Alzheimer’s & Bredesen ReCODE

ReCODE Reversal of Cognitive Decline Program

Memory loss is scary. Waiting is not an option.

When you or a loved one starts forgetting words, repeating questions, losing focus, or feeling mentally “off,” it is hard not to worry.

Many people are told its just normal aging, to wait and monitor it, or come back when things get worse.

Your doctor may have even said there’s nothing you can do.
The science says otherwise.

Precision Medicine for Memory Loss, Cognitive Impairment, and Alzheimer’s. Led by Dr. Coby Hanes, an IFM-certified Functional Medicine provider and one of Oregon’s first ReCODE 2.0 certified physicians.

Memory loss and cognitive decline are not random, and they are not explained by a single cause. Research in functional and precision medicine shows that Alzheimer’s and cognitive impairment are driven by many underlying factors — including inflammation, insulin resistance, vascular health, toxins, hormones, nutrition, sleep, stress, and more. The good news? Each one can be identified and addressed.

At The Center for Functional Medicine, our focused ReCODE approach is to identify the root causes, intervene aggressively, and preserve brain function while there is still the greatest opportunity for improvement.

THE CONVERSATION YOU'VE HAD

The words that made your heart sink.

These responses aren’t given with bad intentions.

Medicine is broken. Not because doctors don’t care — but because they’re using an outdated map and model.

Conventional medicine simply wasn’t built to investigate the root causes of cognitive decline — it just tries to manage symptoms once they’ve arrived.

That’s a problem.

When it comes to Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline, time is everything.

These conditions do not stand still. They progress, accelerate, and steal pieces of a person’s life month after month. What begins as occasional word-finding trouble can become forgotten conversations, missed memories, and eventually the heartbreaking moment when a spouse, child, or grandchild becomes unfamiliar.

And once the brain begins to decline, the effects ripple through the entire body, changing mood, sleep, balance, independence, and identity itself.

Early intervention is not optional—it is the best chance to protect memory, preserve independence, and give families more time with the person they love.

WHAT CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE MISSES

The brain doesn't decline in isolation.

Cognitive function is downstream of everything happening in your body. When these systems are off, the brain suffers — and most standard workups never look at them.

Today's standard of care treats disease like a vending machine.

You insert a diagnosis. A medication drops out.

Alzheimer’s — here’s your pill. Diabetes — here’s your drug.

Simple. Clean. Catastrophically wrong!

“The human body is not a vending machine. It is a living network.”

Your brain, your gut, your immune system, your hormones, your mitochondria — they’re in constant conversation with each other. Not separate departments. One system.

When one part of the system falters, it pulls everything else down with it. Gut inflammation whispers to the brain. Poor sleep unravels hormonal balance. A struggling immune system fans the flames of neurodegeneration.

The dysfunction cascades quietly, systemically for years — long before a single symptom appears.

“Alzheimer’s isn’t a brain disease that appeared overnight. It’s the final, visible expression of years of network failure.”

And yet we hand people a drug that targets one protein, in one pathway, in one organ, and call it treatment. That’s trying to untangle a web by pulling one thread. Tuning one instrument while the rest of the orchestra plays out of key.

Reversing chronic disease requires systems biology approach — understanding how every part of the body functions together, and in what order they need to be restored.

“This isn’t just a better approach to medicine. It’s the only approach that reflects how the human body actually works.”

This is where our root-cause precision medicine approach provides deeper insight.

THE RECODE 2.0 PROTOCOL

A structured path – not a guess and a prescription.

Developed by neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen, the ReCODE framework evaluates every biological system that influences brain function. Dr. Hanes is one of Oregon’s first certified practitioners.

01

Find what's actually driving your decline

Comprehensive testing goes far beyond a standard workup – mapping your metabolism, inflammation, gut health, hormones, toxin load, and genetic risk.

Metabolic markers

Inflammation panels

Gut microbiome

Hormones

Toxin assessment

Cardiovascular risk

02

A protocol built for your biology — not the average patient

Your results drive a personalized plan. Because cognitive decline is multifactorial, we address the systems together nutrition, metabolism, detoxification, gut restoration, sleep.

Targeted nutrition

Metabolic optimization

Detox support

Supplementation

Sleep restoration

03

Ongoing support as your brain heals

Recovering cognitive function takes time. Regular follow-ups, protocol adjustments, and clinical coaching keep your trajectory moving in the right direction.

Regular follow-ups

Progress monitoring

Protocol refinement

Education & coaching

Clinical Experience

What Patients Frequently Report

Many individuals experiencing cognitive decline have multiple underlying factors that have never been thoroughly investigated. Through comprehensive testing and personalized interventions, patients frequently report improvements in:

Is This Program Right for You?

Who This Program May Be Appropriate For

Early intervention is often one of the most important factors in supporting cognitive resilience.

Apply for a Cognitive Health Consultation

If you are concerned about memory loss, cognitive decline, or early Alzheimer’s, we invite you to explore whether this approach may help support your cognitive health. Early evaluation may help identify factors that can be addressed to support long-term brain function.

During your consultation we will review your health history and cognitive concerns, discuss potential contributing factors, determine appropriate testing, and outline possible next steps. Dr. Hanes only accepts the cases he believes will benefit.

Meet Dr. Coby L. Hanes, DC, IFMCP

Your physician for precision cognitive medicine

Dr. Coby L. Hanes is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP) with extensive experience investigating complex chronic health conditions through a systems biology approach.

His clinical focus includes the critical connection between brain health, gut health, and metabolism — along with auto-immune conditions, inflammation, and environmental exposures. This integrated perspective is essential when addressing conditions such as cognitive decline, brain fog, and early neurodegenerative changes.

Dr. Hanes utilizes advanced functional testing and personalized treatment strategies to identify the underlying drivers affecting brain function, rather than simply managing symptoms.

Patients seek out Dr. Hanes for his thorough investigative approach to complex health challenges, particularly those involving the brain–gut connection and metabolic drivers of neurological health.
