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.
The Proactive Wellness Center Difference
Our programs are all about reversing and slowing the aging process, preventing disease, and treating chronically ill patients. We utilize a three-pronged approach:

We consider every individual as physiologically unique. As such, we don't subscribe to a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Instead, our programs focus on a customized approach, leveraging genetics and advanced testing, utilizing advanced therapeutics like Gainswave and addressing risk factors that, if avoided or modified, could have beneficial effects for reducing many chronic conditions that men suffer from year-round.
Our vision is to provide the latest in scientifically-validated therapies for reversing the aging process, preventing chronic disease, and optimizing health.

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 Lincolnia, 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 Lincolnia, 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 Lincolnia, 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 Lincolnia, 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.

Fairfax community reacts to Youngkin's request for probe of scholarship announcement delay
Nick Minockhttps://wset.com/news/local/fairfax-county-public-schools-virginia-education-national-merit-awards-glenn-youngkin-jason-miyares-investigation
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (7News) — Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is urging Attorney General Jason Miyares to investigate potential civil rights violations at a Fairfax County High School.
In a blistering letter, Governor Youngkin tells AG Miyares ”I am stunned by news reports alleging that information about National Merit Awards was withheld from students at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology until after important deadlines for college scholarships had passed.”
7News brought you this story first last week.
“I believe this failure may have caused material harm to those students and their parents,” Youngkin said Tuesday.
The governor’s request is coming at a time when the Fairfax County school board and superintendent are emphasizing equity and equal outcomes in schools.
Gov. Youngkin urges AG Miyares to launch investigation into Fairfax County schools
“This whole notion of equity in education, equal outcomes, is just nonsense,” said Suresh Shenoy.
Businessman Suresh Shenoy wants the principal of TJ to be fired.
Over the years, Shenoy has been involved in the development of TJ, and he says merit and hard work must be recognized.
“I think it’s of paramount importance that we look at what is happening at TJ as something that we should nip in the bud before it becomes a national phenomenon. It’s already getting there,” said Shenoy.
“If people are unwilling to stand up to those who are crying out for equity, etc. then, yes, America is going the wrong way,” added Shenoy.
Youngkin’s letter mentions the investigation he launched in Loudoun County and without that investigation. Youngkin says the school board and school administrators would not have been held accountable “for deceiving the very Virginians they serve.”
Youngkin added, “just as Virginians deserve answers and assurance that the safety of their children will never be comprised, they also deserve transparency when it comes to student achievements.”
Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears applauded Youngkin’s request for an investigation.
“New year, same Hell. What in the world is going on? And that’s what this investigation that the Governor has called for is going to determine,” Earle-Sears told 7News.
Earle-Sears is also slamming Fairfax County Public Schools for how much taxpayer funds the school system is spending on equity consultants.
“What we do know, possibly alleged, is that the taxpayers money, half a million dollars were used to find an equity company," Earle-Sears said. "And the guarantee would be that this company would guarantee the outcome for everyone. Equal outcome. Folks, that doesn't happen anywhere in life, nobody is guaranteed an equal outcome. What we want to guarantee is equal opportunity. That's what the American Dream is all about.”
FCPS sent 7News this statement:
“We are aware of Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s comments today and we share his desire to get to the facts surrounding the delay in notification of National Merit Commendations at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology for 2022. Indeed, we have initiated a third-party, independent investigation into this matter. Our preliminary understanding is that the delay this fall was a unique situation due to human error. The investigation will continue to examine our records in further detail and we will share key findings with our community. In addition, Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid is meeting with families this evening to listen to their concerns. Should the Virginia Attorney General’s office initiate an investigation, FCPS stands ready to work with our partners at the state level.
"As a reminder, once this error was brought to light, school staff reached out to colleges to update records where commended scholars had applied.”

The Joint opened in March 2022 at 6244-E Little River Turnpike in the Plaza at Landmark and more recently at 9538 Old Keene Mill Road in Burke Town Plaza.
There are more than 200,000 eligible individuals and their families currently estimated to reside in Northern Virginia, says Justin Vélez-Hagan, owner of the two locations.
“As a veteran myself, I know firsthand the toll that active-duty service can take on the body, as well as the limited care that military healthcare services offer,” says Vélez-Hagan.

“For many, healthcare options appear limited and, unfortunately, addictive opioids or surgery end up being the path chosen to relieve and treat acute or chronic pain,” he says. “At our clinics, we want to offer an affordable and convenient alternative to those who served this country, without the need for dangerous procedures or unnecessary side effects.”
Unfortunately, Veterans Administration health care and TRICARE only cover chiropractic services in rare and limited circumstances, Vélez-Hagan says.
Regular chiropractic care can help alleviate back, neck, and other joint pain and intense migraine headaches. It can also increase joint motion and coordination across the age spectrum.
“Research continues to demonstrate how everyone – from growing children to working adults to active seniors – can benefit from regular chiropractic care,” Vélez-Hagan says. “The Joint Chiropractic has made it its mission to alleviate pain and help all patients move toward a healthier lifestyle, at a price similar to most insurance co-pays.”
“There is a good reason why nearly every professional sports team has its own chiropractor. Chiropractic treatment doesn’t just keep the body healthy – it improves its function.”

It’s our weekly trip around the region. This time, we’ll visit Lincolnia Hills in Alexandria, Va., and the Kent neighborhood of Northwest D.C.
Lincolnia Hills, Va.
Kathy Hoekstra lives in northern Virginia, just west of Interstate 395. And she says that her neighborhood of Lincolnia Hills in Alexandria has remained immune to urbanization, even though it’s still located inside the Beltway. “It’s all basically single family homes, so we have no apartments or commercial buildings.”
Hoekstra says that government employees built up Lincolnia HIlls in the mid-50s. “But obviously, some of those people have passed on, and their homes have been bought by new families coming in,” she says. “So we have Hispanics and African Americans and a whole group of everybody else across the spectrum. So federal workers, white collar workers, blue collar workers, it’s a very mixed group, which is wonderful.”
According to Hoekstra, Lincolnia Hills has a mixed group of wildlife as well. “We also have a stream that flows down in this area. We have deer and raccoon and foxes, and a lot of wildlife, which I don’t think too many people expect within the Beltway, but we have a lot of them.”
Hoekstra believes that Lincolnia Hills is a unique neighborhood in the Washington area. “It’s a wonderful neighborhood, and it’s a very peaceful, quiet neighborhood inside the Beltway, which I think is somewhat unusual.”
Kent, D.C.
Connie Carter lives in the Kent neighborhood of northwest D.C., a community located near the Potomac River.
While Kent primarily saw development in the 1930s, Carter says the neighborhood today is an eclectic one. “The architecture itself is a mishmash, and so I think it attracts a variety of people,” she says. “The key elementary school is located in Kent on Dana Place down near MacArthur, so there are a large number of families and small children as well.”
According to Carter, Kent isn’t just eclectic. It’s historical. “Chain Bridge Road is not only the oldest or second oldest street in Washington, D.C., but is by far the oldest street in Kent,” she says.
Chain Bridge Road allowed trucks to go down to the canal and cut through the woods. “I believe there was a railroad or a streetcar at the bottom of the hill, so it was a pretty significant bypass road.”
Carter says that Kent’s location is a major perk. “You can live in northwest Washington and still be in Bethesda, out at Tyson’s Corner and at Reagan Airport and Georgetown all within 15 or 10 minutes. So it’s highly convenient.”
