The “Cq” Cognitive Quotient Assessment is a screening test developed by Dr. Bredesen in collaboration with Apollo Health that provides a “snapshot” of your cognitive health. The assessment includes an AQ-6 Questionnaire, a subset of the AQ-21 Assessment Test, and an abbreviated CNS Vital Signs assessment. (CNS Vital Signs is a market leader in developing neurocognitive and behavioral evaluations.) You will be provided a Cq score upon completion to help you assess your current cognitive status. You can check your cognitive health today with the Cq Assessment. The Cq is also used as one of the cognitive evaluations in the PreCODE Program. Subscribers can access the Cq Assessment here once logged in.

For PreCODE: Physician visits are optional for those in the United States. Because we don’t offer international labs, international PreCODE participants must work with a trained practitioner to order labs and run a report.     

For ReCODE: Because the reversal of cognitive decline can be complex and multifactorial, we require that you work with a ReCODE Trained Primary Protocol Practitioner (an M.D., D.O., or foreign equivalent), and highly encourage you to consider working with a ReCODE Trained Health Coach and other practitioners, as needed. While the first appointment is typically one to two hours, follow-up appointments are usually shorter. For the first year of ReCODE, a participant may visit their physician for a total of 5 to 6 (or more) hours, with less time required in subsequent years. Prices vary by location, but average around $400 per hour. You’re welcome to meet with your health coach and other members of your care team (such as a nutritionist) as often as needed.

For PreCODE members, we recommend repeating a follow-up set of labs every 6 months.

For ReCODE members, a smaller panel of follow-up labs is ordered at the six-month point, with a full panel being run annually. 

Please note that ApoE4 status will only be run on the first set of labs. Based on your labs or clinical presentation, your practitioner may determine that additional specialized labs are necessary. These labs are often run directly through your insurance. Check with your provider to be sure. Some may require that you file with your insurance provider directly.

Yes, but be aware that errors sometimes (rarely) occur through 23andMe and other direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies. It may be a good idea to repeat your results. If you decide to opt out, there will be a $110 deduction from your lab testing price. Please call customer service at (800) 450-0805, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, or email lab@ahnphealth.com to make this arrangement.

For PreCODE: $334
For ReCODE: $855

Labs ordered through Apollo Health are not reimbursable by insurance. You may be able to get insurance to cover the cost of your labs if you order them through your practitioner. Depending upon your health insurance plan, you may be able to get insurance to cover the cost of your labs, but it may ultimately turn out to be more expensive. Among the benefits of ordering baseline labs directly through Apollo Health is that they will be automatically entered into your report, and our bundled prices as part of your membership are so low that they’re often less expensive than the cost of visiting your primary care provider, running labs through insurance, then hiring a RECODE Trained Health Coach or Practitioner to manually create a report. (Ask your insurance provider for an estimate to compare prices. Also, check with customer service at support@ahnphealth.com or call (800) 450-0805, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT to estimate the cost of manually creating a report.)  It’s also helpful to order your own labs and run your report before choosing a practitioner because once you know your specific contributors, you can choose the best practitioner for you based on your subtype(s).

If you prefer to try to get insurance coverage, you could try to find a provider to order labs through our Practitioner and Health Coach Locator Tool, or you could reach out to your primary care provider to order the baseline labs (see a list for PreCODE and ReCODE). Be aware that this often takes more time and can be more expensive.

Your ReCODE Trained Practitioner may also order additional labs based on your results and clinical presentation. These are often covered by health insurance, but ask your provider to be sure. 

To be most effective, we recommend monitoring your oxygen saturation ($59 and up) and glucose and ketones ($28.50 plus the cost of strips). You may also use other devices, such as Biosense,  KAATSU, photobiomodulation, etc. All of these are optional, and we’ve partnered with a variety of vendors to offer you discounted prices.

The cost is variable and depends upon whether you’re using LifeSeasons’ supplements or your own options and may fluctuate based on specific personalized recommendations.

