Five pillars of health.
One weekly newsletter.
Each edition covers the science and strategy behind slowing Parkinson's progression — explained by a neuroscientist who has dedicated her career to this mission.
Athletic Health
Strength, power, VO2 max, and mobility training designed as neurophysiological intervention — not just fitness.
Restorative Health
Sleep architecture, deep sleep optimization, and recovery strategies that flush brain toxins and rebuild resilience.
Metabolic Health
Anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut-brain axis science, and the performance diet philosophy to fuel your brain.
Cognitive Health
Neuroplasticity training, cognitive reserve building, and strategies to protect thinking and memory.
Emotional Health
Combatting isolation, building community, and mastering the mental game that determines half the battle.
Real science. Real strategies.
Not clickbait.
A selection of recent newsletter topics — all backed by research, all written to give you actionable knowledge.
How Exercise Modifies Brain Physiology in Parkinson's
The systemic mechanisms — from cerebral blood flow to mitochondrial signalling — that make structured exercise a biological intervention.
Why Muscles Help Slowing Down PD
Skeletal muscle as an endocrine organ — myokines, metabolic regulation, and why resistance training is non-negotiable.
Ketogenic Diet for Parkinson's: Good or Not?
BHB, mitochondrial repair, neuroinflammation reduction, and what the evidence actually says about keto and PD.
Sleep, Glymphatic Dysfunction & PD Progression
Your brain's hidden cleaning system, why deep sleep matters more than total hours, and strategies for better rest.
High Intensity Can Slow PD — Here's How to Start
The intensity science, dopamine transporter effects, and a practical framework for training above threshold.
Cognitive Decline in Parkinson's — Why You Can't Wait
Up to 80% of PD patients experience cognitive changes. Building cognitive reserve starts now.
