What is the Best Diet for Parkinson’s Disease? What should you really eat when you have Parkinson’s disease? In this video, my Parkinson’s Plate co-author and registered dietitian at the Fixel Institute at the University of Florida Emily Truscott, MS, RD, LD, breaks down what we know about nutrition and Parkinson’s; and what we don’t. She discuss practical food choices, healthy eating patterns, protein and Parkinson’s medications, and how nutrition can be tailored to the challenges that come with the disease. She explains how it is possible to make a Mediterranean type diet work for you. There is no single magic “Parkinson’s diet,” and we want to move beyond hype, supplements and confusing advice toward practical, evidence-based strategies that folks and families can actually use. The new book the Parkinson's Plate is out and has all the latest information, research and some great recipes: https://youtu.be/Fsu87UTmOoU?si=3uRWhVXmGJYscQqf via YouTube
