I don't know who said it, but to come to your senses, you must go out of your mind.
Imagine finding solace in the great outdoors while battling Parkinson's disease. In this episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief', Robert Rodgers, PhD, chats with Mountain Sage, a seasoned hiker who has walked the rugged terrain of the Appalachian Trail. Sage opens up about how hiking has become a lifeline for him, offering both mental and physical benefits that help manage his Parkinson's symptoms. Ever wondered if sleep plays a crucial role in recovery?
Sage delves into his sleep habits and shares tips on achieving that elusive deep sleep essential for healing. He also discusses how community support, particularly through the Vet to Vet Group (V2VG), has been a cornerstone in his journey. But it's not just about walking; adaptive sports like skiing have also brought new purpose and joy to his life.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone navigating the challenges of Parkinson's, proving that nature and community can be powerful allies in the quest for wellness.
