Bredesen Assessment
Bredesen Protocol Assessment
Dr. Fowler is a Bredesen Protocol Certified Practitioner in Sonoma, California.
The Bredesen Protocol Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to identify the root causes of memory loss, brain fog, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and cognitive decline. Using advanced laboratory testing, cognitive screening, metabolic analysis, and functional medicine principles, Dr. Elena Fowler develops a personalized strategy to optimize brain health and support long-term cognitive performance.
Timely, intentional interventions matter. Research shows the brain can create new neural connections and recover function when the root drivers of decline are identified and addressed. This assessment looks beyond symptoms to examine the interconnected systems that influence cognitive performance — including metabolism, inflammation, hormones, toxins, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle patterns.
Our process explores current and past symptoms, previous treatments, personal and family history, and objective testing to build a clear clinical picture of what may be contributing to cognitive changes. This foundation allows us to identify the primary drivers and develop a targeted, personalized plan.
Using the principles of the Bredesen approach, we focus on addressing the metabolic pathways associated with cognitive decline. Emerging research highlights factors such as systemic inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, insulin resistance, and toxic burden as common contributors to memory loss and neurodegeneration.
At Modern Body-Brain Health, we work methodically to identify and correct these imbalances — supporting brain resilience, repair, and long-term cognitive vitality.
Every patient is unique. While many individuals experience improvements in cognition, energy, and quality of life, outcomes vary based on diagnosis, disease progression, and individual health factors.

What is the Bredesen Protocol?
The Bredesen Protocol is a personalized functional medicine approach designed to identify and address the underlying causes of cognitive decline, memory loss, and Alzheimer's disease risk.
Who is a candidate for the Bredesen Protocol?
Individuals experiencing brain fog, memory lapses, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), family history of Alzheimer's disease, or age-related cognitive concerns may benefit from a Bredesen Protocol Assessment.
Can cognitive decline be reversed?
Research suggests that some individuals may improve cognitive function when underlying factors such as inflammation, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, sleep disorders, and toxic exposures are identified and addressed.
What markers are included in testing?
Testing may include advanced blood chemistry, hormone analysis, metabolic markers, cognitive screening, genetics, nutritional evaluation, and environmental risk assessments.
Is Dr. Fowler Bredesen Certified?
Yes. Dr. Elena Fowler is a certified Bredesen Protocol practitioner and uses a comprehensive brain-body approach to identify factors contributing to cognitive decline.
