Join us on the Live Parkinson's: Live and Exceptional Life podcast as we explore the fascinating connection between the ketogenic diet and Parkinson's Disease (PD). In this episode, we delve into the potential of using a high-fat, low-carb approach to manage PD symptoms and improve quality of life. Learn:

  • What is the Ketogenic Diet? Understand the macronutrient ratios and the metabolic shift to ketosis.
  • Neuroprotective Benefits: Discover how ketones may protect brain cells and slow PD progression.
  • Symptom Management: Explore how keto can potentially improve motor and non-motor symptoms like tremor, rigidity, and cognitive function.
  • Gut-Brain Connection: Learn how the ketogenic diet may positively influence gut health and impact PD.
  • Research & Evidence: We review current studies and discuss the science behind keto and Parkinson's.
  • Potential Side Effects: We discuss what to be aware of when considering this diet.

This episode provides valuable insights for anyone seeking complementary therapies for Parkinson's Disease.
