Recovery From Alzheimer’s is Now Possible
The Bredesen Protocol. The clinically proven program to optimise cognition and reverse dementia.
US neurologist, Dr Dale Bredesen and his research team have shown in clinical trials that reversal of cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s is now possible using the ReCODE program.
The Bredesen Protocol is available in Australia only through ReCODE 2.0 accredited doctors and health coaches.
WHAT WE DO
THE BREDESEN PROTOCOL
A PRECISION MEDICINE APPROACH FOR PREVENTION AND REVERSAL OF COGNITIVE DECLINE
Prevention of Alzheimer's
Prevention is always better than cure. Alzheimer’s starts decades before symptoms appear. The PreCODE program is designed for those who are asymptomatic and wish to optimise their brain health and prevent Alzheimer’s. Especially suited for those with a family history of dementia or risk factors such as pre-diabetes.
Reversal of Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI)
If you are noticing something just doesn’t feel right, it may be SCI. Perhaps you are experiencing ‘senior moments’ or just not feeling as mentally sharp as you used to. It may be SCI. You can still function quite well and others don’t notice anything, but you are concerned. The ReCODE program can help.
Reversal of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
MCI is the next stage leading to Alzheimers. Others now notice something is wrong. MCI starts to impact day to day life. Things happen like becoming lost on familiar roads, forgetting people’s names, and struggling to find words. It could be called pre-Alzheimer’s and it’s harder to reverse if it’s ignored. The ReCODE program can help.

ABOUT OUR STYLE
What is the Bredesen Protocol & Who is Alzheimers Recovery AU?
The Bredesen Protocol is a groundbreaking approach to improving brain health. Instead of focusing on just one factor, this protocol tackles over 30 different causes of Alzheimer’s Disease. It’s a personalized, science-based plan that looks at your genetics, exposure to toxins, inflammation, stress, exercise, diet, sleep, and many other factors. By addressing all of these, the Bredesen Protocol helps to reverse cognitive decline.
Alzheimer’s Recovery AU is proud to be the first coaching practice in Australia to achieve ReCODE 2.0 accreditation from Dr. Bredesen’s Apollo Health in the US. We offer the PreCODE program for prevention and, working alongside a ReCODE 2.0 accredited doctor, we deliver the ReCODE program to help reverse cognitive decline.

Got questions?
What are your service fees, how many coaching sessions will I need and how does the process work?
Each person who joins the Bredesen Protocol has a unique situation, so the amount of help and support you’ll need will depend on several factors. These include things like how much support you have at home, how far along the cognitive decline or Alzheimer’s is, and which of the 6 sub-types of Alzheimer’s you have. Other health conditions you may have can also affect how much support is needed.
Because Alzheimer’s develops over many years, anyone following the Bredesen Protocol for reversing cognitive decline (called the ReCODE program) should be ready to commit to the program for 12 months. It’s a long-term approach that may involve some major lifestyle changes, which can be challenging at first, but it’s designed to address the many factors that contribute to Alzheimer’s. The protocol focuses on 7 key areas: nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, brain stimulation, detoxification, and supplements.
We work to empower our clients to take control of their health so they don’t rely on a coach forever. At first, the coaching may be more intense, but as you build new habits and start seeing improvements, the need for coaching will decrease.
We offer a ‘One-stop shop’ service, connecting you with all the healthcare providers you need.
Here’s how the process works:
Step 1: Initial Cognitive Assessment & Free Consultation
Your journey starts with an optional, short cognitive assessment, developed by Dr. Bredesen. If you would like to do the assessment, scroll down to the bottom of this page and click the button that says “Take a free 15 minute test to assess your cognition”
After completing the assessment, (if you chose to do it) you can book a free, 20-minute consultation by phone or video call. This session is a no-obligation opportunity to discuss your situation and see if the Bredesen Protocol is the right fit. Both you and our team can decide whether to move forward.
Following this consultation, you’ll receive a personalized Bredesen Protocol proposal that outlines the estimated costs and steps involved, along with references to the scientific evidence supporting the protocol. You can easily book the optional cognitive assessment and free session by clicking the ‘Let’s Discuss Your Situation’ links on our website.
