Supporting Parkinson's disease
Both Kirstie and Melody are highly experienced Parkinson's specialist RNTP's and educators, who can support you or your loved one with symptoms or a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. They helps clients to optimise nutrient intake around medication use, supports neurological function and other symptoms to improve quality of life, and help clients understand and navigate the complex relationship between diet, digestion, and brain chemistry. This approach is designed to support both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease, including digestive symptoms, fatigue, sleep disturbances and changes in energy levels.
the Parkinson's protocol
The Parkinson's Protocol is You Nutrition Clinic's bespoke Parkinson's Disease personalised support programme.
Parkinson's Disease is a highly complex condition with many driving factors to consider. We use an evidence-based, integrative functional approach to nutrition and lifestyle medicine, that complements conventional medical care, integrating the latest research in neuroinflammation, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress and microbiome diversity to create tailored strategies that support motor and non-motor symptoms.
To support clients with a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis, a personalised consultation plan is put together based on the individual’s presentation, symptoms and medical history. Safety is key, so all nutrients and herbs are crosschecked against any medications for contraindications.
Areas that may be addressed include:
Optimisation of the gut microbiome
Optimisation of dietary intake with consideration to protein distribution and medication
Addressing other potential root causes, triggers and drivers of symptoms and disease progression
Optimisation of liver detoxification pathways with consideration to genetic predisposition
Optimisation of metabolic and hormonal health
Optimisation of hydration and electrolyte status
Reduction of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress
Mitochondrial and cellular support
Improvement in sleep quality
Stress management and nervous system regulation
Reduction in exposure to environmental factors

*We recommend a minimum commitment of three months. We ask that clients provide a minimum one months' notice if they would like to end their support package to provide their practitioner with enough time to tie up any loose ends and ensure that you are safely moving forward. Note that all packages are based on UK pricing. There is a 5 % surcharge on international packages which is due to the cost incurred through Stripe.
