It’s in your genes.

What You Need to Know About the APOE Gene

Some genes determine hair color, some your nose size. The APOE gene (pronounced by saying each letter, A – P – O – E) determines how your body metabolizes certain foods, and cholesterol. Research shows diseases including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, autism and multiple sclerosis are directly related to our APOE genotype… research also shows how our diet and exercise choices impact this gene. 

In other words, your propensity to illness—and to health—is written in your genes. Your lifestyle choices impact how much, or how little, this genetic coding actually impacts your health.

Your APOE genotype determines the healthiest lifestyle choices for you. And that’s exactly where the APOE Gene Online Program comes in. 

Thousands of people have found that following the recommendations based on their specific APOE gene type, results in not only relief or reversal of chronic illnesses but other enhanced living results as well.

Percentage of APOE Genotypes in the General Population

The combination we carry affects how our body processes food and reacts to the environment, creating unique risk profiles for different diseases. For example while 25% of us have the 4/2, 4/3 or 4/4 combination, this carries a much higher chance of developing heart disease or Alzheimer’s—in the absence of a gene supportive environment.

The APOE Gene and You

There are six variations of APOE gene expression. Yes, some are lucky enough to be predisposed to being healthy and disease-free. Others have a predisposition to developing a range of diseases (shown below). The risk factors can be minimized or turned off—with the right lifestyle choices. 

The APOE Gene and Disease

Scientific studies show certain APOE gene types carry an increased risk of chronic diseases such as:

  • Alcoholism 
  • Alzheimer’s 
  • Cancer 
  • Depression, anxiety or other mood disorder
  • Diabetes
  • Gout
  • Heart Disease
  • High cholesterol (high triglycerides or LDL, and low HDL)
  • Insulin resistance
  • Neurological disease
  • Obesity
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

If you have a personal or family history of any of these diseases, you can minimize this predisposition—and even heal an existing condition. Knowing your APOE genotype, and making the right lifestyle choices for this genotype, creates a gene supportive environment. And that’s the key. The APOE Program featuring the APOE Gene Diet® is your roadmap to creating this gene-supportive environment. You will learn step-by-step, how too:
