Living with Parkinson’s

5 Supplements + 2 Sleep Hacks That Changed My Parkinson’s Routine


Listen Later

In this follow-up to Episode 5, I’m answering one of the most asked questions I got: "What else do you take alongside your Parkinson’s meds?" In this episode, I break down the five over-the-counter supplements that I’ve personally added to my daily routine—and the two sleep tools I wish I started using years ago. Spoiler: one of them involves spraying my feet!

💊 From Vitamin D3 and B12 to magnesium spray and light therapy alarms, I’ll walk you through what’s helped me manage brain fog, sleep better, and feel more balanced. This is real, practical stuff—not magic pills. Just my honest experience, shared in hopes it helps someone else out there.

Stick around to the end—I’ll share the one non-supplement thing that made a huge difference and the one regret I have about it. 👀
