The normal lab ranges were built for the general population. What do they mean for APOE4 carriers?

In Part 1 of our biomarker conversation, I sit down with Dr. Grant Fraser to discuss homocysteine and the omega-3 index: what to test, how he interprets results, sources of omega-3, supplement quality and questions from the Phoenix Community. This follows our earlier conversations about lipids and insulin sensitivity.
