Brain Training: The ReCODE Protocol for Reversing Alzheimer’s X, Ep. 032
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.
In the last several episodes we’ve been talking about Diet, Exercise, Sleep, Stress Reduction, Resolving Inflammation, Healing the Gut, Optimizing Hormones, Mineral Status and Eliminating Toxins as core components of the Protocol.
Building off of these, next up is Brain Training.
Many companies provide online brain training including Posit Science, Lumosity, Dakim, and Cogstate among others. They’re usually computer-based games aimed to challenge the brain and thus improve cognitive function. Just like we exercise and train our muscles to get stronger and fitter, these brain training programs aim to strengthen the muscle right between our ears. But do they work?
What these brain training programs are targeting is the stimulation of an ability the brain has called Neuroplasticity.
What is Neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is the ability for neural networks in the brain and nervous system to change, adapt, grow and reorganize themselves - the ability for the brain to rewire itself from how it previously functioned, and thus become stronger and more resilient.
We all have the ability to make our brains more “plastic” as neuroscientists call it – the ability to make it more flexible and resilient. We’ve seen cases of people making remarkable recoveries from strokes and traumatic brain injuries where a lot of brain tissue has become damaged or died off, yet they make full recoveries because the neurons remaining reorganize themselves to take on the responsibilities the complete brain once had. Just like this power of neuroplasticity can be used to come back from injury or disease, it can also be harnessed to proactively strengthen and shield itself from these types of threats. Some great examples of brain exercises that stimulate neuroplasticity are:
• Playing an instrument and making music
• Dancing
• Learning a new language
• Making art
• Exercising
• Meditating
• Gardening
• Crafting and building things
• Taking on projects that challenge ourselves and push us outside our comfort zones
• And Brain Training games
Hope this is helpful for you and your family. Thank you for watching!
