The science of reversing cognitive decline:
What we call Alzheimer’s disease is actually a protective response to a wide variety of insults to the brain: inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, infections, and inadequate levels of nutrients, hormones, and growth factors.

The Bredesen Protocol
What we call Alzheimer’s disease is actually a protective response to a wide variety of insults to the brain: inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, infections, and inadequate levels of nutrients, hormones, and growth factors. The Bredesen Protocol, developed by Dale Bredesen, MD, involves a “functional” approach to treatment. We start by identifying which of these insults we need to address and continue by laying out a personalized lifestyle plan. (from end of alzheimers book)
This means that we address the root causes of the disease. The Bredesen Protocol looks at each individual as a whole system and identifies the unique factors that have led to the programmed downsizing of your cognitive function. The Bredesen Protocol utilizes multiple personalized strategies to improve your cognition and reverse the cognitive decline of SCI (subjective cognitive impairment), MCI (mild cognitive impairment) and early Alzheimer’s disease.

Our solutions include
PRECODE
The PreCODE Program is designed for individuals who would like to optimize their brain health and prevent cognitive decline. PreCODE is intended for individuals who are asymptomatic and interested in preventing cognitive decline and promoting brain health optimization.
This program was designed for adults of any age with a family history of dementia, with risk factors such as pre-diabetes or inflammation, and for all of us who are over 45 years of age.
ReCODE
The ReCODE Program delivers personalized information and resources for individuals who are experiencing symptoms of cognitive decline and are ready to engage in an intensive program to restore and enhance cognitive function while promoting overall health.
This program was designed for anyone experiencing subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and those with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Both programs are designed to fit anyone, whether you’re already showing symptoms or merely hoping to prevent them.
Dr. Goetzel is certified in ReCODE 2.0!
“The Bredesen Protocol is a personalized program to prevent and reverse cognitive decline associated with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and early Alzheimer’s disease. ReCODE 2.0 Certified Practitioners are up to date with all the tools needed to manage the overall care, including identification of the specific drivers of cognitive decline and development of a treatment plan using the Bredesen Protocol with the PreCODE and ReCODE Reports. Contact us now to schedule your consultation with a leader in the field of treating, preventing, and reversing cognitive decline.”
Know Your CQ Score
Cognitive Quotient or “CQ,” is designed to provide a snapshot of one’s current cognitive abilities created specifically to detect early signs of neurological degeneration. The CQ Assessment is free of charge and takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
You’ll receive your score as a percentile compared to age-matched peers, which will automatically direct you towards one of two programs designed to help you optimize your cognitive abilities.

Cognoscopy
Understand your risks for cognitive decline with a comprehensive assessment, which uses a combination of laboratory and cognitive testing to identify the contributors toward cognitive decline or risk for decline.
Three Simple Steps for Assessing Cognitive Risk
- A set of blood tests and specialty tests (urine, saliva, stool) to reveal risk factors for dementia.
- A series of simple, online cognitive assessments
- An MRI scan with volumetrics. The MRI is optional for those who have no symptoms but is recommended for those who already have cognitive symptoms or whose cognitive scores suggest any degree of cognitive impairment.

How Much Does a Cognoscopy Cost?
The price of a cognoscopy is dependent upon specific tests ordered. Our team will be happy to provide pricing information with your personalized recommendations.

KetoFLEX 12/3
In addition to supplements and other lifestyle changes, diet is an essential component to our program. KetoFLEX 12/3 is a diet (that becomes a lifestyle) to optimize cognition. Let’s break it down so it’s easier to understand:
- Keto refers to ketosis, the natural process by which your body breaks down stored and dietary fat to use as fuel.
- FLEX refers to metabolic flexibility, the ability to use either glucose or fat as a fuel source.
- 12/3 refers to the minimum amount of time each day that you should spend fasting; for at least 12 hours and 3 hours before bed.
Check out Dr. Bredesen’s latest book, The End of Alzheimer’s Program for in-depth information about KetoFLEX 12/3. Apollo Health subscribers have access to detailed instructions about how to implement the diet which can be found in the KetoFLEX 12/3 Nutritional Guidelines, along with lots of nutritional support information.
LifeSeasons Protocol Supplements
Dale Bredesen, MD, partnered with LifeSeasons®, a leading producer of condition-specific nutritional supplements, to create a supplement solution to support those on the PreCODE and ReCODE Protocols.
Each of the ingredients and dosages in NeuroQ, for PreCODE, has been thoughtfully selected with key nutrients to help provide long-term neuroprotection of healthy brain function. Similarly, each of the products in the ReCODE Protocol line has been carefully formulated to address the micronutrient deficiencies of those in cognitive decline.
Health Coaching
A Health Coach is a valuable part of a collaborative community care team that supports an individual throughout the intricate journey toward better health.
Bredesen Protocol Trained Health Coaches partner with individuals and their care partners by providing support to understand and adopt the changes required to prevent and reverse cognitive decline.
Why do I Need a Coach?
Why a Bredesen Protocol Trained Health Coach?
Our coaches have been certified through the National Board for Health and Wellness (NBHWC) and have previously completed training in the Bredesen Protocol for ReCODE, under the guidance of Dr. Bredesen and some of the top experts in the field of brain health.
