Bredesen Protocol - Karen Malkin Health Counseling

The Bredesen Protocol is a personalized program to prevent and reverse cognitive decline associated with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and early Alzheimer’s disease. Karen Malkin is a certified 2.0 ReCODE and MOCA Certified Brain Health & Wellness Coach. Karen offers coaching sessions nationwide by telephone and video conference, or in person in Glencoe Illinois in Tucson, Arizona. Karen teaches participants “how-to” follow the protocol.She collaborates with ReCODE trained physicians and also will work with the participant’s primary care practitioner for a team approach. The participant and caregiver is at the center of his/her own healing. It is not necessary that your physician be a ReCODE trained practitioner, as long as your physician is sympathetic to your goals and willing to help you to order needed tests. Karen can also refer you to a medical doctor to order the necessary testing. Combined, your work includes: a cognitive assessment, guidance for needed lab tests, bio-individual coaching sessions in the areas of lifestyle that are critical to success: nutrition and supplementation, achieving and maintaining ketosis, reversing insulin resistance, detoxification, managing and reducing stress, movement and exercise, sleep, adequate support network and brain training with brain HQ, or other brain stimulating activities. Karen’s coaching teaches participants how to create clear and attainable strategies for implementing The Bredesen Protocol, thus ensuring sustained progress. The program is individualized and client driven. To learn more and sign up for the ReCODE Protocol, please visit Apollo Health. Once a ReCODE report is generated, you may select Karen Malkin as your ReCODE 2.0 trained brain health coach.

Cq Assessment & Cq Score – The Cq or Cognitive Quotient is a cognitive assessment devised by Dale Bredesen, M.D., created specifically to detect early signs of neurological degeneration. The Cq Assessment is comprised of the AQ-6 Questionnaire, a subset of the AQ-21 (a proven informant-based screening questionnaire for Alzheimer’s disease), and an abbreviated CNS Vital Signs assessment (that evaluates executive function, speed processing, verbal and visual memory). The Cq score is a percentile based on their performance compared to their age-matched peers.
