Neuroscience Nutrition in Parkinson’s Disease

Steve Blake, ScD Presents:

Parkinsonâ??s disease involves a deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Symptoms can include tremor, rigidity, difficulty thinking, and slow movements. Diet can have an impact on our ability to make dopamine. Find out how to adjust diet to improve dopamine production. We will explore how to avoid the foods and toxins that may deplete the brain cells that make dopamine. We will learn about certain foods that help protect brain cells and slow degeneration. Since symptoms do not often show up before half of the dopamine-producing brain cells are gone, all of us can benefit from proactive risk reduction.
