Rock Steady Boxing for the exercise and lifestyle part!
Yup. I said what I said.
I’m not saying everyone has the same abilities or that they should.
Parkinson’s affects everyone differently, and many people have significant limitations. What I’m saying is that almost everyone has some capacity to improve their health, whether that’s physical therapy, chair exercises, breathing exercises, stretching, nutrition, sleep, stress management, or whatever is appropriate for their situation. My concern isn’t with people who can’t do more. It’s with our tendency to look for a shortcut before we’ve fully invested in the things we know can help.
I’m speaking from experience. Early after my diagnosis, I chased the next supplement, gadget, and ‘breakthrough’ because I wanted a ‘silver bullet’. I wasn’t looking for the hard answer at all. I was looking for the easy one. It wasn’t until I committed to exercise and changing my lifestyle that I experienced the biggest improvements in my own quality of life. That’s why I’m so passionate about encouraging people not to overlook the fundamentals.
Use every tool available but in complimentary fashion and understand to your best ability what they are actually doing for you. Medication, supplements if you choose, technology, clinical trials. I’m not against any of those. But if exercise and healthy lifestyle habits aren’t part of your plan, you may not have explored every evidence-based option yet.
