Tools, apps, and routines I personally use to support my brain, boost focus, and stay grounded while living with Parkinson’s.
Not medical advice just what’s helping me day by day.
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.
Walking 10,000 steps, light strength training, and tracking sleep with a Fitbit keeps me accountable. Motion is medicine—especially when brain fog hits.
Primal Movement is about getting your body to move the way it was designed to — something most of us have lost with modern habits like sitting too much and staring at screens. It helps retrain posture, flexibility, balance, and coordination.
For people with Parkinson’s, it can be especially helpful. You have to apply real focus and intent to even basic movements — like how your feet land, your stride, and your posture — which shifts control from the damaged automatic part of the brain (extrapyramidal system) to the intentional side (pyramidal system). That’s powerful.
We’ll go deeper in Podcast Episode #8 with Coach Karlee, a local Primal Movement expert full of great insight and energy.
