What is the effect of External stress for APOE4 carriers?
Phoenix has measured External stress against 1 exact outcome for APOE4 carriers. External-stress weeks averaged 1.3 sleep-quality points lower; only a handful of dense loggers contributed.

External stress: what it changed, and what it did not
One intervention, every measured benefit and result that did not improve. See who it moved for, where it stayed neutral or went the other way, and the next hypothesis Phoenix can validate.

How to read this
Observational research: real APOE4 carriers tracked over time, each compared with their own earlier self. Members chose their interventions, with no randomisation or placebo group. Everything else they changed is shown beside each result.
