Step 1: A Comprehensive Assessment
Our year-long ReCODE and PreCODE programs begin with an assessment period, during which our clinicians will administer intake interviews, consultations, and comprehensive functional tests to determine your cognitive starting point and introduce a personalized treatment plan.
-
Step 2: Implementing a Treatment Plan
After familiarizing yourself with your unique treatment plan, for the next three to six months, our clinicians will meet with you regularly to discuss progress, answer questions, and continue to tailor diet, lifestyle, and other targets to achieve optimal results.
-
Step 3: Achieve Results
During the following six months of the program, you and your clinician will continue to work closely together to help you reach your desired goals. At the end of the program, we will retest and review the progress achieved in reversing your symptoms, to highlight your progress.

Bruce Alan Kehr, M.D., brings significant experience and expertise in geriatric psychiatry, underscored by his prior role as Medical Director of a Geriatric Psychiatry Unit at an affiliate of Tufts New England Medical Center. Dr. Kehr is renowned for his advanced training in IntellxxDNA genetic testing, a cutting-edge tool that identifies numerous genetic variations contributing to cognitive decline. This innovative approach enables the implementation of gene-based supplements and nutritional interventions tailored to individual needs. His passion for uncovering and understanding the latest scientific principles underlying brain health and mental functioning has led him to blog extensively on the root causes of brain health and cognitive impairment, sharing valuable insights and advancing the conversation in this critical area of medicine. Dr. Kehr is also the co-author of "Enduring Alzheimer’s: Practical Tips for Caring for Your Loved One and Yourself," a testament to his commitment to supporting patients and families navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.

Julie Wendt, MS, LN, CNS was a pioneer in becoming certified in the Bredesen Protocol, as she was part of the initial ReCODE training programs in 2018 and has integrated the concepts of ReCODE into her integrative nutrition practice (and her life) ever since. Her interest in cognitive decline began when she was a teenager and witnessed her grandfather falling victim to Alzheimer’s disease. After living through that experience, the Bredesen Protocol has filled her with renewed hope and enthusiasm that she can help others avoid the decline she witnessed in her grandfather.
