At Michigan Cognitive Recovery Center, we believe in empowering the aging brain through deeply personalized, root-caused care. Our approach is grounded in functional medicine and powered by the latest research in brain health. We offer more than traditional memory care we deliver a complete cognitive recovery experience focused on reversing decline, restoring clarity, and renewing purpose.
At Michigan Cognitive Recovery Center, we believe healing the brain starts with seeing the whole person. That’s why we combine clinical precision with deep human connection, delivering care that’s backed by science and powered by heart.
A clinically-proven approach that has helped 75-84% of participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease improve or reverse cognitive decline.
This isn’t about false promises. This is about giving your loved one the best possible chance at cognitive recovery through evidence-based functional medicine, personalized care, and unwavering compassion.
- Comprehensive health and cognitive assessments
- Therapeutic nutrition (including KetoFLEX 12/3)
- Cognitive stimulation and brain training
- Sleep, movement, detoxification, and stress-reduction strategies
- Continuous monitoring and plan optimization
Unlike traditional approaches that focus on a single drug or intervention, ReCODE addresses the multiple factors contributing to cognitive decline:
Inflammation reduction through targeted nutrition and supplements
Metabolic optimization via the KetoFLEX 12/3 dietary protocol
Sleep restoration and circadian rhythm regulation
Stress management and emotional well-being support
Detoxification from environmental and metabolic toxins
Cognitive stimulation and neuroplasticity enhancement
Physical movement tailored to individual capabilities
Our mission at Michigan Cognitive Recovery Center
is to develop an environment that administers personalized ReCODE and Longevity care protocols, enabling better health and living through functional medicine and evidence-based innovation.
Every resident and client is treated like family. We provide personalized attention, emotional support, and dignity-driven care throughout the journey.
Our programs are grounded in the latest clinical research, diagnostics, and longevity science, giving residents access to care that’s truly ahead of its time.
By co-locating advanced memory care with a longevity and functional medicine clinic, we create seamless transitions and holistic solutions under one roof.
Our pricing covers planned move-in costs and clear monthly care rates with no hidden fees, ensuring families can focus on what truly matters quality care, better health, and enhanced living for their loved ones.
Our program is inspired by leading-edge science in cognitive health and draws on proven, functional medicine methodologies. While we do not highlight specific affiliations, the foundation of our care is informed by globally recognized brain health protocols that focus on reversing — not just managing — decline.
At Michigan Cognitive Recovery Center, we believe families deserve the complete truth about what to expect. The ReCODE Protocol has shown remarkable results in clinical trials, but we want you to understand both the promise and the limitations of this approach.
Recent Clinical Trial Results:
In two peer-reviewed studies of the ReCODE Protocol with participants diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease:
75-84% of participants showed measurable benefit, with the majority experiencing cognitive improvement or reversal of decline
10-15% remained stable with no significant change in their condition
Less than 10% continued to decline despite treatment
Important Context About These Results:
These clinical trials specifically focused on individuals with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease—typically those scoring between 10-26 on the MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), where normal scores range from 27-30. Some participants improved dramatically, moving from mild impairment (MoCA score of 20) to normal cognitive function (MoCA score of 27-28), or from moderate impairment (MoCA score of 15) to mild or even normal ranges (MoCA scores of 23-28).
What About Severe Alzheimer’s Cases?
While our program welcomes residents at all stages, we want families to have realistic expectations. For individuals with severe Alzheimer’s (MoCA scores below 10), the improvements are typically more modest but can still be meaningful. We have witnessed remarkable transformations—residents who had lost the ability to walk or speak coherently have regained mobility, begun recognizing loved ones, and restored basic communication skills. However, severe cases rarely achieve the dramatic cognitive reversals seen in mild to moderate stages.
The Holistic Approach Benefit:
Even when cognitive improvement is limited, the ReCODE Protocol’s holistic approach—addressing nutrition, inflammation, sleep, stress, and detoxification—supports overall health and well-being. These interventions do no harm and often improve quality of life, physical health, and emotional stability regardless of cognitive outcomes.”

NOTE: Our program is based on functional and integrative medicine, in partnership with Apollo Health, founded by Dr. Dale Bredesen, MD (author of The End of Alzheimer’s). Dr. Bredesen has been directly involved in recent scientific studies and clinical trials with Alzheimer’s patients using the ReCODE (Reversing Cognitive Decline) program.
In two recent clinical trials, 75% of participants improved in one study, and 84% improved in another—with many reversing cognitive decline. Importantly, there is currently no prescribed drug available that can achieve this.
Our 12-month ReCODE and functional medicine program is fully individualized, designed to give Alzheimer’s patients the best possible chance of improving—and in many cases, reversing—cognitive decline.
Transparency is important. While the majority of participants improved, results vary:
About 8% continued to decline
About 15% remained stable
Outcomes are typically better for those with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s compared to severe cases.
That said, there have been remarkable cases even among patients with severe Alzheimer’s (for example, those scoring in the single digits on the MoCA—Montreal Cognitive Assessment, where normal adult scores are 27–30). Some of these patients, who had lost the ability to walk or speak coherently, regained enough function through ReCODE to walk again, converse with loved ones, and even recognize spouses or children.
However, recovery in severe cases is more challenging, and it is not realistic to expect a return to “normal” cognition or MoCA scores above 25.
