Providing Natural Solutions for Male Sexual Health
There's not much we can count on in life, but if there's one guarantee, we can bet that our bodies change as we grow older. That's especially true for men as they age. One moment you're partying at the club, waking up refreshed, and hitting the gym. The next moment, getting out of bed is a chore. You're sore in places you never thought before, and hangovers don't just go away after a hot shower and a big breakfast.
And while sore joints and backaches can be treated with aspirin and ice, other signs of aging aren't as easy to treat. Of course, we're talking about challenges in getting and maintaining erections needed to satisfy your partner. At the extreme, we all know it as erectile dysfunction or ED for short but long before full ED, there are warning signs that things aren't working as they used to work. Hearing the ED word sends shivers down most men's spines. When you think about it, that makes sense - being unable to perform when you need to most is a scary thought.
If you're beginning to suffer from ED or male performance issues or you've been dealing with performance issues for some time, it may seem like nobody has any solutions or even really understands how these issues can impact your life and sense of well-being. However, ED of varying degrees is very common. More than 18 million men suffer from the condition in the U.S. Unfortunately, many of those men hide their performance issues without ever addressing them. If you're one of those men, and it feels like you're stuck in a rut with no help, we're here to tell you you're not alone. Proactive Wellness Centers, PLC is here to provide you with a long-lasting solution to help you regain confidence and perform like you used to.
Additionally, many men including the so-called "bio hackers" are using our treatments to PREVENT the performance decline in the first place. Why wait for the inevitable when you can implement strategies to prevent the decline in the first place.

What is GAINSWave Therapy?
If you have ED or even a minor decline in sexual performance, there's a good chance you've already seen your primary care doctor. You've talked to them about the issues you're facing. And, if they're like many doctors, they prescribed you some pills and sent you on your way. Unfortunately, going this route doesn't do much to solve erectile dysfunction - you're just putting a band-aid on the problem. Plus, you're putting strange chemicals in your body via a "little blue pill" that may cause adverse side effects.
At the end of the day, you need a real-deal solution to ED, not a quick fix. The good news? A safe, non-invasive, injection-free answer to your problems exists. It's called GAINSWave therapy, and according to recent studies, it has shown an 85-92% success rate for mild to moderate cases of erectile dysfunction.
Reports from men who have used GAINSWave therapy in George Mason, VA report the following benefits:
- Stronger, Longer Lasting Erections
- Improved Sexual Pleasure
- More Blood Circulation and Flow
- Better Girth and Length
- Less Rest Needed Between Orgasms
- Enhanced Intimacy in the Bedroom

Unlike many ED treatments, you don't have to worry about surgery or drugs when you choose GAINSWave. This revolutionary treatment uses acoustic wave technology, also called pulse wave therapy, instead of surgery or pills, which helps to rebuild blood flow to the penile region, thereby boostings erectile strength and, by proxy, confidence.
But the benefits of GAINSWave don't end there. This therapy also breaks up micro plaques and boosts nitric oxide, which forms new blood vessels and collagen. That's exciting news for men suffering from Peyronie's disease, which is another condition specific to male sexual health.

What Makes GAINSWave Therapy in George Mason, VA Work?
With time, men's blood flow decreases, sensitivity isn't what it once was, and blood vessels start to get thinner or even partially or fully blocked. With GAINSWave, high-frequency, low-intensity shockwaves rejuvenate areas of the penis that have suffered with age. For instance, micro plaques are removed, new blood vessels form, and blood flow increases. According to several clinical studies, enhanced blood flow from GAINSWave translates to more sustainable, rigid erections in 75% of men.
Though males in America are only beginning to realize the benefits of GAINSWave, it's a treatment that has been used for over a decade around the world. Backed by science and proven to rejuvenate vasculature in male erections, GAINSWave works without any pain or recovery time. In fact, it's possible to pop into Proactive Wellness Centers on your lunch break for a therapy session.
Proactive Wellness Centers' GAINSWave treatments feature:
- Low-Intensity Pulse or Shockwaves
- All Natural
- No Needles
- No Pills
- No Pain
- No Surgery
- No Recovery Time
- Quick Procedures
Because this procedure is needle, surgery, and drug-free, most men don't have to suffer through costly insurance claims or unsightly scarring. With GAINSWave and our comprehensive and personalized ED treatment plans, all you need to focus on is enjoying life, knowing your erectile dysfunction is a thing of the past.
Who Are the Best Candidates for Gainswave Therapy in George Mason, VA?
If you're a man over the age of 30 and want to optimize your performance or if you are suffering a decline in this area, GAINSWave may be for you. That's even more true if other treatments never worked. For many men, those unsuccessful solutions include pills like Viagra. If prescription pills don't solve your ED problems, GAINSWave is a great option to consider. Academic studies show that shockwave therapy is successful where PDE5 inhibitors (like Viagra or Cialis) fall short.
In fact, many urologists now consider shockwave therapy the greatest revolution in ED treatment in over a decade. Even men without erectile dysfunction use GAINSWave as a preventative therapy to keep their bedroom performance strong and avoid compromised blood vessels.
Some of the key benefits of GAINSWave procedures over other ED treatments include:
- No Drugs
- Backed by Clinical Studies and Extensive Medical Research
- Vast Record of Success
- FDA-Approved for Enhanced Sexual Wellness
- Available at Proactive Wellness Centers, PLC

