The Carroll Institute’s ReCODE Program: A Precision Medicine Approach to Reversing Cognitive Decline
Dale Bredesen recode program
THE FIRST PERSONALIZED MEDICAL APPROACH SHOWN TO REVERSE COGNITIVE DECLINE
What if cognitive decline is not a single disease, but the result of multiple treatable factors affecting the brain?
The ReCODE approach, now supported by emerging Precision Medicine research, represents a fundamentally different way of treating cognitive decline.
Instead of focusing only on symptoms, or a single target like amyloid plaque, this approach identifies and addresses the underlying factors that may be driving decline, including inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, toxins, vascular issues, sleep disruption, and more.
At The Carroll Institute, we apply this science through The Carroll Cognitive Method™, our personalized system for helping patients improve cognitive function and restore hope.

The Hard Truth About Traditional Medicine
Traditional Alzheimer’s treatment has largely focused on diagnosis, symptom management, and single target therapies designed to slow progression.
For families seeking meaningful cognitive improvement, slowing decline is not the same as changing the outcome.
That’s because cognitive decline is not caused by a single problem, and it is unlikely to improve with a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Research increasingly supports a different model: a Precision Medicine approach that identifies and addresses the multiple underlying factors contributing to cognitive decline.
At The Carroll Institute, this is the foundation of The Carroll Cognitive Method™.
When it comes to cognitive decline, time may be your most valuable asset, and the greatest cost of ineffective treatment is not just money, but lost time.
Every month spent pursuing approaches that do not identify and address the underlying drivers of cognitive decline allows the condition to progress further.
A Precision Medicine approach to cognitive decline requires specialized training in functional neurology, root-cause medicine, advanced diagnostics, and personalized treatment planning.
Without that framework, treatment is often limited to symptom management rather than meaningful intervention.
The most logical path is to first identify what is actually driving the decline, then build a personalized plan to address those specific causes.
Built on Decades of Research into Cognitive Decline
Cognitive decline is rarely caused by a single issue.
Research behind the ReCODE and emerging Precision Medicine approaches has identified dozens of factors that can contribute to declining brain function, including inflammation, toxins, metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, vascular issues, chronic infections, poor sleep, and more.
By the time noticeable memory symptoms appear, multiple factors are often affecting brain health simultaneously.
That’s why a personalized, comprehensive approach is not simply better, it’s necessary.
When the underlying causes of cognitive decline go untreated, decline often continues—affecting memory, independence, and quality of life for both patients and families.
The earlier these factors are identified, the greater the opportunity to improve the outcome.

“My engineering background taught me that every problem has a solution – you just need to identify the root cause and address it systematically. That’s exactly what we do with cognitive decline at The Carroll Institute.” – Dr. Glenn
THE CARROLL COGNITIVE METHOD™
PHASE 1: RECLAIM
Identify the root causes.
Comprehensive testing helps uncover the specific factors driving cognitive decline, from inflammation and toxins to metabolic dysfunction, hormone imbalance, and more.
PHASE 2: RESTORE
Treat what’s driving the decline.
Once the causes are identified, treatment becomes personalized, reducing inflammation, improving metabolism, supporting detoxification, and strengthening brain function through customized neurological rehabilitation.
PHASE 3: RENEW
Protect and maintain your progress.
Long-term improvement depends on optimizing sleep, hormones, lifestyle, and sustainable habits that help preserve cognitive gains.

RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
Measurable Cognitive Improvement Through a Personalized Precision Medicine Approach
Our approach is designed to identify and address the multiple factors contributing to cognitive decline, using advanced testing, genetic insights, laboratory analysis, and personalized neurological rehabilitation.
Because no two patients decline for the same reasons, no two treatment plans should look the same.
That’s the foundation of The Carroll Cognitive Method™.
“This is what cognitive decline treatment should look like – personalized, comprehensive, and effective.” – Dr. Glenn
As a retired internist, I spent years watching patients lose themselves to dementia. I noticed signs of memory loss in myself, and I was terrified. I knew all too well that there was no effective drug for memory loss or dementia. And, I was taught you can’t reverse Alzheimer’s disease. I thought my career—and my life as I knew it—was over. The thought of losing my identity was unbearable.
Then I found Dr. Glenn. For the first time, I felt hope. To my surprise, the program’s science-backed strategies didn’t just slow my cognitive decline – they reversed it.
Now, I feel sharper, more in control, and optimistic about my future.
Dr. Elizabeth H. M.D., Retired Internist, 68
Dr. Glenn has given me my husband back. A year ago, I watched the man I love slip away into a fog of memory loss and confusion. It was heartbreaking, and I felt powerless. But after starting The ReCODE Program, the change has been nothing short of miraculous. My husband is himself again—sharp, engaged, and full of life. I can’t thank Dr. Glenn enough for giving us back the future we thought we had lost

“The ReCODE was an eye-opener for me. WOW! It not only identified areas I needed to focus on but also provided me with a clear plan to enhance my health. I was so afraid I would become a burden on my family. I’m grateful for the peace of mind and sense of control this has given me.”

went to Dr. Glenn with concern about memory issues and “brain fog.” Dr. Glenn and his team did an incredibly thorough assessment using both state-of-the-art technology and that rarest of qualities: empathy and careful listening. They constructed a holistic treatment program. Six months later, I can honestly say I’ve never felt better.I am so happy. Truly, they are among the smartest people in the medical profession.

About The Carroll Institute
At The Carroll Institute, we focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of cognitive decline through a personalized Precision Medicine approach.
As Sarasota’s only ReCODE-certified functional neurology practice, our work combines advanced functional neurology, root-cause medicine, genetic insights, laboratory analysis, imaging, and personalized cognitive rehabilitation to create truly individualized care.
Through The Carroll Cognitive Method™, we look beyond symptom management to identify the specific factors that may be contributing to memory loss, cognitive decline, and early Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr. Glenn brings decades of specialized experience in functional neurology and cognitive restoration, offering a level of focused expertise rarely found in traditional settings.
Our mission is simple:
to replace fear and uncertainty with clarity, hope, and meaningful cognitive improvement.
If you or someone you love is experiencing cognitive decline, don’t assume “nothing can be done.”
