Meet the Founder:
Scott Blossom
TCM, Āyurveda, Yoga, and ReCODE practitioner
Nearly Three Decades of Experience
Scott has integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (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 learning how to adapt whatever you are doing so you remain potent and agile through the seasons of your life.
Renowned Mentors and Teachers
Scott’s journey into integrative medicine has been shaped by renowned mentors and extensive training. He earned his Biology degree from UC Santa Cruz in 1993 and has been a Licensed Acupuncturist since 1998.
Over the past two decades, Scott has:
Been in clinical practice for 25+ years.
Worked alongside Dr. Robert Svoboda, a globally respected Āyurveda physician, author, and scholar.
Studied hatha yoga with master Shandor Remete (Sundernath).
Pioneered yoga-based wellness classes and acupuncture at the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara and Hospice of Santa Barbara in 1996.
Shared his knowledge as a faculty member at the Kripalu School of Āyurveda since 2008.
Cutting-Edge Research and Evidence-Based Protocols
Scott is trained in Dr. Dale Bredesen’s ReCODE Protocol, a groundbreaking program that has demonstrated measurable cognitive improvements or stabilization in 74% of participants in clinical trials. Dr. Bredesen, a globally recognized Alzheimer’s expert and author of the best-selling The End of Alzheimer’s, has developed a precision medicine approach that combines lifestyle changes and targeted interventions to address the root causes of cognitive decline.
Scott is also a certified rater of MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment or The MoCA Test), a highly sensitive tool for early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Scott’s Personal Journey with his Mom’s Ophthalmic Alzheimer’s
Scott’s personal journey into brain health was inspired by the loss of his mother to Alzheimer’s in 2020. What began as subtle changes in her decision-making and organization eventually led to a diagnosis of Ophthalmic Alzheimer’s. Caring for her at home with his twin brother, Scott witnessed firsthand the emotional, physical, and financial toll of the disease. This deeply personal experience inspired him to explore not only the scientific causes of cognitive decline but also holistic ways to prevent and reverse its effects.
The Big “Why”
Doctor Blossom’s mission is to contribute to the evolution of modern medicine by integrating cognitive science and traditional medical systems.
Community medicine is the future. We see ourselves as part of a regenerative revolution for individuals, our society, and our broken medical system.
Our commitment extends beyond cognitive health to include the concept of sacred reciprocity and social responsibility. This involves working to become an ally in social, sexual, and gender justice—recognizing that true healing requires addressing both individual and collective imbalances.
Foundations of Cognitive Health
Our signature program is a comprehensive process for determining your unique pathway to optimal cognitive health. Based on the revolutionary ReCODE Protocol for preventing and reversing cognitive decline, Foundations integrates the principles and practices of Āyurveda, TCM, and yoga into a scientifically validated dietary and lifestyle protocol, along with a combination of laboratory and cognitive testing to identify the contributors to cognitive decline or risk for decline.
