Seminar: Turning Off Illness with The APO E Gene Diet by Pam McDonald September 10, 2010

Sept 10, 8 am to 6 pm and Sept 11, 9 am to 6 pm

Is your body giving off disease warnings signals?

Subtle changes and warnings such as obesity, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure can lead to serious chronic illnesses including heart disease and Alzheimer's disease. A recent Alzheimer's abstract from the Alzheimer's Association confirmed that, in just 6 years, Alzheimer's disease has increased by an alarming 47%. In addition, many experts believe a serious dementia trend is emerging from our current obesity and diabetes epidemic.

Your body's own DNA is a predictor of many chronic disease risk factors. Pamela McDonald, integrative medicine nurse practitioner, uses simple blood tests, or cheek swab, to test for a person's specific type of APO E gene and advanced cholesterol levels. Each type of APO E gene requires a particular balance of carbohydrate, fat, and protein for optimal health. McDonald is able to match these findings with personalized lifestyle plan, minimizing the patient's risk of chronic disease.

McDonald's research and clinical practice illustrates the "one diet fits all" fallacy. For example, to avoid chronic disease, some people require a higher fat diet, while others require a low-fat diet. By following the correct individual APO E gene diet and exercise prescription, patients may minimize their body's predisposition to chronic diseases.

A graduate of Andrew Weil, MD's, Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, Pamela McDonald, NP, is the award-winning author of The APO E Gene Diet. Her second edition, The Perfect Gene Diet, will be released in the Fall, and includes a foreword by Wayne Dyer, PhD, internationally known author and speaker on self-improvement. The book focuses on turning off chronic illness with genetics, nutrition, and exercise.
