Is your diet working as hard as you are to manage Parkinson’s?

In this episode of Live Parkinson’s – Live an Exceptional Life, we dive deep into the MIND Diet 2.0—the 2026 gold standard for Parkinson’s nutrition. We aren’t just talking about "eating healthy"; we are exploring the latest clinical breakthroughs that show how specific foods can seal the gut-brain barrier and protect your dopamine-producing neurons.

We break down the three "Brain Fuel Pillars" that you can implement today to reduce neuro-inflammation and improve your daily mobility.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The Power of Purple: How anthocyanins in berries act as a "neuro-shield" (2025 Zonulin research).
• The Green Highway: Why leafy greens are essential nitric oxide boosters for blood flow to the Basal Ganglia.
• The 30-60 Rule: The vital strategy for timing protein intake to ensure maximum Levodopa absorption and fewer "Off" periods.
• Gut-Brain Health: New 2026 insights into reducing "leaky gut" to slow PD progression.

Struggling with balance when walking and talking at the same time? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

In this episode of Live Parkinson’s – Live an Exceptional Life, we explore dual-task training for Parkinson’s, a research-backed exercise approach that helps improve balance, gait, walking confidence, and fall prevention.

Dual-tasking—doing a physical movement and a mental task at the same time—can be especially challenging with Parkinson’s. But the good news is this skill is trainable. Backed by neuroscience and real-world experience, this episode breaks down why dual-tasking is harder with Parkinson’s and how targeted exercise can retrain the brain through neuroplasticity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What dual-task training is and why it matters for Parkinson’s
• How Parkinson’s affects balance, walking, and attention
• What clinical research says about dual-task exercise
• Simple, safe dual-task exercises you can start today
• How to reduce fall risk and improve confidence while moving
• How just 5–10 minutes a day can make a difference

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson’s for years, this episode provides practical, actionable strategies to help you move with more confidence and live a better quality of life.

Anxiety affects nearly 40% of people living with Parkinson’s, but most don’t realize why it happens — or what they can do to manage it. In this episode, we break down the real science behind Parkinson’s‑related anxiety, including how changes in dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine reshape the brain’s stress response.

You’ll learn the different types of anxiety common in Parkinson’s — from OFF‑period anxiety to rumination and panic — and discover research‑supported strategies that truly help. We explore the role of exercise, CBT, medication timing, and practical daily tools that calm the nervous system and restore confidence.

This episode is designed to help you understand that anxiety in Parkinson’s is not a personal failing — it’s a neurological symptom, and there are effective ways to take back control.

⭐ What You’ll Learn

• Why anxiety is so common in Parkinson’s
• How dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine shape emotional regulation
• The difference between generalized anxiety, OFF‑period anxiety, panic, and rumination
• How exercise changes brain chemistry and reduces anxiety
• Why CBT is one of the most effective non‑medication treatments
• Practical, actionable steps you can start today

Important Disclaimer

If you are experiencing anxiety that is impacting your daily life, please talk with your healthcare provider. They can help you identify the right tools, treatments, and support to manage your anxiety safely and effectively.
