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.
The APOE gene variants are linked with the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Find out whether you carry the APOE risk type for Alzheimer’s – and learn what research shows about supplements and lifestyle changes to prevent this disease.
Genetic variants in FN1 that reduce fibronectin also protect against Alzheimer’s in people with APOE E4. Here’s how to check your genes.
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.
Understand the connection between statin use and brain fog. Dive into the research on how cholesterol-lowering drugs impact cognitive health and memory.
Your APOE and COMT genotypes together may impact memory and cognitive function in older age.
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.
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.
Two natural fibrinolytics to reduce clotting are nattokinase and lumbrokinase. Learn more about these options based upon the newest research and clinical trials.
Discover the role of TNF-alpha in inflammation and its link to chronic diseases. Learn how genetic variants affect TNF-alpha levels and explore natural solutions for chronic inflammation.
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.
Learn how new research on brain aging and dementia connects the serotonin 2A receptor with psychedelics, brain aging, and Alzheimer’s.
