Why You Should Find Out Your ApoE Gene Type
It’s true that God has made us all very different, and yet there are similarities among us. For example, we all have a specific ApoE gene type that can predict how our bodies will develop and metabolize food for energy.
Dr. Lisa read and reread a fantastic book about eating for your gene type. “The Perfect Gene Diet” by Pamela McDonald, N.P.
We can find out what your ApoE gene is with lab tests from Health Diagnostic Laboratories. HOPE Care members can get them expedited and have them taken in the Excell for Life office.
Once you find out what gene type you have and then we can teach you the very best way (e.g. percentages calories your should be eating that come from carbs, fats, and proteins) for you to eat and exercise for your gene type!
