Frequently Asked Questions

Why APOE4 needs tighter ranges
APOE4 carriers have higher baseline neuroinflammation. A more permeable blood-brain barrier. Impaired lipid transport. Reduced resilience to oxidative stress. The list goes on. Which means "optimal for the average person" is nowhere close to "optimal for us." We covered two biomarkers in depth this episode. I'm giving you the numbers below, because that's what I wish someone had given me when I first got my diagnosis.
What's coming in Part 2
We ran out of time before getting to HSCRP, ferritin, GGT, and the hormone panel. Those are all coming in Part 2 (recording next month). And Part 4 is the episode I'm most excited for — we're covering a blood test that can actually detect Alzheimer's pathology in your bloodstream, years before symptoms. That's new. That's real. And I don't think most of my community has heard about it yet. Full conversation is up on YouTube. The moment where Dr. Fraser talks about "time is brain" (around 37:25) is, honestly, the reason I'm doing all of this work in the first place. If you only watch one minute of the whole episode, watch that one. Stay proactive, Kevin Most Newsletters? One-way street. How boring… This is the Phoenix Community.
