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 Vienna, 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 Vienna, 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 Vienna, 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 Vienna, 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.

Charm of Vienna’s Dunn Loring Woods has ‘stood the test of time’

When she was a child growing up in quiet and vernal Dunn Loring Woods, Sheila Carney loved to leave the orderly housing development for the wilds of the overgrown railroad track just beyond. She and her friends would roam along the tracks and commune with the wildlife, feeling like daring adventurers.
“It was like Tom Sawyer,” she recalled.
Today, that abandoned railroad track has been replaced by the Washington and Old Dominion Trail, beloved by runners, walkers and cyclists, who can cover 45 miles end-to-end. But the 1960s-era ramblers, colonials and craftsmen homes largely remain standing, albeit with additions that tell of growing families and expanding dreams.
Located by Vienna, Va., about 14 miles west of Washington, Dunn Loring Woods was developed by Yeonas, a family-owned construction company responsible for up to 14,000 homes still standing in Northern Virginia. Today, according to the Dunn Loring Woods Civic Association, the neighborhood includes 550 homes on a 300-acre tract. Established in 1965, shortly after development was completed, the civic association still publishes a neighborhood newsletter, The Lantern; hosts a community forum for residents; and organizes events including a popular neighborhood-wide yard sale.

THE WASHINGTON POST
Christine Kluttz moved into the neighborhood with her husband, Bobby, in 2011. She said they had started looking for homes in Arlington, where they’d lived in an apartment, but found themselves expanding their search westward due to steep home prices. She didn’t love the 1960s-era split-foyer design of the house they ultimately purchased — it wasn’t ideal for the three children they’d eventually have — but she did love the warmth of the neighborhood and the amenities it offered, including the trail, a community pool beloved by residents and safe, walkable streets. Stenwood Elementary School, where all her children went, is a short walk from Kluttz’s home, and that walk, to drop off and pick up kids, has become a special tradition over the years.
“Everybody walking together and meeting up on the playground before and after school, it just feels like a really nice community,” she said.
Since the Kluttzes arrived in the neighborhood, the appeal of its location has deepened. The Mosaic District in Merrifield, just across Interstate 66, has developed into a destination spot for retail and gourmet dining. And the neighborhood has filled with more young families like theirs as some of the original owners have downsized or moved on.
Barry Schwartz, a home builder who lives in Dunn Loring Woods and builds mainly in nearby Vienna, has lived in two homes in the neighborhood: a raised rambler his family felt lucky to find in 2003 as the housing market around D.C. heated up and a two-story Colonial he built himself in 2012. He hasn’t built many other houses in his own neighborhood, he said, because many Dunn Loring Woods residents have preferred to build additions onto their Yeonas-built homes.
While the $436,000 Schwartz paid for his first Dunn Loring Woods house wouldn’t go as far today, the neighborhood remains a good place to find competitively priced single-family homes with nicely sized yards. Of the 28 homes sold last year in the neighborhood, the lowest-priced was a $695,000 three-bedroom, two-bathroom rambler; the highest-priced was a $1.7 million four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom new-construction colonial.
Among the single active and two “coming soon” listings in the neighborhood, list prices range from $749,000 to $1.85 million.
When he moved into the neighborhood, Schwartz immediately got a taste for its friendliness and welcoming attitude: The man who sold him the house presented him with a detailed hand-drawn map of his corner, complete with the names and telephone numbers of all his neighbors. He also received an invitation to the seller’s going-away party, where he met many of them.
“Our corner was a lot of people who really liked each other and got together for party nights and things,” he said.
Schwartz’s favorite times in the neighborhood were the big weather events that would bring residents out of their homes and into the front yard and streets: snowstorms or drenching rainstorms that would cause Long Branch creek to rise. When it snowed, he’d grab his snowblower and head down the streets, clearing sidewalks and driveways. His two children grew up in Dunn Loring Woods, attended the local schools and spent summer days at the Dunn Loring Swim Club. Now that they’ve headed to college and beyond, he’s enjoyed seeing neighbors’ families grow in the same way: Children who weren’t even born when he arrived in Dunn Loring Woods are now driving and attending Marshall High School.
“It’s nice, it’s fun,” he said. “It does make you feel old.”
Carney, who grew up in Dunn Loring Woods and is now a real estate agent who sells homes in the neighborhood, still relishes the “classic Americana” experiences of her childhood there, such as going on all-day bicycling adventures with her friends and sledding down the U-shaped Stonewall Drive when it snowed. As the surrounding region has developed, she likes that Dunn Loring Woods has held onto much of its original look and charm.
“To me, [Dunn Loring Woods] has stood the test of time,” Carney said. “It’s still as appealing as it was.”
Boundaries: Dunn Loring Woods is bounded to the west by Cedar Lane; to the south by I-66; and to the east by Gallows Road. Opinions differ on the neighborhood’s northern boundary, but many identify Stonewall Drive as the line between Dunn Loring Woods and the adjacent Stonewall Manor neighborhood.
Schools: Stenwood Elementary School; Thoreau Middle School; Marshall High School.
Transportation: The neighborhood is served by the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro stop on the Orange Line, at the intersection of Gallows Road and I-66. The 462 bus also stops along Cedar Lane, and the 402 bus stops along Gallows Road.

He has been the varsity baseball coach at Madison for 28 seasons and previously coached football for seven seasons. He has led Madison to over 40 championships, including three state titles and eight times nationally ranked in the top 25 of all high school baseball teams in the country.

VIENNA, VA — As the Fairfax County Health Department regularly inspects restaurants in the Town of Vienna, we continue to look at the latest inspection results.
The health department's environmental health staff inspect over 5,200 restaurants and other retail food service establishments in Fairfax County and cities of Falls Church and Fairfax to ensure safe food handling practices are followed. This includes proper sanitation, food storage and preparation, and adequate kitchen facilities. Aside from restaurants, staff inspect child care centers, hospitals, school cafeterias, and temporary food service vendors at festivals.
Residents can search for a specific restaurant or browse a map of inspected locations through the online database. The health department cautions residents that multiple inspection reports should be used to evaluate a restaurant rather than a single report.
This week's report focuses on September reports around the Town of Vienna. Of note, Pizza Vienna and Anita's New Mexican Style Food had nine violations each.

House Of Delegates Races On Ballot In NoVA: Candidates, How To Vote
