Ex-Intelligence Analyst's APOE4 Protocol (After 13 Years)

She spent 30 years as an intelligence analyst — investigating biological weapons, briefing senators, training a generation of researchers. Then she found out she carries APOE4. This is what she did next.

In this episode, I sit down with Robin P. Shwetzer (NBC-HWC, FMCC, ReCODE Certified Coach) to walk through how she went from a 23andMe result 13 years ago to running a precision health coaching practice for APOE4 carriers and people in early cognitive decline.

🔬 About Robin:

Robin spent three decades as a U.S. intelligence analyst, including work on biological and chemical weapons programs. She's now a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, a Functional Medicine Certified Coach, and a ReCODE Certified Coach (Dr. Bredesen's protocol for cognitive decline reversal). She lives in Tampa, Florida.

🧬 About Phoenix:

Phoenix is the first precision health platform built for APOE4 carriers. If you carry APOE4 (or suspect you might), you don't have to figure this out alone.
