Here at Apostol IFM, our focus on functional medicine allows us to set ourselves apart in the world of Alzheimer’s treatment. In its simplest terms, functional medicine approaches a disease holistically with the ultimate goal of discovering the root cause of a disease. We take a holistic approach to medicine because we recognize the natural relationship between body parts. As opposed to conventional medicine — which compartmentalizes symptoms and areas of the body — functional medicine focuses on your entire body, analyzes lifestyle choices and genetic factors, and creates individualized plans for each patient.

DR. DALE BREDESEN AND THE RECODE PROTOCOL

As an internationally recognized expert in neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Dale Bredesen has established himself as one of the leading minds in Alzheimer's disease research, and we are proud to work hand-in-hand with him in the fight against Alzheimer’s. Known for his New York Time’s Best-Seller, The End of Alzheimer’s, which lays out his groundbreaking, functional-medicine approach to Alzheimer’s research, Dr. Bredesen’s efforts have always focused on not just treating the disease, but preventing and reversing it.

Here at Apostol IFM, we have earned the endorsement of Dr. Dale Bredesen and implement his practices of functional medicine in relation to Alzheimer's disease. This holistic approach to treatment has been adopted by professionals nationwide and is proven to enhance cognition and reverse the decline.

Treatment

Throughout his magnificent research, Dr. Bredesen makes it clear that Alzheimer’s does not result from a singular cause, but rather a cluster of causes that combine to affect the function of proteins within the brain. As such, it cannot be treated by a singular, universal drug.

However, by identifying some of the causes of those protein imbalances, practitioners of the Bredesen Protocol can work with patients to customize plans that are individualized for them. These causes can include infections, metabolic abnormalities, exposure to toxins, reduced hormones, and much more. While the bad news is that there are potentially dozens of contributing factors, nearly all of them are identifiable and treatable.

While there are no two treatment plans that are identical to one another, they follow these similar guidelines:
