Sure. Of the high penetrance mutations 23andme tests for, I don't have anything really bad. I think it's worth knowing for most people, because of minor things you can do to alter your risk. For example, people with the bad version of the high risk Alzheimer's gene (ApoE4) probably respond better to paleo-esque diets and intermittent fasting than the average person.



Can you explain a bit more about why certain diets would help for ApoE4? And how would fasting help?
