Using your brain to master Parkinson's Disease
Would you please do an episode (soon) on the latest findings in treating and modifying Parkinson's Disease. Can we enhance our own dopamine production through behaviour, (visualization, hypnosis, bio-feedback, nutrition, cold plunges, red light therapy, heat exposure, meditation, etc.), natural supplements, and technology that is currently out there or can these things augment Rx drugs effectiveness. Can you theorize based on your knowledge of the brain, dopamine production and pathways, and neuroplasticity on things that are out there that no one has considered as possibly providing support for treating PD? We need out of the box thinking! For example, I recently learned of a device that provides brain training through bio feedback to enhance focus. Athletes are using it. It struck me that learning how to focus better might be able to enhance some of the other behavioural tactics (visualization, meditation, hypnosis) that support or might modify PD progression. I'd like to see a summary of findings and some novel thinking. And you are the one to do this! That's why I'm a life time premium subscriber. Thanks for making science accessible.
