Learn how to spot Parkinson's symptoms years before diagnosis and deep dive into accessible lifestyle and diet changes that the research suggests slow PD progression. Naturopathic Doctor Samantha Evans will breakdown how certain nutrients and botanicals impact inflammation, the gut microbiome, and more, as well as strategies for reducing ultra-processed food consumption. Samantha Evans, ND received her undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology and Chemistry at Western New England College in Massachusetts. She went on to pursue a position as a phlebotomist which sparked an interest in chronic disease. It was there that she decided to pursue a medical degree at Bastyr University and spent time as a research assistant in Parkinson’s Disease for Laurie Mischley, ND, PhD, MPH.

Do I want to know? Pros and cons Parkinson’s disease research seeks to diagnose the disease as early as possible - before symptoms appear in what is called the prodromal phase. However, this raises ethical questions about whether people want to know their future risk of Parkinson’s and, if so, how this information should be given. Learn from researcher Eva Schaeffer, MD who will discuss the many factors at play, what the research indicates, and how medical professionals evaluate the potential impact on personal circumstances when making an early diagnosis. Eva Schaeffer, MD is a neurologist and Deputy Head of the AG at the UKSH University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein in Germany.

Demoralization is a sense of profound hopelessness and loss of motivation or purpose that is often misclassified as depression or apathy. In Parkinson's, demoralization can have a profound impact on quality of life, making additional research to clarify diagnostic criteria and evidence-based treatments a necessity. Learn directly from two experts, Indu Subramanian, MD and Bradley McDaniels, PhD, who co-authored a recent study on demoralization in idiopathic Parkinson's. Join us to discover their findings, as well as their recommendations for discussing demoralization with your doctor. Indu Subramanian, MD is a Movement Disorder Specialist practicing at UCLA Neurological Services and is Director of the Southwest VA Medical Center Parkinson’s Disease Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (PADRECC) in Los Angeles, California. Bradley McDaniels, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Rehabilitation and Health Services department of the College of Health and Public Service at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX. ** CONNECT WITH US ** Website: https://www.pmdalliance.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PMD.ALLIANCE/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pmdalliance/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/parkinson-&-movement-disorder-alliance/ Get virtual event invites: https://pmdalliance.activehosted.com/f/4 Join an online support group: https://www.pmdalliance.org/resilience-online-support-groups/ ** ARE YOU A CARE PARTNER?

Perspectives from patients, care partners, and neurologists Research has shown that families impacted by Parkinson's disease benefit from proactive guidance around disease progression, but many don't receive this and enter the later stages without vital emotional and practical preparations. In her recent preliminary study, Jennifer Corcoran, MD, sought to gather the experiences, preferences, and perspectives of people with Parkinson's, care partners, and neurologists surrounding guidance about anticipated PD progression. Discover her initial findings and how they could be applied in your life and community! Jennifer Corcoran, MD is Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center Neuropalliative Care Clinic in Rochester, NY.

Those consuming 15+ points on the diet had a 43% slower rate of progression over the following decade, based on a study of over 3,000 individuals. Join us to learn directly from one of the study’s researchers, Laurie Mischley, ND PhD MPH. She’ll share how to implement their findings in your life, including which food choices matter most, recommended labs tests, supplements worth considering, and more! Laurie Mischley, ND PhD MPH studied naturopathic medicine (ND) at Bastyr University and epidemiology (MPH) and nutritional sciences (PhD) at the University of Washington and she maintains appointments at both Universities. Her work is focused on identifying the nutritional requirements unique to individuals with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Dr. Mischley maintains a clinical practice at Seattle Integrative Medicine focused on nutrition and neurological health of patients with Parkinsonism.
