I am your host, Dr. Christian Hageseth. A retired psychiatrist, I have had motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease going on six years now. My non-motor symptoms for nine. Why I am doing this is because I do not take any medications for PD and I function at a very high level. I am reaching out to my fellow Parkies (are you comfortable with that name?) to share what works for me. To provide encouragement, education, understanding, latest and greatest things coming down the pike, and those that should be trashed forever.

As my show progresses I will interview you—Parkinson’s People. I will engage in monologues that I intend to be brief and to the point. I will interview experts including traditional medical providers and alternative practitioners.

I start with one core belief. I proclaim there is only one person who can make your PD better. Who’s that, you ask? It’s not your neurologist, your alternative healer, or your care partner. No. The only person who can improve your PD is YOU! Let’s get going.
