your APOE Type and Alzheimer’s Risk: How to Find It, What It Means, and What to Do
Find out your APOE type, understand your Alzheimer’s risk by genotype, sex, and ancestry, and learn about real prevention strategies.
Alzheimer’s Prevention
Genetic variants can play an important role in your risk for Alzheimer’s disease. By understanding your risk, you can prioritize lifestyle and diet changes to prevent cognitive decline and dementia in aging.
Reelin – Long Covid, Depression, and Alzheimer’s
Reelin is a key glycoprotein involved in brain development, cognition, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, and cardiovascular health.
Genetic Mutations that Protect Against Alzheimer’s Disease
Just like there are genetic variants that increase the risk of Alzheimer’s, there are also variants that protect against this disease. Check your genetic data to get a better picture of your risk factors. (Member’s article)
Fibronectin, Genetics, and Alzheimer’s Prevention
Genetic variants in FN1 that reduce fibronectin also protect against Alzheimer’s in people with APOE E4. Here’s how to check your genes.
Plasmalogens: Healthy Brain Aging and More
Plasmalogen levels in the brain are key to brain health. Low plasmalogen is linked to Alzheimer’s and ME/CFS. Healthy ways to boost your levels.
APOE and COMT: Cognitive Performance in Aging
Your APOE and COMT genotypes together may impact memory and cognitive function in older age.
Lion’s Mane: Cognitive function, nerve regeneration
Lion’s mane mushrooms have a long history of being used as a medicinal food for increasing energy, improving nerve function, and boosting brain power.
Klotho VS Reduces Alzheimer’s Risk for APOE E4 Carriers
The Klotho protein is involved in many of the diseases of aging. Learn more about this gene and find out how your Klotho variants may impact healthy aging.
Prions: Genetic Mutations that Increase Prion Disease Risk
Prions are able to infect, causing the normal protein around them to also misfold. These misfolded proteins aggregate to cause neurogenerative disease. Susceptibility to prion diseases depends in part on your genes.
Melatonin Receptor Gene: Alzheimer’s Risk and Night Shift Work
Shift work and ‘social jet lag’ are linked to an increased risk for several chronic diseases. A genetic variant in the MTNR1A gene impacts melatonin receptors in the brain. (Member’s article)
Serotonin 2A receptor: Psychedelic response and Alzheimer’s disease
Learn how new research on brain aging and dementia connects the serotonin 2A receptor with psychedelics, brain aging, and Alzheimer’s.
TREM2 and Alzheimer’s Disease Risk
The TREM2 gene is important in how the brain’s immune system functions. Learn how variants in this gene impact the risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
SOD1 Gene: Your Antioxidant Defense System
Our body has built-in antioxidants that fight against cellular stress. The superoxide dismutase enzyme fights against oxidative stress in your cells.
Lithium Orotate: Mood, Alzheimer’s, and Aging
Studies show that lithium in ground water is linked to lower levels of Alzheimers, depression, and aggression. Find out how lithium may be important in Alzheimer’s prevention.
Alzheimer’s and Light at Night: Taking action to prevent this disease
Too much blue light at night is standing out as a player in circadian rhythm dysfunction and can increase your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Discover ways to improve your sleep quality and environment to help lower your modifiable risk.
