This Mindfulness Monday session invites participants to gently explore compassion as a source of strength, steadiness, and ease. Through simple grounding practices and guided reflection, we’ll create space to meet our experiences with patience, understanding, and shared humanity.

Together, we’ll explore how cultivating compassion can support those living with Parkinson’s in navigating daily challenges—helping to soften tension, ease self-judgment, and deepen connection with ourselves and others.

Wellness Wednesday: Expert Briefing Series

From pesticides to air quality, growing evidence points to environmental factors as significant contributors to Parkinson’s disease risk and progression. In this session, we will examine what is known—and what remains uncertain—about environmental exposures, genetic vulnerability, and protective factors. The discussion will highlight ongoing research efforts and opportunities for prevention and advocacy for cleaner, safer communities.  

The Foundation's Expert Briefing series is intended to offer firsthand access to the latest research and updates from experts in the field. Expert Briefing webinars will include more scientific terms and concepts.

Wellness Wednesday: Expert Briefing Series

Scientists are learning that what happens in the gut may have an impact on the brain — including in Parkinson’s disease. In this session, we’ll explore how gut health and digestion are connected to Parkinson’s symptoms and overall well-being. You’ll hear about current research on the “gut–brain connection,” what it could mean for understanding Parkinson’s, and how caring for your gut may play a role in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Wellness Wednesday: Expert Briefing Series

Now, more studies than ever are exploring disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) that could truly change the future of Parkinson’s. While today’s treatments can help with symptoms, we cannot yet alter the disease progression. Researchers are working on DMTs that aim to slow, stop, or reverse the brain changes in Parkinson’s. This session will provide an overview of where the field stands—exploring breakthroughs in cell replacement therapies, disease-modifying trials, and ethical considerations. Attendees will learn how researchers are working toward interventions that could slow, stop, or reverse the disease process.

Each month, Dr. Rush invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and your Parkinson’s community through a guided mindfulness practice. Together, we’ll explore simple ways to ground the body, calm the mind, and cultivate compassion and clarity that you can carry into your week.

Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a returning participant, these sessions are designed to be inclusive, supportive, and accessible for everyone. Find a comfortable place to sit, settle in, and experience how mindfulness can bring steadiness and space, even in the midst of change.

A brief time for questions and reflections will follow each practice.

When Parkinson’s changes how our bodies move and feel, it’s easy to become disconnected from them. This session explores body awareness as a path to healing and understanding, offering tools to observe sensations with compassion rather than judgment. We’ll close with a guided body awareness meditation designed to help you reconnect with yourself through presence.

Sabemos que el cerebro y el intestino están profundamente conectados y cada vez más investigaciones revelan que esta relación va mucho más allá de los malestares digestivos que pueden influir en nuestro estado emocional. En este webinar, exploraremos cómo el eje intestino-cerebro puede influir en el desarrollo y la progresión de la enfermedad de Parkinson. Contaremos con una experta que explicará el papel del sistema gastrointestinal, la microbiota intestinal y los mecanismos biológicos que podrían vincularlos con los síntomas motores y no motores de esta condición.

Ser diagnosticado con la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) puede parecer abrumador. Este webinar explicará cómo se diagnostica la EP y delinear los esenciales pasos siguientes después del diagnóstico. Hablaremos cómo aprovechar al máximo las citas médicas, especialmente cuando hay poco tiempo y prioridades que compiten entre sí. Los participantes también aprenderán estratégicas prácticas para defender sus intereses, cómo usar el contar historias (storytelling) para compartir su recorrido de salud eficazmente y maneras para comunicar sus prioridades con claridad para salir de la cita sintiéndose escuchados y empoderados.
