As a former college athlete, sales executive, and father of two, I thrived on living life to the fullest until a "nervous tick" in my left arm led to a life-changing diagnosis of young onset Parkinson's Disease in 2016 at age 42. The tick developed into a severe tremor affecting my left side, causing constant pain, embarrassment, and a sharp decline in my quality of life. I struggled with daily activities and business meetings, and intense situations like coaching my son's basketball games became nearly unbearable. In 2020, I discovered a clinical trial for Focused Ultrasound, a promising new tremor treatment. Thanks to a supportive employer and a dedicated medical team at the University of Pennsylvania, I underwent this transformative therapy in June 2022. On June 9, 2022, I traveled to the University of Pennsylvania filled with hope but anxious about the procedure. During the MRI, I experienced intense physical and emotional strain. However, after the third sonication, I felt my tremors cease and my muscles relax for the first time in years. It was a profound moment of relief and stillness. Since then, I've shared my Parkinson's journey and Focused Ultrasound experience at Capitol Hill, Princeton University, and Rock Steady Boxing. These encounters have shown me the hope my story brings but also highlighted the challenges many face in accessing this treatment. This realization led to the creation of the Be Still Foundation to address these issues and support others in need. https://www.bestill.foundation

In this episode, exercise specialist and boxing coach Nicole Morton leads a discussion giving an overview on Parkinson's disease, how it affects the body, and how boxing has helped some patients ease their symptoms.

“Parkinson's Disease is a gift,” said Michael J. Fox. “It's a gift that keeps taking because it's really opened me up to more compassion.” Another person with Parkinson's explained, “Stories can connect with people in a way that facts and scientific reports can't.”   This Thursday you can hear the stories of three people with Parkinson's, and the founder of Bridges for Parkinson's.   The three with Parkinson's are . . .             Wes Yoder – owner of Ambassador Speakers Bureau and Literary Agency, Wes started and is director of Middle Tennessee New Canaan Society . . . and your friend.             Joel Anderson – one of the best graphic artists I know. He is probably best known around here for his Spirit of Nashville posters and best known nationally for his National Parks posters, books, calendars, and gifts.             Bob Gurich – a Christian marriage and family counselor from Spring Hill. You may know Bob because he has been a regular with us at Puckett's.   And Colleen Bridges, an amazing personal trainer who eight years ago began Rock Steady Boxing to help those with Parkinson's maintain strength, balance, and endurance.   Chances are you won't get Parkinson's. One percent of people over 60 get it; most are men. But you do have friends with Parkinson's Disease. You owe it to yourself and them to hear these stories. And to hear Rich Gootee's song about living with Parkinson's, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDtbvzIVkEg. Rich, a Nashville singer-songwriter with Parkinson's, works out at Rock Steady Boxing.  

Fitness as medicine. Rock Steady Boxing is a non profit fitness studio focusing on Parkinson's treatment through movement.  This talk with Chris Timberlake was eye opening and emotional. It's different than other FWW Podcast but I hope you click play and listen because everyone will benefit from this episode. https://www.rocksteadyboxing.org/  https://www.instagram.com/rock_steady_boxing/  ❖ How To Support FWW Pod? ❖ 

Rock Steady Boxing is a non-contact, boxing-inspired fitness program for people with Parkinson's disease to improve balance, gait and quality of life. Michelle Del Giorno, the owner of Epic Martial Arts in Sag Harbor and the head coach at Rock Steady Boxing Sag Harbor, joins the editors on the podcast to share how, over the past seven years, more than 250 students have passed through the program, a national affiliate taught locally through Stony Brook Southampton Hospital's Center for Parkinson's Disease at Del Giorno's dojo and in Hampton Bays with Seth Greiner and Breahna Arnold, as well as on Zoom.

About one million Americans are currently living with Parkinson's disease.  It is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Nearly 90,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed each year and in 2023, I  joined the ranks with my own PD diagnosis. With April being Parkinson's Awareness Month, I thought it right  to present an informative and inspiring podcast about Parkinson's  impact, the research and progress in the search for better treatments, and the attention to lifestyle changes ( nutrition, sleep and most importantly exercise) that can mitigate symptoms and lead to a more full and active life. My guests include Cathi Thomas, RN, Assistant Clinical Professor of Neurology and Director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Center at the Boston University Medical Campus and Brett Miller, founder of 110 Fitness Center in Rockland, Massachusetts. 110 Fitness is the first of its kind inclusive wellness center for individuals afflicted with Parkinson's and other developmental or physical disability.  Brett leads us in Rock Steady Boxing, a proven athletic therapy for PD, but there is a lot more to learn about what he and his team are doing to help the community. As always I wish you the very best and remember to be well, so you can do good! - JR.

Phil Gee was first diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in 2015, one year after retiring from a very successful thirty-three-year career holding a number of engineering, manufacturing and supply chain senior level positions. Since his PD diagnosis, Phil and his wife, Julia (who first met in the 1st grade & have been married for 36 years), have become active advocates for others living with PD and their care partners. In 2017, they moved from metro Atlanta to Hilton Head, and immediately joined the local Rock Steady Boxing program, an intensive boxing/exercise program that has proven to slow the progression of  Parkinson's Disease, which is  incurable.They began to look throughout the South Carolina Lowcountry and didn't really see other Black people who said that they had PD. That started their journey to become PD advocates, helping others with PD and their care partners to learn more about PD and how to live a better life with the disease. Phil has served four years on the Parkinson's Foundation People with Parkinson's Advisory Council. Julia is currently on the Advisory Board for the Foundation's Carolina Chapter, and chairs their local PD Support & PD Care Partner Support groups. Together they have participated as panelists and speakers in a number of PD symposiums, co-chaired multiple Parkinson's Foundation Moving Day Fundraisers, and participated in several pharmaceutical focus groups/patient panels. Today, they are active with the Special Interest Group – Black Diaspora steering committee working to drive development of solutions to mitigate health disparities in the Black Community with a focus on issues of the Black PD Community.Evelyn Stevens, MPH, is the Senior Director of Community Engagement at the Parkinson's Foundation since September 2022.

Can exercise bring hope to people afflicted with something as serious as Parkinson's disease, a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and parts of the body controlled by the nerves?People are saying that regular exercise helps those afflicted – particularly exercises associated with boxing, as my guest today will explain. Chris Timberlake was there at the beginning of Rock Steady Boxing Inc., which is based in Indianapolis and has affiliates in all 50 states and 17 countries. It followed the diagnosis of Chris's husband and their friend about 20 years ago, and their mission is one of hope and community for thousands of people with Parkinson's and their families.ResourcesRock Steady BoxingLife Priority Supplements -- Affiliate Discount  hereNaamly – Support our advertiser, who helps you keep in touch with your membersFunctional Aging Institute -- Use FAIMM50 discount codePrime Fit Content – Engage the over-50 market

Senior Soup Podcast hosts Raquel Micit and Ryan Miner welcome Dawn Lewis, the development manager in the Mid-Atlantic for the Parkinson's Foundation, as their special guest.  This is Episode 12 of The Senior Soup Podcast Dawn has been with the Parkinson's Foundation for three and a half years, transitioning from working with the Alzheimer's Association.  This podcast explores the causes and early signs of Parkinson's Disease and how to raise awareness about the disease.  Some research suggests that exposure to pesticides could cause the disease, and 15% of people may have a genetic marker linked to it.  A national study called the PD GENEration was launched to study the disease further. Participants can learn more about Parkinson's and potentially identify a genetic marker. Those interested in participating can contact Dawn Lewis for more information. The Parkinson's Foundation is hosting its annual Moving Day event on Saturday, May 6th, 2023, on the National Mall to celebrate movement, fundraise, and connect those with Parkinson's - and their families - with pharmaceutical companies and additional resources that can provide treatments.  Moving Day attendees will participate in Rock Steady Boxing, a popular form of exercise, and a mini-workout. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear real stories and experiences from people living with Parkinson's and family members with loved ones lost to Parkinson's. A DJ will provide music, and people can bring their whole family and pets. The event is a great way to raise research funds and awareness about Parkinson's and its effects. Throughout Raquel and Ryan's interview with Dawn, they discussed the symptoms and early detection of Parkinson's disease.  Dawn explained that tremors are the most common symptom, but other signs include low voice, small handwriting, and shuffling. She encouraged people to reach out to a doctor if they notice any of these symptoms, as Parkinson's can be difficult to diagnose.  A doctor, Dawn says, will conduct a physical exam and ask patients to complete specific movements to establish a baseline.  Levodopa is a common medication prescribed to Parkinson's patients if the doctor feels the need to correct some symptoms. Dawn said there is no average age for someone diagnosed with Parkinson's. The Parkinson's Foundation website offers helpful resources for those with Parkinson's, including a Parkinson's Hospital Care Kit.  ABOUT THE SENIOR SOUP PODCAST Visit The Senior Soup's website to learn more about The Senior Soup Podcast and its resources for seniors in the DMV area.  https://theseniorsoup.com/episodes/ The Senior Soup Podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-senior-soup-podcast/id1648060056 The Senior Soup Podcast on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0YgexcbECb13cuqmo4IZuO The Senior Soup Podcast on Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3NlbmlvcnNvdXBwb2RjYXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s The Senior Soup Podcast on Amazon Music https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/f4707453-c933-43e7-a568-e8b6dba32d87/the-senior-soup-podcast

