56 min video with slides & graphs.

A few take aways from her data;

1) the things we do affects the rate of our progression.

2) the more exercise we do, the slower we progress & exercising twice a week does not count. Must be minimum 3 times.

3) neural plasticity, that is, growing new neurons, requires leaving your comfort zone.

4) loneliness is more impactful on progression than is exercise. (Therefore, our Zoom meetings slows progression.)

5) plant based diet matters

6) 2 large studies show Mediterranean diet improves depression and apathy and is statistically associated with slower progression. Once you have Parkinson's, the more dairy you eat, the faster you progress. (Boo-hoo. I do so LUV my chocolate covered ice cream bars.) While you are at it, drop cheap cheese, canned fruits and vegetables, soda, and, yes, red meat, processed meat and yogurt.

7) calcium supplements may be a no-no.

8) and so on and so forth.

This video was a game changer for me about 3 years ago. Everyone with parkinson should see this with very close attention. So clear and informative.

For anyone who would like more information, Dr. Mischley has an online 'PD School' course that provides even more information on a variety of topics.

Disclaimer: I am a fan of Dr. Mischley and also a patient of hers.

Hello, I have a appointment with Dr. Mischley in March. I have a little trepidation about it. Do you know why she is against probiotics? Her most recent talk she had all meat except fish on the “no” list. Do you know why? No chicken? I was a little surprised. I appreciate your help. Being her patient is a big out of pocket investment.
