Stress, as we have already identified, is a major player in the cognitive decline story. Dietary and other lifestyle changes are challenging and, especially in people that have eaten a particular way for decades, may be met with resistance. Listen to some of these stories and ways to work around the resistance.
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.

So we've covered the 40+ lifetime risk factors for cognitive decline, discussed the lab tests you need to see what specific trophic factors you may be lacking in... NOW WHAT?
As Dr Bredesen points out, this is a complicated condition that has over 40 factors that can effect cognitive function. Rest assured, you don't have to solve all 40 to see improvement! He discusses something called a "threshold point" where enough of the factors are addressed to begin the healing process. Some of the solutions are more complicated than others depending on your individual conditions. Diabetes, Heart Disease, Sleep Apnea and menopause are just a few of these complicatations but we will also cover the specifics of how to heal the brain even if you have them as well.
This episode will cover a few, all encompassing changes that can help most people with a risk of cognitive decline.

In today's episode of Brain Builders we discuss the specfic lab tests that need to be done to reveal what may be causing your cognitive symptoms and how to go about getting them done. We also cover the goal numbers you need to have in all these areas. Further episodes will cover each individual test/indicator and uncover the cause and what you can do about it. Do not give up hope! 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 problem. It is much too complicated for that. They have already spent billions of dollars and have failed to find a solution for decades. Working with your body's natural ability to heal itself is key to getting your mind and your life back.

Cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's, Dementia and the long term effects of concussions has been believed to be irreversible, until now! Over 35 indicators have been identified by Dr. Dale Bredesen, Professor and Founding President of the Buck Institute, UCLA. In this episode of Brain Builders, we will discuss the list of indicators that can be used to monitor your risk for long term cognitive decline and what you can do about them. The days of giving in to "the slow goodbye" are OVER! Patients that identified their specific indicators, and following the reCODE protocols are reversing their syptoms TODAY! Stay tuned for more details as we discuss the exciting new protocols that are giving hope to Americans every single day.

Have you, or a loved one, had a concussion? How would you know for sure? In this episode of Brain Builders we discuss the symptoms to look out for and what to do about them. Some of the symptoms include: Headache or "pressure" in the headNausea or vomitingBalance problems or dizzinessDouble or blurry visionSensitivity to lightSensitivity to noiseFeeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggyConcentration or memory problemsConfusionJust not "feeling right" or "feeling down" Today we discuss the biological changes that occur in the brain after head trauma and how it can lead to long-term cognitive effects later in life. We cover specfic nutritional changes and other holistic approaches that can help speed recovery and even protect the brain from further damage.

You have seen your loved one, or friends, suffer with Alzheimer's as the progress through "the slow goodbye", so why would you want to know if you carry the genetic marker? You can't do anything about it...can you? This attitude, while understandable, is no longer valid. Statistically, yes, if you carry the ApoE4 marker you are at higher risk. But don't give up! Those without the marker still have a 9% risk of contracting the disease. If one parent carries the gene, you have a 30% of being infected and if both carry it, you jump to a 90% chance! While current monotherapies for AD have proven woefully inadequate, new, cutting edge approaches that work WITH your body's ability to heal itself are coming to light.
Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline, has opened my eyes to the reality of 20th Century medicine. The "monotherapeutic" approach (one magic pill to cure any condition) is no longer working... especially in the case of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease. Big Pharma has literally conducted hundreds of clinical trials and spent BILLIONS of dollars to make a magic pill for Alzheimer's.The only "successes" have little symptomatic effect and very little or NO effect on disease progression!
That is what intrigued me about his new approach. The current medical perception of how to cure AD and other neurodegenerative diseases is slowly starting to change thanks to Dr Bredesen's work. He has identified over 40 factors that can lead to cognitive decline. While it was once believed the culprit was the amyloid plaquing that was found in patients suffering with Alzheimer's, Dr Bredesen has a novel perspective. His research has shown that the plaquing is actually the brain's way of protecting the body against the 40 factors I will be discussing over the next several shows. The "American Diet" is slowly turning our population into mindless zombies. It has lead to chronic inflammation, an overprescribing of toxic drugs such as statins and blood pressure meds, and sleep apnea that often goes undiagnosed.
As an "alternative health" professional, my purpose for this podcast is to summarize Dr Bredesen's findings and guide our suffering population to the proper health coaches, alert them to the nutritional danger signs and reveal the genetic tests that can help turn around the sinking ship of monotherapeutics. As a former professional athlete, I also realized the connection of Dr Bredesen's findings to the long term effects of concussions and CTE.