Today in studio Guest: Lisa Oliver & Yvette Israel Subject:Rock Steady Boxing: Fighting the Debilitating Effects of Parkinson's Disease

In this episode, Polly talks with Occupational Therapist, Eryn Donnellon all about heart rate variability and how it can serve as as therapeutic tool when managing anxiety.Heart rate variability is literally the difference in time between the beats of your heart, and is a function of our autonomic nervous system.  Heart rate variability biofeedback can help mitigate the effects of anxiety by slowing the nervous system's fight or flight response. Tune in to hear how rehab professionals can use this tool to help patient's affected by anxiety and what the latest research says about the use of heart rate variability to address mental health. Eryn Donnellon, OTR/L is an Occupational Therapist at The Recovery Project. She started at The Recovery Project as a rehab tech in 2018, and returned in 2021. Eryn has worked at all three TRP locations, most recently in Livonia and Clinton. Eryn is a certified Rock Steady Boxing coach, and Brain Injury Specialist through the Academy of Certified Brain Injury Specialists, and most recently became certified as  Heartmath Trauma Counselor. Eryn has a passion with mental health disorders in the neuro population and is excited about the opportunity to use the current research to improve mental health and wellbeing in our clientele.Learn more about The Recovery Project!

Born and raised in Cleveland, TN, Dina Dell has been a lover of fitness from a young age. A self proclaimed "party runner," Dina loves to make connections and build relationships over activity, which she has the opportunity to do regularly as a trainer at the YMCA. Beyond fitness, Dina uses her love of movement to inspire and challenge people of all ages and abilities -- like her Rock Steady Boxing class for those with Parkinson's --  to go beyond what they thought their limits were and amaze themselves. 

This week I interviewed Todd Wadler, CEO of Box Union and Title Boxing Club, and Felicia Alexander CRO of Box Union and Title Boxing Club, and it was clear that their partnership plays on both of their strengths. This pair is bold and thoughtful, which you'll hear throughout the episode. And if you're wondering how you missed that Box Union, which had three locations before the pandemic, acquired Title Boxing Club, you'll hear all about it in the episode. Luckily, or because Todd had the foresight that Box Union needed to raise as much money as possible, Box Union was extremely well capitalized before the pandemic. So, when opportunity came knocking, they were ready to acquire it. And overnight, they were the largest boxing brand in the United States. More on that from Club Industry here. There's a saying in boxing that the punch you don't see coming is the one that knocks you out - I think we can safely say no one saw that gigantic move coming. They also give incredible guidance for leading a team that I took notes on during our interview, because I never want to forget it. So, if you hear a little clickity clack when they're explaining their playbook on culture that's why. You'll hear more on this later, but be ready to open the notes app on your phone to write down "Freedom within a framework," having a "Growth mindset" and the idea of "we not me." We also spend some time talking about an organization that is close to my family's heart: Rock Steady Boxing, a boxing program that was created to provide a uniquely effective form of physical exercise to people who are living with Parkinson's Disease. My father-in-law was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the past few years, and he found his way to Rock Steady Boxing, which helps him in innumerable ways. One tangible way Rock Steady Boxing helps folks with Parkinson's, according to The New York Times is this: “Boxing's varied and high-intensity workouts offer a blend of strength and cardiovascular conditioning that improves agility, coordination and balance, and which may be especially beneficial for people with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.”Felicia recently joined the board at Rock Steady Boxing and is helping to bring the organization to even more locations.Resources:Box UnionBox Union on InstagramTitle Boxing ClubTitle Boxing Club on InstagramMore on Box Union's acquisition of Title Boxing ClubRock Steady BoxingThe New York Times, For Some Parkinson's Patients, Boxing Can Be TherapyAnd because we LOVE giving listeners a little something special, you can get a totally free month of membership to Title Boxing Club OnDemand.

