Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time for families, but for people with Parkinson's it can be  difficult to process high protein meals. This week on OHSU’s blog, “On the Brain,” Dr. Amie Peterson, M.D., explores the effect of protein rich foods, such as turkey, on the efficacy of Parkinson’s medication. Dr. Peterson explains in detail the effect of high protein meals on Parkinson’s medication, which can cause more slowness of movement and stiffness.

There are great tips on the blog for avoiding negative drug interactions, including how to time the types of thanksgiving foods for patients suffering from Parkinson's.