Step 2: Optional Comprehensive Follow-up Consultation
The second step is an optional comprehensive 60-minute consultation, usually done by video. This session costs $95.00 and allows you and your family to ask any questions after reviewing the proposal. We’ll discuss:
- Support and care availability
- Previous diagnoses and test results
- Current state of cognition and medications
- Any other health conditions
- The participant’s level of commitment, along with their support team
- Any other relevant factors
Step 3 Following this consultation or acceptance of the proposal, a coaching agreement is offered if you wish to commence the Bredesen Protocol. Our coaching programs are always pay as you go and you are not locked into any contract.
We can suggest suitable health professionals to oversee the program and usually, the protocol can start off with your family doctor having oversight.
We currently work with a number of ReCODE accredited doctors in Australia and the USA and can advise on which one would be best matched to a participant and include an estimate of the doctor’s costs. Depending on the complexity of the participant’s health condition, we may arrange for other health practitioners such as a nutritionist, exercise physiologist or a therapist to help with stress management to be included. The proposal will include an estimate of costs for everyone involved. However, the nature of health care is that it can be unpredictable and the costed estimate is just an estimate based on information known and experience. As the protocol is implemented, things can change and a plan will often need to be updated.
Why do most mainstream doctors say there's nothing that can be done for Alzheimer's?
Most doctors are still trained to believe that Alzheimer’s is an incurable, progressive condition with no effective treatment. Their usual advice is to plan for the future and prepare for the disease to get worse. The only drugs they offer can, at best, slightly slow down the decline, but they don’t offer any hope for recovery and only treat the symptoms. Dr. Bredesen refers to this as 20th-century medicine, which worked well for simpler health issues. Unfortunately, medicine changes very slowly, and it often takes decades for new treatments to become widely accepted. The good news is that more and more doctors are starting to recognize the benefits of newer approaches like the Bredesen Protocol.
The Bredesen Protocol uses a completely different approach. Dr. Bredesen calls it 21st-century medicine, which focuses on treating the root causes of Alzheimer’s instead of just managing symptoms with drugs. This is known as Functional Medicine. Doctors trained in Functional Medicine have learned to dig deeper and address the underlying causes of conditions, not just treat the symptoms.
Dr. Dale Bredesen’s research has identified over 30 factors that can contribute to Alzheimer’s. Because these factors vary from person to person, the protocol is very detailed and personalized. No single drug can target all of these factors at once, which is why so many drug trials have failed—they only focus on one thing, like plaque in the brain. Unfortunately, this is also why some of Dr. Bredesen’s trial applications have been refused—traditional trials prefer to test one factor at a time, but Alzheimer’s is far more complex than that.
I’m interested but would like more information before making a decision. How can I learn more?
Book a free, no-obligation, 20-minute phone or video call with us to discuss your unique situation. During this call, we can provide links to relevant information based on your needs without overwhelming you with unnecessary details. Alzheimer’s is a complex condition with six distinct sub-types, each requiring a customized treatment approach. We understand that the Bredesen Protocol can initially feel complex and daunting, so our goal is to simplify it and clearly explain how it applies to you or your loved one.
Flexible, Pay-as-You-Go Approach: We don’t sell packages or lock you into programs. Our plans are pay-as-you-go, meaning you can change doctors, switch health coaches, or stop the program at any time without financial commitment beyond each session.
We receive no commissions or extra fees beyond our coaching charges. Any recommendations for health professionals or therapies are based solely on what we believe will best support you on your journey.
I've seen promotions for all sorts of Alzheimer's 'cures' online. Many promise results from a special food or supplement. How do I know what to believe?
It can be confusing, but we can help you sort through the options. First, it’s important to know that there’s no magic pill, food, or supplement that can improve Alzheimer’s on its own. The Bredesen Protocol has been clinically proven to work.
This approach is based on years of scientific research. Neurologist, Dr. Dale Bredesen, who developed the protocol, has over 30 years of experience and has written several books that explain how it works. Alzheimer’s is a complex condition with many underlying causes—sometimes more than 30! This is why treatments that rely on just one thing, like a single drug, supplement, or food, don’t work.
However, some of these things might still be helpful when they are used as part of the comprehensive plan that the Bredesen Protocol offers. The program uses a combination of approaches tailored to each person’s unique needs, which is why it’s showing such positive results.
