Our signature program is a comprehensive process for determining your unique pathway to optimal cognitive health. Based on the revolutionary PreCODE 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:

• 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. 

If you have been diagnosed or have a loved one who has already been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Dementia, this program will not be a fit, as its focus is on prevention (PreCODE) of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s. At present, Scott has not begun accepting ReCODE patients, so we recommend that you go to the Apollo Health website.

If you haven’t already, you’ll undergo a suite of lab tests necessary to create your PreCODE 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.

The program is designed to be flexible and easy to integrate into your life. Each week, you get an email with guidance and resources plus three weeks a month we will have a "Question & Reflections Call" to dive deeper into the material and provide tips for integrating the protocol into your life. The program is structured so that you can make consistent progress without feeling overwhelmed. Expect to spend about 2 hours per week on the core activities.

Expect to see improvements in areas such as focus and concentration, learning abilities, memory making and storing, high-quality sleep and consistency, fitness and mindfulness, and coping mechanisms, especially in times of stress or strain. Based on Dr. Dale Bredesen’s research, which showed that 84% of participants’ cognition 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 6-month process. There’s also the opportunity for “buddy” support for additional accountability because the science is clear that this improves your chances of successfully integrating the protocol. We strongly encourage everyone to get support from a trusted friend, family member, or a Foundations community member. 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 $650 per month, totaling $3,900 for the full 6-month program. This includes 5 one-on-one consultations with Scott, the PreCODE protocol, PreCODE Report interpretation, 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 experiencing financial challenges, or from underrepresented and/or BIPOC communities. We are committed to creating an inclusive program that supports diversity and accessibility. Read our full statement on Solidarity here.

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’s all about prevention. This evidence-based, 6-month program uses the groundbreaking PreCODE 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.

For the initial cohort, we’ll offer the lowest price available in exchange for receiving regular feedback from participants.
