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.

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.

Herzlich Wollkommen bei meinem Podcast. Ich habe vor gut 2 Jahren diesen Podcast gestartet weil ich selbst an Parkinson erkrankt bin und mich auf die Suche nach positiven Geschichten zum Thema Parkinson gemacht habe. Dabei spreche ich mit den Menschen, die sich damit am besten auskennen: Betroffene und Angehörige. Angefangen habe ich mit 50 Menschen in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz in deutscher Sprache. In diesem Jahr habe ich das Glück Gäste aus aller Welt in meinem Podcast begrüßen zu dürfen und daher gibt es inzwischen auch einige Folgen in englischer Sprache. Diese ist eine davon! Ich empfehle dir daher, dir die englische Originalfolge anzuhören, darin kannst du Larry sozusagen live sprechen hören. Falls du aber die Folge lieber auf Deutsch hören magst habe ich sie hier für dich übersetzt mit der großartigen Hilfe von Gunnar Sahr, der Larrys Synchronstimme spricht. Für das heutige Podcastinterview bin ich virtuell nach Kanada gereist und habe den großartigen Larry Gifford getroffen. Larry ist ein professioneller Talk Radio Director, leidenschaftlicher Podcaster und engagierte Interessenvertreter für Menschen mit Parkinson. Vor allem aber ist er ein wunderbarer Mensch mit viel Charme, Humor und einem großen Herz. Also begleite mich und triff Larry Gifford. Ich verspreche dir, du wirst diese Podcastfolge nicht vergessen!

Welcome to my podcast which is about living positively with Parkinson‘s disease. My name is Kathrin Wersing, I live in Germany and I started this podcast about 2 years ago because I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 40 and I was looking for positive stories about PD. In my podcast I talk to experts: people who actually live with PD and their family members. I started with 50 inspiring people in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This year, I am happy to welcome guests from all over the world to my podcast, so there are now some episodes in English language as well. And this is one of them! For today's podcast interview, I virtually traveled to Canada and met the wonderful Larry Gifford. Larry is a professional talk radio director, passionate podcaster, and dedicated advocate for people with Parkinson's. But most of all, he is a wonderful person with a lot of charm, humor and a big heart. So join me and meet Larry Gifford. I promise you won't forget this interview!

This episode is dedicated to our dog Nina. We mention her a couple times in here.

This is part one of three for a mini-series of episodes we are calling “The Talk.” Hosts Larry and Rebecca Gifford are also the guests this week. They will check on how each other is doing physically and emotionally. They will talk about personal priorities, advocacy, and how chronic disease changes and challenges the dynamics of a family. We will also get into what gives us hope. In part one, that you are about to hear – we are talking about where our life sits from a practical perspective, the joys and pressures. Also, what we are discovering about what we need as people and a family to maintain balance and productivity in our relatively new life where Parkinson's is a main character. We are figuring out how to take true breaks, a concept and practice that changes its meaning constantly and looks different as Parkinson's progresses. And we're relearning how energy conservation and awareness affects our wellbeing and ability to be present and as healthy as possible. Thank you for listening.

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Monday, March 15th. We begin with a look at the “Phase 2A” rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in our Province. We get clarification of who's now eligible to get the ‘jab' – with Dr. Ted Jablonski – our “on-call” family physican. It's an alarming stat surrounding the rate of increasing diabetes cases in Alberta. We speak with a specialist in Diabetes and Endocrinology – on why the number of people diagnosed with the disease has doubled in the past 15 years – and what needs to be done to lower the number of cases. Next we launch our “Better Home Series” – focusing on the many ways to upgrade or update your home. We kick things off with the ‘heart' of any home – the Furnace - as we catch up with Dareck Makowski – owner of “Furnace Family”. And finally – This is ‘Brain Awareness Week'. We get details on an upcoming webinar which focuses on the state of Parkinson's Disease research. We speak with Larry Gifford, host of the award-winning podcast: “When Life Gives You Parkinson's”.

