🌿 Parkinson’s Disease: Why Medications Aren’t Enough & How to Support Your Brain

As a pharmacist, I’ve had many conversations with families touched by Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here’s something important:
👉 By the time PD is diagnosed, 60–80% of the dopamine-producing cells in the brain’s substantia nigra have already been damaged.

Medications like levodopa/carbidopa are essential, but they become less effective over time. That’s why I believe in supporting the brain from every angle—medication plus targeted nutrition and lifestyle.

💡 One of the biggest challenges in PD is oxidative stress—think of it like “rusting” inside the brain. The mitochondria (our cells’ batteries) can’t keep up, and neurons start to break down.

Here’s where natural support can help:

🔋 Fueling Mitochondria & Defending Against Oxidative Stress

CoQ10 (ubiquinol form): 300–400 mg twice daily. Critical for energy in brain cells.

Alpha-lipoic acid (R-ALA): 200–300 mg twice daily. Helps recycle glutathione (your body’s master antioxidant).

Acetyl-L-carnitine: 1000 mg twice daily. Fuels neurons and protects against degeneration.

Omega-3s (high DHA): Around 2000 mg per day. Calms brain inflammation and supports cell membranes.

Melatonin: Not just for sleep—also a strong antioxidant that protects brain tissue.

✨ These nutrients are like extra shields for the brain—helping to protect neurons, support energy production, and slow the progression of damage.

This is Part 1 of my series on natural support for Parkinson’s.
➡️ Next, I’ll share how glutathione, B vitamins, and gut health play a major role in PD.

The fall equinox may have passed, but its message still whispers — reminding us to seek balance between light and dark, activity and rest. Just as the trees release their leaves, we too can embrace this time as an opportunity to simplify and realign, letting go of the things that no longer serve us — whether that’s habits, stress, or even thought patterns that drain our energy. Fall invites us to slow down, nourish our bodies, and restore our natural rhythm. A warm meal, consistent sleep, morning sunlight, magnesium, or simply a few deep breaths can help us realign with nature’s pace — creating space for calm, clarity, and renewal. We’re here to help you stay balanced this season as we move into the quieter months ahead.

Perimenopause is a time when our cortisol rhythm can wobble. Stress, rushing, or endless scrolling can spike it too high, too fast—leaving us crashing mid-day, craving sugar, and struggling to sleep at night.

That’s why I protect my mornings like a sacred space. For me, it’s grounding with Sachi, walking with Mocha, and soaking in the sunrise. For you, it might be tea, journaling, or 10 minutes of stillness.

✨ Cortisol is our “get up and go” hormone. It’s designed to rise gently in the morning, helping us feel awake and energized. But when that rhythm is disrupted, it ripples through the whole day—affecting energy, cravings, and even sleep.

✨ Think of mornings as hormonal currency. You only have so much energy to spend, and how you invest it early determines what’s left for the rest of the day.

That’s why mornings aren’t just minutes on a clock. They’re medicine. They’re hormonal harmony. They’re your daily gift to yourself. 🌸

May your mornings be gentle, grounding, and full of light. 💕

🥑🍳🥪 Easy, No-Mess Lunch Idea
Hectic day so I decided to make an Avocado + broccoli sprouts + egg sandwich

But let’s talk about the why behind this meal ⏰👇

Our circadian rhythm (the body’s natural clock) affects hormones like insulin and thyroid.
✨ Insulin works best earlier in the day — so front-loading your carbs (like bread) helps your body use them for energy, not store them.
✨ Thyroid hormones follow your daily rhythm too, keeping your metabolism humming when meals are aligned with the light cycle.

And don’t forget the sprouts! 🌱
🥦 Broccoli sprouts are rich in sulforaphane, which helps balance estrogen, supports detox pathways, and protects cells from oxidative stress.

Balanced carbs + protein + healthy fats + phytonutrients = fuel that works with your body clock, not against it. 💪

💊 How Metformin Works — and Why Support Matters

Metformin is one of the most prescribed diabetes medicines. It lowers blood sugar in three key ways:
1️⃣ Reduces glucose production in the liver
2️⃣ Slows glucose absorption in the intestine
3️⃣ Improves insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat cells

✨ 🚨Effective? Absolutely. But there’s a hidden cost.

