Have you ever had one of those mornings where your meds feel off… and you cannot figure out why?
What if something you drink in the morning, a common sweetener, something as simple as a yawn, or even the side you lie on could affect Parkinson’s in ways most people never think about?
In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I break down 4 surprising Parkinson’s triggers hiding in plain sight, including a breakfast drink that may change timing, a sweetener people question all the time, the weird truth about yawns getting “stuck,” and the body-position trick that might help meds kick in faster.
This is Who Knew Week, which we do once a month, and this is Part 1. Part 2 is coming next.
If you’ve ever had a day where your meds felt different and you had no idea why, this one is for you.

Who knew...I learn something new everything I watch your show. I was diagnosed in 2017 at 63. When I moved my Dr. Was horrible never really listened to me would just and another pill. No info on PD although he did give me a bad one page copy on PD. I have since changed Dr. My new Dr is wonderful. We can haveca conversation and she listens.
I have to admit I am learning so much from your show that I had no idea about. So much really hits home. Again Than You, Who Knew😊
