It’s a podcast built on truth, resilience, and the belief that you can still live fully, even when life looks different than expected.

The Hidden Parkinson’s Symptoms Doctors STILL Don’t Talk About
One of the hardest parts of living with Parkinson’s is not the symptoms you expect. It is the ones nobody warns you about. Skin that cannot decide if it is oily or flaky. Choking on a simple sip of water. Planning your entire day around bathroom access.
In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I open up about three hidden Parkinson’s symptoms that doctors often do not talk about enough, but that affect daily life in a big way.
We talk about:
🧴 Parkinson’s skin changes, including oiliness, flakes, and irritation
🥤 Swallowing problems and choking scares that can feel sudden and frightening
🚻 Urinary urgency and the constant need to plan ahead
For each symptom, I share what it looks like in real life, why it happens, and practical tips that can actually help right now. This episode also includes Carmen’s Care Partner Corner, where Carmen shares what these hidden symptoms look like from her side and why care partners need to speak up too.
These symptoms may be hidden, but they are real. And talking about them is the first step toward managing them without shame.

Bryce-ism of the Episode:
“With Parkinson’s, sometimes the symptoms you do not see are the ones that trip you up the most. And occasionally, they will chase you straight to the bathroom.”
