Breaking down misconceptions can be just as important as advancing the science. In this episode, Drs. Emily Lee and Jennifer Mabry sit down with Amy Breedlove, Executive Chair of the Peterson Foundation for Parkinson’s, to discuss the realities of living with Parkinson’s Disease and the mission behind the organization. Founded by Brent Peterson after his own diagnosis ended a decades-long career in the NHL, the foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by Parkinson’s through awareness, support, and advocacy. Amy shares how she stepped into her role, what the work means to her personally, and how the foundation continues to push forward in the fight against this disease. The conversation also takes on common myths and misconceptions in a “Myth vs. Truth” segment, offering clarity, education, and a stronger understanding of what living with Parkinson’s really looks like.
