What are the benefits of awareness?

It is likely that more than half of all cognitive decline is caused by modifiable risk-factors. We are at the beginning of a preventative brain health revolution and understanding your ApoE status and how it affects your prevention planning is the first step.

When will I know my results?

After you order your test, you should receive it in 2-3 days. Then it is up to you to sample and send the test back (we include a FedEx envelope). After that, you should know your results in about a week. You will receive instructions on how to schedule your consultation to review your results when you receive your testing kit.

Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this test?

We have known about ApoE4 risks for many years, but until recently, even among doctors, there was a belief that there was nothing you could do - so why bother to test?

Luckily, this has changed dramatically in the last two years as our understanding of risk-factors and Alzheimer's pathology rapidly evolves.
