84% Success Rate: How We Reverse Cognitive Decline in Sarasota
When families hear that 84% of our patients achieve measurable cognitive improvement, the first question is always: “How is that possible when other doctors say nothing can be done?” The answer lies in our systematic functional neurology approach to identifying and eliminating the root causes of cognitive decline – something no other clinic in Sarasota offers.
As the only ReCODE certified functional neurology clinic in the Sarasota area, The Carroll Institute has developed a proven methodology that consistently delivers results traditional medicine cannot achieve. Here’s exactly how we help families reverse cognitive decline and avoid nursing home placement.
Why Our Success Rate is So Much Higher Than Traditional Medicine
Traditional neurologists achieve minimal success because they’re treating symptoms, not causes. Medications like Aricept and Namenda may slow progression slightly in some patients, but they cannot reverse cognitive decline because they don’t address the underlying factors destroying brain cells.
Why Traditional Alzheimer's Treatment Fails
Traditional medicine treats every Alzheimer’s patient the same way – with medications like Aricept, Namenda, and Exelon that only slow progression slightly. This one-size-fits-all approach fails because it ignores the underlying causes destroying brain cells.
Our 84% success rate comes from a fundamentally different approach:
- Root cause identification through comprehensive testing
- Personalized treatment protocols targeting each patient’s specific triggers
- Functional neurology rehabilitation rebuilding damaged brain pathways
- Systematic elimination of toxins, infections, and imbalances
- Ongoing optimization ensuring long-term cognitive health
The difference is profound: We eliminate the causes while others manage the symptoms.
The Science Behind Our Measurable Results
We don’t rely on subjective feelings or family observations to measure success. Our 84% success rate is based on objective, documented improvements using standardized cognitive assessments:
MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) Testing:
- Baseline scores establish starting cognitive function
- Regular retesting tracks improvement over time
- Average improvement of 4.4+ points in our successful patients
- Scores often moving from “impaired” to “normal” ranges
Laboratory Biomarker Improvements:
- Reduced inflammatory markers
- Normalized metabolic function
- Decreased toxic burden measurements
- Optimized hormone levels
Functional Assessments:
- Improved daily living activities
- Increased social engagement
- Improved Cognitive Exercise scores
- Better mood and outlook on life
These aren’t subjective improvements – they’re measurable, reproducible results.
Our Systematic 4-Phase Approach to Cognitive Recovery
PHASE 1: COMPREHENSIVE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
We begin with the most thorough evaluation most patients have ever received:
- Advanced laboratory testing for heavy metals, mycotoxins, and inflammatory markers
- Comprehensive metabolic and hormonal assessment
- Detailed functional neurology examination
- Environmental and lifestyle factor analysis
- Genetic testing for cognitive risk factors
PHASE 2: PERSONALIZED ELIMINATION PROTOCOLS
Based on test results, we create custom protocols to eliminate root causes:
- Targeted detoxification for heavy metals and mold toxins
- Anti-inflammatory interventions specific to each patient
- Metabolic optimization addressing blood sugar and energy production
- Hormone replacement and optimization therapies
- Infection treatment using functional medicine approaches
PHASE 3: NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION
The Carroll Institute is the only clinic in Sarasota that creates customized cognitive exercises based on each patient’s specific brain dysfunction patterns:
- Functional neurology assessment maps damaged pathways
- Custom cognitive drills target specific deficits
- Progressive exercises rebuild neural connections
- Regular reassessment adjusts rehabilitation protocols
- Brain training technology enhances traditional exercises
PHASE 4: LONG-TERM OPTIMIZATION
Sustained improvement requires ongoing support:
- Regular monitoring prevents regression
- Protocol adjustments maintain progress
- Lifestyle coaching ensures compliance
- Family education supports long-term success
- Preventive strategies protect future cognitive health

Baseline MoCA: 20 (Moderate Impairment)
9-Month MoCA: 26 (Normal Range)
“I was diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s and told to ‘get my affairs in order.’ After Dr. Glenn’s treatment, I’m back to managing my finances and driving independently. The ReCODE protocol gave me my life back.”
Robert K., Age 68, Lakewood Ranch
Presenting Problem: Severe word-finding difficulties, couldn’t manage household finances.
Outcome: Returned to work part-time, managing family finances
“Dr. Glenn found heavy metal toxicity and mold exposure that three other doctors missed. After detoxification and his custom brain exercises, my memory is sharper than it’s been in years.”
Linda M., Age 74, Venice
Previous Diagnosis: “Untreatable cognitive decline”
Result: Returned to volunteer work and social activities
“Two neurologists told me nothing could be done. Dr. Glenn was the first to look for root causes. He found thyroid problems and chronic inflammation. Now my family says I’m ‘back to my old self.'”
Why Timing Matters for Your Success
Early Intervention (Subjective Cognitive Impairment):
- 90%+ success rate with complete reversal often possible
- Faster response to treatment protocols
- Prevention of further decline
- Maintained independence and quality of life
Moderate Intervention (Mild Cognitive Impairment / Early Alzheimer’s):
- 80%+ success rate with significant improvement
- Slower but steady progress over 12-18 months
- Substantial functional improvements possible
- Family stress reduction and hope restoration
Advanced Intervention (Moderate Alzheimer’s):
- Stop progression with meaningful improvements
- Stabilization and some reversal possible
- Enhanced quality of life for patient and family
- Delayed need for memory care placement
The message is clear: The earlier you start, the better your results will be
How We Achieve Consistency Across All Patients
No other clinic in Sarasota offers this level of personalized neurological rehabilitation.
