A Breakthrough in Treating Alzheimer’s Disease and Reversing Early Cognitive Decline

Receiving an Alzheimer’s diagnosis can be devastating. You don’t know what the future will bring, and there’s so much to navigate with treatment and ongoing care. There are also fears and uncertainty about your cognitive health moving forward.

However, did you know that it’s possible to reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s disease if caught early? The ReCODE Protocol is a comprehensive, integrative approach that offers hope for people in Cincinnati needing treatment for cognitive decline. At Blatman Health and Wellness Center, our integrative medical approach includes a comprehensive treatment plan that can arrest cognitive decline and even restore brain health.

When Cognitive Decline Becomes a Problem

As we get older, some cognitive regression is expected, along with weakened vision, reduced muscle strength, and hearing loss. Not remembering where you put your car keys and then finding them a few minutes later is usually nothing to worry about. However, holding your keys in your hand and wondering, “What are these for?” is a good reason to see your doctor.

When cognitive decline surpasses what’s typical for aging, early intervention is crucial. A comprehensive approach can help slow the progression of dementia and even maintain cognitive health. This strategy can include managing depression symptoms, encouraging physical activity, avoiding inflammatory foods, performing mental activities that exercise the brain, and much more, depending on the type of Alzheimer’s that is diagnosed.

However, simply slowing the decline can still leave you feeling helpless or worried about the future. What if you could also reverse the effects of early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?

Dementia Treatment with the ReCODE Protocol

There is hope for individuals showing early signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. The ReCODE Protocol is the only evidence-based program shown to both slow and reverse cognitive decline. Developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen at Apollo Health, ReCODE is designed for patients who show early signs of Alzheimer’s or for individuals interested in preserving their cognitive well-being. Although ReCODE has been demonstrated to help people with mid to late-stage Alzheimer’s, the Protocol is most effective when implemented during the early phases of the disease.

The ReCODE Protocol is much more than medication or psychotherapy. It involves an integrative application of the ReCODE Report, which provides a comprehensive evaluation of various factors contributing to a patient’s cognitive decline. These factors include nutrition, hormonal balance, environmental toxins, lifestyle, and more. Any combination of these factors can result in one of six subtypes that contribute to a patient’s decrease in cognitive functioning.

Based on the results of the ReCODE Report, the patient follows a treatment plan based on seven strategies to optimize their brain health:

• Nutrition. KetoFLEX diet primarily plant-based, organic, and limited in starch
• Exercise. Limiting sedentary behavior and increasing walking and strength training
• Sleep. 7-8 hours of quality, restorative sleep each night
• Stress. Stress management through mindfulness, meditation, and other techniques
• Brain stimulation. “Upsizing” the brain with learning opportunities and activities that are fun and challenging
• Detoxification. Eliminating toxins from food, water, air, and the environment that could impair cognition
• Supplementation. Adding essential vitamins and minerals to make up for nutritional deficiencies, and incorporating herbal medicines that encourage the growth of new brain cells and brain connections

Early Reversal of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Symptoms

Many people occasionally worry about developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. If you think you or someone you love is showing early signs, seek medical attention as soon as possible to enhance treatment outcomes. The first step in identifying and reversing early Alzheimer’s disease is to know the status of your cognitive health, and ReCODE can help with that.

Dr. Blatman, board-certified in integrative and holistic medicine and occupational and environmental medicine, is trained and qualified to administer the ReCODE Protocol. Whether you show early Alzheimer’s symptoms or want to preserve your brain health, you can take proactive steps now.
