The Bredesen Protocol is a personalized, multi-factorial program developed by neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen for the prevention and treatment of cognitive decline. It is a personalized approach to optimizing brain health based on his decades of research into the mechanisms behind memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease. It addresses 7 key areas including nutrition, exercise, cognitive stimulation, sleep, detoxification, stress management and supplementation to slow, stop and reverse the symptoms of cognitive decline.

Functional medicine is a systems biology-based approach to healthcare and wellness that identifies and addresses the root cause(s) of dysfunction by assessing the entire person rather than focusing on a single aspect of health or symptom. A functional medicine approach recognizes that the body is an interconnected system where dysfunction in one area can impact others. It emphasizes prevention of disease as well as using an integrative approach where evidenced-based treatment including nutrition, exercise stress management and improving sleep quality can be utilized alongside conventional approaches.

Through a careful assessment of health history, current health status/symptoms, questionnaires, labs and more, a personalized plan will be created to help you reach and maintain your health goals.
