Help Reverse Cognitive Decline with
Bredesen Protocol Alzheimers Treatment in Ashburn, VA
There's no way around it: Getting diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease can be both scary and disheartening for patients and their loved ones. The cognitive impairment, memory loss, and eventual cognitive decline can seem like a grim prognosis. Unfortunately, the standard reductionist approach seeking to identify a single silver bullet cure doesn't account for the multifactorial nature of Alzheimer's disease.
That's why treating Alzheimer's disease requires a multifaceted response from functional medicine. While there is no single drug that can cure Alzheimer's, protocols addressing the nuanced factors contributing to the disease can make a difference. That's where Proactive Wellness Centers and Bredesen protocol treatment in Ashburn, VA comes into play.

The Proactive Wellness Approach to Brain Health
At Proactive Wellness, we firmly believe that brain health is an essential part of your overall well-being. However, despite the emergence of new research, there has been limited understanding of how to promote brain health effectively. This includes reducing the risk of dementia/Alzheimer's and stabilizing cognitive decline in patients with early symptoms. Dr. Lawson, an esteemed Bredesen Protocol practitioner and ReCode 2.0 Certified with 17 years of experience in functional medicine can identify and address the root cause of cognitive decline in you or your loved one.
Dr. Lawson's goal isn't to replace the role of family physicians. Rather, we collaborate with primary care physicians, internists, and other medical professionals to provide a comprehensive approach to care. We believe that every individual is unique from a physiological perspective, and therefore, we avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, our programs focus on a customized approach, addressing risk factors that, if avoided or modified, could have beneficial effects for men and women who have dementia.
Our programs have a strong emphasis on slowing down and reversing the aging process, preventing diseases, and treating chronically ill patients. To achieve this, we employ a three-pronged approach:
- We empower patients with the knowledge they need to manage their health and attain optimal well-being.
- We prioritize disease prevention by conducting a thorough evaluation with the help of comprehensive diagnostics and the patient's health history form.
- We collaborate with patients to implement a rejuvenation program that includes various science-based treatments, like our Brain Health Optimization Program (BHOP) for people suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's
One of the most popular and effective programs we offer includes Bredesen protocol treatment in Ashburn VA. This revolutionary approach to dementia has provided hope and improved cognitive function for countless people in the US. But to understand the importance of the Bredesen protocol, it's important that you first understand dementia, Alzheimer's, and its effect on people across the world.
The Wide-Reaching Effects of
Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia
There are currently more than 5.8 million individuals in the United States who are living with Alzheimer's disease. It is predicted that the number of individuals with Alzheimer's disease will more than double by 2050.
Dementia is a type of cognitive decline that affects mental abilities. There are many different causes and complex layers involved. Cognitive impairment is characterized by abnormal results on tests measuring memory, speech, critical thinking, and other cognitive abilities, but individuals with this diagnosis are still capable of performing daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Without proper treatment, Alzheimer's disease is likely to follow within a few years. Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent form of dementia, and it is diagnosed through neuro-imaging and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid.
In the past, being diagnosed with Alzheimer's was often worse than receiving a death sentence. It was dehumanizing and stripped individuals of their memories, thinking abilities, and independence. However, after three decades of research, we now have a greater understanding of this devastating illness and even solutions like Bredesen protocol treatment in Ashburn, VA that can help patients deal with dementia.
What Causes Dementia? 
Dementia is caused by a normal and healthy brain process that malfunctions due to a toxic environment, inflammation, and a lack of necessary nutrients and hormones. The brain's defense mechanism produces amyloid plaques, which serve as a protective helmet around the brain. Unfortunately, these plaques destroy connections between nerve cells, ultimately affecting comprehension, recollection, and clarity.
Dementia by the Numbers
It's important to understand the impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD) around the world. According to the CDC, AD is present in 50% of patients in nursing homes and causes more than 110,000 deaths annually in the US. It was the 6th leading cause of death in 2015. More than 5 million people in the US are affected by AD, and recent data indicates that the problem is getting worse.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 47 million people around the world are currently living with dementia, and this number is expected to rise to 75 million by 2030 and 132 million by 2050. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60 to 80 percent of all cases.
While reading those statistics can be disheartening, there's reason to be hopeful. New therapies and treatments offered at Proactive Wellness - like Bredesen protocol treatment - can help patients deal with dementia and cognitive decline.
The Power of
Bredesen Protocol Treatment in Ashburn, VA
The Bredesen Protocol is a highly personalized treatment program that aims to reverse cognitive decline and improve brain function in patients. Dr. Bredesen has designed the protocol to be adaptable and customizable, tailored to the specific symptoms and needs of each patient.
The program is centered around lifestyle changes, medication, and nutritional adjustments, all of which are tailored to address the unique symptoms and environmental factors that may be contributing to cognitive decline. This approach, referred to as ReCODE, helps patients to combat brain fog and prevent the onset of dementia.
