Using diet, psyllium husk and ezetimibe, I lowered my ApoB nearly 40%, from 115 to about 70, without a statin. I walk through my lab panels, the changes I made and the evidence available at the time of this June 2026 recording, including what I was still watching next.

If you carry APOE4 and watched a parent decline, you may worry that you started too late. In this episode, I walk through the FINGER and U.S. POINTER trials, cognitive reserve and the dementia timeline, then discuss which actions to prioritize and where the evidence is still preliminary.

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.

Your blood sugar looks fine. Your A1C is normal. But your brain might already be starving for glucose.

I sit down with Dr. Grant Fraser, a board-certified anti-aging and regenerative medicine physician and fellow APOE4 carrier, to explore brain insulin sensitivity, the limits of routine blood tests, diet, ketosis, exercise and treatment options.
