Help Reverse Cognitive Decline with
Bredesen Protocol Alzheimers Treatment in Tysons Corner, 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 Tysons Corner, 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 Tysons Corner 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 Tysons Corner, 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 Tysons Corner, 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 Tysons Corner, 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 Tysons Corner, 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 Tysons Corner, 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 Tysons Corner, 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.

Legislation that would pave the way for a casino to be built in Tysons passed the Gaming Subcommittee of the Virginia Senate on Monday.

|Updated Mon, Jan 20, 2025 at 7:04 pm ET
RICHMOND, VA — Legislation that would pave the way for a casino to be built in Tysons was approved Monday by the Gaming Subcommittee of the Virginia Senate.
Senate Bill 982 — which would give the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors the power to put a casino referendum on a ballot for residents to decide — passed on a 5-2 vote with Sen. Adam P. Ebbin (D-Alexandria) abstaining. The bill now moves back to the full General Laws & Technology Committee for consideration at its next scheduled meeting on Wednesday.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Mount Vernon), the chief patron of the bill, told subcommittee members that Virginia needed a “crown jewel” like Maryland’s MGM National Harbor Hotel & Casino.
“The creation of a mixed-use, transit-oriented entertainment district that would include not only a casino, but a state-of-the-art conference facility and performing arts venue is estimated to contribute an additional $140 million in annual revenue the county, in addition to over millions of dollars for the Commonwealth,” said Julie Coons, president and CEO of the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce, who spoke in favor of the bill. "If approved by the Board of Supervisors, a development of this nature would diversify and broaden tax revenue for Fairfax County.”
When asked about the vocal opposition to the proposal, Surovell first dismissed opponents from the Reston area, saying they were miles from where the project would be built. He then acknowledged that the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors had not requested the authority to add a casino referendum to the ballot, but the board has not taken an official position on the proposed casino.

Patch first reported in September 2023 that Comstock Holding Companies wanted to build a casino somewhere in Fairfax County on Metro’s Silver Line outside the Capital Beltway. During the 2024 session, Marsden added language to the bill narrowing the location to Tysons.

Instead, only two supervisors — Walter Alcorn (D-Hunter Mill) and Jimmy Bierman (D-Dranesville) — have spoken publicly against the casino, which would not be built in either of their districts, according to Surovell. Supervisor Dalia Palchik (D-Providence), who represents the location of the proposed entertainment district, has not taken an official position.
Bierman represents McLean, which borders the Tysons district inside the Capital Beltway. The eastern boundary of Alcorn’s district ends at Route 7, which puts it across the street from where the gaming facility would be built.
Claudia Arko, a lobbyist representing the board of supervisors, agreed the board has not taken an official position, but Chairman Jeff McKay (D) wrote a letter in January 2024 outlining the county’s concerns.
“What you’ll see in the letter is our concern about the revenue split,” she said. “I understand that it’s the same revenue split for the other localities, but obviously when funding formulas are created for Fairfax County, we tend to not get the best deal."
"As the law stands today, the Commonwealth would receive over 70 percent of the gaming tax revenue generated by a Fairfax County casino," McKay's letter says. "This is especially relevant given the fact that the location outlined in the bill has the potential to generate significant local tax revenue without a casino."
Arko also addressed claims by Surovell that the Tysons casino project would address the county’s budget shortfall and generate funding to help alleviate that.
“The real issue for our property tax and the fact that we’re having to increase it so much is that the state just doesn’t fund schools to the degree that they should for Fairfax,” she said. “For example, when you all give a 3 percent raise for teachers, the state pays about 20 percent of that. We pay about 80 percent. So if it costs $100 million, which sometimes it does, you all pay about $20 million and we pay $80 million.”
Virginia Diamond, president of the Northern Virginia Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, also spoke in favor of the bill, saying it would generate 5,000 union jobs. She was followed by a long line of union representatives, who each said their chapter supported the proposed project.
Connie Hartke of the No Fairfax Casino Coalition was the first of a long line of Fairfax County residents to speak in opposition to the legislation. She asked the senators to delay passing SB982 until after House Bill 2498 is enacted. This bill would create the Virginia Gaming Commission to oversee and regulate all forms of legal gambling.
“Any new gaming legislation such as the establishment of a casino in Tysons Corner should be put on hold until this agency is fully operational,” she said. “This will ensure the agency can properly evaluate and regulate new projects to align with its mission. This casino bill is designed to benefit private interests, not the Fairfax County community opposed to the bill.”

