Let’s summarize the reCODE protocol, boiling it down to the essentials to make it as easy as possible to use. We will also cover the 5 key drivers to cognitive decline in nearly everyone.

Another success story from Karen. You will notice her daily routine is not as complicated as Jamie’s from the last episode. Karen is, in fact, determined to ONLY do the parts of the protocol that she wants and is suboptimal in many areas BUT still has gotten a great result.

One of Dr Bredesen’s success stories is Jamie. She offered to share her daily routine to give you an insight into how this reCODE protocol really works in the real world.

Detoxification may be the most difficult part of the reCODE protocol, since there are so many toxins that can contribute to cognitive decline. Fortunately, there are many therapies available when it comes to detoxing, starting with food.

The current medical theory holds that Alzheimer’s Disease is not caused by metals such as mercury, infections, hypothyroidism, low levels of vitamin D, or apparently anything else. Dr Bredesen, however, has shown clear evidence that cognitive decline is caused by an imbalance between synapse-preserving and synapse-destroying processes. Discover how APP (amyloid precursor proteins) responds to some of these metals in this episode of BrainBuilders.

Reaching optimal hormone levels is one of the most effective and most critical parts of the reCODE protocol. It is, however, one of the most controversial and difficult to optimize, for several reasons. Discover why and what you can do in this episode of BrainBuilders.

There are several ways to heal the gut. There are whole books and websites on this, but we will summarize the key points in this episode of BrainBuilders.

Inflammation is one of the most important drivers of cognitive decline, and it feeds directly into the Alzheimer’s mechanisms. Resolving inflammation is therefore critical to reversing cognitive decline. Once your lab test have determined WHY inflammation is present, there is a three-pronged approach to reduce it.

The idea that mental exercises-usually computer based-can improve cognitive function has been controversial, with some scientists criticizing unproven, hyped claims. But there are some diamonds in the rough in this niche. Hundreds of scientific papers have shown important cognitive effects of brain training. We’ll cover some in this episode of BrainBuilders.

Stress refers to running a system at a level beyond where it was meant to operate. We did not evolve to lead the lives most of us lead- lives of sugar-laden diets, late nights with incandescent lights, constant anxiety about work, poor sleep, poor nutrition and exposure to hundreds of toxic chemicals. We evolved to handle intermittent stress, not this constant stress.

These indicators have been proven in Dr Bredesen's practice time and time again. The current medical model has to stop looking for a magic pill to fix this...
