The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline
Dale Bredesen
In this book, Dr. Dale Bredesen presents a revolutionary program that fundamentally changes how we understand and treat Alzheimer’s disease. 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.
"Every professional athlete I've worked with has specialists that help them. They have coaches, they have trainers. Getting a coach doesn't mean you're weak. It means that you know the best use of your time is not to do a deep dive in every single aspect of health and wellness." - Dr. Myles Spar