In this episode Dr. Hyland interviews Kristen Phelps, personal trainer and Rock Steady Boxing Coach. She is located specifically in Tulsa, OK and her RSB affiliate programs take place in her gym Impact Fitness. Rock Steady Boxing, the first boxing program of its kind in the country, was founded in 2006 by former Marion County (Indiana) Prosecutor, Scott C. Newman, who is living with Parkinson's. Rock Steady Boxing initially began through the friendship of two men, Scott Newman and Vince Perez, after Scott had been diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's at the age of 40. Refusing to let his friend go down without a fight, Vince turned to his experience as a Golden Gloves boxer to design a program that attacks Parkinson's at its vulnerable neurological points.

This April (Parkinson's Awareness Month) we want to shine a spotlight on an incredible organization that helps people living with Parkinson's and their caregivers (ie. Cornermen) fight back. Parkinson's disease is a degenerative movement disorder which can cause deterioration of motor skills, balance, speech, and sensory function. The Parkinson's Foundation estimates there are more than 1 million people in the United States diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and more than 60,000 people are diagnosed each year. The cause is unknown and there is no cure; however, there is hope. Treatments utilizing medication and exercise can slow disease progression and greatly improve quality of life.In this episode we are joined by Christine Timberlake, Director of Research and Innovation at Rock Steady Boxing, Inc., the first gym in the country dedicated to the fight against Parkinson's.

Therapist, and a certified Rock Steady Boxing coach.  She also has experience working with vestibular conditions. Tricia takes us on her journey into physical therapy and how she ended up working with the Parkinson's population.  She explains why it is important for someone living with Parkinson's disease work with a therapist that is specialized in Parkinson's versus a general physical therapist.  She dives into what she is looking for during her evaluation and how she implements your treatment into your everyday activities to make life easier.  She also explains why certain exercises show more carryover than the traditional exercises most physical therapist use to treat. If you are unsure of what you should be looking for in your treatment for Parkinson's disease, Tricia gives you insightful information on what you should be doing.

Brain health in recent years has shown a significant correlation with inflammation, so diet is more important than ever. The best thing someone can do to fight back Parkinson's is exercise, sleep, and nutrition. Rock Steady Boxing has had some amazing results and is a perfect “fight back” attitude, regardless of where the person is at in their abilities.

Parkinsons er en uhelbredelig, gradvis utviklende nevrologisk sykdom som rammer i alle aldre. Foruten medisiner er det fysisk trening som kan avhjelpe symptomer og bremse sykdomsutviklingen. Treningsmetoden RockSteady Boxing (RSB) er evidensbasert og foregår uten slag til hodet og kropp – såkalt non-contact-boxing. Informasjon tatt fra Rock Steady Boxing Norway: http://rocksteadyboxing.no/