While lowering blood sugar, metformin also depletes crucial nutrients:

Vitamin B12 & Folate → needed for nerves, energy, and memory

CoQ10 → essential for muscle and heart energy

Other B vitamins → important for metabolism and brain health

Low levels over time can cause:
⚡ Fatigue
⚡ Muscle aches
⚡ Brain fog or memory issues
⚡ Neuropathy (nerve problems)

✅ The Solution: Prescription Support by SolutionsRx

That’s why at Alvin Care Pharmacy, we pair medications like metformin with Prescription Support by SolutionsRx.

SolutionsRx is specially formulated to:

Replace the nutrients that metformin depletes

Support energy, focus, and heart health

Reduce side effects and prevent long-term complications

🎃👓 When the red lens glasses first arrived at our house, my husband joked—“Looks like we’re ready for Halloween!”

Not quite. In reality, we were gearing up to guard our melatonin.

Most people think of melatonin as just the “sleep hormone.” But it’s so much more—it’s one of our body’s most powerful protectors.

🌙 Melatonin is the keeper of our circadian rhythm—the internal clock that tells our hormones when to rise, when to rest, and how to stay in sync with the 24-hour day.

When that rhythm flips (high cortisol at night, low in the morning), we end up wired when we should be winding down and sluggish when we should feel alert. And this flip is especially common in our 40s and 50s, during the perimenopause and menopause years.

Over time, this mismatch contributes to insulin resistance, higher evening blood sugar, and increased cravings the next day.

🛡️ Melatonin is also a fierce antioxidant warrior. It shields our cells from oxidative stress, supports our mitochondria (the little engines inside each cell), and even influences our reproductive hormones.

And here’s a fact many don’t know: melatonin plays an important role in cancer biology. It helps regulate cell growth, reduce inflammation, and even slow the progression of certain cancers by protecting healthy cells and making the environment less favorable for cancer cells.

So on this first day of October—Breast Cancer Awareness Month—it feels especially important to remember how even small steps, like protecting our melatonin, can ripple into long-term resilience for both our hormone health and cancer defense.

So yes—the red glasses might look a little funny. But at night, they’re our armor. They block the artificial light that would otherwise sneak in and rob us of melatonin, our quiet but mighty ally.

🌟 September is Prostate Health Awareness Month

As a pharmacist, I’ve had many conversations with men who are quietly struggling with changes in their urinary health. Sometimes it starts with a few more trips to the bathroom at night, or noticing that the stream isn’t as strong as it used to be. These may feel like “just part of aging,” but often it’s a sign that the prostate is enlarging — something we call BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

What many don’t realize is how much hormones play a role.
👉 Testosterone, the main male hormone, doesn’t always stay in its original form.

Some of it turns into DHT, a stronger hormone that really pushes prostate growth.
Some of it turns into estrogen through an enzyme called aromatase — and aromatase activity naturally increases with age.

When DHT and estrogen are both high, that’s when the prostate often gets bigger, leading to those frustrating symptoms.

The encouraging news is that nature gives us tools that can help. 🌱

Saw palmetto gently slows down the testosterone-to-DHT pathway.

Stinging nettle root can ease urinary flow and calm inflammation.

Pygeum bark helps improve urinary comfort.

Zinc, copper, and selenium provide key nutrients the prostate needs for balance.

That’s why I like formulas such as Prostatrol Forte — because it combines these time-tested botanicals and nutrients into one capsule to support urinary flow, hormone balance, and overall prostate health.

💙 And personally, I trust Prostatrol Forte for the men I love in my own family.

Every morning, I am reminded of what a precious gift it is to see my dad in his garden. This little place has become his sanctuary — a place of healing, renewal, and quiet joy. 🌱

I love that he leans on his innate wisdom for health and vitality. He doesn't use fancy technologies to monitor his health. Instead, he finds vitality from the sun, the nurturing soil, the fresh air...

There’s something profoundly beautiful about watching him trust what his body and spirit already know — that health is not just found in pills, but also in daily rituals, in nourishing the land, and in letting nature pour life back into you.

His garden isn’t just producing vegetables — it’s producing vitality, resilience, and peace. And to witness that every morning is a gift I’ll never take for granted. 🌞🍃🥒

Do I think autism is due entirely to prenatal Tylenol exposure? No
Do I think there's enough evidence to be cautious about taking Tylenol during pregnancy? Yes
But here is the thing: rarely is any health issue due to just one cause.
It usually is a storm of factors.
Don't go down to that guilt rabbit hole.
Remember, you have always done your best, with the knowledge and tools you had at that moment in time.
