Since 2003, Dr. Jay Alberts has been researching the role that cycling has on reducing the symptoms of Parkinson's. It all began when he rode a tandem bike across Iowa (RAGBRAI) with a person with Parkinson's. In this episode, he talks about his experiences working with people with Parkinson's through outdoor cycling and how he's bringing it into the lab to further his research and help even more people live well with Parkinson's.

The human body was built to work in partnership with the sun. Its light can transform our moods, focus, sleep, energy levels, immune systems, bone density, and mental health. As a result, spending time in the sun can be particularly beneficial to people living with Parkinson’s who experience symptoms like depression, apathy, poor sleep, pain, and fatigue. During this session, our YOPD council members discuss all the ways sun and light help them live well with Parkinson’s.
