ReCODE and PreCODE Information
Apollo Health, founded by Dr. Dale Bredesen, offers the ReCODE (Reversal of Cognitive Decline) and PreCODE programs, which are designed to optimize brain health and address cognitive decline. Our practitioners, with over 30 years of combined experience in functional medicine, are now certified in both of these programs. The programs comprehensive and personalized approach focuses on targeting the root causes of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.
My experience with Alzheimers...
Dr. Nakisbendi experienced the loss of her mother due to the complications of Alzheimer’s. Her personal journey has made her tenacious, taking the deepest dives into her patient’s histories in the hopes of reversing cognitive decline. She became a ReCODE Certified Practitioner because ReCODE incorporates all her current treatment approaches into a sophisticated platform that provides cutting edge education with biometric and cognitive assessments. Due to her experience in treating complex chronic illnesses, Dr. Nakisbendi is able to implement the majority of the Bredesen Protocol from within her own practice.
Which program is right for me?
PreCODE
ReCODE
The PreCODE program is designed as a proactive program for individuals who want to prevent cognitive decline and optimize their brain health. It focuses on identifying and addressing specific risk factors through personalized interventions, including diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and cognitive training. This program is ideal for those who:
​
-
are asymptomatic and interested in preventing cognitive decline
-
have a family history of dementia or Alzheimers with risk factors such as pre-diabetes or inflammation
-
and anyone 45 years or older
The ReCODE program, on the other hand, is designed for individuals who are already experiencing cognitive decline or have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. It aims to reverse cognitive decline through a personalized protocol that includes targeted interventions to address metabolic, hormonal, nutritional, and lifestyle factors contributing to cognitive decline. This program is ideal for those who:
​
-
are currently experiencing cognitive decline
-
have been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimers
Why choose to work with our team?
The NakisbendiMD Difference
Unlike many ReCODE and PreCODE practices, our program is structured to provide truly comprehensive care. In addition to cognitive wellness services, we offer primary care support, allowing patients to feel confident that their overall health is being managed in an integrated and coordinated manner.
​
A distinguishing feature of our program is the inclusion of a dedicated nurse as part of your care team. Nurse Avery works closely with patients throughout the program—coordinating testing, providing education on protocols, and offering ongoing guidance and support to ensure successful implementation and optimal outcomes.
Our individualized approach.
Our approach to addressing cognitive decline is not one-size-fits-all. Each protocol and treatment plan is carefully tailored to the individual, reflecting our commitment to highly personalized, precision-based care.
​
Every treatment plan is thoughtfully designed to align with a patient’s unique health goals, lifestyle, and clinical profile. This individualized strategy ensures that each patient receives comprehensive, targeted support throughout their journey toward optimal cognitive health and overall well-being.
