“Cognitive symptoms are the hardest part of my Parkinson’s and the least talked about.”

Where HONEST CONVERSATION MEETS DAILY STRATEGY — SUPPORTING LIFE WITH PARKINSON’S

Welcome to Parkinson’s With Geoff. I’m not a doctor, therapist, or influencer. I’m just a guy diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2022 who decided to share the things that help me — and the things that don’t.

While many focus on the physical symptoms, my biggest challenges have been cognitive: memory loss, brain fog, sleep disruption, and mental fatigue.

This site is where I talk about those things — through a weekly podcast, a practical guide, and short journal entries. It’s personal, unsponsored, and built with the hope that it makes someone else’s journey feel a little less lonely.

What I Use Regularly and Why

Tools That Support My Cognitive Health

01. Brain Training

I use BrainHQ regularly for structured cognitive training. It’s designed to challenge memory, focus, and processing speed—and I notice a difference when I stay consistent.

02. Voice Therapy
The “Speak With Intent” program from the Parkinson Voice Project helps me strengthen my speech and clarity. It’s free, well-structured, and worth exploring.
03. Audio Therapy
I listen to theta wave audio sessions several nights a week. It may not be scientific to everyone—but it helps calm my mind and sparks creative thinking.
04. Movement & Tracking

Walking 10,000 steps, light strength training, and tracking sleep with a Fitbit keeps me accountable. Motion is medicine—especially when brain fog hits.

MAKING REAL-LIFE PROGRESS THROUGH SIMPLE DAILY HABITS

What helps me stay sharp?

It’s not magic. It’s small, consistent effort guided by real tools, real choices, and a little dry humor when needed.

Geoff’s Process

FROM FOG TO FOCUS: MY PERSONAL FRAMEWORK

01

Show Up With Intention

Even on foggy days, I walk, move, speak, and think with purpose. It’s not perfect—but I try.

02

Engage the Brain

I spend time using BrainHQ, journaling, or even solving puzzles. I treat mental effort like exercise—because it is.

03

Support the System

From proper medication and nutrition to tracking sleep and listening to calming audio—everything I do supports my brain, not just my body.

What People Often Ask Me

I’m not a neurologist or coach just a guy managing Parkinson’s, day by day.
Here are a few questions I’ve been asked (and how I usually answer).

Mainly the cognitive stuff — memory, focus, speech, brain fog. Motor symptoms are part of it too, but my daily challenges are more mental than physical (so far).

Nope. This isn’t a business. It’s a personal project to share what helps me. Everything I share is free.
