This client was without doubt vulnerable to general cognitive decline and even Alzheimer's carrying one copy of the APOE 4 gene. As we discovered that her brain DNA age was 4.6 years older than her chronological age.
She had an average sleep during of 5:26 hours, yet genetically needed more. This sleep deprivation was reflected in her inflammation score. Her fasting blood sugar level wasn't isn't in the ideal range either, often being under-slept can cause this.
We've since:
Improved her circadian rhythm through light exposure.
Lowered blood glucose with Berberine.
Lowered vegetable oil intake & improved omega 3 intake.
Increased variety of diet with more vegetables.
Increased Choline intake.
Increased exercise & new hobbies.
Lowered alcohol consumption.
Increased her heart rate variability with a grounding mat.
Stopped caffeine after 3pm.
With exception of the supplement Berberine, these are all what we classify as stage 1 recommendations (lifestyle), being fundamental to improving wellness.
