FOUNDATIONS OF COGNITIVE HEALTH

A 6-month group program designed to optimize brain health and prevent cognitive decline and early Alzheimer’s

The fear of Alzheimer’s is real, but the condition is not inevitable.

You’ve watched it unfold in someone you love: the small slips, like forgetting where the keys were or mixing up names, that turned into bigger losses, like blanking on familiar faces or forgetting how to do the things they once loved.

You remember their frustration—searching for the right word or feeling lost on a drive they once knew by heart—and the heartbreak of seeing their confidence fade into anxious fear every time they realized something was slipping away.

Maybe it was your mom calling you three times in one day asking for a reminder on how to make pasta, or your dad’s personality slowly shifting in a way that makes you both feel like strangers to each other.

And now, you’re left wondering: Am I a ticking time bomb?

The fear feels relentless, pulling you into a cycle of thoughts you can’t seem to escape: “Should I get tested?” “Do I really want to know?” All while the words from the doctor—“there’s nothing you can do”—linger, heavy and final.

But deep in your heart, a question quietly rises: Is that really true? Is there truly nothing I can do?

This doesn’t have to be your story.

New research is proving there’s another way–one where prevention is possible, and Alzheimer’s is a disease of the past.

Recode Clinical Trial Results

THE RESEARCH

A clinical trial, done by Dr. Dale Bredesen and published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, revolutionized Alzheimer’s treatment when it showed that 84% of participants demonstrated an improvement in cognitive markers.

Apollo Health Stats for ReCode Impact

For the first time in history, Alzheimer's disease can be treated through seven distinct, science-backed strategies, called The ReCODE protocol.

A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH

Since 2014, the ReCODE Protocol has offered a revolutionary approach to reversing and preventing cognitive decline. Backed by results from over 6,000 participants, this multi-faceted program has been shown to outperform traditional drug therapies.

In a 2021 study, 74% of participants with SCI, MCI, or AD stabilized or improved their cognition.

Unlike one-size-fits-all treatments, ReCODE takes a personalized, precision, root-cause approach, addressing the specific factors driving cognitive decline in each individual.

The ReCODE protocol addresses cognitive decline as a multifactorial condition influenced by genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Unlike traditional treatments that target symptoms, ReCODE seeks to identify and address the root causes of decline through personalized interventions.

This approach not only mitigates the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s but also promotes long-term brain health, offering hope where conventional treatments often fall short.

“You don’t need brain health goals.

You need a method to reach them.”

It’s not a what. It’s a how.

Identifying your health goals through research alone isn’t enough. We offer you a methodical, personalized strategy to make the protocol work in your real, everyday life. That’s where our Foundations of Cognitive Health program comes in to support you.

Scott and the Doctor Blossom team have combined Dr. Bredesen’s ReCODE protocol with 25+ years of clinical practice in Āyurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and yoga to offer you this uniquely innovative program: Foundations of Cognitive Health.

Alzheimer's is now optional.

What people say about Doctor Blossom programs

  • “It has been a long time since I have been in the presence of someone so masterful at their subject and their capacity to hold space. I was struggling with some health things [during the course], but the power of that group really held me . . . there was a real maturity there."

    Susan McNamara

  • I love that Scott really explains why we are doing what we're doing, its effects and keeping our focus contained during practice. He has a way of holding us steady, not wavering. Except with a little humor when we are suffering!

    Patricia P. Jiron

  • Scott is a master. The depth of his insight and awareness of the subtleties of the body, and his ability to convey these in a way that I can directly experience (wow!), is beyond any other teacher I've ever experienced. His relaxed, easy-going, non-dogmatic manner belies a deep mastery and rigor on the areas of study he shares. The only drawback is that he has spoiled me for working with anyone else, ha!

The 4 Stages of Cognitive Decline

Begins as early as 30 years old

  • No noticeable symptoms

  • Advanced tests can reveal early markers

  • Focus on prevention through lifestyle and addressing metabolic and toxicity factors

Pre-Symptomatic

Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI)

Often begins in midlife (40s-50s)

  • May notice subtle cognitive changes

  • Standard cognitive tests still place you as “normal”

  • This phase can last a decade

If you’re in the Pre-Symptomatic or SCI stage, Foundations is the right first step.

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

Often occurs between 50s-70s

  • May notice significant cognitive decline

  • Late stage of disease that needs urgent attention

If you’re in the MCI stage, talk to our team about whether Foundations or Foundations Advanced is right for you.

Alzheimer’s Disease

Most common in individuals 65+

  • Daily activities are impaired

  • Brain has sustained extensive damage

TCM, Āyurveda, Yoga, and ReCODE Practitioner

About Scott Blossom

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 has guided thousands of clients toward better well-being by blending the wisdom of Āyurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and yoga with modern neuroscience.

Scott has trained in Dr. Dale Bredesen’s cutting-edge ReCODE protocol, which has shown cognitive stabilization or improvements in 74% of participants in clinical trials. With the combined power of modern medicine–through lab testing, precision medicine, and recent research–and ancient, holistic modalities–Āyurveda, TCM, and Yoga, Scott is changing the narrative around what’s possible with cognitive decline.

“Having worked with Scott for more than two decades, I can say that this interest and ability to integrate conventional and traditional medicinal modalities will well serve his patients seeking to prevent or reverse cognitive decline.”