New renderings of potential Tysons casino released
We're getting a sneak peak at what a possible casino and entertainment complex could look like in Tysons. New renderings are circulating as lawmakers in the Commonwealth introduce new legislation in the general assembly to make it all happen.
VIENNA, Va. - A proposed casino and entertainment complex in Tysons Corner is moving one step closer to reality as new renderings and legislation spark fresh debate.
Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell has introduced a bill in the General Assembly that could pave the way for Fairfax County’s first casino.
The proposal includes plans for a sprawling 1.5-million-square-foot facility featuring a casino, conference center, entertainment venues, restaurants, and more.
"This would be a full-service casino," Surovell said, addressing criticisms about the project. "We already have gambling facilities near sensitive locations like Quantico and national security sites. People who want to gamble have plenty of opportunities today, whether through physical locations or online sports betting."
Featured
Security leaders in Fairfax County are voicing new concerns about safety and security risks surrounding possible casinos in the Tysons Corner area.
FOX 5 obtained the renderings, which offer a glimpse of what the complex could look like, with potential sites near Leesburg Pike and Spring Hill Road in Vienna. While supporters tout the economic benefits and entertainment potential, opponents, including McLean resident Sally Horn, remain skeptical.
"What the proponents of the bill have said is, ‘That casino would only be 5% of the entire complex.’ And so what’s so bad about that? My reaction is, that’s the part that’s a problem," Horn said.
Comstock Companies is reportedly in talks to develop the project. The bill outlines requirements for the complex to include amenities such as a conference center and entertainment venues.
With discussions in the early stages, the proposal has a long road ahead, navigating legislative hurdles and public scrutiny. For now, the possibility of a casino in Tysons has ignited a conversation across the Commonwealth about the future of entertainment and development in Northern Virginia.

Tysons Casino Discussion Planned By Fairfax County NAACP

MOUNT VERNON, VA — Fairfax County NAACP is hosting a discussion of the proposed Tysons entertainment complex at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 7, 2025, at the Gum Springs Community Center, according to a post on the organization’s social media.
“Join us for a community-centered conversation designed to provide an unbiased platform for public questions, comments, and concerns. This moderated discussion will ensure every voice is heard and respected, fostering a thoughtful exchange of perspectives,” according to a release.
Representatives from Comstock Development Corp., the Reston-based developer behind the proposal to build an entertainment district anchored by a casino somewhere on Metro’s Silver Line in Fairfax County, will be part of a panel that includes the NoVA Labor Federation AFL-CIO and the No Casino Coalition. Both groups have come out publicly to support and oppose, respectively, plans to build a casino in Tysons.
Read all of Patch's reporting on the plan to build a casino on Metro's Silver Line in Fairfax County at Silver Line Casino.
Terry Clower, the director of the Center for Regional Analysis and the Stephen Fuller Institute, will also participate in the panel.

In a 2023 Virginia Mercury article, Clower noted that while advocates say a casino with restaurants, hotels and concert halls would create a go-to destination for out-of-towners to spend money at local businesses, he questioned whether the market could support a second casino and entertainment district with the MGM-branded casino just across the Potomac River in Maryland.
On Tuesday, Patch first broke the news that Sen. Dave Marsden (D-Burke), who introduced the two previous casino referendum bills during the 2023 and 2024 general assembly sessions, would not reintroduce the bill in the next session, as he previously stated.
Instead, Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Mount Vernon), who represents the Gum Springs community in Richmond, will carry the legislation this time.
In an email to Patch on Monday, Surovell confirmed he was carrying the casino legislation this session. “It will have a referendum,” he said, adding that he was still working on the rest.
