Excellent info and easy to digest. The narrator mentions “their research” a couple times. What group is this associated with? Thanks for sharing’

I wonder if the timing of the exercise in relation to timing of taking Levodopa is relevant?

In my opinion , it is relevant.The best thing to do after taking Ldopa is to walk and move for optimal effects.
