John Schappi's Parkinson's Journey: Blogging, Community, and Resilience

I'm delighted. It's made a difference in my life, and I'm just grateful for the people who brought this to my attention.
At 80 years old, most people are looking to slow down and enjoy their golden years. But for John Schappi, life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Instead of letting it bring him down, John turned to blogging as a way to document his journey and connect with others facing similar challenges.
In this episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief', host Robert Rodgers sits down with John to discuss his first year living with the diagnosis. From using supplements like 5-HTP to exploring alternative therapies such as hypnosis and progressive muscle relaxation, John shares his unique approach to managing his symptoms. He also talks about his love for gardening, bridge, travel, and biking, showing that life doesn't have to stop with a Parkinson's diagnosis.
Tune in to hear John's inspiring story of resilience, hope, and the power of community.
