Hello everyone!

Are any of you knowledgeable about/experienced with the diet Laura Mischley advocates for those with PD? You will find it on YouTube:

“What do successful people do to slow down PD progression?"


It's worth a watch. I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. I don’t have PD and I don’t have any expertise. I am a stage 4 cancer survivor who has always had a lay person’s interest in diet and in the conflicting expert opinions around what diet is best for different people.

I have never tried being a vegetarian let alone a strict vegan.

I have used the keto diet a few times but find it socially isolating, difficult and limiting to remain in ketosis and I simply don’t feel good on it. (I did lose a lot of weight on it but weight loss for me was not enough).

After trying various promoted nutrition options I have personally landed on the Mediterranean diet - but my interest remains.

Thanks to you I looked up on the internet last night Dr Mischley’s recommended diet for PD and was particularly interested in a strong debate between health experts and people with PD. A variety of opinions.

Thank you for the information - albeit not for me.
