Wed, 20 Dec 2023 - 1h 01min - 168 - People with Parkinson's Share Their Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Stories
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a highly effective and reasonably safe treatment for Parkinson’s; however, it’s also frequently misunderstood by people who have been recently diagnosed. The success stories about how people are sometimes living symptom and medication-free as a result of getting DBS understandably lead many who’ve been newly diagnosed to want to get the treatment as soon as possible.
In an earlier webinar, we invited an esteemed panel of experts to talk about Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
In this episode of the Parkinson's Podcast, we spoke with six people with Parkinson’s who’ve had DBS. We discussed:
How to begin the process
How to talk to your family and friends about DBS and your hopes and concerns about it
What to expect during the approval process
What the surgery is really like (and do you have to shave your head)
What recovery is like and what kind of support you might need
The challenges of programming your device and the joy that comes when you get it right
The myths, challenges, and victories of DBS
And more! We hope you enjoy it!

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 - 1h 21min - 167 - Mortality and Parkinson's: The Elephant in the Room
In this episode, Dr. Bastiaan Bloem talks with Davis Phinney Foundation Executive Director, Polly Dawkins, about a recent article he co-authored, "The Elephant in the Room: Critical Reflections on Mortality Rates Among Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease."
In the article, Dr. Bloem et al. write, "Although the survival of people with Parkinson's has improved over time, people with Parkinson's still live fewer years than their age- and sex-matched population comparators, albeit at older ages this difference can be small." Dr. Bloem and his co-authors also acknowledge that doctors and researchers "often emphasize the tremendous impact of [Parkinson's] on an individual’s life. However, in public awareness campaigns, we largely avoid discussions on the survival of people with Parkinson’s..."
It's understandable: the topic of mortality and Parkinson's is often painful. However, in this episode of The Parkinson's Podcast, Dr. Bloem argues out that openly acknowledging that Parkinson's shortens lifespans is a good thing for people with Parkinson's for a multiple reasons.
Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Bloem's perspective about multiple topics related to mortality and Parkinson's, including:
The commonly held view that people die with Parkinson's, not from Parkinson's Pesticides, chemical exposure, and other environmental risks Reasons for hope, including specific advice about exercise and diet The policy and funding implications of candid discussion of mortality in Parkinson'sWant to read the article associated with this podcast?

In this genuine, inspiring, and relatable conversation, Brian and Davis talk about their experiences as athletes receiving a Parkinson's diagnosis, their difficulties in accepting the physical and mental challenges that have occurred with the progression of their Parkinson's, and how and why they are passionate about living well with Parkinson's each and every day.

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 - 57min - 159 - Dopamine Nation with Anna Lembke
In this episode, Dr. Anna Lembke, an internationally recognized expert in addiction and dopamine, discusses addiction, dopamine's role in pain and pleasure, dopamine agonists, and more.
**Please note, taking regular carbidopa/levodopa alone very rarely leads to someone experiencing impulse control disorders, so please do not delay taking these Parkinson’s medications because of a fear of developing an impulse control disorder. If your symptoms are getting in the way of your daily activities and quality of life, work with your doctor to find the right dose for you. Dopamine agonists, on the other hand, which are more commonly prescribed in the early stages of Parkinson’s, are the types of medication that put people at greater risk. Still, it’s not a given. Each person responds to medication differently, and whatever side effects you do experience are almost always duration and dose-dependent. To learn more about Parkinson’s medication, read Medication and Parkinson’s. For more on impulse control disorders and dopamine agonists, read Impulse Control Disorders and How to Manage Them.
Topics discussed include:
Can you define pleasure and pain and the role dopamine plays in them? How has our drive for pleasure changed over time? Does being low on dopamine contribute to the pain many with Parkinson’s experience? How is the pain/pleasure cycle disrupted in the absence of naturally produced dopamine? What is a dopamine precursor, and what does it have to do with impulse control disorders (ICDs) in people with Parkinson’s? Are there any early warning signs that someone may be experiencing negative side effects such as impulse control disorders from taking their medication? What is addiction, and how does it work in someone with Parkinson’s? What is the value of truth-telling for someone who is struggling with an impulse control disorder or any other addiction? Is it possible that Parkinson’s meds can expose a preexisting addiction or propensity for addiction? Is there a link between head trauma and addiction?and more! We hope you enjoy!

Listen to chapter 16, “Living Well Today,” and the Appendix, "Detecting Medical Bullshit" of the newest edition of our Every Victory Counts® manual.

And an important part of living well with Parkinson's is being able to decipher fact from fiction in the Parkinson's world.

In these last two sections of the Every Victory Counts Manual, you’ll get advice on steps you can take right away to begin living well with Parkinson’s, and you'll learn how to vet the Parkinson’s research and stories you hear.

The success stories about how people are sometimes living symptom and medication-free as a result of getting DBS understandably lead many to want to get the treatment as soon as possible. Others think it sounds scary and shy away from it. During this webinar, Dr. Joohi Jimenez-Shahed broke down the what, why, and how of DBS and its latest advancements.