In this episode of the Postural Restoration Podcast I sat down with Jennifer Smart, PT, DPT, PRC who practices clinically in Oriental, NC incorporating PRI principles and many other modalities with her patients who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and those who she believes exhibit "Parkinson's like" symptoms before they are diagnosed. Jennifer discusses the impact that her life story has had on her clinical practice, including many trips across the Atlantic navigating the seas on her small sailboat. These experiences and interacting with a diverse set of mentors and patients have collectively led to her current understanding of neurological flow, perception of time and ground forces all used for human patterned stability. Jennifer earned both a Bachelor's of Science and Doctorate of Physical Therapy Degree and because of the influences of neurological timing and one's position in space whether at sea or on land, her interest in involuntary neurological movement disorders grew. After starting her clinical journey in Oriental, NC Jennifer sailed to Samoa and had the opportunity to work as the head Physical Therapist for the Samoan Olympic team. It was during this experience that she appreciated the influence of pressure and air flow throughout the body while working with an Olympic power lifter. After returning to the U.S. her love for cycling stemmed from her perception of time and her desire to decrease her speed of travel as her body became used to the slow, calculated and predictable movement across open water. Jennifer was introduced to the science of PRI through her cycling interest and a "Bike Fitting" article authored by Faculty Member Lori Thomsen. To this day Jennifer incorporates cycling with numerous clients who have been diagnosed with PD and other autonomic disorders.After her first few courses and clinical experimentation incorporating PRI techniques into her clinical practice she had finally felt that the patterns she had recognized through her own journey were being studied and discussed by someone else. Jennifer completed twelve courses over the span of the next two years and became certified as part of the 2015 PRC Class. Jennifer has extensive training in "LSVT", "PWR", Rock Steady Boxing, and has attended and contributed to numerous Parkinson's organizations, including the World Parkinson Congress. She has used these and various other modalities to incorporate PRI into her daily practice and weekly classes offered to her patients and individuals of all backgrounds experiencing involuntary movement disorders. Jennifer in collaboration with Ron Hruska discusses her upcoming presentations as part of this years 12th Annual Interdisciplinary Integration Symposium "Basal Ganglia Disease - An Interdisciplinary Approach in the Management of Kinesia Paradoxica" alongside Neal Hallinan. You can read more about Jennifer's topics of discussion and this years symposium held on April 22-23rd by visiting our website.

Something funny about them is that they once shared an office and it didn’t work out so well. Gigi likes to work in silence and Tony likes to tap his pen, listen to music or podcasts. They started a business called Contenders Boxing which was created originally to keep kids off the streets. While watching businesses in the old downtown Kennewick area come and go, they decided to capitalize on Gigi’s talents, which are marketing and social media. This is how their business Two Wicked Geese was formed. They have a passion for serving other small local businesses. While building Two Wicked Geese, an opportunity came along for them called Rock Steady Boxing, which is a non-contact program for patients with Parkinson’s. They started with a group of 7 patients and grew very quickly over a year to 25 patients. When adding members to their team they look for individuals that can follow directions, are coachable, a good listener and a communicator. They also look for someone who takes the initiative. They encourage their clients to do one Facebook Live per week. They point out client’s positives and then praise them for their actions. They ask them to stretch themselves, and then validate and encourage them. They try once a week to sit down together to talk about their goals and plans. They utilize white boards and set separate goals as well as goals as a couple. They firmly believe in seeing their goals written down and manifesting them by focusing on them. To keep them from procrastinating, they do a lot of batch work. It’s so easy to get distracted. They use Rescue Time app which helps them with work/life balance. Breaks are really important in this process. Their ideal day is getting to bed at 9:00, and because of Tony’s military background, he is ready for the day at 4:30 am. Tony is up and ready to workout, and Gigi is busy taking care of their son; her work day starts at about 7:30. She often goes for walks, that is followed by watching an inspirational training, then it’s time to work on a client’s project, lunch time, and they try to end their day by 3:00pm. They often start and end their day with something positive. To keep themselves motivated, they read books, watch a lot of Tony Robbins, Tim Ferris and Simon Sinek. Because they are business partners and also married, they work hard to plug into something that will inspire them in several areas. Tony and Gigi feel their secret weapon is continuing education in their field. They are continually learning. With social media they can easily connect with their greatest mentors. They are also a part of several mastermind groups. Staying current and relevant is very important in their business. Their greatest challenge as an entrepreneur is counting on the freelancers that they subcontract with. Delegating is one of Gigi’s hardest challenges. Rewards are very simple, when a client calls and says that they have received new leads due to an ad campaign. With Rocksteady Boxing the rewards may seem small but they are the things we take for granted (like dressing yourself). To clear her mind and take a break, Gigi Vacuums the house! As a family they really enjoy traveling whether it be big cities or third world countries. They really love meeting people from all over the world. Their advice for other leaders is to surround yourself with other like-minded individuals. Educate yourself: podcasts, books, programs--and prioritize self-care.

