Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel addresses Parkinson's as mitochondrial and inflammatory disorder with environmental triggers, not inevitable neurodegeneration. While conventional medicine offers only symptom management, functional approach aims to slow progression and improve quality of life through: 1) Mitochondrial support (restore cellular energy in neurons), 2) Reduce neuroinflammation, 3) Antioxidant protection, 4) Detoxification (remove neurotoxins), 5) Optimize dopamine naturally, 6) Heal gut (microbiome affects brain), 7) Neuroprotective therapies. Early intervention critical—aim to preserve remaining neurons and optimize function.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Levodopa/Carbidopa (Sinemet—gold standard), Dopamine agonists (pramipexole, ropinirole), MAO-B inhibitors (selegiline, rasagiline), COMT inhibitors (entacapone), Anticholinergics, Amantadine, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for advanced cases, Physical therapy, Occupational therapy, Speech therapy.
Levodopa temporarily improves symptoms but doesn't slow disease progression, side effects increase over time (dyskinesias, motor fluctuations, hallucinations, impulse control disorders with dopamine agonists), effectiveness decreases over time ('wearing off' phenomenon), doesn't address root causes (mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, toxins, gut health), no protocol for neuroprotection or slowing progression, DBS effective for motor symptoms but invasive with risks, conventional approach: 'nothing can be done until symptoms worsen enough for medication,' missed opportunity for early intervention.

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Ketogenic or modified ketogenic diet (ketones provide alternative brain fuel, neuroprotective), high antioxidant foods (berries, colorful vegetables), increase omega-3 foods, eliminate pesticide exposure (organic only), avoid aluminum cookware, high-fiber diet (gut health critical), bone broth, turmeric/curcumin daily, green tea, dark chocolate 85%+, fermented foods, adequate protein (but separate from levodopa if taking), intermittent fasting.
Lifestyle Factors
Exercise critical (slows progression—resistance training, aerobic exercise, dancing, tai chi proven beneficial), prioritize sleep (7-9 hours), stress management (meditation, breathwork), avoid pesticide/herbicide exposure, filter drinking water, remove amalgam fillings, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, social engagement, cognitive stimulation, boxing therapy (Rock Steady Boxing), music therapy, maintain purpose and meaning.