— Dr. Robert Svoboda, Āyurveda physician and Author

"As an orthodontist specializing in airway (sleep/breathing) issues I am excited to see that the ReCODE protocol links healthy breathing patterns to sleep as a pillar of their preventative framework for promoting optimal brain health. Scott’s background in biology combined with his deep expertise in yogic breathing techniques gives him a unique perspective on how to help patients benefit from improving their breathing. I look forward to seeing his work continue to evolve and collaborating with him to improved patient care.”

— Dr. Claire Ferrari, Ferrari Orthodontics

"I know Scott as a teacher and colleague. He is among the few that has dug this very deep well into a fully embodied experience of Āyurveda and yoga.

Scott has a special talent and passion for translating how modern biological and psychological health modalities can be integrated with traditional health and healing traditions such as Āyurveda and Yoga."

— Erin Casperson, Director of the Kripalu School of Āyurveda

A Note from Scott

As kids, we all learn to recognize the early signs of common illnesses—a stuffy nose or sore throat means it’s time to rest and take medicine. But with cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s Disease, the problem is insidious. You don’t feel the changes happening in your brain for 20 years or more. By the time symptoms like memory loss or confusion appear, the disease is often advanced, making treatment much more difficult—or even impossible.

You don’t have to gamble with your brain’s future. Prevention is a path of empowerment, offering you the chance to avoid the devastating impacts of cognitive decline. Join a growing community of people who are taking charge of their brain health with the ReCODE Protocol—a proven, personalized program that’s changing lives and rewriting the narrative around Alzheimer’s.  

The choice is yours: invest in prevention now, or face the far greater costs—financial, physical, and emotional—later. Start today. Your brain will thank you.

Why Foundations is Unique

  • Scott has been a leading expert in prevention for 25+ years.

  • Cohorts are kept small at only 20 people. Plus, you’ll get one-on-one support directly from Scott to go over your tests, refine your focus, and keep you on track.

  • All required bloodwork and testing is included in the pricing of the program.

  • Scott’s background in biology, Chinese Medicine, Āyurveda, and Yoga combined with his ReCODE certification weave together to power the unique blend of holistic, medically-informed, and integrative protocols and support you’ll find inside this program.

Your Questions, Answered

  • 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.

  • This program is for those who are concerned about memory loss or early signs of cognitive decline (in stages: Pre-Symptomatic, SCI, or MCI), and anyone who wants to take proactive steps to protect their brain health. If you’ve seen a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’s, or simply want to ensure you’re doing everything you can to maintain a sharp mind, this program is designed for you.

  • If you have been diagnosed or have a loved one who has already been diagnosed with late-stage Alzheimer’s Disease, this program will not be a fit, as its focus is on prevention in the early-stages of Alzheimer’s, such as:


    • Pre-symptomatic Phase: No noticeable symptoms yet, but advanced tests like a PET scan or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis reveal early markers of neurodegeneration. This phase can last several years.  

    • Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI): You start to notice memory lapses or slower thinking, but standard cognitive tests still place you in the “normal” range.  This phase can last a decade.

    • Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): This misleadingly named stage represents significant cognitive decline, confirmed by both subjective symptoms and objective testing. Dr. Dale Bredesen compares this to being told you have “mildly metastatic cancer”—it’s a late stage of the disease process that deserves urgent attention. 

  • You’ll undergo a personalized lab analysis that includes cognitive function tests, metabolic health, inflammation levels, and toxin exposure. This allows us to pinpoint exactly what’s affecting your brain health, so we can create a customized plan to optimize your brain function and prevent cognitive decline. All tests are included in the program pricing, and the program will instruct you on when and how to get your testing done.

  • The program is designed to be flexible and easy to integrate into your life. Each week, you’ll have a "Question & Reflections Call" to dive deeper into the material, plus assignments and lab work. The program is structured so that you can make consistent progress without feeling overwhelmed. Expect to spend 1–2 hours per week on the core activities.

  • Based on Dr. Dale Bredesen’s research, which showed that 74% of participants’ cognition in a 2021 analysis was stabilized or improved, we hope to see that the program can support overall wellbeing benefited by improved scores for fasting blood glucose, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (which measures inflammation in the body that is correlated with AD), HOMA-IR (an indicator of insulin resistance), and levels of vitamin D.

  • One of the most powerful aspects of this program is the intimate, supportive community. You’ll be part of a cohort of like-minded individuals who share similar goals and challenges. You’ll be encouraged to connect, ask questions, and support each other throughout the 3-month process. There’s also the opportunity for “buddy” support if you prefer to have someone to partner with for additional accountability. We value willingness to learn, community-based care, and mutual respect in our community spaces.

  • At this time, we have a specific enrollment period with a set start and end date for each cohort.

  • The investment for the Foundations of Cognitive Health program is $1,000 per month, totaling $3,000 for the full 3-month program. This includes personalized lab testing, one-on-one consultations with Scott, the PreCODE protocol, weekly Question & Reflections Calls, a personalized dashboard to track real-time progress, and the comprehensive resources you need to support optimal brain health and overall wellbeing.

  • Yes, we offer two scholarship slots for individuals from underrepresented and BIPOC communities. We are committed to creating an inclusive program that supports diversity and accessibility. Read our full statement on Solidarity here. For more information on our scholarships, please email info@doctorblossom.com.

  • Most treatments for cognitive decline focus on Stage 4: Alzheimer’s Disease, when it’s often too late because the brain has already sustained extensive damage . This program is different because it’s all about prevention. This evidence-based, 3-month program uses the groundbreaking ReCODE Protocol, plus bloodwork, a powerful results dashboard, and expert guidance from Scott Blossom (25+ years of clinical practice in Āyurveda & TCM) to address the root causes of cognitive decline.
