Eating Better for Parkinson’s: A Nutritional Starter Guide

Eating Better for Parkinson’s: A Nutritional Starter Guide

This book is a response to a frustration I heard from the Parkinsonâ€™s community. The people I spoke to wanted to know if there were things they should be eating (or NOT eating) that might impact their disease. In order to generate a guide for what a relevant diet for people with Parkinsonâ€™s would be, I combed the medical and nutrition literature for foods that had a specific effect on Parkinsonâ€™s.

Iâ€™ve been working and volunteering in the Parkinsonâ€™s community for many years. As an immunologist, my Parkinsonâ€™s focus was centered on neuroinflammation. I had previously studied the role of diet in inflammation, and I suspected that diet could play a role in brain inflammation.

The number of research articles published on Parkinsonâ€™s and nutrition in the last few years has increased by a factor of 10.Â Yet, when my friends with Parkinsonâ€™s started hunting for information about how nutrition might impact their disease, they were both excited and disappointed. Most of that information Â was completely incomprehensible or unavailable to a non-scientist.

â€©â€©Iâ€™ve been sharing this information at wellness retreats and conferences, including the World Parkinsonâ€™s Congress 2016. Whenever I speak, people tell me that they want a written document that they can refer to. This is that resource. â€©
