Yes. Dr. Josh believes Alzheimer’s is both preventable and reversible when you address the root causes. This involves identifying and treating underlying factors like infections (parasites, mold, Lyme), heavy metal toxicity, nutritional deficiencies, auto-immune disease, and metabolic issues rather than just managing symptoms.
Dr. Josh works with patients both virtually and in-person at 4 different locations in South Florida:

Successful practice in Dementia / Alzheimer’s Reversal for over 7 years.
As an integrative lifestyle medicine practice focused on root-cause treatment, we can provide procedure codes for visits, but patients are typically responsible for payment and can submit for reimbursement with their insurance company. Many of our cutting-edge treatments are often not covered by insurance.
Yes, Dr. Josh works with people internationally through virtual consultations and coaching. Many patients from Canada, UK, Turkey, South Africa, Australia, Saudi Arabia and other countries have successfully worked with the practice remotely.
The first step is to understand that dementia is not a one-way street. Schedule a consultation to identify the underlying [often hidden] causes—this might include testing for mold toxicity, parasites, heavy metals, other infections, industrial toxins, forever chemicals, personal genetics, and metabolic issues. Early intervention with the right protocol can make a significant difference.
Absolutely. Early intervention often yields the best results. MCI is an ideal time to implement comprehensive lifestyle changes, address root causes, and prevent progression to more advanced stages.
This is something to discuss in a consultation. Dr. Josh focuses on addressing root causes rather than just managing symptoms, but medication decisions should be made carefully with proper medical oversight.
Not Necessarily. While APOE4 increases risk, genetics are not destiny. Lifestyle factors, diet, toxin exposure, and addressing root causes play enormous roles. Many people with APOE4 never develop Alzheimer’s when they take preventive action. In fact, if you take the correct actions you can eliminate the excess risk. Also, APOE is not the only gene responsible for Alzheimer’s risk. There are over 100 others that we can analyze for you, if you work with Dr. Josh.
Yes. While protocols may vary slightly, the root cause approach applies to all forms of cognitive decline—addressing inflammation, infections, toxins, and metabolic dysfunction.
Yes
Dr. Josh’s approach targets multiple root causes, including: –
Testing typically includes comprehensive assessments for mold toxicity, heavy metals, gut health (microbiome, parasites), nutrient deficiencies, hormone levels, and inflammatory markers. Specific tests like Vibrant Wellness panels, Personal Genetics, GI mapping, and toxicity screenings are commonly used.
Parasites can create chronic inflammation, compete for nutrients, release toxins, and directly affect brain function. Many people with cognitive decline have undiagnosed parasitic or other infections that need to be addressed as part of comprehensive treatment.
Absolutely. Mold toxicity (mycotoxins) can cause significant cognitive impairment, memory loss, brain fog, and symptoms that mimic Alzheimer’s. The good news is that when mold is the primary cause, symptoms often improve dramatically with proper treatment.
Heavy metals like mercury (from dental amalgams and fish), aluminum [technically not heavy, but a toxic metal], and lead are neurotoxic and can accumulate in brain tissue, contributing to neurodegeneration. Proper testing and chelation protocols are essential parts of treatment.
While Dr. Josh advocates strongly for a whole-food, plant-based diet based on its benefits for brain health and overall wellness, each patient’s protocol is individualized. The focus is on eliminating inflammatory foods and emphasizing nutrient-dense, plant-based options.
Diet is fundamental. A whole-food, plant-based diet reduces inflammation, provides essential nutrients, supports gut health, and helps eliminate toxins. It’s one of the most powerful tools for both prevention and reversal.
Common recommendations may include: magnesium, omega-3s (DHA/EPA), B-complex vitamins, glutathione or glutathione precursors, Lion’s Mane mushroom, antioxidants, and targeted nutrients based on individual deficiencies and genetics. Nitric Oxide supplements are also frequently recommended for cardiovascular and brain support.
Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant, critical for detoxification and protecting brain cells from damage. Many people with cognitive decline have depleted glutathione levels. Supporting glutathione production is often a key part of the protocol.
Yes. Brain fog, memory problems, and cognitive decline exist on a spectrum. Addressing root causes early can prevent progression and restore optimal brain function.
Yes. Many conditions share common root causes—inflammation, toxicity, infections, and metabolic dysfunction. A comprehensive approach often improves multiple conditions simultaneously.
While the initial injury differs, the healing process involves many of the same principles: reducing inflammation, supporting detoxification, optimizing nutrition, and promoting neuroplasticity and regeneration.
Absolutely. Sleep disorders significantly impact brain health and can accelerate cognitive decline. Addressing sleep quality is an important part of any comprehensive brain health protocol.
Yes. Dr. Josh offers online educational programs and provides free content through social media and his website. There’s also a new Alzheimer’s program launching soon that will provide more accessible options for learning about and implementing the protocol.
Treatment duration varies from weeks to months, depending on your customized treatment plan.
Typical sessions last for 1 hour, but it vary depending on the case.
