Food and Parkinson’s: The Real Connection No One Talks About

Bryce Perry | DOING LIFE TODAY Season 1 Episode 56

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.
