Delay the Disease: Fitness and Hope for Parkinson's Warriors

What would you want to say to them right now? So we're now training the trainer to teach our exercise class, and you know one of our goals right now is to try to get a relatively inexpensive or free class available to everyone in The United States that has Parkinson's disease.
Living with Parkinson's Disease can be an uphill battle, but what if there was a way to reclaim control over your body and life? In this episode of 'Parkinsons Recovery', Robert Rodgers chats with Jackie Russell and David Zid, the brains behind 'Delay the Disease', a fitness program tailored for those with Parkinson's. Jackie and David aren't just trainers; they’re on a mission to show that exercise can be a game-changer.
They share how their program, available as books and DVDs, helps participants improve mobility, regain independence, and feel more 'normal' again. Their approach isn’t just about physical strength; it's about boosting confidence and fighting the emotional toll of the disease. The duo also dive into the science, discussing how exercise acts like a new-age drug for Parkinson's, potentially slowing down its progression. Listeners will hear inspiring stories from participants and get practical tips for incorporating exercise into daily life.
Whether you’re battling Parkinson’s or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical advice.
