Questions you may be wondering

You’re a patient: You’ve been recently diagnosed with dementia and been told there’s little you can do to prevent your inevitable decline.
You’re a helper: You're a caregiver for someone with dementia and want to do everything you can to help to slow its progression.
You’re overwhelmed: You’ve likely heard about the Bredesen approach, but the information and care is overwhelming.
You’re related: You’re genetically related to someone with dementia and want to proactively manage your health now.

Genes can put us at risk for dementia, however they do not determine our fate. The diet and lifestyle changes taught in this course are based on the best current science to reduce your genetic risk. Those with ApoE 4 genetics can have up to a 1 in 2 chance of developing Alzheimer’s. Our goal is for you to have all the information available to keep you in the 50 percentile who never experiences cognitive decline.

The course is made up of 11 modules, each with a series of 5-10 minute videos. The entire course is under eight hours, and you can complete it at your own pace. Plus, you have lifetime access to the material. As dementia care research and resources develop, we will continuously update this course.

At our Marama facility, we strictly adhere to the Bredesen protocol to maximize each patient’s success.

We do recognize, however, that following some, but not all, guidelines of the approach can still improve the quality of life of those with dementia. We have the most confidence when a person is in an earlier stage of the disease progression and adheres to the recommendations as comprehensively as possible.

We see evidence of the success of our approach all the time. In a 2021 proof-of-concept trial with 25 participants aged 50 to 76, researchers found that 21 improved (84%), one showed no change (4%), and three declined (12%).

The report concluded that a larger, randomized controlled trial is warranted, and this follow-up study is already in the works. Click here to read more about the Bredesen protocol research.
