Alzheimer’s

re health logo

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE IS A PROGRESSIVE CONDITION THAT AFFECTS MEMORY, THINKING, AND OVERALL BRAIN FUNCTION.

Older couple

Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia, affects over 55 million people worldwide, with numbers expected to rise as the population ages. Cognitive decline, while less severe, includes subtle difficulties with memory, attention, and problem-solving that may precede or exist independently of dementia.

The causes of Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline are multifactorial, involving genetics, inflammation, vascular health, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental factors. With a focus on prevention and reversal, we utilise cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches to optimise brain health and preserve cognitive function.

Symptoms

DIFFICULTY REMEMBERING RECENT EVENTS OR INFORMATION

TROUBLE CONCENTRATING OR SOLVING PROBLEMS

CONFUSION OR DISORIENTATION

CHANGES IN MOOD, PERSONALITY, OR BEHAVIOUR

DIFFICULTY COMPLETING FAMILIAR TASKS OR FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS

CHALLENGES WITH VISUAL-SPATIAL AWARENESS

The conventional approach

Conventional treatments for Alzheimer’s focus on symptom management through medications such as cholinesterase inhibitors or NMDA receptor antagonists. While these treatments may provide temporary relief, they do not address the underlying drivers of cognitive decline. Early detection and a comprehensive approach targeting root causes are essential for prevention and reversal.

Our approach

We take a personalised and integrative approach to Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline, grounded in Dr. Dale Bredesen’s ReCode (Alzheimer’s Reversal) and PreCode (Prevention) protocols, as well as our own Brain Optimisation Programme. Our goal is to identify and address the specific contributors to cognitive decline for each individual. Key elements of our approach include:

BALANCING HORMONES

Addressing thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormone imbalances, which are critical for cognitive health

GUT BRAIN AXIS

Identifying and addressing gut health issues that impact inflammation, detoxification, and neurotransmitter production

REVERSING COGNITIVE DECLINE

Using Dr. Bredesen’s precision medicine protocol, which identifies and addresses multiple subtypes of Alzheimer’s, including inflammatory, toxic, vascular, and hormonal contributors.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT

Optimising nutrient levels, including omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants, which are critical for brain function

SUPPORTING ENERGY PRODUCTION

Enhancing mitochondrial function to improve brain energy and resilience

REDUCING INFLAMMATION & OXIDATIVE STRESS

Using targeted nutrition and supplementation to manage systemic inflammation, a major driver of cognitive decline

DETOXIFICATION SUPPORT

Investigating and addressing environmental toxins, heavy metals, and mould exposure, which can contribute to cognitive impairment

GENETIC INSIGHTS

Using genetic testing (e.g., APOE status and other SNPs) to guide personalised prevention and intervention strategies

PERSONALISED LIFESTYLE STRATEGIES

Including exercise, sleep optimisation, and stress management, all of which are critical for long-term brain health

BRAIN OPTIMISATION PROGRAMME

For those without cognitive decline, we offer a proactive, evidence-based programme designed to enhance memory, focus, and mental clarity through targeted strategies that build on the latest research in neuroscience

By addressing the root causes of cognitive decline and empowering individuals with a comprehensive, personalised plan, we aim to support brain health, improve cognitive function, and optimise quality of life.
