Chris Hemsworth has shared a personal health update after learning he carries a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.

While filming Limitless, genetic tests revealed he has two copies of the APOE4 gene, making his risk up to ten times higher. “That warning sign was motivation to take better care of myself,” he said.

The 41-year-old actor has shifted to a more balanced lifestyle, focusing on mental and physical health. “I’m listening to my body more and not smashing myself every session,” Hemsworth explained. He’s added mindfulness, stillness, and regenerative therapy with Dr. Adeel Khan to his routine.

Family time is now a priority. “I used to go from job to job, always stressed,” he admitted. “Now I think about how each project affects my time at home.” While committed to health, Hemsworth rejects extreme anti-aging fads, stressing the importance of living fully.

He calls the early warning a “blessing,” reminding others that embracing mortality can make life more meaningful. As he put it, “We all have an expiration date — so I want to enjoy the time I have.”
