What is the Bredesen Protocol, and who can benefit from it?
Developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen at Apollo Health, the Bredesen Protocol is a prevention and treatment method based on 36 factors, including insulin resistance, poor nutrient status, lack of trophic support, exposure to toxins, and more, that can trigger “downsizing” in the brain.
The Bredesen Protocol has two pathways: PreCODE and ReCODE.

She has witnessed firsthand the rising rates of older adults with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, and ALS. She feels strongly that medical providers can help prevent the development of these diseases by focusing on a multidimensional approach that targets their root causes, thereby changing the trajectory of brain potential.
