Parkinson's Disease Education Podcast Michael Hyland, DPT, CEEAA

In this episode, we delve into the powerful connection between the ketogenic diet, supplements, and their role in healing sick mitochondria, as well as their potential to treat Parkinson's disease. As mentioned in the previous video, mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell", responsible for producing energy. However, when these vital organelles become dysfunctional, it can lead to a range of health issues, including Parkinson's disease.  The ketogenic diet, known for its low-carbohydrate, high-fat approach, has shown promise in supporting mitochondrial health. By reducing the reliance on glucose for energy and switching to ketones (increased ketosis), which are produced from fats, this diet may help to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which can contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, certain supplements have been identified as potential allies in the quest for mitochondrial health. Join us as we explore the science behind the keto diet, supplements, and their potential to heal sick mitochondria and offer hope for those living with Parkinson's disease.

In this episode I do my best to break down and to simplify the cellular processes that result in abnormal aggregation of the protein alpha-synuclein in the nerve cells that produce #dopamine and how this leads to most of, if not all of, the problems caused by PD. In this video I reference this paper regarding the endo-lysosomal (E-L) pathway in cells, genetic links to PD, and how alpha-synuclein aggregates and what issues this causes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6707858/
Please please consider reading this amazing book by Dr. Christopher Palmer, MD on the role of mitochondria in neurological diseases like PD! It is a MUST read: https://amzn.to/49eNbZs

In part 7 of the PD Medications, Purposes, and Mechanisms #miniseries we will be learning about Levodopa and Carbidopa/Levodopa as the Gold Standard medication for increasing levels of #dopamine that are needed to function and to keep movement symptoms (and non-movement systems) at bay. Here is the video version. Keep scrolling down to access the link to the Parkinson's Foundation page about Levodopa.

Part four of the PD Medications, Purposes, and Mechanisms #miniseries is here! If you have never heard of anticholinergics before then you will know them quite well after this episode. Resting #tremors are among the most debilitating symptoms of PD and these medications can possibly help with that, though you may discover some of the side effects may cause you to wonder if it is worth it.
