If you're living with Parkinson’s, you likely already know it affects more than just movement. Digestive health, energy levels, and even medication absorption can all be influenced by what you eat—and when.

Did you know that high-protein meals can affect how well your Parkinson’s medication works?

This month in PD Warrior PLUS, we're talking about nutrition and how to stay healthy with a balanced diet. Protein is crucial for building and repairing tissues, supporting the immune system, and providing your body with energy. It's important you're getting the right amount of protein in your diet, however, make sure it's not interfering with your medication!

For more tips and advice, head over to the PLUS platform or sign up here and receive weekly newsletters, weekly workouts, education, and our community.

🌟 For any concerns with your medication & diet please consult with a medical professional or dietician.

Lindy has recently completed the PD Warrior 10 Week Challenge through a licensed facility, Advance Rehab Centre (ARC), and her journey has been nothing short of remarkable. From the moment she walked into the clinic, it was clear she brought with her not only a deep understanding of Parkinson’s as a physiotherapist herself, but also a truly positive and dedicated mindset.

Her commitment to the in-clinic program, along with her continued use of PD Warrior’s online resources, enabled her to maximise the impact of her training and maintain consistency throughout her journey.

The results speak for themselves. While her normal walking speed remained stable, Lindy achieved an incredible 750% improvement in cognitive dual tasking, a result rarely seen so quickly. Her motor dual tasking improved by 166%, and her fast walking speed increased by 29%. She also showed significant gains in balance, walking endurance, and upper limb dexterity.
