Pamela McDonald, author of the APO E Gene Diet ,  is a leading Integrative Medicine Nurse Practitioner, who has devoted her life to the prevention of heart disease and chronic illness by utilizing the body’s own genetic recipe and promoting the use of natural organic whole food.

I had the great pleasure and honour of meeting Pamela, intentionally I might add, during my recent tour of the United States. Pam practices in Danville, California, just a few minutes outside of San Jose.
She has a beautiful office, fantastic staff and I likened it to going to see your doctor in a tranquil SPA- like setting.

After reading her book , THE APO E GENE Diet, (pronounced by saying each letter, A – P – O – E) I knew that she could provide me with vital answers about my health/weight issues and that she would be able to tell me how to FIX whatever came up.

First of all, We all have the Apo E gene.  This gene plays a key role in our body’s internal environment and is a determining factor in the development of chronic disease, especially heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease. What is different for all of us is how what our gene combination is.The Apo E gene occurs as three variations, or alleles, in humans: Apo E 2, Apo E 3, and Apo E 4. Since genes come in matching pairs, we each have two alleles of every gene, one from each parent.  If you received an Apo E 2 from one parent and an Apo E 3 from the other parent, your genotype would be E 2/3. The six possible combinations of Apo E gene pairs are E 2/2, E 2/3, E 3/3, E 4/2, E 4/3, and E 4/4. 

What does this mean for you?

Well depending on what your specific combo is, it will give you answers to the future of your state of health or how to fix what you are experiencing now.
How? First, The specific pair of Apo E genes you inherited from your parents greatly influences your predisposition to certain illnesses, including heart disease, vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and cancer.  For example, persons with the Apo E 4/4 genotype could have up to a 90 percent chance of developing a chronic illness such as Alzheimer’s disease.  Maintaining an optimal diet and lifestyle for your particular Apo E genotype is known as maintaining a "gene-supportive environment" (GSE), and doing so can dramatically reduce your risk of developing these chronic illnesses.  That’s why the Apo E Gene Diet was created.

The Apo E gene has been shown to be the number one factor affecting how your body uses The Big Three macronutrients or food groups, and this influences the possibility and severity of developing certain diseases.  It is extremely important to eat the right balance of carbohydrates, fats and proteins for your specific Apo E genotype.

The Apo E Gene Diet is not a diet in the typical sense of the word.  With the Apo E Gene Diet, we use the word "diet" to mean a series of specific recommendations for individual nutrition and other environmental factors, such as exercise and stress levels, to name a few. The goal of the Apo E Gene Diet is disease prevention and a healthy life.

Pam has patented this test so that if you WANT to know the answers to your own genetic makeup, please contact her. It was incredible the relief and peace of mind that came from my decision to test. Believe me when i tell you that your Doctor does not dig Deep Enough. The normal test for Cholesteral etc, doesn’t show the real picture. Even if it says you are fine!!

If you have heart disease in your family, alzheimers, or you want to lose weight eating whats right for your body, pick up her book from this site, and become enlightened. I did and I am so glad I did.
