How to Build the BEST Parkinson’s Healthcare Team

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, The Bad, and The Reality, Bryce breaks down how to build a Parkinson’s healthcare team that actually supports you. He shares lessons from his 15+ year journey navigating doctors, specialists, therapists, and the occasional “you look fine” comment.

From your neurologist to your pharmacist—and even the front desk person who actually listens—Bryce explains who matters, why they matter, and how to advocate for yourself when you feel dismissed or overwhelmed. If you’ve ever felt like you’re managing Parkinson’s alone or unsure who should be in your corner, this is the episode that puts the power back in your hands.

What Listeners Are Saying:

“This helped me realize I need a team—not just a doctor.”
“Thank you for saying what so many of us are afraid to ask.”
“I didn’t know where to start. This gave me a roadmap.”
