“Parkinson’s Nutrition and Living Well with Dr. John Eric Duda”

Program: Nutrition continues to be one of the most important aspects of treatment for people living with Parkinson’s. The challenge is sifting through all of the available information about dietary guidelines and “ideal nutritional plans” to find what works best for each person.

In this webinar on Parkinson’s nutrition and living well, Dr. Duda will address how dietary choices can affect symptom control in Parkinson’s; how particular foods and timing of meals may interfere with Parkinson’s medication; how age, progression of Parkinson’s and history can affect the efficacy of certain dietary choices; dietary management of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s such as sleepiness and fatigue; nOH, constipation and excessive weight loss; the role of the gut microbiome in Parkinson’s and how to improve the gut by making better dietary choices; how nutrition can change the molecular mechanisms present in people with Parkinson’s and may even provide disease-modifying effects.

Presenter: John Duda, MD, co-director, PADRECC, co-director, Center for Neurotrauma, Neurodegeneration, and Restoration of the Michael J. Crescenz Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA

Presented by: Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson’s

“Can We Repair the Brain in Parkinson’s Disease?”

Program: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder of the brain that is characterized pathologically by the loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons. While motor features of the disease respond well to current dopaminergic treatments, side effects such as dyskinesia and neuropsychiatric problems are common over time. These problems could, in theory, be avoided through targeted delivery of dopamine to the dorsal striatum as is possible with neuronal replacement approaches or growth factor (GDNF) delivery. These strategies have been tried over the last 20-30 years and shown long-term clinical benefit in some patients. But efficacy is inconsistent, and these new therapies often have their own side effects.

Presenter: Roger Barker, Professor of Clinical Neuroscience, Cambridge University

Presented by: Technology Networks and Cisbio
