In the last several videos, we’ve been talking about Dr. Bredesen’s first book, published in 2017, that had served as the first playbook for my dad: The End of Alzheimer’s: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline. We’ve specifically been talking about the ReCODE Protocol, which he details in the book.
ReCODE for Reversal of Cognitive Decline, which is a personalized protocol that addresses multiple factors contributing to someone’s cognitive issues, bringing them back to optimal ranges and helping patients reverse disease and symptoms. Dr. Bredesen’s team has helped hundreds of people reverse their cognitive decline, established mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease with this protocol, as evidenced in successful studies in 2014, 2018, 2022 and current clinical trials.
ReCODE is a personalized program that is tailored to how every patient tests on individualized evaluations. In past videos we’ve talked about how the first testing phase to screen for all of the risk factors that contribute to cognitive health and decline is what Dr. Bredesen calls the Cognoscopy.
The key at this stage is to gather as much data as we can to get the clearest picture of where we stand with these markers. And, in the last video, we went over the 10 key lab tests to prioritize that are covered by most health insurance plans. And out of these 10, the top 2 that Dr. Bredesen would want us to keep a steady gauge on. These two are:
Fasting Glucose
And
Hemoglobin A1c
Now, we’re going to add in a third that may not typically be covered by insurance, but complements these first two. It’s typically about another $30 out of pocket when requested but well worth the investment. This third lab is:
Fasting Insulin
So:
Fasting Glucose or blood sugar has long been a risk factor for Diabetes. Bredesen’s team has found that the optimal testing range for patients’ improvement on the protocol is between 70-90.
Hemoglobin A1c, as a measure of your average blood sugar over the last 3 months, has commonly been the key marker to diagnose pre-diabetes and diabetes. Bredesen’s optimal testing range for A1c is 5.6 or below.
Fasting Insulin is a very important, but often overlooked, test that can tell us a lot about our metabolic health. This is because, when we start to develop metabolic dysfunction, our fasting insulin will start to rise before our blood sugar and A1c will, so it can sound the alarm a lot sooner and alert us to the fact that we need to start making some changes. Bredesen’s team has seen the best results when patients get their Fasting Insulin to 4.5 or below.
These 3 markers, together, give is a real clear picture of not only our blood sugar control, but our overall metabolic health. Even if pre-diabetes or diabetes has not been diagnosed, when these markers are outside these optimal ranges, it typically points to the state that precedes them, which is Insulin Resistance. For optimal cognitive health and function, we’re going to want the opposite of that, we’re going to want Insulin Sensitivity.
Dr. Bredesen has seen that reversing insulin resistance and restoring insulin sensitivity made the biggest difference in preventing and, especially, accelerating the course of reversing cognitive decline.
But, what is Insulin Resistance?...
Hope this is helpful for you and your family. Thank you for watching!
