Learn How to Manage Parkinson's Disease Using Lifestyle Medicine with Z Altug

Approximately 10 million people around the world are currently living with Parkinson's. The prevalence of Parkinson's increases with age, with 1.5-2 percent of the population aged over 60 affected. Parkinson's is associated with the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. Common symptoms include resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and non-motor symptoms such as anosmia, sleep behaviour disorder, depression, autonomic dysfunction, and cognitive dysfunction.

While the aetiology of Parkinson's is not fully understood, it is believed that some combination of genetic and environmental factors are involved, including lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, diet, and physical activity. This module focuses specifically on lifestyle strategies that can be beneficial for individuals with Parkinson's, including stress management, avoiding risky substance abuse, improving social connections, and the benefits of being in outdoor environments.
