The devil is in the details. You can read his original published paper here:

The place to start is with a low carb moderately ketogenic diet.

He also suggests at least a 12 hour fasting window daily, optimally 14-16 hours.

Dr Bredesen calls his approach personalized medicine. He identifies 3 different causes for Alzheimers. He suggests doing a whole slew of testing so that the recommendations can be individualized to the specific person. You really have to read the book to take in all the permutations of his approach, but as I said low carb moderately ketogenic with a 12-16 hour daily fasting window is the foundation. Unless someone has incredible insurance the cost of all the tesing would be prohibitive for most of us I imagine. Still there is a lot of good information in the book but it needs to be read. Summarizing it is beyond my skill set. Plus I just got the book yesterday so I have hardly absorbed it all.
