In this episode, (view on YouTube) we explore the link between magnesium and its potential to improve sleep disorders in people with Parkinson’s Disease. Magnesium plays a key role in nerve function and muscle relaxation, which may help address common Parkinson’s sleep issues like insomnia, restless legs syndrome (RLS), and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). We’ll dive into how magnesium supports melatonin production and its calming effects on the nervous system.

You will discover:

-How magnesium impacts sleep quality and helps with symptoms like insomnia and RLS.

-The potential benefits of magnesium supplementation for Parkinson’s patients.

-The role of magnesium in producing melatonin and regulating the sleep-wake cycle.

-Learn how this vital mineral could offer symptom relief and support better rest for those living with Parkinson’s.

Did you know that your gut health could be linked to Parkinson’s Disease? Recent research has uncovered a fascinating connection between the gut microbiome and the development of Parkinson’s. In this episode, we explore how changes in gut bacteria may contribute to brain inflammation, the misfolding of alpha-synuclein proteins, and the progression of Parkinson’s Disease symptoms. Scientists are investigating potential treatments targeting the gut-brain axis, including probiotics and fecal transplants, to restore gut health and slow the progression of Parkinson’s. 

Watch (YouTube version) and listen to learn more about this groundbreaking research and how it could shape the future of Parkinson’s treatments.

Video version of the podcast is here. This may not be a "hot take" with regards to supplements, but we will be talking about some cool beans. Mucuna pruriens, also known as the velvet bean, is a natural source of levodopa, a key treatment for Parkinson's Disease (PD). Research shows it may reduce PD symptoms and have a quicker onset and longer duration than standard medications like carbidopa/levodopa (C/L). However, it can cause more side effects, particularly with prolonged use. Unlike C/L, Mucuna lacks carbidopa, which helps reduce side effects. While it has potential benefits, dosage standardization is a concern, and more research is needed. Always consult a doctor before using it. If you want to try for yourself this is one possibility from Nutricost via Amazon and is highly rated: https://amzn.to/3ZqSyn6

But can it really slow down or even halt the progression of Parkinson’s Disease? 

We’ll highlight:

-What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and how does it work?

-The science behind HBOT and its effects on brain health.

-Current research and case studies on HBOT’s impact on Parkinson’s Disease.

-Potential benefits and risks of using HBOT for Parkinson’s patients.

How does NAD impact Parkinson’s Disease?

We’ll explore:

1. What is NAD and how does it function within our cells? 
2. The connection between NAD and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. 
3.  Latest research findings on NAD’s potential benefits for Parkinson’s patients.
4. How NAD supplementation could influence disease progression and symptoms.

In this episode, we explore the potential role of Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2) as an adjunct in the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. Nrf2 is a crucial protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins and protects against oxidative damage triggered by injury and inflammation. But how does it relate to Parkinson’s Disease? 

We’ll cover:

-What is Nrf2 and how does it function in the body?

-The connection between Nrf2 and neuroprotection.

-The role of Nrf2 in reducing inflammation in the brain

-The role Nrf2 plays in antioxidant response.
