How A Thought Becomes An Action: A Guide To Movement And The Disconnect In Parkinson’s Disease
By Colleen Bridges, Author of MedFit's Parkinson's Disease Fitness Specialist course

"People living with Parkinson’s Disease want to take larger steps, smile more, swallow food without fear of choking, dress and bathe themselves, drive and participate in social activities.

However, for some, when they have a thought such as “I want to walk to the kitchen for a snack”, getting the thought to become an action, is almost impossible due to the lack of dopamine neurons in the Substantia Nigra. But wait a minute! HOW does a thought even become an action and WHAT can a Fitness Professional do to improve brain and body connection?"

The Naturopathic Chef
This month's Q&A with "The Medicine Chef" Tina Martini:

Q: Does corn have any nutritional value? Every recipe calls for so much dairy and fat. My mom used to make a corn chowder that had heavy cream and lots of butter in it. Although we loved it, we don't eat this way any longer. Any way to lighten it up and still have the rich velvety texture?

A: The use of the whole cob gives you the creamy texture you crave. In my summer corn chowder recipe, I add in a little pureed veg or coconut cream to boost that over-the-top silky texture: the French Chefs call it Velouté. We call it Delicious Medicine.
