Join accredited practising dietitian and nutritionist Amy Peng for this informative Ask the Expert session exploring the latest evidence on nutrition and Parkinson’s. Amy will discuss practical dietary strategies that may support wellbeing, as well as emerging research into the fascinating gut-brain connection and the role of the gut microbiome in Parkinson’s.
Researchers are increasingly investigating links between changes in the gut and Parkinson’s. While many questions remain unanswered, this is one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving areas of Parkinson’s research.
During this session, we will discuss:
- The importance of nutrition for living well with Parkinson’s
- What we know about the gut-brain connection and why it matters
- Food choices that may be particularly important after a Parkinson’s diagnosis
- The MIND diet and its potential benefits for people living with Parkinson’s
- Why early nutrition screening can help identify concerns before they become more serious
- Simple, manageable dietary changes people can make to support their health and Parkinson’s management
Whether you’re living with Parkinson’s, caring for someone who is, or interested in learning more about the latest research, this session will provide practical insights and evidence-based advice to support informed decision-making.
This event will be held on the Microsoft Teams platform.
