Ep. 11 The Accumulation: What I Do When the Research Doesn't Give Me an Answer
Season 1
Episode 11

Description
This episode is different. No protocol, no experiment, no takeaways in the usual sense. Instead, I'm sitting with what happens when APOE4 research keeps getting more specific and doesn't hand me anything to actually do about it.
I walk through a new study on how APOE4 disrupts a backup fuel system in aging neurons, my own spiral into APOC1 research after a confident claim from a longevity doctor turned out to be more complicated than advertised, and what it's actually like to keep learning about a gene that touches nearly every system tied to Alzheimer's risk. This one is about the accumulation, not the answer.
