We are the only New Zealand clinics to offer the following combination of evidence-based approaches: the Bredesen Recode Protocol, validated in the Evanthea trial, combined with neurotherapy and lifestyle medicine.
This is evidence-based, whole-person memory care combining the internationally validated Bredesen ReCODE protocol with cutting-edge neurotherapy, photobiomodulation, metabolic assessment, and functional rehabilitation ~ because cognitive decline rarely has a single cause.
Thorough, proactive, and built around what the latest science now makes possible.
You've noticed changes in your memory or thinking and want to understand what's driving them.
You've been told you have Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) and want objective assessment and a proactive plan
You have a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and want to explore every evidence-informed option available
You have a family history of Alzheimer's and want to be proactive about your brain health now
You want a programme grounded in published clinical research ~ not hope, but evidence
The Bredesen ReCODE protocol ~ developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen and validated in a 2025 randomised controlled trial ~ takes a fundamentally different approach. Rather than targeting a single mechanism, it identifies and addresses the multiple underlying contributors to cognitive decline across biochemical, metabolic, inflammatory, hormonal, and lifestyle domains.

Reversal of cognitive decline: A novel therapeutic program
We ask you to share any previous cognitive assessments, investigations, or relevant medical records, a brief personal and cognitive history form through our patient portal, and core validated cognitive screening questionnaires.
Dr. Harris will explore your presentation across all four dimensions ~ biochemistry (metabolic health, inflammatory markers, hormonal function), neurophysiology, lifestyle, and connection & flourishing. By the end, there is usually a clear picture of where to focus.
Based on your consultation, you'll undergo a full Bredesen ReCODE biochemical panel ~ assessing the multiple biological contributors to cognitive decline ~ alongside CNS Vital Signs cognitive testing and any additional targeted investigations.
Our neurotherapy team will conduct QEEG brain mapping to identify neurophysiological patterns associated with cognitive decline, Phase Amplitude Coupling assessment measuring temporal-hippocampal coupling fundamental to memory consolidation, and HRV assessment of autonomic nervous system function.
Dr. Harris draws all threads together ~ biochemical results, cognitive testing, brain mapping, and clinical history ~ synthesised into a complete and coherent picture. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what is affecting your brain health and a systematic, evidence-based programme to address it.
