Let's start with the Top 5 reasons to use exercise as medicine in PD:
#5: Exercise helps with constipation! I know so many people that are on all kinds of different medications to help with constipation--let's just take the natural remedy--exercise. Dr. Chelsea Duncan shares about how this helps.
#4: Exercise helps you sleep better. Yikes--I know that I need this! Dr. Erin Caudill explains about the importance of sleep and how it is improved with exercise.
#3: Exercise gives you energy. And who better to explain this that our own Dr. Ali Elder.
#4 Exercise to improve thinking and memory
I need this more than anything! My memory got super foggy after having kids. But I notice a big difference with regular exercise.
#1: Exercise slows progression of PD through neuroplasticity.
I can't even tell you how many of our clients look like they do not have PD because they have gotten into a regular and specific exercise program designed for brain change. It works!