It has also helped patients improve cognitive function significantly, reverse symptoms, and even return to work. The ReCODE program comprises lifestyle interventions, therapeutic diets, and targeted nutrients. Proactive Wellness Centers is thrilled to offer this promising treatment modality for Alzheimer's disease to benefit our patients.
It all starts with a baseline Bredesen evaluation at our wellness clinic in Ashburn, VA.
Baseline Bredesen Evaluation from
Proactive Wellness Centers
At Proactive Wellness Centers, we have two ways to help patients who are in search of Bredesen protocol treatment in Ashburn, VA. The first option is our Baseline Bredesen Evaluation, which is best suited for asymptomatic patients - that is, individuals who do not exhibit any significant cognitive decline beyond what is expected with age. Dr. Bredesen classifies such patients as "PreCode."
This evaluation serves as a starting point for PreCode patients, as well as those who are unsure of their cognitive status and potential risk factors. Our baseline evaluation includes the following:
The first step involves conducting a comprehensive set of baseline labs to evaluate your overall health, closely following the Bredesen protocol. This step goes beyond standard labs that you might have for a physical. It includes tests for magnesium, zinc, and selenium levels, B6, B12, and folate levels, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid levels.
It also includes
- Pre-Diabetes Evaluation
- Hormone Level Evaluation
- Thyroid Level Evaluation
- Specific Immune Marker Evaluation such as TH1, TH2, IL6, and TNF.
Our goal with this assessment is to establish a starting point and compare your cognitive function against what is typical for your age group. We have chosen to use the CNS Vital Signs cognitive assessment, which is widely recognized as one of the best in the industry. Additionally, we will be conducting the standard MoCA test as part of the evaluation.
A DNA test is performed to identify the specific APOE genotype present in your DNA. APOE e4 has been shown to be associated with an increased chance of late-onset Alzheimer's disease, which occurs after a person is 65 years old.
This step covers your lab results and includes a detailed plan of action to address areas of improvement as identified in your baseline evaluation.
What are the Early Signs of
Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease?
As we grow older, it can be difficult to distinguish between normal changes in our cognitive abilities and the initial signs of dementia. The issue with preventing chronic illnesses is that we often believe we are healthy as long as we don't experience any symptoms, but this is not entirely accurate. Symptoms are typically the last indicator of a disease, meaning it has already progressed by the time they appear.
While it's always best to catch diseases before you notice symptoms, taking proactive measures at the first sign of cognitive changes can greatly impact the aging of your brain and body. It's crucial to act immediately if you're experiencing the following symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment. That way, ,you have a better chance of preventing the development of Alzheimer's.
Roughly 10% of individuals with MCI progress to Alzheimer's annually.
Fortunately, Bredesen protocol treatment in Ashburn, VA may provide you with a chance to delay or even reverse these symptoms
Memory Issues
You have a hard time remembering events that happened recently, such as appointments or important conversations with loved ones. You may also have trouble remembering important information.
Language Issues
You have trouble finding relevant words when you're talking with other people. You may also have problems following along with complex or complicated discussions.
Difficulty Maintaining Concentration and Attention
You have noticed a reduced ability to focus and stay honed in on most tasks. You may also not be able to multitask effectively, and it may be harder to keep your attention for long periods of time.
Decline in Executive Functions
This symptom involves difficulty with skills like decision-making, planning, problem-solving, and organizing. These difficulties are often most apparent in day-to-day activities.
Problems with Visuospatial Awareness
You may have trouble parking your car, judging distances, reading maps, or completing tasks that necessitate spatial orientation.
Impaired Judgement and Reasoning
This may include problems when making judgments or decisions. Examples may consist of difficulties making financial decisions, managing finances, making reasonable and appropriate social decisions, or thinking through risky situations.
By contrast, some of the most common signs of normal aging can include the following
Experiencing temporary lapses in memory, where recently learned details like names or scheduled events may slip from one's mind but can be remembered later on
- You occasionally make mistakes, but nothing that stands out as significant or unusual.
- You have to ask for help putting together or setting up electronic devices or equipment.
- You sometimes forget what day it is but have the ability to remember the correct date later on.
- Your vision is getting worse, which is caused by cataracts.
- You experience shortness of breath or get tired more often when being active.
- You feel unusual aches and pains, especially during poor weather.
- You get confused sometimes but don't have an inability to make decisions or multitask.
- You have a hard time keeping your body temp regulated.
- You get angry or frustrated when tasks aren't completed in certain ways.
Your Trusted Choice for Bredesen Protocol Treatment in Ashburn, VA
Maintaining a healthy brain is crucial for one's overall well-being, yet there remains a lack of knowledge when it comes to promoting brain health, reducing the likelihood of dementia, or managing symptoms for those exhibiting early warning signs.
That's why we're excited to offer patients the ReCODE program at Proactive Wellness Centers. Developed by Doctor Bredesen, this treatment has shown remarkable success in improving cognitive function and even reversing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. This comprehensive program includes lifestyle changes, dietary interventions, and specialized nutrients, and we are eager to provide this promising treatment option to patients like you.
If you or a loved one are starting to show concerning signs of cognitive decline, contact our office today to learn more about Bredesen protocol therapy. It could be your first step toward reversing mental decline and enjoying life to its fullest.

