Dr. Janine Garcia is a Board-Certified Ambulatory Care Pharmacist, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, and ReCODE 2.0 Certified Practitioner and Health Coach. She is also certified to administer and score the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). With more than 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Garcia brings together pharmacy expertise, functional medicine principles, and health coaching to provide practical, personalized support for individuals and caregivers navigating brain health.

Why Brain Health Became Personal

Dr Garcia’s interest in cognitive health became deeply personal when she began noticing changes in her own mother’s cognition. Helping her family put the Bredesen protocol into practice gave her first-hand experience with one of the most important lessons of the journey:

Knowing what to do is one thing. Making it work in everyday life is another.

Over the past two years, Janine and her family have worked to incorporate the recommendations in ways that are both meaningful and sustainable. KetoFLEX 12/3™ nutrition became an important part of her mother’s routine, along with addressing sleep apnea with CPAP and incorporating aerobic exercise and strength training.

But not every recommendation was a natural fit.

“Some participants, like my mother, are not able to perform all the recommended parts of the protocol, but we can always modify the program for them to suit their particular needs and find a viable, empowering path forward.”

That experience reinforced something Janine now brings to her coaching: every person is different. Root causes, health priorities, strengths, preferences, and everyday challenges all matter.

That’s why Janine places so much value on taking a deeper look at your ReCODE report and getting to know you during your Foundation Coaching Session. Together, you identify where to begin, look for meaningful early wins, and create a plan that feels realistic and enjoyable enough to become part of your life.

Because the best plan isn’t simply the one that looks good on paper. It’s the one you can actually live.

Where Pharmacy Expertise Meets Brain Health Coaching

Dr. Garcia is committed to staying current with evolving research and best practices in pharmacy, healthy aging, cognitive health, and coaching. She completes extensive continuing pharmacy education in areas including geriatrics and family medicine, along with ongoing professional training in health and wellness coaching.

For Janine, education has always been about more than gaining knowledge, it is about making that knowledge useful.

“Knowledge is powerful, but what matters most is helping people understand how to apply it in ways that can meaningfully improve their health and quality of life.”

As a Doctor of Pharmacy, Janine has spent much of her clinical career helping people manage complex chronic conditions, particularly diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Her experience includes medication management, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and working with patients and healthcare providers to safely reduce medications when improvements in health make that appropriate.

She has a particular interest in medication optimization as we age. Our bodies, health conditions, and priorities change over time, and medications that were once appropriate may need to be reconsidered. Some medications may also contribute to concerns such as falls, cognitive impairment, or other adverse effects in older adults. When concerns arise, Janine can help participants better understand the potential benefits and risks of their medications and prepare questions or recommendations to discuss with their prescribing healthcare providers.

Janine brings the same careful approach to supplements. She believes supplements should be targeted, evidence-informed, high quality, and periodically reassessed rather than simply added indefinitely. Because supplement quality can vary, she encourages choosing products that undergo appropriate independent quality testing and reviewing supplements for potential medication interactions, duplication, and unnecessary risk.

As Janine often reminds her clients:

“They’re called supplements for a reason. They should supplement the foundations of health—not become the foundation themselves.”

Her philosophy is simple: more is not always better. When fewer medications or supplements can safely accomplish the same goal, that may reduce cost, complexity, and potential harm. For participants following ReCODE recommendations, supplements may be suggested based on individual findings and biomarkers. Janine helps participants understand those recommendations, incorporate them thoughtfully, and revisit them as their health information and care plans evolve.

How Janine Can Support You

There can be a lot to consider when supporting your brain health. The good news is you don't have to do everything at once.

Together, you and Janine can:

  • Better understand your ReCODE or PreCODE Report
  • Clarify your health goals and prioritize next steps
  • Build realistic routines that support lasting change
  • Recognize your strengths and resources to overcome obstacles
  • Track your starting point, progress and meaningful wins
  • Work on your lifestyle priorities, such as nutrition, metabolic health, sleep, movement, stress, and brain stimulation
  • Review your medications and supplements and identify questions for your healthcare team
  • Prepare for upcoming provider appointments
  • Support care partner wellbeing, communication, and connection
  • Learn alongside a warm, reflective, affirming group that supports your intentions and values

Dr. Garcia provides education and health coaching alongside your healthcare team. Coaching does not replace medical care, diagnosis, or treatment.

ReCODE LEARNING CIRCLE (3 months): $450

The ReCODE Learning Circle is intentionally limited to 10 participants, giving everyone the opportunity to participate, reflect, and connect. Each session begins with brief education on the topic, with most of our time devoted to coaching and helping you put your ReCODE Report recommendations into practice in everyday life.

The Program Includes:

  • 1 (90-minute) private Foundation Session
  • Baseline MoCA, when appropriate
  • 12 weekly (60-minute) Group Coaching Sessions
  • Up to 1.5 hours of preparation and individualized review
  • Up to 2 text-based questions between Sessions

Before joining the group, you'll meet privately with Janine for your Foundation Session. Together, you’ll explore what matters most to you, your strengths, your report, your priorities, and your first steps.

The goal is simple: know where you’re going and where to begin.

During the group coaching sessions, you'll explore:

  • Goals & Daily Habits
  • Nutrition & Metabolic Health
  • Sleep
  • Movement
  • Stress
  • Brain Stimulation
  • Medications & Supplements
  • Care Partner Well-being


Optional Private Coaching

For Learning Circle participants who would benefit from additional individualized support:

• 5 (30-minute) SESSIONS: $275

• 12 (30-minute) SESSIONS: $600

Sessions may be used during your Learning Circle or afterward and expire one year from the date of purchase.

Longer-term coaching can be discussed when additional support would be helpful.

Before You Begin

Successful implementation of a ReCODE plan requires appropriate medical care. Participants should have a healthcare provider who is willing to evaluate and medically manage the clinical aspects of their plan, including laboratory findings, diagnoses, prescriptions, and other medical needs.

When appropriate, Dr. Garcia recommends obtaining baseline laboratory testing through Apollo Health, making it easier to incorporate your results into your ReCODE or PreCODE Report, identify measurable health priorities, and determine where to begin.

Additional Pharmacist Service

MEDICATION & SUPPLEMENT REVIEW: $60/hour (Available to New York residents)

Meet privately with Dr. Garcia for a pharmacist-led review of your prescription medications, over-the-counter products, and supplements.

The goal is to help you better understand your regimen and identify questions or concerns to discuss with your healthcare providers.

Laboratory testing, equipment, Apollo Health fees, medications, supplements, and other third-party costs are not included in coaching fees.

A Partnership, Not a Prescription

Dr. Garcia's role is to help you understand your recommendations, identify what matters most, and turn your plan into realistic changes that fit your life.

You don't have to do it alone. Together, we'll draw on the strength of community to help you get started, stay engaged, and keep moving forward.
