Coaching with Me
Your expert guide to the Bredesen Protocol.
Work directly with me, Allison Knox Blankenship, a health coach with expertise in the Bredesen Protocol. I am a ReCODE 2.0 Certified Health Coach, a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. I opened my Dallas-based practice in 2018, where I privately coach clients and care partners to successfully implement the Bredesen Protocol. My coaching services are now available via telemedicine to all PreCODE and ReCODE subscribers and physicians throughout the United States. My coaching philosophy is based on the science of behavior change. I work diligently with clients and their care partners to embrace small lifestyle changes over time and expertly coach you through obstacles and setbacks. Together, we can do this.
What does a coach do?
I work virtually with clients across the USA and --
- Act as liaison/translator between you and your physician to clarify the often complex information and instructions.
- Co-create strategies for implementing the Bredesen Protocol into your life.
- Assist and support you and your care partner in navigating your new and challenging roles.
Why do I need a PreCODE or ReCODE coach?
Why do you need a coach if you're a PreCODE or ReCODE member working with a Bredesen-trained physician? A Bredesen-trained health coach is an expert in helping you make the lifestyle and behavioral changes necessary for success on the Bredesen Protocol. I am your highly-skilled health guide that fills the gap that doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and dietitians don’t often have the time or desire to fill.
Physicians and coaches have distinct roles in the protocol journey. Physicians use a PreCODE or ReCODE report to provide a prescriptive treatment plan for a patient, the “what” of the protocol. Coaches work diligently with their clients to strategize and facilitate the “how-to” of the protocol. Success in preventing or reversing cognitive decline requires both of these critical components.
Frequently asked questions
Must I be a PreCODE or ReCODE subscriber to work with you? Yes, I work exclusively with Apollo subscribers who have a Bredesen-trained physician or a primary care physician willing to support the protocol.
Is coaching covered by insurance or Medicare? Unfortunately, not yet. As a new health profession, coaching is still fee-for-service.
