Food for Thought:
Diet & Nutrition in PD
Increasing amounts of research suggest blood sugar issues,
depleted B-vitamins and accessory nutrient deficiency (coenzyme Q10, lithium,
glutathione, etc.) in people with Parkinson's disease, when compared with
healthy controls. This may lead to a person with Parkinson's asking questions
such as, "Does it
matter what I eat? How do I know if I'm getting enough? Should I take
supplements?" If you or someone you know with Parkinson's
disease has been asking these questions, you may benefit from our upcoming
community talk with Dr. Laurie Mischley.
Dr. Mischley studied naturopathic medicine (ND) at Bastyr
University and epidemiology (MPH) and nutritional sciences (PhD) at the
University of Washington. Her work is focused on identifying the nutritional
requirements unique to individuals with neurodegenerative diseases. She has
published on coenzyme Q10, lithium and glutathione deficiency in Parkinson's
disease (PD). Dr. Mischley maintains a small clinical practice at Seattle
Integrative Medicine focused on nutrition and neurological health.
