Donna found out she carried two copies of the APOE4 gene (APOE4/4) almost 10 years ago during a research study at Yale. She was 62. Nobody was talking about it. There was almost no support.

Today she's 72, cognitively sharp, and actively managing her health through diet, supplements, exercise, and community support.

In this Phoenix Member Stories episode, Donna shares:

→ The moment she got her results (and the shock that followed)

→ Why she's glad she got tested

→ How she told her kids (and how they reacted)

→ The lonely early years before communities like Phoenix existed

→ Her full supplement and intervention stack (including what she dropped and why)

→ How she uses AI to optimize her protocol

→ What she spends monthly on her health ($400+)

→ Her advice for anyone who just got the APOE4 result

→ Why it's never too late to start

If you carry the APOE4 gene (or suspect you might), this conversation is for you.