Twenty years ago today (2/24) we lost a great friend and a cherished radio companion when Rick Honey lost his courageous battle with cancer. Rick left CKNW in 1997, but afternoon host Jon McComb asked a group of Rick's friends to join him in this tribute shortly after his passing. I was honoured to be there along with Wayne Cox, Neil Soper and Mel Zajac. Another Vancouver broadcast legend, Fred Latremouille, joined us by telephone from Hawaii. My thanks to Larry Gifford, CKNW and Corus Entertainment for permission to replay the show. How do you sum up Rick's life and the impact he had on all of us? His old friend Wayne Cox said it best: "I first met Rick when he joined NW to host the 3 to 6 'Road Show' when Brian Forst moved to the morning show. I was hosting the noon to 3 shift, so we crossed over every day, and developed a strong off air relationship as the years went along. Rick would arrive for his shift more often than not, dressed in a jacket and tie. I had to remind him that he didn't have to do that, it was radio! But the truth was, he was usually coming to work after attending meetings or luncheons downtown, and was dressed more for that than his work on the radio. He had a wonderful list of contacts in the city. Rick knew all the powerful and influential people in town, and they all knew him. Nobody could throw a house party quite like Rick. He had a marvelous way of attracting friends from all walks of life. When you went to a Rick Honey party you never knew who you would meet. There were the obvious radio and TV friends, but you could also be partying with a fisherman from Richmond, a car dealer from Surrey... you just never knew, and it was always a fun night with lots of music and lots of laughs. I was witness to the early days of Rick's passion for magic. Every day before his shift, and while mine was ending, he'd try out the vanishing coin trick on me, then it was the vanishing foam balls, the silks, it went on and on and he got very good. He started using his magic act as part of his MC work at dinners and conventions. Add to that his gift of comedy, and Rick became the Master of all the masters of ceremonies in this city. Rick was one of the only 'NW staffers who reached out to me after I left. Always checking in to see how things were going, making sure everything was alright. Something I've never forgotten about him. He was a terrific talent, and a wonderful friend. And he left us way too early."
Trump supporters violently stormed the US Capitol today, on a historic and tragic day. The worst might still be yet to come. We first chat with Larry Gifford, program director at CKNW, and an American from Ohio who is living here in Vancouver. Then we went to Joshua Melvin, AFP journalist who's been reporting all afternoon from Capitol Hill
This season we are talking a lot about Parkinson’s advocacy. From advocating for yourself with your doctor to people with Parkinson’s communicating with law makers, and others who are educating, participating in research or sharing their story whether through a podcast, a blog, a book, Social Media, magazines, or one on one conversations with a friend. In this episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s, host Larry Gifford introduces you to Parkinson’s advocate Christine Jeyachandran. Christine is an Australian living in Peru with her family. They met in Japan at the World Parkinson Congress where she was a finalist in the video competition. Her video tracked her journey to learn gymnastics with PD and ultimately achieve a handstand. Now Christine brings hope, urgency and education to her Parkinson’s advocacy through her website and videos at www.handstandforparkinson.com. Thank you for listening.

While they are certainly two different things, we compiled them into one segment. One is serious, one not as much. First we chat with Cpl Elenore Sturko with Surrey RCMP who has some advice for the sextortion attempts going around. Then we chat with Larry Gifford, National Director of Talk Radio, Corus Entertainment, about a recent Zoom bombing experience involving hardcore porn.
In this special Parkinson’s Awareness Month episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s, I chat with Heather Kennedy. Heather, recently named an Ambassador to the World Parkinson Congress 2022, is a fierce Parkinson’s advocate from San Francisco. Heather tackles some tough topics; being a woman with PD, dating with bladder urgency, and depression. “Depression? It’s tricky,” she says. “It creeps up, it lies to you, it tells you that you’re nothing, that you’re useless, and that there are millions and billions of people and you don’t matter.” Heather’s action plan for emerging from the darkness includes volunteering and making small positive gestures to people in her community. It gives her something to cling to when the blanket of depression envelops her, “When depression tries to get me, I think ‘hey, people might be depending on me. I’m going to get up for them.’” The former film and photography production assistant shares her journey online through her alter-ego Kathleen Kiddo, a pen name and a license to be a raw, real and revealing. “I’ve always kept a journal and I love it. It’s a way to clarify and share with the world. It’s a little window to these stories, miraculous stories – some of which I don’t even know where they come from. They don’t even belong to me.” When you read her social media posts and blog or watch her videos, you quickly realize Heather is funny, bright, sarcastic, creative, inspiring and always finding new, amazing ways to share her Parkinson’s story.

