Expert Briefing: Parkinson's & the Gut Brain Connection | Parkinson's Foundation

Wellness Wednesday: Expert Briefing Series
We know the brain and gut are connected. While stomach or intestinal distress can lead to anxiety or depression, gut-brain connections go much further - new research strongly suggests a link between the gut (the gastrointestinal system) and Parkinson’s disease. Learn more about the gut’s potential impact on symptoms and progression.

Thank you so much. The information provided in this video tells me how to prepare meals for my Dad who is suffering from PD.

Diagnosed a year ago, cut out all red meat and processed foods. Lost thirty pounds and have not felt this good in years. My movement doctor does not recommend any meds at this time. My tremors subsided after the diet change, not saying it will work for everyone, but the consumption of fresh foods has been a game changer. As mentioned by my doctor, your gut is your second brain.

This is a long and very technical talk. I enabled subtitles but then I frequently stopped the talk, disabled the titles, rewound a bit so that I could see the presentation slides. Regarding dietary fibres I have two questions. 1. Bread in many countries is made with refined white flour. In Germany the bread is typically made from whole grain flour. Is there any evidence that some countries may traditionally have better diets. Apart from the so called Mediterranean diet? 2. Is the eating of raw vegetables better than cooked ones? Or reworked, does cooking break down the useful fibre content of food?