For PreCODE: LifeSeasons’ NeuroQ supplements are $69.99 per month. Some additional supplements may also be recommended based on your lab results.

For ReCODE: The cost of supplements can range from $150 to $450 per month. Based on your lab results, your ReCODE Report will offer two different supplement plans; one will feature LifeSeasons’ ReCODE supplements, developed by Dr. Bredesen, and the other will outline a comprehensive list of individual supplements that your ReCODE Trained Practitioner may adjust to meet your unique needs. 

It’s a good idea to inform your current physician before starting the ReCODE Program. He or she also may be able to help you order your baseline labs. (See “Does insurance cover my labs?” above) However, because reversing cognitive decline is highly specialized and the program is complex and multifactorial in nature, we require that you work with a ReCODE-trained practitioner to help ensure your success.  

Yes, our credit card transaction provider is Stripe, and it meets PCI Service Provider Level 1 certification, the most stringent level of security qualifications.

ReCODE and PreCODE Reports use a proprietary algorithm created by and regularly updated by Dr. Bredesen to generate a personalized report identifying the status of your brain health and possible signs of cognitive decline or its precursors. This report provides the information you and your practitioners need to decide on the optimal treatment plan for prevention or reversal if you are currently experiencing cognitive decline.

No. A ReCODE subscription (with a minimum annual subscription) is required to get a ReCODE Report, and a PreCODE subscription (with a minimum annual subscription) is required to get a PreCODE Report.

Yes, the tests should all be completed if you want a “complete” assessment from the PreCODE and ReCODE Reports.

No, all of the labs can be done at your convenience, but they are necessary to generate a report. It is best to complete all testing at once and generate a report as quickly as possible to ensure all values are current.

For an accurate assessment, all of the medical questionnaires and cognitive assessments need to be completed.

Our software will generate the PreCODE and ReCODE Reports instantly once your lab results, medical questionnaires, and assessments are completed and entered into our database.

Absolutely. The Baseline PreCODE Test Panel is here, and the Baseline ReCODE Test Panel is available here.   

The CNS Vital Signs Assessment is available for participants in the ReCODE Program. This self-administered assessment, which you will take as a part of your initial cognitive intake testing, includes a variety of exercises to measure and track multiple cognitive domains. Having a support partner present may be helpful to ensure instruction comprehension. We encourage you to repeat this test monthly, free of charge, to track your progress. After each free monthly assessment, you’ll receive a summary of your performance. For periodic comprehensive evaluations, you may purchase the full CNS Vital Signs medical report of any previous assessment for a fee of $30. 

The personalized treatment recommendations from the protocol consist of dietary and lifestyle changes to influence metabolic and other markers that require long-term intervention to show improvement. These changes need to be continued to maintain progress for both prevention and reversal of cognitive decline.  

Apollo Health offers the program, extensive support materials for you and your practitioner, and the software algorithm created and regularly updated by Dr. Bredesen that provides your report, which includes a comprehensive treatment plan.  Because of the specialized nature and complexity involved in reversing cognitive decline, a ReCODE Trained Practitioner is required to help those in the ReCODE Program implement and oversee their treatment. Those participating in the PreCODE Program for prevention may choose to see a Bredesen Trained Practitioner (physicians, health coaches, nutritionists, and more) as needed.

We encourage you to work with a comprehensive care team, ideally consisting of a primary protocol physician, health coach, nutritionist, and more, as needed, so they can help you with the tools and resources you need for success.

Yes, you may add or change your practitioners or health coaches anytime. We have trained practitioners and health coaches worldwide to help you put together the team you need to assist with your brain health optimization. To remove an existing practitioner or coach, please either contact them directly, contact support@ahnphealth.com, or call (800) 450-0805, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT for assistance.

Yes, please refer to our recent studies in which the Bredesen Protocol reversed MCI (pre-Alzheimer’s) or early-stage dementia. In one trial, cognitive testing revealed that 84% improved. Objective evaluations with cognitive testing through CNS Vital signs demonstrated increased performance from the 38th to 63^rd percentile — a 65.7% improvement.