Today, Carole James made a tragic announcement, that she was diagnosed with Parkinson's. For a conversation about the importance of this announcement we chat with our boss, Larry Gifford. Larry also has Parkinson's, and has built a podcast around it called 'When Life Gives you Parkinson's'
This week on the podcast, we’re talking about writing as a life skill. Learning to access your own inherent creativity can be a powerful tool for any of us dealing with challenge and change. For folks with Parkinson’s in their lives, it can offer both physical and emotional benefits. Science agrees! Studies and reputable sources tell us that writing and other forms of creative expression can reduce stress, help with sleep, improve cognition, improve your mood, help manage symptoms of depression, lower blood pressure, improve lung and liver functioning and decrease time spent in the hospital. Beyond the more measurable benefits, I believe — because I’ve experienced it and seen it over and over — that learning to access that beautiful creative space we all have can bring balance and even peace when you’re feeling overwhelmed. It can help us change our relationship with Parkinson’s Disease, or any of life’s challenges, by giving us a safe and healthy place to express our feelings and thoughts, explore our inner life, find perspective and guide us toward a way to move through those dark times. Often, acknowledging what you’re experiencing by simply writing it down is a critical first step towards healing. If we take it to the next level, there are even more benefits to be found. When we are courageous enough to share our expressions, we all benefit. Stories bind us. They reveal our shared humanity through humour, drama and vulnerability. Writing about our worst and best moments and everything in between can light the way and inspire others dealing with pain or adversity...which is all of us, really. Offering glimpses into our inner lives gives us in the Parkinson’s community an opportunity to support and strengthen each other. However you choose, express yourself! If you feel compelled, share it with others. No matter what, it’s good for you and time well spent. Who knows? Writing those first few words can be a step on a new path towards greater wellness. —- This week’s show notes were contributed by Rebecca Gifford, writer, workshop facilitator, partner in Parkinson’s to this podcast’s creator and host Larry Gifford, and this episode’s co-host.

Late last week, our boss Larry Gifford told us about a story he had involving a cab driver. Turns out, he wasn't alone by a long shot.
In this episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s, Larry Gifford talks with three friends with Parkinson’s who set out to test the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual limits of the human body after diagnosis. What they discovered was that challenges in life, no matter how extreme, are easier and more rewarding when you build a community of support around you and allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to ask for help. For many people with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD), the Parkinson’s journey can start as a lonely, aimless, hopeless, and dark ride. It takes time to begin to see the light. A year after his diagnosis in 2011, Tim Hague, then 45, applied for the first season of Amazing Race Canada with his son and won. His life and advocacy since then is quite an unsolvable dichotomy for Tim,“Parkinson's has given me far more than it's taken,” Hague says. “I mean, Parkinson's gave me the Amazing Race, The Amazing Race gave us a huge financial payout in winning it, right? It was in winning the race that threw open the door to speaking and that threw open the door to writing a book. And I mean, Parkinson's has been a massive blessing in our life. And that's really difficult to wrap your head around because I hate Parkinson's. I hate it with a passion. There's not been a single day I've ever woke up and thought I was happy to have Parkinson's.” Tim is the founder of U-Turn Parkinson’s, a Canadian charity with a mission to empower people living with Parkinson’s in their pursuit of wellness. Jimmy Choi was 27 when he was diagnosed. He spent eight years denying his Parkinson’s, before he began to take it seriously. He started with a walk around the block. That turned into a jog, a run and eventually he ran a 5K. In the 8 years that followed, he has competed in over 100 half-marathons, 15 marathons, an ultramarathon and raised over $250,000 for Parkinson’s research. His advocacy hit new heights when he appeared twice on the NBC TV show American Ninja Warrior. The further he gets along on his journey, the more realizes he is not alone, “I think for a person with Parkinson's, it all starts with being open, accepting, really comfortable telling their story and not afraid to ask for help. You know, don't be that stubborn person. Don't be Superman.” Bret Parker, 54, is the Executive Director of the New York Bar Association. He’s also known as the guy with Parkinson’s who ran seven marathons on seven continents, in seven days. “You know, it really, really was tough. I mean, it was really tough at times.” Parker painfully remembers struggle to finish the races. However, he did have an epiphany through it all, “I also realized that there's a point when relying on people is okay. I'm a very independent person. All of these events that I've done have been a part of: individual races and individual activities. You know, I'm not much of a team sports player, but it's okay to have people supporting you and cheering you on and leaning on them.” Parker’s personal mantra is “Do epic shit!” And he does. Each year, he raises money for Parkinson’s research by competing in extreme physical activities from skydiving and triathons to 100 mile bike rides in severe conditions. He’s personally raised more than $500,000 for the Michael J Fox Foundation. Thank you for listening.

