In this first section, we'll talk about assessment of nutritional status and identification of deficiencies. How do you know when you're low?
Part 2 will go over all the supplements that are associated with slower rate of PD progression according to our data (glutathione, fish oil, and coenzyme Q10). I'll talk about why I think this makes sense, and my typical recommendations for doses and delivery.
In Part 3, I'll talk about the supplements I find myself using most often in clinic (B12, melatonin, curcumin, folate, lithium, vitamin C, etc.) I'll discuss when I use them, why, and what my experience has been.

"Dr. Mischley, Thank you for taking a confusing subject and breaking it down into a simpler format. You are helping to put some of the control back in the patients hands by informing us of things that may not be discussed in detail by our physician."
