Help Reverse Cognitive Decline with
Bredesen Protocol Alzheimers Treatment in Washington, DC
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 Washington, DC 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 Washington DC. 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 Washington, DC 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 Washington, DC
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 Washington, DC.
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 Washington, DC. 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 Washington, DC 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 Washington, DC
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.

Winooski School District Superintendent Wilmer Chavarria testifies in Washington, D.C. on detainment

WINOOSKI, Vt. —
Winooski School District Superintendent Wilmer Chavarria was in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday to testify on his detention earlier this year while reentering the United States.
Chavarria joined others from across the country to testify in a public forum over what are being called unconstitutional detentions by Department of Homeland Security agents. He was invited by Vermont Sen. Peter Welch to be a part of a panel of American citizens who have been detained by immigration authorities.
The head of the Winooski School District was held for several hours at an airport in Houston, Texas by U.S. Customs and Border Protection back in July while returning from a visit to see family in Nicaragua.
A United States citizen, Chavarria was born at a refugee camp in Nicaragua, and several members of his family recently self-deported back to the country after living in the United States.
He told Winooski School Board members that he was separated from his husband and "subjected to abusive interrogation" as well as "treated in a manner that is deeply disturbing and unacceptable," according to a letter about the incident.
In their email, the board said Chavarria was held in custody for more than five hours.
“You feel like you’ve been abducted by a gang of aggressive, violent people who are trying to manipulate you and who are lying to you, and while you are being abducted, you know that these people are capable of doing anything to you because they don’t care," said Chavarria in an interview with NBC5.

Chavarria is one of five people called to Capitol Hill by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) a ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, as well as U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) a ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He is also the only person from Vermont and the only person from the East Coast to be called for testimony.
The public forum began at 3 p.m. at the Hart Senate Office Building. Chavarria said during his testimony that he is scared to leave the country again.
"I do not feel like I am free to visit my mother without being afraid that I will be detained or disappeared at any time for any reason," Chavarria said. "I don't think any American should be deprived of the right to visit their mother."
Chavarria's testimony comes as his district is receiving hateful and threatening messages related to a video of students raising a Somali flag earlier this week.
A Winooski second-grade student and his mother were recently detained over the Thanksgiving break by federal agents.

