Latest research
This week's deep dive.
APOE4 is a gene variant carried by about 25% of people. It's the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. If you carry one copy (APOE3/4), your risk is 2-3x higher. Two copies (APOE4/4) means 8-12x higher.
But carrying APOE4 is not a diagnosis. Research shows that lifestyle interventions, targeted supplementation, and proactive health tracking can significantly reduce risk. That's what this site is about: translating the latest research into actionable steps.
