My Journey with Parkinson’s Disease
At 46, a Parkinson’s diagnosis was a shock, but it ignited a drive to understand and overcome. Witnessing others thrive with Parkinson’s – running marathons, competing athletically, and living fully – inspired me to develop a proactive approach. My journey has highlighted four crucial pillars:
- Exercise: Essential for both physical and cognitive health.
- Nutrition: A balanced diet to manage symptoms and promote well-being.
- Attitude: A positive, proactive mindset is key to navigating life with Parkinson’s.
- Community & Connection: Finding support and shared understanding is invaluable.
This website is a resource for those seeking knowledge, support, and inspiration to live their best lives with Parkinson’s

Podcast Listener Feedback
hi and merry Christmas to you and your wife. Your positivity podcast helped me get my 84 year old mom who just got through the brain surgery this past fall out of a rut. I was searching for Podcasts and Parkinson’s and came upon yours and was drawn to it by the loving picture you have and started to look through your episodes and found the one on being positive and having panic attacks.
I listened to it and knew my mom had to hear it. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting it. It’s been tough getting her out of the cloud she was in and get her moving again but with the right words it worked and she is now living her life. I will donate to your podcast but I can’t now. But look for something in the near future you totally helped my family.

Living with Parkinson’s Disease Success Stories
These are personal success stories of friends with Parkinson’s who are living their best life with Parkinson’s Disease. They stepped out of their comfort zone and took on new challenges and are fulfilling their dreams.
Press on with Parkinson’s
I met Joan in the Momentum program for people living with Parkinson’s and other neurologic disorders. Momentum is a daily 1 hour program designed to focus on improving the physical, emotional, cognitive and social well-being of class participants.
Initially, Joan was quiet, but focused on giving her best effort. She worked hard during class and wanted to improve her quality of life. After, Joan read my book Spectacular Life, she approached me and said, “your book inspired me to do one of thing I’ve always wanted to do but was too afraid.” I said, “what is you’ve always wanted to do?” and Joan replied, “I’ve always wanted to start a website to share my poetry and stories on living with Parkinson’s, would you help me? I said “absolutely!”
Joan and I sat together and set-up her website. Today, Joan writes and posts inspiring stories on her website: PressonwithParkinsons.com. I highly recommend her website to get her perspective on how someone who had a devastating diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease, used that to live their best life.
Today, Joan is one of the leaders in the Momentum group and even leads a monthly social lunch get together with anyone interested in participating. Joan has become a real inspiration for the class.
The Music Man
This is the story of my good friend Andy. Andy was an exceptional music teacher, loved by his students and the staff because of his positive outgoing personality. I was fortunate to meet Andy in the Momentum program for Parkinson’s that had just launched.
I could tell right away that Andy and I would hit it off, because our personalities were similar. We love to have a good time and make other people laugh. Andy and I quickly became friends and participated in partnered activities in the Momentum classes. Andy was viewed by the others in the class as one of the leaders because of the effort he put forth, the empathy he showed towards others and his positive, accepting personality.
Andy, has had his share of setbacks because of Parkinson’s but he has let that deter him from continuing to be an example for others in the class. Andy started a monthly breakfast for the group, to help build comradery with the group outside of class, he has led golf outings for the group and recently has begun to take up Boxing to help manage his Parkinson’s symptoms.
Andy was instrumental sharing his expertise as members of the Momentum class went on tour to sing Christmas song to one of the local Nursing homes. This brought smiles to the residents who otherwise might not have any visitors during the Christmas season. Andy is always willing to share his knowledge and love of music with the group, but more importantly, Andy is a friend, leader and coach for the Momentum group.