Other Treatments and Programs from Proactive Wellness Centers, PLC
As the premier wellness clinic in Virginia and the metro D.C. area, we provide patients with a comprehensive list of treatments to slow the process of aging and treat chronic conditions. Our vision is to provide the latest in scientifically-validated therapies, like GAINSWave therapy in George Mason, VA, for reversing the aging process, preventing chronic disease, and optimizing health.
Some of the most requested services we offer include:

Low-T Treatment for Men
While not as widely discussed as menopause is for women, andropause is very real for men just as menopause is significant for women. Our Low-T program for men focuses on the unique needs of men who are suffering from andropause or low testosterone. The Program Testosterone replacement when clinically indicated, optimization of DHEA and Pregenenolone, combined with nutritional guidance, nutritional supplementation recommendations to optimize your health. For men where Testosterone has declined, the Low-T program is a necessary complement to the Gainswave therapy.
Depending on lab results and patient goals, the program may also include peptides to help patients optimize their health and body composition. If you can identify with some of the symptoms below, you are likely experiencing low testosterone / andropause and are a candidate for laboratory testing to determine if BHRT is right for you.
Symptoms may include:
- Fatigue
- Erectile dysfunction
- Decreased stamina
- Loss of physical agility
- Decreased mental sharpness
- Prostate problems
- Insomnia

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women
Like men, women's bodies change as they grow older. Often referred to as menopause, this time in a woman's life can be stressful when the body uses energy differently, fat cells change, and hormones decline.
Many of the common symptoms and conditions associated with menopause are widely known and discussed, but there are many that are overlooked. At Proactive Wellness Centers, we've seen patients misdiagnosed with other illnesses that were actually caused by a decline in hormone levels. Our BHRT program for women focuses on the unique needs of women who are suffering from the common as well as the lesser-known symptoms of menopause.
Those symptoms may include:
- Hot Flashes
- Mood Swings
- Depression
- UTIs
- Irritability
- Anxiety
- Indigestion
- Osteoporosis
- Vertigo
- Anxiety Attacks
- Vaginal Dryness
- Fatigue

What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are also known as natural hormones. They are substances with the same chemical makeup as the hormones produced in your body. Hormones are not drugs - they occur naturally and are found in every human on earth. BHRT replaces hormones at a physiologic level that is not harmful to the body.
If you're suffering through the symptoms of menopause, taking Midol isn't going to solve any problems. Fortunately, our BHRT program for women is designed to eliminate many menopausal symptoms. That way, we give women a chance to recapture their energy levels and vitality with drugs or surgery. Contact our office today to learn more about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and how it can help you recapture the joys of your youth.
Bredesen-Protocol Strategies for Improving Brain Health
We believe that a healthy brain is paramount to overall well-being. Unfortunately, little is known about promoting brain health, lowering the risk of dementia, or stabilizing symptoms for patients experiencing early signs.
After much research, however, Dr. Lawson from Proactive Wellness Centers determined that the Bredesen protocol provides the best evidence-based approach to diagnosing and treating cognitive decline.
The approach, created by Dr. Dale Bredesen, is called ReCODE. This protocol involves multiple strategies to pinpoint specific health issues contributing to Alzheimer's Disease. The results of each strategy are measured using blood tests, dementia tests, cognitive evaluations, and other signs of overall health improvement. Now a Bredesen Certified doctor, Dr. Lawson now offers patients the full Bredesen ReCODE protocol to help them recover from debilitating illnesses like Alzheimer's.
Through this exciting approach, patients have shown dramatic improvements in cognitive function. In some cases, they achieve a reversal of symptoms and have even returned to work.
Proactive Wellness Centers' ReCODE program uses significant functional medicine experience and includes:
- Lifestyle Interventions
- Targeted Nutrients
- Therapeutic Diets
We're thrilled to add this promising Alzheimer's disease treatment for qualifying patients at Proactive Wellness Centers.

