That is great that you are being so proactive, @that_girl. I can understand why you would have an interest in protecting yourself from strokes and TIAs by using all means necessary. Diet and nutrition are important ways to protect yourself.

I find genetic testing to be very interesting. Since you are aware of carrying the APOE e4 gene you must have had genetic testing done? When was that done? Were you having symptoms or problems that led to the genetic testing?

I had genetic testing done through 23 & Me. My daughter also has the APOE e4 gene. (She also inherited my Celiac genes, but so far has skipped the disease.) Since I am now 62 I am more aware of the average onset age closing in and am wondering if the diet could be a shield. I realize that major research funding for a diet/lifestyle change is hard to attain when no pharmaceuticals are involved, but hoping to see more research trials in the future.
