A research-based approach to addressing cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease:

​

Cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease have long been considered irreversible. Dr. Dale Bredesen's research challenges that assumption. After decades of laboratory work, he developed the ReCODE Protocol — a comprehensive, multi-factorial approach that addresses up to 36 metabolic and lifestyle factors associated with cognitive decline. Rather than managing symptoms, the protocol investigates and addresses underlying contributors.

This protocol is designed for patients experiencing cognitive symptoms, early memory loss, or a family history of Alzheimer's who want a systematic, research-based approach.

​

Dr. Vukelic is certified in the Bredesen Protocol and has experience working with patients across all Bredesen subtypes. You do not need to have mold illness to work with her using this protocol.

​

Results vary significantly from patient to patient and depend on many factors, including the subtype, severity, and how early treatment begins.

​

Understanding the subtypes

​

One of Dr. Bredesen's key insights is that Alzheimer's disease is not one condition — it has multiple subtypes, each with different drivers and treatment approaches:

​

• Type 1 — Inflammatory

• Type 1.5 — Glucose intolerant

• Type 2 — Atrophic (lacking essential vitamins and hormones)

• Type 3 — Toxic (mold exposure, heavy metals, or other environmental toxins)

• Type 4 — Vascular (strokes and transient ischemic attacks)

• Type 5 — Traumatic (concussions and traumatic brain injuries)

​

Dr. Vukelic's combined expertise in the Bredesen Protocol and environmental medicine comes together here — few physicians are trained in both.

What some patients have experienced

In their own words, shared with permission.

​

"Her guidance has helped me get from a CNS Vital Signs score of 63 to my current 88. In addition to my brain feeling clearer, my leaky gut is slowly healing and I have more energy." — Retired patient, Type 3 Toxic Alzheimer's

​

"In early 2021, I was diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech and Primary Progressive Aphasia. My neurologist offered no hope, no treatment, no cure. Working with Dr. Vukelic and following the ReCODE Protocol, my CNS Vital Signs went from 68 to 84, and my neurologist told me there was no appreciable deterioration in the last 18 months." — Retired patient, Type 3 Toxic Alzheimer's

How to get started

​

The Bredesen Protocol uses proprietary software that Dr. Vukelic can only access through Apollo Health. To work with her, enroll directly through Apollo Health and select Dr. Vukelic as your ReCODE physician. This is the only way to access the protocol's software and pricing.
