Did you know that your gut health could be linked to Parkinson’s Disease? (YouTube version is here) 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 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