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — Five high schools within the Loudoun County Public Schools system are among the top 25 schools in Virginia, according to a new ranking Tuesday from U.S. News & World Report.
In the 2024 Best High Schools list, Virginia ranks 16th among U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Among the 320 of ranked schools, 19 are in the top 5.9 percent nationally, and 89 were in the top 27.8 percent.
U.S. News ranked 17,660 out of 24,000 reviewed public high schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The top high schools have students who score exceptionally high on math, reading and science assessments, as well strong performance among under-served students. High school graduation rates and college readiness among graduates are also measured.

"We are proud of all of our LCPS high schools, and appreciate US News & World Report highlighting the achievements of those schools that excel above and beyond," said LCPS spokesperson Daniel Adams.

ASHBURN, VA — Excitement is building in Ashburn and Loudoun County for the April 8 total solar eclipse. We’re not among some 32 million Americans living in the path of totality, but neither will we miss out on the celestial sensation.
In the United States, the path of totality extends from Texas to Maine, but each of the 48 continental states will see some of the solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon slips between our bright star and Earth.
None of the total solar eclipse will reach Virginia, but the partial eclipse will be viewable. In Ashburn, the moon will cover about 88.6 percent of the sun at the peak of the eclipse, according to a NASA map that is searchable by ZIP code.
Here are the details:
Partial eclipse begins: 2:03 p.m.Maximum: 3:19 p.m.Partial ends: 4:32 p.m.
Find out what's happening in Ashburnwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
The eclipse will last nearly two and a half hours from beginning to end in Ashburn.
Virginia State Parks plans to host solar eclipse viewers at its 42 state parks around the commonwealth. At Loudoun County's new Sweet Run State Park, eclipse viewing will start at 2:02 p.m., reach a peak of 89.9 percent coverage at 3:19 p.m. and end at 4:30 p.m.
Other Loudoun County solar eclipse viewing events on April 8 include:
Ahead of the solar eclipse, Brambleton Library will host NASA Solar System Ambassador Amit Sircar at 7 p.m. on April 4 to explain the science behind the 2024 event, including how to safely view it.
Hal and Berni Hanson Reg. Park's planetarium will also host a recap of the solar eclipse at several times on the evening of April 8.
The total solar eclipse starts in Mexico, entering the United States in Texas and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, as well as small parts of Tennessee and Michigan, before entering Canada in southern Ontario through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton before exiting continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — Loudoun County's first collective bargaining agreement in history was approved by a union representing fire and rescue employees and public safety communicators.
IAFF Local 3756, a union representing about 650 firefighters, fire marshals, medics and public safety communicators, voted to ratify the collective bargaining agreement with the county. In three days of voting, 86 percent of union members voted to support the contract.
"From the ordinance writing process, through negotiations, I am incredibly proud of both the County’s and Union’s negotiating teams," said Board of Supervisors Chair Phyllis Randall. "Not only do I believe that this contract will serve the best interest of the citizens of Loudoun County, but both teams were able to address challenges in a collaborative and civil manner. For a first contract to not go to arbitration, that’s a good sign for the relationship between the County and our employees, moving forward."
The union leadership and county staff negotiated the collective bargaining agreement over 16 months. The contract addresses areas of concern for first responders, namely pay, benefits and working conditions.
"Loudoun County is growing, so in response, the Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Department is growing as well," said John Myers, IAFF 3756 president. "That’s why it was so important, for us as the workforce, to ensure that this contract sets a strong foundation, not just for things like our benefits, like the number of annual leave slots available to our members escalating as the department grows, but also the foundation for the professional relationship between labor and management that we’ll need to have in years to come.”
Find out what's happening in Ashburnwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on approving the agreement at a May meeting.
A Virginia state law taking effect in May 2021 removed a ban on collective bargaining between localities and their employees. The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors had allowed collective bargaining through an ordinance approved in December 2021.
There are three collective bargaining units permitted in the county: one for employees of the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System, one for labor and trade employees, and a third for general county employees. Employees of elected officers — in the Offices of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Commissioner of the Revenue, Commonwealth’s Attorney, Sheriff and Treasurer — as well as employees of the Library Board of Trustees cannot be part of collective bargaining under the ordinance.
The general government employees unit recently voted forSEIU Virginia 512 to be the exclusive collective bargaining representative for eligible employees. However, the same union was not chosen to be the collective bargaining representative for the labor and trades unit.

