Alzheimer’s Survivor Dr. Judy Benjamin on Her 2,812-Mile Walk and the ReCODE Approach

A News4JAX segment by reporter Caleb Yauger profiled Dr. Judy Benjamin, who completed a nearly 3,000-mile cross-country walk more than a decade after receiving an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Benjamin described using targeted laboratory testing, nutrition shifts, and structured exercise approaches aligned with the ReCODE Protocol as part of her strategy to stabilize cognitive function. Her experience reflects a precision-medicine framework in which multiple metabolic and lifestyle factors are evaluated and addressed together.

Her neurologist, Dr. Dale Bredesen, joined her at the finish in St. Augustine and noted that her long-term stability raises essential questions about how individualized interventions may help manage cognitive decline. Yauger’s report emphasized both the physical demands of the walk and the clinical relevance of Benjamin’s sustained cognitive performance. The coverage also pointed to increasing public interest in evidence-based strategies for Alzheimer’s prevention.
