Many Parkinson Disease symptoms can be significantly improved by supporting your diet and nutrition

Research over the past two decades has revealed that there are many long-term symptoms that can pre-date a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease, such as constipation, sleep disorders and low mood and while no-one knows that exact cause and triggers, supporting your diet and nutritional needs can significantly improve your symptoms.

“There is no such thing as a ‘well-balanced’ diet”

You may be surprised to find that, at Parkinsons Nutrition Support, I believe that there is no such thing as a “well-balanced” diet. Foods that may be good for one person may not be suitable for another.

Even if you think that you are eating a healthy diet, chances are you are deficient in many vital nutrients without even knowing it. People lack nutrients for a variety of different reasons, such as a reliance on processed foods, what they drink, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, stress, pollution, and even changes in farming practices over the years.

Long-term sub-optimal nutrition, whatever the cause, is linked to a variety of different diseases and can alter the way our genes work. Therefore, any changes to your diet, good or bad, can have profound effects on your health.

I am dedicated to helping you find the foods and lifestyle changes that are best for you so that you can reclaim your health and fight, reverse, and prevent disease.

Here are some of the lab tests I use regularly:

Functional Blood Chemistry

This is blood testing looking for biochemical imbalances that we can rebalance with the right nutrients, and may include advanced thyroid function testing with antibodies.

Digestive Function Testing

As up to 80% of the immune system is in the gut, looking at your digestive function with gives us a window into what could be going on and what support would be most suitable. I use cutting edge microbiome testing (Biomesight), which enables me to tailor my dietary recommendations as well as probiotic and prebiotic supplement advice to your specific needs.

Cyrex Testing for Autoimmunity

These tests look at what could be contributing to your autoimmune condition and may also predict likely autoimmunity to difference areas of your body up to 10 years before you develop symptoms.

DUTCH Testing

This looks at your hormones in detail, including how you are metabolising your hormones.

Micronutrient (Vitamin, Mineral and Essential Nutrient) Testing

This profile covers a range of micronutrients (e.g. Vitamin C, Zinc, B Vitamins)to provide a comprehensive assessment of nutritional status. Micronutrients are important compounds that are required for the proper functioning of every enzyme and cell in your body and support some of the following functions: the immune system, energy production, detoxification and more.
