Living with Parkinson’s | Bryce Perry
The Good, the Bad, and the Reality – Your Source of Strength, Hope, and Support.
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2010 at age 40, Bryce Perry has spent over 15 years navigating the daily challenges, unexpected changes, and surprising lessons that come with living with a progressive disease. Through it all, he’s found purpose, perspective — and plenty of humor.
Living with Parkinson’s is a real, raw, and often surprisingly funny podcast that explores what life is truly like with Parkinson’s. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, deep into your journey, or supporting someone who is, this show delivers honest stories, practical advice, and a healthy dose of encouragement.
From medication and mindset to relationships, work, identity, and adapting to constant change, Bryce dives into the good, the bad, and — most importantly — the reality of life with Parkinson’s. It’s a podcast built on truth, resilience, and the belief that you can still live fully, even when life looks different than expected.
Listeners say:
“You nailed it. I thought I was alone until I found your videos.”
“I laughed out loud… and then cried. This is exactly what I needed today.”
“Bryce says what we’re all thinking but don’t always have the words for.”
“Your honesty and humor are a gift. Please keep sharing.”

Food and Parkinson’s: The Real Connection No One Talks About
With Parkinson’s, food isn’t just fuel — it can be the difference between your meds working or not working at all.
In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I dive into how food impacts your Parkinson’s symptoms, medication, and energy levels. We’ll talk about:
🥦 The foods that help (fiber, omega-3s, antioxidants, hydration)
🥩 The foods that hurt (protein timing, processed foods, sugar, excess dairy)
🍲 Real-life meal strategies and community tips that actually work
I’ll also share a few of my own food stories — including one unforgettable steak dinner that taught me a hard lesson about Levodopa timing — and some of the funniest, most helpful food hacks from you, the Doing Life Today community.
Because food isn’t just about what’s on your plate. It’s about dignity, connection, and learning to make choices that keep you feeling like you.

Bryce-ism of the Episode:
“With Parkinson’s, food isn’t just fuel — it’s strategy. The trick is knowing which battles to fight on your plate so you don’t lose the war in your body.”
⚠️ Important Note
This is my personal Parkinson’s journey—what works for me may not work for everyone. Parkinson’s is different for each person, and treatment plans should always be tailored to individual needs. Before making any changes to your medication or care, consult with your doctor or healthcare provider.
