Julie Gregory: ApoE4: Challenges and Opportunities

Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the metabolism of fats in the body of mammals. The ApoE4 subtype is the most well known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. It is also implicated in cardiovascular disease, stroke, Parkinson’s, Lewy body dementia, multiple sclerosis, and other aging-associated diseases. The underlying pathologic role of the APOE alleles may be understood in terms of its metabolic impact during aging, which has implications for optimizing our diet. Julie Gregory is the founder and president of the ApoE4.Info non-profit, a grassroots organization of ApoE4 carriers working to prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Julie also serves as the Chief Health Liaison for Apollo Health and shares her expertise through ApoE4 Consulting, LLC. Julie recently teamed up with Dr. Dale Bredesen and his integrative physician wife, Aida Lasheen Bredesen, MD to share the diet and lifestyle strategies she uses in the book, The End of Alzheimer’s Program: The First Protocol to Enhance Cognition and Reverse Decline at Any Age. Apoe4.info*** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ***Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/ Twitter:https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RobertLufkinMD*** GOT A SUGGESTION FOR A SHOW? ***Contact us at: https://robertlufkinmd.com/contact *** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ***We do work with sponsors and brands.
