ReCODE Protocol™
Clinically Proven to Reverse Cognitive Decline
Dr. Anna Sattah is a ReCODE 2.0 certified practitioner serving DC, Maryland and Virginia — one of the few physicians in the region fully trained in Dr. Dale Bredesen's protocol.
WHAT IS IT?
The Bredesen ReCODE Protocol, Explained
ReCODE is built on decades of groundbreaking research by Dr. Dale Bredesen, a leading expert in Alzheimer's disease. This program measures dozens of biomarkers and other health metrics to create a tailored plan targeting your specific contributors, offers a community, referrals to trained practitioners, a robust library of actionable information, live Q&As, and more. By analyzing key biomarkers, ReCODE not only restores cognitive performance but enhances overall health. The personalized algorithm can improve cognitive function, reverse decline, and deliver life-changing improvements.
Comprehensive Metabolic Testing
Extensive lab work identifies your unique contributors: insulin resistance, inflammation, toxin burden, nutrient deficiencies, hormones, sleep disorders, and more.
Genomic Analysis
IntellxxDNA genomic testing identifies genetic risk factors including APOE status so interventions can be precisely targeted to your biology.
Personalized Protocol
A customized plan is built addressing your specific findings — diet, targeted supplements, sleep optimization, exercise, cognitive training, and stress management.
Ongoing Coaching & Monitoring
Dr. Sattah works alongside a ReCODE-trained health coach to support implementation. Labs are monitored and plans adjusted as you progress.
Who Is This For?
The Bredesen Protocol is appropriate for patients with:
"Dr. Sattah stands out as the best physician I've seen. She offers new insights based on science and gives concrete, actionable ideas."
FOR CAREGIVERS & FAMILIES
Caring for Someone Showing Signs of Decline?
You're in the right place.
Most people who find us aren't searching for themselves. They're a spouse who's noticed something changing. An adult child watching a parent struggle. A partner who refuses to accept "this is just aging" as an answer.
You're not just welcome in this process — you're essential to it. We work with caregivers and families as partners from the very first call.

What Our Patients Are Saying
INSIGHT FUNCTIONAL HEALTH
Meet Dr. Anna Sattah
A physician who left the ICU to help people sooner
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Sattah cared for countless patients who felt lost in their symptoms and overlooked by traditional medicine. Seeing their struggles sparked a realization: people needed deeper answers, not just quick fixes.
That insight led her to functional medicine, where she found a more complete way to uncover what’s really driving fatigue, brain fog, and chronic inflammation.
Today, Dr. Sattah combines her critical-care experience with a compassionate, whole-person approach. She helps patients who feel unwell despite normal labs and want to protect their long-term health, guiding them toward clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of hope.
At Insight Functional Health, we use an integrative, precision-based approach to identify and address the root causes of cognitive decline — from inflammation and insulin resistance to mitochondrial, hormonal, and toxin-related pathways that impact brain health.
Our work builds on the Dale Bredesen's framework and the latest findings from TruNeura, a program developed under the mentorship of Dr. Kristine Burke, a nationally recognized leader in cognitive optimization. This model combines advanced lab interpretation, functional genomics, targeted lifestyle strategies, and health coaching to help stabilize and, in many cases, reverse cognitive decline.
