If your cognition isn't as sharp as it used to be – it’s time to find the root cause and learn how to give your brain what it needs!
Susan's Story
“Hello, I’m Susan Gibson – founder of Vivolor. I’m familiar with the tragedy of memory loss. My mother was my best friend. Early in mom’s memory loss she didn’t recognize me or believe I’m her daughter!! So, I had to do something. I made it my life’s mission to find solutions to cognitive decline. I applied my Functional Nutrition certification, 30 years of business experience in healthcare, pharmacy degree, Harvard MBA and my passion for brain health, to found Vivolor® Therapeutics. Because ReCODE is the most effective method of finding and addressing the root cause of cognitive issues, I became certified in ReCODE and PreCODE techniques. We intend to help millions of people keep and improve their cognitive health so you don’t go through what my family did!

Scientific Evidence for ReCODE
ReCODE® stands for Reversing COgnitive DEcline and is a program developed by Dr Dale Bredesen, an internationally-recognized expert in neurodegenerative diseases. Dr Bredesen has published studies in over 200 peer reviewed journals regarding his precedent setting work. He also authored The End of Alzheimer's and The First Survivors of Alzheimer's books. Prospective multi-center trials of ReCODE in those with pre-dementia and early stage dementia have had remarkable results.
Will ReCODE work for me?
ReCODE and PreCODE have helped those with:
- Normal memory
- At risk for memory issues
- Concerned about future memory loss
- Experiencing cognitive issues
- Suffering dementia or Alzheimer's disease
- Normal memory
- At risk for memory issues
- Concerned about future memory loss
- Experiencing cognitive issues
- Suffering dementia or Alzheimer's disease
Are you at risk for dementia ?
The following factors increase the risk of dementia. Anyone over the age of 45 or with any of these risk factors should know their personal accumulated damage and learn how to care for your brain. The more risks you have, the more critical it is to take action.
Start in your 40s
DON’T WAIT until your brain slips
The data are quite clear that the actions you take throughout your life greatly impact your likelihood of getting dementia and degeneration of your brain. Decades before you notice any memory issues, you start losing neurons, getting plaques on your neurons and tangles inside them, and your brain actually shrinks in size! Don’t wait!

Memory Loss Plague
With the aging population, memory loss is a tsunami or plague threatening to overtake our society as the number struggling increases drastically. The enemy has gained tremendous ground through robbing minds – and this not only impacts the person with cognitive issues, but everyone around them as well.
95% of Memory Loss is Preventable
Causes of Memory Loss
Many people believe the myth that memory loss is a natural result of aging and there is nothing you can do about it. Experts who know agree that the great majority of cognitive decline is preventable. ReCODE has proven this to be true. Over your life, you accumulate damage from toxins, deficiencies, metabolic issues, infections and much more. Cognitive issues result when the damaging forces overtake your ability to repair. Cognitive issues can not only be delayed and prevented, they can be reversed! The root causes need to be identified and healthy habits adopted. For over a decade, scientific publications have documented the power and importance of lifestyle in preventing and addressing dementia. National Institutes of Health scientific publications estimated that up to 50% of dementia can be prevented by addressing a handful of risk factors alone. The LANCET Commission has been publishing these risk factors and the percent of dementia that can be prevented by addressing risk factors for over a decade. For those who remain skeptical, here are some relevant publications:

Possibilities of Dementia Prevention – It is Never Too Early to Start
Nutrition and Cognitive Impairment
We Forget to Remember
When we experience a lapse in memory, we often think “I’ll deal with it later”. Then, we forget about it. We try to ignore memory slips. But cognitive decline is a slippery slope – our memory generally declines over time unless we know what to do to change that. Pathology (physical changes in our brain) starts 15-20 years before our first memory slip symptom. Just like our physical health, it isn’t something we can set aside. Don’t slide down the slope. Fortunately, it’s never too late (or too early) to start protecting your memory.
Don’t wait until your memory becomes a crisis. The negative changes in your brain have typically been going on for over 20 years by then!
Memories are Real Treasures
