Anxiety affects nearly 40% of people living with Parkinson’s, but most don’t realize why it happens — or what they can do to manage it. In this episode, we break down the real science behind Parkinson’s‑related anxiety, including how changes in dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine reshape the brain’s stress response.

You’ll learn the different types of anxiety common in Parkinson’s — from OFF‑period anxiety to rumination and panic — and discover research‑supported strategies that truly help. We explore the role of exercise, CBT, medication timing, and practical daily tools that calm the nervous system and restore confidence.

This episode is designed to help you understand that anxiety in Parkinson’s is not a personal failing — it’s a neurological symptom, and there are effective ways to take back control.

⭐ What You’ll Learn

• Why anxiety is so common in Parkinson’s
• How dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine shape emotional regulation
• The difference between generalized anxiety, OFF‑period anxiety, panic, and rumination
• How exercise changes brain chemistry and reduces anxiety
• Why CBT is one of the most effective non‑medication treatments
• Practical, actionable steps you can start today

Important Disclaimer

If you are experiencing anxiety that is impacting your daily life, please talk with your healthcare provider. They can help you identify the right tools, treatments, and support to manage your anxiety safely and effectively.

Is 2026 the year we finally stop Parkinson’s in its tracks? In this high-energy,  episode of Live Parkinson’s – Live an Exceptional Life, I’m pulling back the curtain on the most historic year in Parkinson’s clinical research. We are moving beyond just managing symptoms with Levodopa and stepping into the era of Precision Medicine.

What happens when your identity, memory, and sense of self are stripped away by an invisible injury?

In this episode of Live Parkinson’s Live an Exceptional Life, host Chris Kustanbauter sits down with William Person, a former Team USA bobsledder. William spent nine years hurtling down ice tracks at 90 mph, enduring G-forces that most people will never experience. While it looked like a dream career, the hidden toll of "Sled Head"—a series of micro-concussions and brain inflammation—led William into a dark battle with CTE-like symptoms, severe depression, and a "fog" that lasted for a decade.

William shares the raw reality of his journey: from not recognizing his own girlfriend to praying for an end to his suffering. He also reveals the breakthrough that saved his life—Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The "Sled Head" Phenomenon: The brutal reality of high G-forces and "shaking baby syndrome" in professional sports.
• Invisible Symptoms: Why brain injuries and Parkinson’s often share the same "hidden" struggles, like brain fog, confusion, and memory loss.
• The Power of HBOT: How oxygen therapy can reduce brain inflammation and potentially help those with various neurological conditions.
• A Mission of Recovery: William’s journey to open a nonprofit CTE recovery center near St. Louis to provide free restorative care for veterans and athletes.
• Finding Purpose: Why restoring the spirit is just as vital as restoring brain health.

Whether you are living with Parkinson’s, recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), or supporting a loved one through a neurological journey, William’s story is a testament to resilience and possibility .

This episode dives into the revolutionary SPARX Trial (Phase 2) and the ongoing SPARX3 research, which challenges conventional Parkinson's treatment by treating high-intensity exercise as medicine. We break down the electrifying 6-month mark data that suggests vigorous aerobic activity—specifically hitting 80-85% of maximum heart rate—can potentially slow or halt the progression of motor symptoms in early-stage Parkinson's disease.

If you are looking for evidence-based strategies to lead a fulfilling life with PD, this deep dive into exercise prescription is a must-listen.

Key Topics in This Episode:

• The 6-Month Mark: Why the Phase 2 SPARX results are forcing researchers to redefine exercise as a disease-modifying therapy.
• The Dose Matters: Understanding the difference between moderate and high-intensity heart rate zones and why 85% HRmax is the target.
• Practical Application: How people living with Parkinson's can safely and effectively apply the SPARX findings in their daily life.
• Neuroprotection: The biological theories explaining how intense exercise may offer neuroprotective benefits.

🚨 Crucial Safety Warning 🚨

Before initiating ANY new or high-intensity exercise program, you MUST consult with your physician, neurologist, and, ideally, undergo a cardiologist-supervised exercise stress test. This step is essential to accurately determine your safe maximum heart rate and ensure high-intensity training is appropriate for your specific health profile.
