Many people take medications and they certainly do address, for some people, the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but that's just a treatment of symptoms.
Ever wondered how to handle the pesky side effects of Parkinson's medications? In this episode, David Overton, a Physician Assistant from Natural Medicines & Family Practice in Olympia, Washington, offers a treasure trove of advice on this very topic. With his wealth of experience, David dives into practical strategies for reducing prescription drugs safely and managing their side effects effectively.
He sheds light on the dopamine challenge test, a nifty diagnostic tool that can help assess how well medications are working for you. Plus, he explains the crucial role of kidney function and genetic testing in tailoring treatment plans. David's insights emphasize the importance of working closely with healthcare providers to create a personalized approach that focuses on symptom management rather than a cure.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with Parkinson's, offering valuable tips to improve your quality of life.
