"Now more than ever" by Kathrin Wersing Kathrin Wersing How can we succeed - despite the life-changing diagnosis of Parkinson's disease - in making life positive, worth living and colorful? In my podcast I talk to people who live positively with Parkinson's in many different ways. A podcast that is meant to encourage, from people with PD for people with PD, relatives and everyone who is looking for a positive approach to the topic of Parkinson's. Long Live The Brains Philip Tipton, MD Long Live The Brains (LLTB) was created by Dr. Philip Tipton, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic; and, it is currently produced & co-hosted by Dr. Tipton & Kandice Jacobs Robinson, Florida licensed funeral director and Dementia Friendly America Champion. Both Dr. Tipton & Kandice have a passion for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. These diseases are particularly cruel and can impair how a person moves, thinks, and responds to their environment. Neurodegenerative diseases are the epidemic of our time. The shared goals of the LLTB co-hosts are: (1) to address society's lack of awareness for these diseases and the abundance of inaccurate information about them and (2) to create a sense of community among patients, their caregivers and others poised to serve in a support capacity. The podcast is mostly interview-based to provide listeners with a 360 degree look at what neurodegenerative diseases are and how they affect the lives of patients and loved ones.