Rock Steady Boxing at the Levine JCC: In Rock Steady Boxing, Parkinson’s disease is the opponent.  Jenny Crow and Suzanne DiOrio share their journey of being Rock Steady Coaches and the impact it has made in their clients lives and their own.   http://www.charlottejcc.org/webpage-directory/fitness/rock-steady-boxing/ https://jewishcharlotte.org/community-calendar/wp-spring-event

I have never been very athletic. I have never been excited by thinking about or participating in exercise. The idea of a daily workout, gym memberships, exercise classes or scheduled physical activity of any kind has always been something other people do.  In August 2017, my neurologist Dr. Jonathon Squires at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Healthat UBC gave me a prescription for levodopa-carbidopa and a serious recommendation to exercise. Dr. Squires told me, “The only thing we know so far that slows the progression of Parkinson’s disease is physical activity. It does help control the symptoms and it does help slow the progression as far as we know. So it’s very important.” Never one to accept exercise as the answer suggested the medication might be enough. Dr. Squires rebutted, “In some ways, I feel like all the medications that we use are really just to enable people to exercise.” That’s when I realized this exercise thing is real, but I wanted to know why. I sought out Dr. A Jon Stoessl. He’s the head of Neurology at UBC, co-director of the Centre for Brain Health and one of the neurologists that has been researching the benefits of exercise for people with Parkinson’s disease. I asked if there was anything else aside from exercise I could explore. Anything. Anything? Dr. Stoessl didn’t hesitate or cushion the blow. The answer was no. He explained, “In fact, we don’t have any medical treatments that have been shown to have an impact on disease progression. So, we can treat the symptoms, but we don’t end up treating the underlying disease. Exercise may actually be the way to do that.” Research results suggest an exercise routine that consists of a combination aerobic and resistance training, four days a week, for a half-hour each day. Dr. Stoessl told me if I can still carry on a conversation while I’m working out, I’m not working out hard enough. He also offered this advice, “Do what you hate the least, because it’s no good someone prescribing you a half-hour on the treadmill every day, if you will never get on a treadmill.” So what exercise do I hate the least? In this episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s I explore a variety of exercises in search of one or some that I can commit to. I lace up boxing gloves for a Rock Steady Boxing class in at Impact Parkinson’s in New Westminster. Trainer Robyn Murrell takes people with Parkinson’s through circuit training, “You’ve got your foot work, hand-eye coordination, balance, cognitive, and speed. They can all relate somehow to all the different symptoms of Parkinson’s.” She notes the results are beyond the physical improvements, “It gives them a lot more confidence. I think that’s the biggest thing that I see.”  Through my search for an exercise right for me, I visit Rain City Fitness to try Cross Fit with Hilary Vanderliek. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s when she was 24, “I love Cross Fit because it’s given me the opportunity to realize my potential.” I also begin find physical activity and a way to retrain my brain how to walk again through Parkinson’s specific Physiotherapy. Naomi Casiro, BSc(Kin), MPT, Certified PWR! Is the founder of NeuroFit BC, “With Parkinson’s there something we call motor weakness. You know, your muscles are there and they’re ready to function, but the signals aren’t getting through.  They’re there, they just aren’t being utilized. They really want to be woken up. Right?” Casiro says waking up those motor patterns through Physiotherapy often leads to people’s functions drastically improving.   All of these experiences from the boxing ring to the Neurologist’s office have been overwhelmingly positive and encouraging. They’re all realistic and want to help me and others with Parkinson’s live our best life. Now it’s up to me to commit to being physically active, for the rest of my life, for the best chance to keep Parkinson’s from progressing faster than it wants to.  Follow me, Larry Gifford  Twitter: @ParkinsonsPod Facebook: Facebook.com/ParkinsonsPod Instagram: @parkinsonspod Follow Co-host and Producer Niki Reitmeyer Twitter: @Niki_Reitmayer Thank you to: My fellow partners in Parkinson’s: Sugar Jay Siddell and Hilary Vanderliek.

