About me

Circa 2018, I learned I carry two copies of the APOE4 gene—a variant that, depending on which numbers you trust, increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 12 to 25 times compared to the general population.

What began as fear and panic quickly gave way to resolve—and something deeper: a calling.

As a successful entrepreneur and business owner, I’ve spent my life in productive action—and this was no different. I dove headfirst into everything I could find about APOE4: the science, the protocols, the stories, and the strategies. I wasn’t about to hand over my future to fear.

Today, I’ve sailed past the average age of Alzheimer’s onset for people with my genotype—and I’m as active, both physically and mentally, as ever!

Now, I want to share what I’ve learned—to empower and offer hope to my fellow APOE4/4 sisters and brothers. I’ve even come to embrace these genes. They’ve served me well in life. And the truth is, we all carry risk genes—whether for Alzheimer’s, breast cancer, ALS, or something else. The key is what we do with that knowledge.

My theory is simple: Alzheimer’s is a disease of aging. APOE4 is not a deterministic gene. Starting as early as our 20s, 30s, and 40s, the body’s ability to maintain optimal health begins to decline. Cellular senescence sets in, hormones start to wane, nutrient absorption becomes less efficient, and the wear and tear from long-standing habits begins to show.
But if we can counter these changes and actively support the body’s resilience, we don’t just delay Alzheimer’s — we build a foundation to maybe prevent it entirely.

If the APOE4 gene affects you or someone you love, I’d be honored to have you subscribe and join this journey with me.
