We are excited that Dr. Laurie K Mischley , ND, PhD, MPH, will be joining the speaker line-up at YOPD-CON to share the impact of nutrition on PD. Dr. Mischley is a naturopathic clinician, researcher, writer, and educator who is focused on finding the answers to make Parkinson’s reversible and preventable.

✨Don’t just take our word for it - YOPD-CON is inspiring, rewarding, even life-changing! Hear what 2023 attendees had to say:

“All I can speak is of high praise, joy, and hope for my (now much larger) community that is a direct result of this conference. This has been a life-changer for us. Before this event, we literally had never met anyone our age with Parkinson's. Additionally, we have heard real, true and ACTIONABLE next steps. There's no way to quantify how beneficial this was.”

“Definitely have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!”

“This was so amazing! Thank y'all for the time/effort you put in. The event was fantastic and very well done. Will def be back.”

We are a local chapter of American Parkinson Disease Association, which is the country’s oldest and largest grassroots organization serving the Parkinson’s community. APDA aims to fulfill our mission locally by everyday providing the support, education, and research that will help everyone impacted by Parkinson’s disease live life to the fullest. This dual mission of helping people live better today, while also fighting for a better tomorrow is unique in the Northwest.