A Beautiful Wedding Rooted In Love And Two Meaningful Cities
Frens, Senator Cory Booker is officially a married man, and this love story is warming my whole spirit.
Booker and Alexis Lewis tied the knot in Newark and Washington, DC, honoring the places that shaped both of their lives.
The couple exchanged vows in a private interfaith ceremony in DC, blessed by a pastor and a rabbi, then made everything legal in Newark on Monday with their parents as witnesses.
Booker shared photos online and said his heart was “overflowing with gratitude” as they said “I do” in two cities that hold deep personal meaning.
A Blind Date That Turned Into A Five Hour Fairytale
Their romance started with a blind date in May 2024 arranged by a matchmaking friend.
Lewis was living in Los Angeles and visiting family in DC when she agreed to meet Booker.
What should have been a quick hello turned into more than five hours of conversation and connection.
Booker even convinced her to change her flight so they could go on a second date the next night.
Date number two took place in Newark with dinner at a tapas restaurant, a trip to see the Broadway musical “Suffs,” and a first kiss outside the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
If that isn’t romcom energy, I don’t know what is.
From Moving In To A Hawaiian Fairytale Proposal
The couple moved in together this past April and fostered a shepherd mix named Cooke.
Then came the proposal that could make even the coldest heart melt.
Booker proposed in Kauai as a troupe of native musicians performed Lewis’s favorite song, “Dreamlover” by Mariah Carey.
When she told the musicians she dreamed of having that song at her wedding, Booker smiled and said, “This is the song that’s playing at your proposal,” before getting down on one knee.
A cinematic moment for sure.
Celebrating Love In Newark And DC
Their DC ceremony was intimate and filled with family, but it was Newark where they officially became husband and wife at the US District Court.
After the paperwork was signed, the newlyweds celebrated with Italian pastries and a vegan chocolate chip cookie dough cake for Booker’s plant-based lifestyle.
Lewis said she had spent years unsure if marriage was in the cards for her, but meeting Booker changed her life.
She and her girlfriends always say, “Change your flight, change your life,” and in her case, it came true in the sweetest way.
A New Chapter Begins
Booker, once named one of Town and Country’s “Top 40 Bachelors,” has dated high-profile women in the past, including Rosario Dawson and poet Cleo Wade.
Lewis is a DC native with degrees from NYU and Cornell, and she now works as a director of investments at Brasa Capital Management.
Two cities. Two ceremonies. One beautiful beginning.
Are you excited for the newlyweds? Drop down in the comments and let me know, Frens.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., announced that he married his fiancé Alexis Lewis on Saturday, sharing photos of himself and his newlywed wife on social media.
Booker and Lewis wed in a private ceremony in Washington, D.C., less than three months after announcing their engagement on Instagram.
On Sunday, Booker posted that they were "overflowing with gratitude," writing: "We said ‘I do’ in two places that shaped us—Cory’s beloved Newark and Alexis’s hometown of Washington, D.C.—first at the courthouse, then with our families. Hearts full and so grateful."
The couple married in an interfaith ceremony — Booker is Christian, and Lewis is Jewish — at an undisclosed venue, The New York Times reported. The couple had legally wed Monday at the federal courthouse in Newark with only their parents present.
The couple told the Times they met through a mutual friend known for matchmaking in May 2024. Their blind date in Washington lasted more than five hours. When Booker asked for a second date the next night, Lewis said she had to catch a flight for a work trip to Newark. Booker persuaded her to delay her flight so they could meet again in Newark, where he was also headed.
Booker later described that second date as "even more magical," saying they ate at a tapas restaurant before he showed her places in the city that shaped his life. The night ended with their first kiss outside the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
Lewis is a director of investments at Brasa Capital Management, a Los Angeles-based real estate investment firm, and previously worked for former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. She holds a bachelor’s degree from NYU and an MBA from Cornell.
"My girlfriends and I say, 'Change your flight, change your life,' because it’s exactly what happened," Lewis told the outlet. "After so many years on my own, I’m not entirely sure I believed I would get married. But now, we’ve found each other at this stage of our lives, after epic personal journeys. And that deserves celebration."

The Trump administration is taking an even firmer stance on immigration in the wake of a fatal shooting near the White House Wednesday, which took the life of one National Guard member and injured another.
Additionally, the White House signaled it may ramp up its operations targeting alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean, following months of strikes against vessels accused of trafficking drugs into the U.S.
Here’s what happened this week.
Washington shooting
The Trump administration is moving to impose more limitations on migrants attempting to enter the U.S., after an Afghan national was identified as the suspect in Wednesday’s deadly shooting.
Law enforcement officials identified the shooting suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, who entered the U.S. legally in 2021 under the Biden administration's Operation Allies Welcome program, which aimed to facilitate resettling Afghan refugees in the U.S.
The Department of State has paused all U.S. visas for individuals traveling on the State Department and Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted to X Friday.
U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died Thursday due to injuries stemming from Wednesday’s shooting. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition as of Friday, per U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro.
As a result of the shooting, Trump said in a social media post Thursday that he would permanently pause migration from "all Third World Countries."
Likewise, the head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Joseph Edlow, said Thursday that in accordance with orders from Trump, he has "directed a full scale, rigorous reexamination of every Green Card for every alien from every country of concern."
The White House did not provide additional information regarding which countries would be impacted, and referred Fox News Digital to Trump’s social media post.
Venezuela operations
Trump also signaled that his administration would start conducting land operations as it ramps up its operations targeting alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean.
Since September, the Trump administration has conducted more than 20 strikes against alleged drug boats in Latin American waters, and has beefed up its military presence in the Caribbean as part of Trump’s effort to crack down on the influx of drugs into the U.S.
"You probably noticed that now people aren't wanting to be delivering by sea, and we'll be starting to stop them by land also," Trump said Thursday. "The land is easier, but that's going to start very soon."
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital regarding whether the White House was considering land strikes or deploying U.S. troops within Venezuela. However, Trump has previously refused to rule out dispatching U.S. ground troops into Venezuela.
The New York Times reported Friday that Trump spoke with Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro in the past week.
