Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline, has opened my eyes to the reality of 20th Century medicine. The "monotherapeutic" approach (one magic pill to cure any condition) is no longer working... especially in the case of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease. Big Pharma has literally conducted hundreds of clinical trials and spent BILLIONS of dollars to make a magic pill for Alzheimer's.The only "successes" have little symptomatic effect and very little or NO effect on disease progression! 

That is what intrigued me about his new approach. The current medical perception of how to cure AD and other neurodegenerative diseases is slowly starting to change thanks to Dr Bredesen's work. He has identified over 40 factors that can lead to cognitive decline. While it was once believed the culprit was the amyloid plaquing that was found in patients suffering with Alzheimer's, Dr Bredesen has a novel perspective. His research has shown that the plaquing is actually the brain's way of protecting the body against the 40 factors I will be discussing over the next several shows. The "American Diet" is slowly turning our population into mindless zombies. It has lead to chronic inflammation, an overprescribing of toxic drugs such as statins and blood pressure meds, and sleep apnea that often goes undiagnosed. 

As an "alternative health" professional, my purpose for this podcast is to summarize Dr Bredesen's findings and guide our suffering population to the proper health coaches, alert them to the nutritional danger signs and reveal the genetic tests that can help turn around the sinking ship of monotherapeutics. As a former professional athlete, I also realized the connection of Dr Bredesen's findings to the long term effects of concussions and CTE.

Please share with loved ones.

You have seen your loved one, or friends, suffer with Alzheimer's as the progress through "the slow goodbye", so why would you want to know if you carry the genetic marker? You can't do anything about it...can you? This attitude, while understandable, is no longer valid. Statistically, yes, if you carry the ApoE4 marker you are at higher risk. But don't give up! Those without the marker still have a 9% risk of contracting the disease. If one parent carries the gene, you have a 30% of being infected and if both carry it, you jump to a 90% chance! While current monotherapies for AD have proven woefully inadequate, new, cutting edge approaches that work WITH your body's ability to heal itself are coming to light. 

Cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's, Dementia and the long term effects of concussions has been believed to be irreversible, until now! Over 35 indicators have been identified by Dr. Dale Bredesen, Professor and Founding President of the Buck Institute, UCLA. In this episode of Brain Builders, we will discuss the list of indicators that can be used to monitor your risk for long term cognitive decline and what you can do about them. The days of giving in to "the slow goodbye" are OVER! Patients that identified their specific indicators, and following the reCODE protocols are reversing their syptoms TODAY! Stay tuned for more details as we discuss the exciting new protocols that are giving hope to Americans every single day.

Have you, or a loved one, had a concussion? How would you know for sure? In this episode of Brain Builders we discuss the symptoms to look out for and what to do about them. Some of the symptoms include:
Headache or "pressure" in the headNausea or vomitingBalance problems or dizzinessDouble or blurry visionSensitivity to lightSensitivity to noiseFeeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggyConcentration or memory problemsConfusionJust not "feeling right" or "feeling down"
Today we discuss the biological changes that occur in the brain after head trauma and how it can lead to long-term cognitive effects later in life. We cover specfic nutritional changes and other holistic approaches that can help speed recovery and even protect the brain from further damage.

Please share with someone you love.

In today's episode of Brain Builders we discuss the specfic lab tests that need to be done to reveal what may be causing your cognitive symptoms and how to go about getting them done. We also cover the goal numbers you need to have in all these areas. Further episodes will cover each individual test/indicator and uncover the cause and what you can do about it. Do not give up hope! These indicators have been proven in Dr Bredesen's practice time and time again. The current medical model has to stop looking for a magic pill to fix this problem. It is much too complicated for that. They have already spent billions of dollars and have failed to find a solution for decades. Working with your body's natural ability to heal itself is key to getting your mind and your life back.

So we've covered the 40+ lifetime risk factors for cognitive decline, discussed the lab tests you need to see what specific trophic factors you may be lacking in... NOW WHAT?


As Dr Bredesen points out, this is a complicated condition that has over 40 factors that can effect cognitive function. Rest assured, you don't have to solve all 40 to see improvement! He discusses something called a "threshold point" where enough of the factors are addressed to begin the healing process. Some of the solutions are more complicated than others depending on your individual conditions. Diabetes, Heart Disease, Sleep Apnea and menopause are just a few of these complicatations but we will also cover the specifics of how to heal the brain even if you have them as well.


This episode will cover a few, all encompassing changes that can help most people with a risk of cognitive decline.