In this episode I visit a boxing gym that’s not quite what you’d expect and so much more than you think. Rock Steady Boxing is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that gives people with Parkinson’s disease hope by improving their quality of life through a non-contact boxing based fitness curriculum. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates there are more than 60,000 people in the United States diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year. Rock Steady Boxing is the first gym in the country dedicated to the fight against Parkinson’s. In this episode, I speak with individuals who have been diagnosed with this disease and who share how Rock Steady Boxing has helped to improve their life.

In the United States, there are over 1.5 million people who suffer from Parkinson's Disease. Parkinson's Disease is a progressive, degenerative disease that causes the brain to stop producing dopamine, which plays a key role in brain-to-muscle communication. There is no cure. Luckily, those with Parkinson's still have a way to fight this terrible disease, thanks to organizations like Rock Steady Boxing- Albany, and PD Active. Rock Steady Boxing, which has 454 locations all over the country, uses various boxing training regiments as a way to utilize movement to combat the diseased degenerative effects. PD Active is a non-profit based in Berkeley that looks to find and create programs, much like Rock Steady Boxing, that provide support for those who deal with Parkinson's Disease. Our guests in today's episode are Daniel Burkhart, trainer at Rock Steady Boxing- Albany, and Judith Lubman, one of the acting board members for PD Active.

Tough Talk Christian Radio with Host Tony Gambone and Special Guest Jonathan McCormick and Kenji Gallo: Jonathan McCormick is nobody that anyone would know. My life has been a winding road as with most people. Incredible blessings, troubles, and mistakes. Lot's of learning and a deep need for grace, coupled with an insatiable desire to get to the bottom of things. My gift in life is that I notice things which others overlook. I have kept this gift to myself until recently. But, I am discovering that the truth was meant to be shared and will canker your soul away as sure as cancer if you don't get it out and for that reason, I have begun to share the things I see with the world. http://jamccormick.net/ Kenji Gallo was in the Mafia for 20 years. I wore a wire for the FBI for 8 years. Went into the Witness Protection Program and left it. Started a blog, wrote a book and got published in hardback and mass market paperback by Phoenix Books and Simon And Shuster. I wrote and sold screenplays in Hollywood to Fox and History Channel. I became a top trainer for Fighters and Actors. I am an MMA Fighter and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt. I am a public speaker that has spoken at both big and small venues. I have a great story of change and hope. I am a Christian and would love to share my testimony on how my life changed when I allowed God into my life. I now live on a farm in Illinois, I teach boxing to Parkinson's patients with the Rock Steady Boxing program. I live a rich and full life that I thank the Lord for every day! https://betterlivedlives.com/

Parkinson’s is one of the most devastating diseases to confront a person. Someone who has been physically active, moving, talking and taking care of them selves find they no longer have the ability to even go to the bathroom alone. Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neuro degenerative disorder noted for tremors, postural rigidity and postural instability. Keep in mind that a progressive syndrome that only gets worse. About 10 million people word-wide suffer from this disabling disease. Each year in the United States over sixty thousand new cases are diagnosed. While research is on going to prevent and cure the disease, what can those with the disease do to beat it? Up until now, not much. Quite seriously there is a way to fight back. Fighting is the operative word as the key is boxing! Who would have thought that doing a boxing workout would help a Parkinson's patient? After sustaining a regular regiment of this nontraditional exercise studies indicate that those with early symptoms tend to show better results than those who have had PD longer. The results improve the longer the patient works out. After the boxing training program participants show a better quality of life, a better gait (walk) and do better at daily living activities. In the Southern California area, Tittle Boxing of Newbury Park (newbury-park.titleboxingclub.com) has an in depth program for those with PD. With classes for all levels, classes are designed to workout the patient and a family member. Not only does the workout help physically, but also emotionally. The patient and family member actually gets to beat the crap out of the disease, releasing anger and depression. Title Boxing is certified to offer Rock Steady Boxing, a specific program to help those with PD.
