Dr. Lawson is a board-certified anesthesiologist and diplomate in Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine with the American Board of Anti-Aging Regenerative Medicine (ABAARM).

Dr. Lawson specializes in stress management, nutrition, fitness, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and the role of spirituality as a means to health and wellness.

Proactive Wellness Centers’ philosophy is to emphasize client education by providing knowledge, instilling prevention as a means for long-term wellness, and using rejuvenation programs to create vitality.

Clients at the Proactive Wellness Centers are provided knowledge to be able to navigate their health issues intelligently. Prevention is emphasized and assessed and lastly, physicians assist clients with a rejuvenation program designed to retard aging.

Programs are designed to suit the specific needs of each client. While the Western medical pathology-centered model is to determine what illness or disease the client may have and to prescribe drugs to remedy it, the Proactive Wellness Centers provides patients with a strategy for anti-aging treatment plans and functional medicine to cultivate this level of wellness.

Towards this end, the Proactive Wellness Centers offer three core services that make up the Anti-Aging Program:

• Anti-Aging Medical Assessment
• Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Program

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes Programs

First, all patients are given a one-hour consultation that includes a comprehensive review of medical, family history, detailed history of the patient’s current nutrition, exercise and lifestyle habits. A blood test, saliva test, and hair or urine analysis may also be conducted.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Program (BHRT)

For people suffering anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, andropausal symptoms, weight management and other common health challenges, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy may be recommended. Clients are administered FDA-approved bioidentical hormones. BHRT can correct hormonal imbalances to provide clients with more lean muscle mass, improved memory, heart health benefits, renewed sex drive, and improved skin tone and appearance.

Metabolic rejuvenation programs (MRP) are formulated to help clients manage their weight. Clients are assessed for brain chemical imbalances, hypothyroidism, sleep deprivation, hormone imbalances, and other criteria to see what can be done to help these clients shed weight permanently. Individuals who are morbidly obese are referred to another practice. No weight loss medications are prescribed. Instead, a nutrition and exercise plan is created, as is a strategy to handle stress effectively.
