Mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses” of cells, play a crucial role in generating energy, regulating cellular metabolism, and maintaining overall cell health. In neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, mitochondrial dysfunction contributes significantly to neuronal damage and disease progression. Therefore, promoting mitochondrial health is a vital component of light-based therapies, especially photobiomodulation (PBM), in Parkinson’s management. How… Continue reading Promoting Mitochondrial Health in Parkinson’s Disease

Brain Detox and Parkinson’s: The Sleep-Cognition Connection
Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is closely tied to the brain’s ability to flush out toxic proteins, with recent research shedding light on how quality sleep plays a vital role in this process. When the brain fails to remove toxins effectively, proteins such as amyloid-beta and alpha-synuclein—both associated with neurodegenerative diseases—can accumulate. In this post, we’ll… Continue reading Brain Detox and Parkinson’s: The Sleep-Cognition Connection
Accepting Parkinson’s
By Lorraine Wilson I have said I do not, and will not, accept Parkinson’s disease (PD). I do not deny that I have it. I see doctors and take medications. But acceptance, as I understand it, requires consent. And as I have said before, I never gave Parkinson’s permission to enter my life, let alone take… Continue reading Accepting Parkinson’s
