Bruce, 55, doctor

Health challenges

• Early onset Parkinson’s Disease
• Fatigue: ‘I am tired waking up tired’
• Elevated blood sugars (can’t get them down via diet)
• Diet very high in refined carbohydrates
• B12 deficiency: implicated in nervous system decline
• Vitamin D deficiency: implicated in nervous system decline
• Large antibiotic use throughout life (from a young child)

Treatment

• Counselled Bruce to start a ketogenic diet to help slow Parkinson Disease progression
• Increased ‘good germs’ in bowel by using a specific probiotic and ‘feeding’ them with specific foods
• Increased foods high in anti-inflammatory actions
• Started with Vitamin D and B12 supplementation

Great results

• Moods/balance/tremor noticeably better
• Energy 100% improved
• Deficiencies improved
• Blood sugars stabilised
• Diet now mostly organic with no large fish (mercury)
• Still taking supplements and probiotic
