When people think about Parkinson's they probably don't picture a 36-year-old who just finished a 12-year career in the NBA or a single mom with young kids. But Parkinson's can affect anyone. In this episode, Brian and Heather are joined by special guests Amber Hesford and Kevin Kwok to talk about the need for better representation in the Parkinson's community.

Regular exercise, a nutritious diet and other healthy habits can have a positive impact on Parkinson's symptoms and quality of life. But when life gets tough, it's easy to neglect physical and mental health. In this episode, Brian and Heather discuss the benefits and challenges of adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Even in the best of times, parenting can be hard. When you're parenting with Parkinson's, getting yourself and your kids ready for the day and managing activities has added complications. Plus, there's the emotional toll that a Parkinson's diagnosis can have on a family. In this episode, Brian and Heather discuss being the parents of young kids when they were diagnosed with Parkinson's.

Connecting with other people is one of the great joys of life. When you're living with Parkinson's, navigating the social world and communicating about the disease can lead some people to start isolating. In this episode, Brian and Heather discuss how they navigate social situations, including dating. 

On Time is a podcast about living with Parkinson's disease. Co-hosts Brian Grant and Heather Kennedy share their candid stories of daily living with young onset Parkinson's, discussing topics like socializing, dating, parenting and the benefits and challenges of adopting a healthy lifestyle. On Time: A Parkinson's Podcast is coming April 1 from the Brian Grant Foundation.
