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.”

Navigating “Wearing-Off”: When Your Meds Peak and Plunge
Did you know that within five years of starting Levodopa, more than half of people with Parkinson’s experience “wearing-off” every single day? I didn’t believe it either — until it started happening to me.
In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I share five real-life hacks for surviving wearing-off — the moments when your meds stop working before your next dose kicks in:
1️⃣ Track your timing (and spot your pattern)
2️⃣ Plan your day around your “on” times
3️⃣ Use small snacks and stretches to bridge the gap
4️⃣ Bring real data to your neurologist — not just feelings
5️⃣ Always have a rescue plan (your kit, your calm, your backup dose)
These are the practical strategies I’ve learned after 15 years of living with Parkinson’s — and they’ve saved me from some of the most frustrating, embarrassing, and even scary moments of wearing-off in public.
Stick around to the end for a Bryce-ism that reframes how to live with your rhythm, not fight against it.

“With Parkinson’s, wearing-off reminds me to build a life that works with my rhythm — not against it.”
⚠️ 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.
