Parkinson's Disease Education Podcast: Recent Episodes
Dr. Michael Hyland, DPT, CEEAA, CFPS
Have you ever wished there was a source of information about Parkinson's Disease, and resources for persons with PD, that were concise and easy to digest? Look no further than the Parkinson's Disease Education Podcast.
In this podcast we attempt to demystify the disease and to empower you to reach your true potential as a person with PD.
In this episode (watch on YouTube), we explore the groundbreaking potential of psilocybin—the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms—as a promising treatment for Parkinson’s disease. 🧠🍄
A recent pilot study by researchers at UC San Francisco found that psilocybin, when combined with psychotherapy, led to significant improvements in mood, cognition, and even motor symptoms in people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s.
🌟 Key Highlights:
- How psilocybin may reduce depression and anxiety
- Surprising reports of improved movement and reduced tremors
- The role of neuroplasticity and inflammation in Parkinson’s
- What this means for future treatments and clinical trials
This is the first time a psychedelic has been tested in a neurodegenerative disease population—and the results are encouraging.

Video version of the podcast is here. This may not be a "hot take" with regards to supplements, but we will be talking about some cool beans. Mucuna pruriens, also known as the velvet bean, is a natural source of levodopa, a key treatment for Parkinson's Disease (PD). Research shows it may reduce PD symptoms and have a quicker onset and longer duration than standard medications like carbidopa/levodopa (C/L). However, it can cause more side effects, particularly with prolonged use. Unlike C/L, Mucuna lacks carbidopa, which helps reduce side effects. While it has potential benefits, dosage standardization is a concern, and more research is needed. Always consult a doctor before using it. If you want to try for yourself this is one possibility from Nutricost via Amazon and is highly rated: https://amzn.to/3ZqSyn6

In this episode (video here on YouTube), we explore the potential of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as Ubiquinone, in the treatment of Parkinson's disease symptoms.
CoQ10, a naturally occurring compound found in every cell of the body, plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function and energy production. Research suggests that individuals with Parkinson's disease may have lower levels of CoQ10 in their brains, potentially contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.
By supplementing with CoQ10, individuals may be able to bolster mitochondrial function, enhance cellular energy production, and reduce oxidative damage—all of which are key factors in the progression of Parkinson's disease.
While more research is needed to fully understand the role of CoQ10 in treating Parkinson's disease, the current evidence is encouraging. Join us as we delve into the science behind CoQ10 and its potential to offer hope to those living with Parkinson's disease. Subscribe to our channel for more informative content on health, wellness, and the latest research on Parkinson's Disease.

In this episode, we delve into the powerful connection between the ketogenic diet, supplements, and their role in healing sick mitochondria, as well as their potential to treat Parkinson's disease. As mentioned in the previous video, mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell", responsible for producing energy. However, when these vital organelles become dysfunctional, it can lead to a range of health issues, including Parkinson's disease. The ketogenic diet, known for its low-carbohydrate, high-fat approach, has shown promise in supporting mitochondrial health. By reducing the reliance on glucose for energy and switching to ketones (increased ketosis), which are produced from fats, this diet may help to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which can contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, certain supplements have been identified as potential allies in the quest for mitochondrial health. Join us as we explore the science behind the keto diet, supplements, and their potential to heal sick mitochondria and offer hope for those living with Parkinson's disease.
