He argues that Alzheimer’s is not one condition but three distinct conditions, each impacting the brain differently. The book outlines 36 metabolic factors (including micronutrients, hormone levels, and sleep) that can trigger cognitive decline and provides a detailed protocol, known as ReCODE, to rebalance these factors through lifestyle modifications such as diet, supplementation, exercise, and brain training. The approach emphasizes the importance of addressing multiple 'holes' in brain health to prevent and reverse cognitive decline.
