À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
How do you go from a five-minute diagnosis that flips your world upside down to becoming a source of light for the global Parkinson’s community? In this episode of This Is Parkinson’s, host Lisa Volenec sits down with Tim Lockard (founder of My PD Party @mypdparty on instagram) for a heart-to-heart on the realities of living with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD) and critical decisions during difficult times.
In this episode, we explore:
The "Brochure" Diagnosis: Tim shares the jarring experience of being diagnosed in minutes and sent on his way with nothing but a pamphlet.
Overcoming Depression: A raw look at the two-year dark period Tim faced and the exact moment in a Dunkin' Donuts parking lot that changed everything.
The Environmental Link: A discussion on the potential connection between the automotive industry (degreasers/chemicals) and PD.
Finding Your MVP: Tim’s incredible "full circle" story involving a personal photo with Muhammad Ali and meeting Lonnie Ali at the Michael J. Fox Foundation policy forum.
Tim’s message is clear: Parkinson’s doesn’t define you; it’s just a part of the new, beautiful version of you.
