Did you know that RBD – REM sleep behavior disorder, or acting out dreams -- can be an early indicator of Parkinson's? Many people develop sleep issues as they age — with and without PD. Join host Larry Gifford in a rich discussion with expert Stephen Joza, MD, PhD; Allen Dance, recently diagnosed with RBD; and Richie Rothenberg, patient advisor to The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF), with his care partner Julie Merson, on why sleep is important, strategies to tackle sleep problems and the importance of participating in research studies like MJFF's Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). The PPMI study is learning more about the connection between RBD and Parkinson's to understand who gets the disease, who doesn't and why. And those insights could lead to better treatments and cures.

The last time we had Dani Stover on the show, she was between opportunities and wondering what her relationship with radio should be shaped like. It turns out that she has answered that question and the answer is a new role in the evenings on 640 Toronto. Over the last while she has been producing alongside daytime host Kelly Cutrara and now Dani takes control of 7-10pm in the region on 640 Toronto, 900 CHML Hamilton and 980 CFPL in London.In this episode, Dani and I dive into what we expect to hear in the evenings in Toronto, why this position is the best one for her right now and what we can expect when she launches the new 640 Toronto Podcast in the coming weeks or months. We also dug into the silliness of social media and what constitutes the right amount of usage for her needs.Shoutout to Larry Gifford who is the lead of News/Talk content at Corus.

Geoff Constable is a PD Avenger and an Ambassador for the World Parkinson Congress 2023 in Barcelona. We met at the last WPC2019 in Kyoto. Like many of us with YOPD, Geoff's diagnosis was delayed six years as doctors tried to figure out root issue of his symptoms. In 2008, at the age of 50, he finally was able to put a name to the issues he had, Parkinson's disease. Geoff spent his teen years sleeping on friends couches and sometimes living on the street. He earned a degree in Naval Architecture and designed 16 Ships for the Royal Australian Navy and spent countless hours battle testing the ships in extreme conditions.  At 44-years old he talked to his doctor about onsetting symptoms. It took six years to diagnose him with Young Onset Parkinson's. He was happy to have a name for it, but bummed because there was no cause, no cure, and no standard disease path.  Listen to how Geoff took his diagnosis of Parkinson's and discovered his own superpowers on how to incorporate and accept it. Using his own body as vessel, he put himself through battle testing and discovered he was capable of far more than he or his doctors believed possible.  EMAIL Larry and Rebecca: ParkinsonsPod@curiouscast.ca Have questions, comments, or a story idea?

Dave Iverson was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2004. He is a founding member of The Michael J Fox Foundation (MJFF) Patient Council and was the first host of the MJFF Parkinson's Podcast. We caught up at a patient council meeting in New York City to chat about his new book “Winter Stars.”  Parkinson's runs deep in Dave's family, but this book is not strictly about Parkinson's. It's about family, life choices and a bone between a mother and son.  At the age of 59, having spent nearly forty years in public broadcasting, Dave paused his career. His 95-year old mother had a rough bout with pneumonia and couldn't care for herself anymore. So, he paused his career, moved in with her and became her caregiving.   That decision resulted in a decade of self-discovery, an odyssey that forced Dave to come face to face with his personal weaknesses and uncharacteristic anger, while strengthening the bond to his mother and learning to live with, learn from and love dementia.  Winter Stars by Dave Iverson is available wherever you buy your books.  EMAIL Larry and Rebecca: ParkinsonsPod@curiouscast.ca Have questions, comments, or a story idea?

SUMMARY: In the book, “Mary & Me,” author Robyn Cotton draws upon her own experiences with Parkinson's in a fictional novel based in contemporary times and early 1800's London, England when Dr. James Parkinson was roaming the streets and noticing a condition, he called shaky palsy. Not often does Parkinson's play such a key role in a fictional piece of work, Robyn's journey grounds the book in near-real experiences as she and her characters struggle with the degenerative brain disease.  EMAIL Larry and Rebecca: ParkinsonsPod@curiouscast.ca Have questions, comments, or a story idea?
