Cultural Context and Parkinson's

There is ample evidence that shows that including exercise, good nutrition, socialization, and more can help people with Parkinson’s manage their symptoms, improve mood, and live well for many years. Yet exercise, eating, and social habits look vastly different for different people, and without addressing this cultural context, accessibility barriers can keep people from integrating these practices to improve their quality of life. In this episode Dr. Indu Subramanian and Dr. Greg Pontone dig into what it means to apply a cultural context and how the Parkinson’s sector can implement changes to support more people in their pursuit of living well.
