With the latest announcement, Dr. Lawson and her team at Proactive Wellness Centers aim to draw attention to how devastating cognitive diseases can be. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as 5.8 million Americans were living with Alzheimer’s disease in 2020, and this number is projected to triple by 2060. Further statistics provided by the World Health Organization show that around 47 million people suffer from some form of dementia worldwide.
The risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases increases with age, and while some forgetfulness is a normal part of getting older, severe cognitive decline can cause serious disruptions to daily life, says Dr. Lawson. Although there is currently no cure for any form of dementia, Dr. Lawson and her team can slow and stabilize the progression of the disease by combining the methods outlined in the Bredesen Protocol with Proactive Wellness Centers’ holistic approach to medicine.
Because genetics, history of head trauma, mitochondrial damage, and toxin exposure have been identified as potential additional factors that lead to cognitive decline, Proactive Wellness Centers can help patients take preventative measures through detoxification, proper gut health, and other lifestyle changes. The clinic also has effective methods to alleviate Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, or CIRS, an illness that has been shown to reduce cognitive function if left untreated.
As a Bredesen-certified doctor, Dr. Lawson can also provide a treatment plan that follows the Reversal of Cognitive Decline program denoted in the Bredesen Protocol, which has been clinically proven to reverse the symptoms of dementia. Being a functional medicine approach, this program involves therapeutic diets, targeted nutrients that improve brain function, and extensive lifestyle interventions, and Dr. Lawson will adjust the treatment plan based on comprehensive lab assessments of the patient’s overall health.
The introduction of the newest treatment plan reflects Proactive Wellness Centers’ devotion to helping Americans achieve healthier living through individualistic, holistic care. The practice remains one of the leading figures in functional and integrative medicine in Northern Virginia and surrounding areas.