Chronic Disease Treatment
Long-term diseases like Lyme disease and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) can ruin a person's life and often leave them afraid to leave the house. To make matters worse, these chronic diseases are often initially misdiagnosed, complicating treatment and leaving the patient depressed and hopeless. And while some medical prescriptions can help, many chronic disease sufferers live without finding true relief.
At Proactive Wellness Centers, our innovative doctors have developed a comprehensive treatment program to address chronic diseases like CIRS and Lyme disease. Generally, our Chronic Disease Treatment follows SSRP protocols as defined below:
- Stop the progression of the disease while strengthening the immune system
- Stabilize patients by balancing hormones and restoring energy
- Reverse cellular, mitochondrial, and other damages caused by chronic diseases, based on lab markers and/or symptomatic expression
- Prevent further development of the chronic disease processes
Our SSRP protocol provides patients with a promising program based largely on the emerging bodies of evidence in the chronic disease space. This evidence is supported by peer-reviewed medical journals, clinical studies, and even double-blind placebo-controlled studies.

When choosing chronic disease treatments for patients, our team of doctors and clinicians focus on safety and efficacy before anything else. Typical therapies associated with our chronic disease treatment programs include:
- IV Vitamin Therapy
- Targeted Nutritional Supplements
- Compassionate Care and Personalized Service from Qualified Doctors
As an integrative practice, we use conventional medications when indicated, especially in cases of underlying co-infections and other areas where traditional medication offers the best course of treatment.
If you're at your wit's end living with a chronic disease, call Proactive Wellness Centers today. Our innovative treatments and therapies may be the key you need to unlock a new, healthy life.

‘Pump up the economy’: Elite college women’s hoop tourney draws 25,000 fans to Wilmington

Standing outside Wilmington’s Chase Fieldhouse on Thursday morning, coach Faythe Daniels and her Charter School of New Castle girls middle school team could hardly contain their glee.
They’d be watching big time college women’s basketball, with Philadelphia’s La Salle University facing George Mason University (Va.) in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
At stake for the winner of the 15-team Division I tourney is one of 68 coveted spots in the upcoming NCAA tournament. But for Daniels and her squad, and the city of Wilmington, the event that runs through Sunday is a title unto itself.
“We just completed our season and we’re just using this championship as a celebration as well as just to promote going to college,’’ said Daniels, the school counselor. “These girls like to play basketball and it’s just showing what a student athlete looks like on the court and just to have some fun.”
As for the event being held in Wilmington, just a few miles from her school, Daniels said, “It’s a great thing. I’m glad they brought it.”
The event is being held at the sparkling multi-purpose sports facility in an area that is steadily transforming from an industrial strip once dominated by scrapyards, vehicle collision shops, used tire centers, and an oil recycling facility.
Now it’s where the Philadelphia 76ers’ G-League team the Blue Coats play their home games. But the space is also used for youth sports training and for local, regional, and national tourneys for club soccer and lacrosse, as well as high school basketball games and other contests. In 2019 NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson visited as part of an event promoting historically Black colleges and universities.
The four-year-old facility had 1.5 million visitors and users last year and is on track for 2 million this year, said Steve Cavalier, general manager of the fieldhouse and BPG Sports, which operates the venue.
Cavalier said he expects about 25,000 fans to attend the tournament that concludes Sunday. Teams are coming from as far north as Massachusetts, as far west as Illinois, and as far south as North Carolina.
“It’s huge,” Cavalier said before Thursday morning’s game as fans streamed into the fieldhouse. “It brings a ton of people to the city. Every hotel room is sold out. They’re eating at the restaurants. They’re going out to the bars.”
He noted that Saturday’s semifinals will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network and ESPNU will televise Sunday’s final.
The Atlantic 10 tourney isn’t nearly as prominent as the BMW Golf Championship held in August that brought 130,000 spectators to Wilmington Country Club over four days. But Cavalier said “it’s a big big deal having an elite, high-level women’s basketball tournament’’ in Wilmington. “We’re talking about millions of dollars that this will generate just in a couple of days.’’
Tygee Washington of Westchester, N.Y., drove down for the day to watch because his sister, Niki, is George Mason’s assistant coach. He brought his son Tygee, Jr. and daughter Tristyn.
“I think it’s great,’’ Washington said of having the tournament in a smaller city like Wilmington, which has 70,000 residents. “Pump up the economy for the day or week.”
Frank Benton of Philadelphia has been to Blue Coats games and came to Wilmington because his sister Kim Brady is director of operations for La Salle’s team.
Benton said the Chase Fieldhouse benefits the community in myriad ways, beyond big events.
“You build it and they will come,’’ he said. “All the kids get a chance to get off the street and play their sport of choice. It’s a nice venue.”
Inside the 2,500-seat arena Thursday before the first of four games, the Green Machine band from George Mason belted out music, taking turns with Delaware’s Smyrna High School, which represented La Salle.

