PreCode & ReCode
At Colorado Concierge Functional Medicine we specialize in the PreCode and ReCode protocols for the prevention and treatment of cognitive decline.
Dementia care and prevention is extremely important to me. For 7 years Dr. Dan was the medical director of a rural nursing home and was also the primary care provider for all of the residents there. Many, if not most, of these residents suffered from dementia. It was so sad to see these individuals who had lived amazing lives now have no recollection of their past and often not even be able to recognize their family members. During this time Dr. Dan also had a member of his own family who developed a rapidly progressive dementia and passed away. He saw first hand how devastating this was on my family and how helpless we all felt. As a medical provider one of the most frustrating and painful diagnoses to give a person and his/her family is that of Alzheimer’s dementia. Up until recently, there was little he could do for this person and his/her family aside from offering emotional support. The medications really do not work and often cause significant side effects.
In 2017 Dr. Dan heard about the work that Dr. Dale Bredesen was doing. His functional medicine approach to dementia made such sense that Dr. Dan knew he needed to learn more about his research. In that same year he was fortunate enough to attend one of Dr. Bredesen’s training seminars and become one of the earlier providers certified in the Bredesen protocol. He has seen the development and changes in the program over the past 8 years, has worked with many clients using the ReCode Program and has seen great results.
This is a game changer. Dr. Dan shares Dr Bredesen’s mission to make Alzheimer’s dementia a disease of the past.
Dr. Dan is trained and proficient in Reversing type 2 diabetes, Optimizing gut health and nutrition, Treating chronic inflammation, Supporting detoxification, Treating thyroid disease, Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Treating and reversing cardiovascular disease, Managing autoimmune illness, Addressing chronic infections, and while not an expert in the treatment of more complex issues of mold toxicity and Lyme disease and can diagnose and at least start treatment for most individuals struggling with these issues and refer for expert care if needed.
