The ReCODE Protocol developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen has had a lot of success in mitigating and, in many cases, reversing cognitive decline. There are a lot of parts of the program that require discipline from the patient in order to be successful. It can be difficult to adhere to the program when you’re at home and temptations surround you to cheat. That’s why participating in ReCODE in assisted living may be a very effective way to ensure the highest degree of success.
ReCODE is short for “Reversal of COgnitive DEcline”. It is a program to help people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) improve or reverse their symptoms through a non-pharmaceutical approach.
The program starts with a large amount of lab work and testing. Usually a local testing business like Sonora Quest or LabCorp can do these. Your insurance may cover some of the testing.
When we have run ReCODE in assisted living (we’re actually doing a form of ReCODE called the Enhance Protocol), we’ve been able to coordinate these tests to have them done in our facility.
Once the tests are run, Apollo Health will generate a ReCODE report. The report explains what is wrong with the patient and what they can do to fix it.
From there Apollo Health offers a lot of resources on their website to implement the protocol. However, they recommend that you work with a health practitioner such as a doctor, nurse and/or health coach on an ongoing basis. The Protocol lasts about six months to a year.
Someone on the ReCODE protocol generally has to do seven activities known as the “Bredesen Protocol”:
You can do these activities at home. Although chances are the reason you are interested in this Protocol is that you or your loved one may have fallen short in many of these activities. Just the first activity of nutrition can be tremendously challenging.
Many people need help.
That’s why ReCODE in assisted living makes so much sense. An assisted living home such as ours will give you 24/7 care and supportive people. ReCODE in assisted living can help in all 7 areas:
The Bredesen Protocol is amazing. Many people have been able to recover from cognitive decline enough to go back to a job. But just as anything in life, great results require a lot of hard work. Hard work becomes easier when you have other people helping you. That’s why ReCODE in assisted living makes so much sense.
