570 WSYR "YOUR HEALTH MATTERS" - Ep #23: Reverse Osteporosis with bioDensity at NeuroMotor Training

In this episode of "Your Health Matters," host Karl Sterling discusses Parkinson's disease, offering insights into its definition, symptoms, and management strategies. With extensive experience and works like "Parkinson's Regeneration Training" and "Parkinson's Empowerment Training," Sterling provides practical advice for improving the lives of those affected by the disease.

What is Parkinson's Disease?
Parkinson’s is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that primarily affects the substantia nigra, a brain region responsible for producing dopamine, which is vital for movement and coordination. As brain cells die, dopamine production drops, causing motor and non-motor symptoms.

Key Points:
- Dopamine’s Role: Dopamine is essential for smooth movement, and its deficiency leads to typical Parkinson’s symptoms.
- Substantia Nigra: The brain region most impacted by Parkinson's, responsible for dopamine production.

Early Intervention
By the time symptoms appear, significant damage to the substantia nigra has often occurred, making early detection critical.

Who is Affected by Parkinson's Disease?
Dr. Ray Dorsey estimates that only 5-10% of Parkinson’s cases are hereditary, indicating that environmental factors play a key role. Sterling highlights potential contributors like diet and toxin exposure.

Environmental Factors:
- Processed Foods: Around 70% of the food supply is processed, contributing to inflammation and potentially increasing Parkinson’s risk.
- Toxins: Pesticides like paraquat and chemicals used in dry cleaning have been linked to the disease.

Case Study:
Sterling recounts a study involving identical twins, where one twin developed Parkinson's after long-term exposure to environmental toxins, emphasizing how environmental factors may trigger the disease.

Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s includes both motor and non-motor symptoms, which can vary in severity. Sterling outlines the five major motor symptoms:

Motor Symptoms:
1. Resting Tremors: Involuntary shaking, usually in the hands.
2. Rigidity: Muscle stiffness.
3. Bradykinesia: Slowness of movement.
4. Akinesia: Difficulty starting movement.
5. Postural Instability: Balance problems that increase fall risk.

Non-Motor Symptoms:
- Depression and Anxiety: Common in both patients and caregivers.
- Constipation: Due to slow digestion.
- Cognitive Decline: Memory and thinking difficulties.
- Visual Changes: Problems with vision.

Management Strategies
Sterling stresses the importance of personalized treatment, combining exercise, cognitive training, and community support.

Exercise:
- Strength and Cardiovascular Training: 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise daily boosts brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a hormone that promotes brain health.
- Start Slow: Gradually increase workout intensity.
- Combine Physical and Cognitive Training: Incorporating cognitive tasks with exercise enhances multitasking abilities and lowers fall risk.

Community Programs:
- Lebanon Dojo’s Neuro-Motor Training Program: This program, designed for seniors, including Parkinson’s patients, offers a supportive environment for physical and cognitive exercises.

Conclusion
Karl Sterling’s discussion on Parkinson’s disease provides vital insights into the condition’s symptoms, causes, and management. By sharing his expertise, Sterling encourages individuals to take control of their health. Combining exercise, cognitive training, and community support can help those with Parkinson’s improve their quality of life and maintain independence.
