Supplements in Parkinson’s Disease: Goose Chase or Game Changer?

Most supplements aren't monitored by the FDA, so it can be hard for the average person to know if the evidence supports claims around supplements and Parkinson's. That's why we're welcoming Laurie Mischley, ND, PhD, MPH to help you understand common supplements used for Parkinson's symptoms and the evidence behind them. Join us for an overview of: * research-based supplement use for Parkinson's * supplement quality control best practices and watchouts * how to evaluate a supplement you're interested in taking * how to determine if a supplement is having the desired effect Laurie K. Mischley, has degrees in naturopathic medicine (ND), epidemiology (MPH) and nutritional sciences (PhD). Her work is focused on identifying the nutritional requirements unique to individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Dr. Mischley maintains a small clinical practice at Seattle Integrative Medicine focused on nutrition and neurological health of patients with Parkinsonism.
