Johanna (Jo) Grabyn is a ReCODE 2.0 Certified Nutritionist (BHSc Nutritional Medicine) with close to 20 years of experience. She is certified to administer MoCA Tests, to interpret ProDrome Scans for dementia, and to incorporate Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy into her participants’ protocols. Jo currently works independently with participants in conjunction with a partnering GP, or their primary care physician to support them on the Bredesen Protocol through the PreCODE and ReCODE programs.

Due to her own health journey from a very young age, she has studied extensively, across numerous health areas and healing modalities. Her extensive studies allow Jo to support and empower the people she works with. Being deeply involved with their own physical, mental and emotional recovery, she has found this enables hope and encouragement, rather than leaving little to no hope when the only other option ahead is a medication that has a minimal success rate.

As a child, she watched her grandfather succumb to Alzheimer’s dementia, then her own dad suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. Five years later, Jo met Dr Bredesen, initially training with him at the Buck Institute of Aging in California, then in 2023, retrained in the updated ReCODE 2.0 Certification. Jo believes that when given hope, being supported with care and the right knowledge, plus being willing to put in true effort, every person stepping into this process will benefit in all areas of their lives.

She has continued to study regularly in functional, integrative and hyperbaric medicine (in the USA), allowing her to dig into the underlying causes of a participant’s lack of wellness/symptomatic presentation, discovering root causes through investigation and more detailed testing. From here, Jo helps her patients to begin to take control of their own healing journey, while having their hand held through each and every step.

Using her knowledge about nutrition (using food as medicine), specifically the KetoFLEX 12/3 Nutrition plan, appropriate personalised supplementation, various lifestyle practices, and other healing modalities as indicated by the detailed testing she undertakes, Jo guides participants towards optimal health, often including other healthcare professionals and treatments in the process, where appropriate.

Working in clinical practice, she has experience supporting people with the following conditions/healthcare needs:

  • Mild Cognitive Impairment (SCI, MCI)
  • Early Alzheimer’s Disease (Prevention and Treatment)
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • CTE / TBI support
  • Concussion recovery
  • Brain fog & memory issues
  • Migraines & chronic headaches
  • Depression & anxiety
  • Ongoing / chronic fatigue / post viral syndrome
  • Gut issues, including IBS, Inflammatory Bowel Disease & undiagnosed digestive complaints
  • Detoxification programs – environmental toxins / chemicals / heavy metals / mould
  • Inflammatory issues and conditions
  • Joint problems and pain issues
  • Blood glucose issues – insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes
  • Cardiovascular issues
  • Nutrition and dietary support
  • Vitamin, mineral and other nutrient deficiencies

Jo is available to work in person and via telemedicine, in conjunction with one of her partner GPs, or your own GP / primary care physician, as so long as they are willing to support you on the protocol. She prefers to meet in person, at least for the initial assessment, if that can work for you & your partner and/or caregiver who she encourages to join you.
