Listen Later

Dr. Drew Christiansen explains essential tremor, how it differs from Parkinson’s, and shares integrative strategies to support brain health and reduce progression.


Dr. Drew Christiansen breaks down the differences between essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease, explaining why essential tremor is often misunderstood. He explores its potential neurodegenerative aspects, emotional impact, and progression over time. He also shares a functional medicine approach focused on brain health, lifestyle changes, and targeted strategies to improve symptoms and support long-term neurological function.


Dr. Drew Christensen has lived with Essential Tremor for over 45 years. When tremor threatened to derail his career more than once, he found another path to practice medicine in a new way.

After 18 years as a Family Medicine physician, he founded Living Health Functional Medicine. Functional and Integrative medicine has led Dr. Christensen to discover protocols and frameworks to improve Essential Tremor.

He runs his practice, Living Health Functional Medicine, in Midway, Utah. He also founded Shake Free, a program dedicated to finding alternative solutions for Essential Tremor.

Dr. Christensen is passionate about helping people Shake Free from Essential Tremor and Live the Unshakable Life. He loves time with family and relishes the mountain lifestyle of skiing, hiking, and biking.
