Did you know a specific way of eating has been associated with up to a 53% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease?* As a geneticist, that statistic gives me hope.
We often hear about the role of genes in Alzheimer’s disease, particularly a gene called APOE4 - one of the strongest known genetic risk factors for dementia. But here’s what excites me most:
“Your genes are not your destiny.”
The science of epigenetics and nutrigenomics shows us that our daily choices can influence how our genes are expressed - impacting many of the biological pathways involved in healthy ageing and brain health. In other words, while we can’t change the genes we inherit, we can help shape how they behave.
That’s why understanding your genetic blueprint is only the beginning. The next step is knowing what to do with that information - and it’s exactly why I’m excited for AgeVantage to collaborate with BettaYou.

AgeVantage
Helps you understand your unique genetic profile and identify opportunities to optimise your long-term health.

BettaYou
Brings that science to life through nutrient-dense, whole-food products that align beautifully with the principles of the MIND Diet — protein, fibre, nuts, seeds and real ingredients that nourish both body and brain.
As someone who works in genetics, longevity and preventive health, I choose to partner only with brands that reflect the science I believe in. That’s why I support whole-food nutrition. Not quick fixes. Not miracle claims. Not products designed to override biology - just real food that works with your biology.
Because healthy ageing isn’t built in a laboratory. It’s built through the choices we make every day. One meal. One snack. One habit at a time.
Together, AgeVantage and BettaYou are making healthy ageing, brain health and dementia prevention more practical, more accessible and more actionable.
If you knew your genes increased your risk of Alzheimer’s disease, would it change the way you eat?
*Research note: In the landmark MIND Diet study, participants with the highest adherence to the diet had up to a 53% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease compared with those with the lowest adherence (Morris et al., Alzheimer’s & Dementia, 2015).
