How To Understand Your Genotype

Allie asks:Her brother has the ApoE 3,4 genotype and high cholesterol. This genotype indicates that he is more likely respond to dietary changes in fat. They say that he should be eating a low-fat diet but they don't explain what that means. Do you have any advice what kinds of fat he should eat/avoid OR if a low fat diet is actually good for that genotype.

In my response I recommend: -23andme genetic testing -The APO E Gene Diet book -Sterling’s App at MTHFRsupport.com or Genetic Genie’s Methylation Analysis and Detox Profile. Are Multivitamins A Waste of Money?