Coaty, the Blue Coats mascot, clowned with groups of young students from a handful of Delaware schools in attendance.
On the court, La Salle guard Amy Jacobs, a native of Australia, took a break from warming up to say she was delighted to be playing less than 40 miles from campus.
“I love it,’’ Jacobs said over the din of the bands and the cheers of fans. “I think it’s a huge advantage to be so close to home. We don’t have all the struggles that come with traveling on the road. So now we’re down the road. It’s great.”
Asked if eighth-seeded La Salle would triumph over ninth-seeded George Mason,’’ Jacobs didn’t hesitate.
“Oh yeah,’’ she said.
Though only a few hundred fans were on hand for the morning game, raucous cheers filled the arena during the hard-fought contest and the bands kept up their steady beat.
In the end, George Mason prevailed, 64-58.
But for Wilmington, the outcome of the game isn’t the only score that matters.

Huskies Take The Mat At MAC Championships This Weekend

Wrestling | March 2
FAIRFAX, Va. – The Northern Illinois University wrestling team has arrived in Fairfax, Va. and is ready to compete for a Mid-American Conference Championship. The action begins tomorrow (March 3) with the opening round at 11 a.m. CT while Saturday's action commences at 10:30 a.m. at EagleBank Arena on the campus of George Mason University.
Huskie head coach Ryan Ludwig has had the team working on the basics in preparation for the postseason tournament. Nothing fancy, just the core fundamentals of wrestling.
"We're working on fundamentals; getting our basics down, our muscle memory, and having confidence in all of our positions," said Ludwig.
Ludwig wants his team to be on the attack and shoot first. A philosophy that the Huskies have held true all season long.
"That's really what it takes. We like to attack; we like to get up there and create action. I think in terms of waiting around versus going out and creating action, we're a better action team. So, we've just been working on our attacks first,"
When the action starts, each Huskie has the goal of having his hand raised. The team's goal? Winning its first MAC Championship since 1985.
"Our guys set their goals at the highest level. They want to win a MAC Championship as individuals and as a team. I think if that's not your goal, then that's something you need to think about. Our guys have the right goal and the right mindset."
After placing at last year's championships, Jaivon Jones, Anthony Gibson, Bryce West, and Terrese Aaron will look to reach the podium again. NIU veteran and defending MAC Champion Izzak Olejnik has a similar mindset as he aims for back-to-back titles at 165 lbs.
"I definitely want to dominate," said Olejnik. "Last year, being able to win that MAC Championship, I want to one-up that. I want to dominate through the tournament, every match, every second. I want to come away with the MAC Championship again, a team championship, and ultimately one thing I'm striving for is to get that 'W' at the tournament."
In anticipation of the complete bracket, which will be released tonight, five Huskies made the MAC's pre-seeds. Stay tuned to NIU Wresting on Twitter for bracket updates.
No. 5 Blake West - 125 lbs. No. 4 Lucian Brink - 133 lbs. No. 6 Anthony Gibson - 157 lbs. No. 1 Izzak Olejnik - 165 lbs. No. 6 Matt Zuber - 184 lbs.
