FOUNDATIONS OF COGNITIVE HEALTH
Two pathways designed to prevent and reverse cognitive decline using personalized lifestyle medicine for sustainable, effective change.
THREE-MONTH PREVENTION PATHWAY
SIX-MONTH INTENSIVE PATHWAY
The fear of Alzheimer’s is real.
Modern research has changed the picture.
You may have watched someone you love change in slow, painful ways — first the small slips, then the larger losses…
This does not have to be your story.
Cognitive decline is not inevitable. Current evidence from sources like the Lancet Commission suggest that up to ~45% of dementia cases might be preventable through comprehensive risk‑factor modification.
Brain changes take place over a 10-20 year period which is why early action matters — and prevention is more powerful when you identify risk patterns before symptoms become entrenched.
A ROOT-CAUSE APPROACH TO BRAIN HEALTH
Foundations is built around the revolutionary research of Dr. Dale Bredesen whose PreCODE / ReCODE protocols approach cognitive decline as a multifactorial process influenced by metabolism, inflammation, sleep, toxins exposures, stress, exercise, cardiovascular health, nutrition, and more.
Instead of focusing on symptoms alone or a one-size fits all treatment, Foundations of Cognitive Health integrates evidence-based dietary and lifestyle interventions with Āyurveda and precision medicine to identify the factors that may be affecting your brain health and give you personalized support.

HOW IT WORKS
Precision Medicine and Personalized Protocol
Laboratory Testing*—Identify the factors that may be contributing to cognitive risk and create a framework for tracking progress over time
Root-Cause Education—A practical look at the science behind cognitive decline: metabolic dysfunction, genetics, cardiovascular disease, gut health, toxic exposures, sleep architecture, chronic stress and trauma, oral health, and more
Real-Life Application—Nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, brain training, detoxification, targeted supplementation integrated with Āyurvedic daily and seasonal routines
One-to-One Consultations & Health Coaching—Support to make the protocol sustainable in your daily life
Thriving Mind Community- Access to live classes and events in Doctor Blossom's integrative Ayurveda community
*Lab tests and the Apollo subscription are required, priced separately from the program.
THE SCALE OF THE CHALLENGE
Today, 7.4 million Americans age 65+ are living with Alzheimer’s dementia—approximately 1 in 9. Nearly two-thirds are women.
At age 45, lifetime risk is estimated at approximately 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men.
By 2050, nearly 13 million Americans could be living with Alzheimer’s dementia if effective treatment and prevention do not significantly change its trajectory.

THE INVESTMENT
The financial burden of Alzheimer's disease often falls heavily on families and caregivers, not to mention the emotional toll on your quality of life and your family’s well-being.
The total lifetime cost of care for a patient with dementia is estimated at $412,936 in 2022 dollars, with 70% of those costs borne by the family caregivers…
Early detection and a comprehensive prevention protocol like ReCODE address nearly all the factors contributing to cognitive impairment for just 1% of that cost.

Your Questions, Answered
-
Our signature program is a comprehensive process for determining your unique pathway to optimal cognitive health. Based on the revolutionary PreCODE and ReCODE Protocol for preventing and reversing cognitive decline, Foundations integrates the principles and practices of Precision Medicine, Āyurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, into a scientifically validated protocol.
-
This program is for those who are concerned about memory loss, are experiencing signs of cognitive decline, and for those who want to take proactive steps to protect their brain health.
-
If you haven’t already, you’ll undergo a suite of lab tests necessary to create your PreCODE/ReCODE report. If you choose to use another route of testing, we will provide a list of the needed tests. This allows us to create a customized plan to optimize your brain function and prevent cognitive decline. We’re here to help you determine when and how to get your testing done.
-
Expect to spend about 2 hours per week on the core activities. The program is structured so that you can make consistent progress without feeling overwhelmed.
-
After you apply, we’ll guide you toward the track that best fits your current goals and level of support needed. From there, you’ll schedule a discovery call to discuss your questions, and next steps.
Once enrolled, you’ll complete your intake paperwork, receive your recommended lab testing, and get set up inside Thriving Mind, our online community and educational platform.
Your program begins with a comprehensive 90-minute consultation, where we review your history, goals, lifestyle, and initial recommendations. From there, each month includes:
Personalized 1:1 consultations and health coaching
Educational resources paced to your stage
Weekly live Question & Reflection calls
Community support and access to live events and education inside Thriving Mind
-
Dr. Bredesen regularly emphasizes that improvement is closely tied to how closely a person is able to adhere to the protocol. Expect to see improvements in areas such as metabolic health, focus and concentration, learning abilities, memory, sleep, fitness, stress resilience, oral health and inflammation markers. In one study of adults using the ReCODE program, participants experienced an average four-point drop in PHQ-9 depression scores. ReCODE is not a treatment for depression so this data reflected a secondary effect of their participation.
-
We strongly encourage everyone to get support from a trusted friend, family member, or a fellow Foundations community member. We set clear guidelines and agreements for the work we do as a community to create a safe and productive space.
-
We offer rolling admission based on available space. if the program is full, we will notify you when new spots open.

Most treatments for cognitive decline focus on Stage 4: Alzheimer’s Disease, when the brain has already sustained extensive damage. Often these options are limited primarily to drug therapies which can slow but do not cure the Alzheimer’s. This program is different because it is founded on the groundbreaking PreCODE/ReCODE Protocol with expert guidance from Scott Blossom L.Ac. (25+ years of clinical practice in Āyurveda & Traditional Chinese Medicine) to address the root causes of cognitive decline.

About Scott Blossom
TCM, Āyurveda, Yoga, and ReCODE Practitioner
Scott’s personal journey into brain health was inspired by the loss of his mother to Alzheimer’s in 2020. What started as subtle changes in her decision-making and organization eventually led to a diagnosis of Ophthalmic Alzheimer’s. He and his twin brother cared for her at home, witnessing firsthand the emotional, physical, and financial toll of the disease.This deeply personal experience led him to explore not only the scientific causes of cognitive decline but also holistic ways to prevent and reverse its effects.
Scott has integrated Traditional Chinese (TCM), Āyurveda, Yoga somatics, and evidence-based nutrition into his clinical practice and educational offerings for more than 25 years. Experience has taught him that the one secret to health is not a what, not a product or a specific practice, but how to adapt whatever you are doing so it remains potent and agile through the days and seasons of your life.
With nearly three decades of experience in holistic health, Scott’s love has always been integrative health care. He is very grateful to Dr. Bredesen and the Apollo Health organization for the ReCODE Practitioner Training he received, and the opportunity to focus his work on cognitive health. Scott is also certified to administer the MoCA cognitive assessment.