ASHBURN, VA — Numerous restaurants in the Ashburn area recorded violations during health department inspections between Feb. 22 and March 5.

Data Center Campus Rejected By Loudoun Board Of Supervisors, Smaller Data Center By Right

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — As Loudoun County officials give more scrutiny to data centers, the Board of Supervisors rejected a new data center campus in Ashburn Wednesday. A smaller by-right data center is permitted, however.
The proposal concerned the Belmont data center campus on 111 acres south of Route 7 across Belmont Ridge Road from homes to the east and bordering Goose Creek to the west. Data centers are considered conditional uses in these suburban employment place type areas due to impacts on surrounding residences.
The denial came through a 5-4 vote. Supervisors voting for data center application denial were Chair Phyllis Randall, Ashburn District Supervisor Michael Turner, Algonkian District Supervisor Juli Briskman, Broad Run District Supervisor Sylvia Glass and Little Run District Supervisor Laura TeKrony. Those voting against the application denial were Sterling District Supervisor Koran Saines, Dulles District Supervisor Matthew Letourneau, Catocin District Supervisor Caleb Kershner and Leesburg District Supervisor Kristen Umstattd.
Even though the application was denied for up to 2.9 million square feet of data center and 989,000 of industrial uses, county staff said 1.3 million square feet can be developed by right. The original proposal was revised from 4.8 million square feet to 2.9 million. Another by-right allowance is the ability to build substations. Two substations were proposed in the application.
Some supervisors noted the proffer commitments from the developer were positives but preferred the by-right data center allowance over the larger proposed one.

"As is evidenced by the number of speakers tonight, the people of Loudoun are asking us to take closer looks at the impact of data centers on our county," said Glass. "This application for increased data center footage is not compatible with the residential across the street. I regular hear from constituents who already live near data centers about several issues, and I cannot support allowing a larger data center to be built directly across the street from existing residential."
Saines had introduced a motion to approve the data center application but amended it to defer consideration until April. That deferral motion failed 5-4.
Saines said a data center would be permitted either way but that an approval beyond by right would bring benefits solar panels to put energy back into the grid. He noted the Belmost Homeowners Association's support due to the proffers in the application.
"With the by right use, they don't have to do all those things," said Saines. "I wish data center applications, homeowner developers, even when they have a by right use, would do the right thing and come with a very, very good application. But legally, they don't have to do those things."
While the solar panels weren't intended to power the entire data center, the applicant estimated the solar panels could power 150 to 250 homes.
The data center proposal drew numerous public speakers for hours of testimony. Opposed residents cited concerns like energy usage environmental impacts, aesthetics, and the significant growth of data centers over the last few decades.
"They started out proposing Loudoun County's biggest data center ever, the size of 40 or 45 Home Depots and would have expanded data center square footage and energy demand by 15 or 20 percent in this one building alone and would have consumed as much power as many, many thousands of houses," said resident John Benedict. "By any measure, it still remains huge [at 2.9 million square feet]. It still demands too much power in an area with too many large data centers already. It would be triple the size of many of the largest recent data centers and 20 times the size of some of the earliest ones that were built only 15 years ago."
Benjamin Winn of the Goose Creek Scenic River Advisory Committee spoke in support of the data center proposal, noting the developer proposed a buffer to the creek beyond the 300-foot requirement, preserving the historic are near the creek and doing water quality monitoring.
"This one is very valuable to us because in addition to being an additional buffer, it will help decrease the visibility of the power lines that do have to run through this property to get to Vantage, a site that is already well under construction," said Winn. "Further, we're going to have access by county parks to the creek, likely a trail along the creek, which will increase the recreational value of the creek."
Theo Stamatis of the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce spoke in favor of data centers, saying a pause would damage the business community.
"We cannot allow Loudoun's reputation to be damaged as a business-friendly community and the millions of taxpayer dollars that have been invested in creating that positive image. Many of the large job creators in Northern Virginia have data centers in Loudoun, and these companies employ thousands of Loudoun residents," said Stamatis. "This industry supports thousands of jobs in the trades and support services. The negative economic ripple effect including jobs lost on even the contemplation of a pause on data center applications will fall the most heavily on the working class and small businesses."
Loudoun County is home to the largest concentration of data centers with the most located around Ashburn. In February, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted to kick off a process to put limits on further data center development.