Larry Gifford is a 40-something husband and father with a career. He’s also living with Parkinson’s and is learning how to navigate his life with his family post diagnosis. He opens up about his struggles and some of the biggest questions he’s received from his nine-year-old son. Larry is a senior program director for Corus Vancouver. He has his own podcast called When Life Gives You Parkinson's. Sugar sometimes gets a bad reputation, especially when it comes to kids. When children start bouncing off the walls, sugar often gets the blame. However, research suggests there’s no such thing as a sugar high in kids. The myth was debunked by a group of American researchers in the 1990s, but parents continue to insist sugar impacts their kids’ behaviour. We take a look at why that is. Plus, registered dietician Lesley Langille from the Centre For Family Nutrition in Calgary weighs in to explain how much sugar is OK for kids and how to manage it over the holidays.

My name is Larry Gifford. I am 46 and navigating life with a degenerative brain disease, which has no cure. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in August 2017 after years of collecting what I thought were disconnected symptoms. I shuffled when I walked, I lost my sense of smell, and eventually it was tremors that scared me enough to seek help. On this week’s episode, my co-host Niki Reitmayer, and I explore my diagnosis, the symptoms, the drugs, and the emotions. I take you into my home to find out how my wife Rebecca and 9-year old son Henry are dealing with it, get inspiration and perspective from Nashville singer-songwriter Emily Chambers whose Dad has Parkinson’s and refreshing frankness from my appearance on the Sickboy Podcast. A Parkinson’s diagnosis is tough in many aspects; it’s clinically difficult for neurologists, it is personally difficult for friends and family, and it’s physically, emotionally and mentally taxing on the person with it – is it a frenemy for life?

When we met Larry he was literally shaking in his boots. Could have been from the excitement of recording an episode of Sickboy, but it's more likely due to the Parkinson's disease. It's an episode full of horrible puns and we touch on, hallucinations, gene hunting, Levodopa Carbidopa (the drug, not the children's folksong warning of evil witches in the woods.) Lover VS Caretaker, and of course what the hell Parkinson's is all about!

It's an episode full of horrible puns and we touch on, hallucinations, gene hunting, Levodopa Carbidopa (the drug, not the children's folksong warning of evil witches in the woods.) Lover VS Caretaker, and of course what the hell Parkinson's is all about! Also check out Larry's podcast "When Life Gives You Parkinson's" on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your weekly podcasts!

Larry Gifford has worked at great radio stations across the U.S.A. like KIRO in Seattle and Sports radio 710 ESPN in LA. After a stint in consulting, he found his way north to CKNW in Vancouver where he watched the American Election of a lifetime unfold from the other side of the border. Larry also has a podcast called “Radio Stuff” which is now out of hibernation and sponsored by the same people who support this podcast - http://www.promosuite.com/soundoff - I also asked him about his home state of Ohio - and why is serves as the American political barometer; and we shared our podcast knowledge with one another. This episode is brought to you by Logic and the new cloud based software Lens. http://go.nlogic.ca/l/130651/2017-02-02/khtd2 Finally - take our survey for the podcast here. http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=c-pwg3hNJ1tz&ver=standard
Coined by educator Robin DiAngelo, the term “white fragility” refers to the emotional, defensive reaction some white people have to discussions of race. To explore the concept, Hannah and Denise revisit a recent conversation between Denise and a radio host that got more than a little bit uncomfortable. We talk to: Robin DiAngelo, CKNW program director Larry Gifford, and former CKNW host Ian Power and producer Zameer Karim
