"Women’s Health & Parkinson’s", a special webinar in collaboration with the PD Buddy App in now available as a Podcast

This session explores the connection between menopause, hormones, and Parkinson’s, providing valuable insights and practical strategies to help you navigate these changes.

Led by Dr. Tanya Denne, ND, a naturopathic doctor and researcher, the webinar covers key topics such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), fatigue, nutrition, gut health, and more. Through evidence-based approaches and real-world case studies, Dr. Denne bridges the gap between neurology, primary care, and holistic wellness—offering tangible takeaways to help you optimise your health and care plan.

This event is brought to you in partnership with the PD Buddy App (https://pdbuddy.app/ a free digital tool designed to support people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers.
