🪩 Friday night at the Disco for “Celebrate” benefiting the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation.

I had such a groovy time as the event emcee alongside disco king and auctioneer Matt Lorch.

Parkinson’s is a disease that’s impacted our family directly, so this is a cause that’s near and dear to my heart. Thanks to the @nwparkinsons for having me.🪩 #Celebrate #NorthwestParkinsonsFoundation #Disco #KOMONews #Fundraiser

A new study shows Pro21 diet may slow Parkinson's progression, outperforming MIND and Mediterranean diets. It could be prescription-level advice! #ParkinsonsDisease #Pro21Diet #Neurology #Health#DietaryTherapy #MedicalNews #BrainHealth #Wellness #fyp

Shocked by the number of hereditary hemochromatosis diagnoses. Iron overload is inflammatory & reversible! Exciting, but seeing ferritin at 1200 makes you wonder how long it's been there. #parkinsons #Iron#Health #MedicalFacts #ReversibleDisease #Wellness #HealthEducation #fyp

For Parkinson's patients, glutathione is a game-changer. We're 60-80% depleted of dopamine by diagnosis, and 40-60% low in glutathione. This primary CNS antioxidant helps clear oxidative stress, improving motor symptoms and UPDRS scores.
