- Parkinson’s Disease – Risk Factors and Neuroprotective 1h 30min
Featured Review
Description
Parkinson’s disease shares co-morbidities with other neurodegenerative conditions. There is a strong correlation with environmental influences and risk of developing PD. Also mental health history puts a person at both a risk of developing PD and also can help with diagnosis. There are many “non-classical” presentations of PD that as clinicians we must know about, that can help with an early diagnosis. The peer-review literature abounds with therapeutic considerations that support healthy neurons, mitochondria and often are already on the shelves of our office medicinary.
Learning Objectives
- Acquire knowledge of risk factors for PD development
- Review must-do tests and nutraceuticals that are researched to help with PD
- Learn how to help patients at risk identify PD symptoms, treatments and acquire knowledge of novel multi—faceted protective clinical interventions
