Client Interview: How Nutrition Supported Her & Her Husband Through Parkinson’s
About this episode
Registered dietitian Leah Kleinschrodt sits down with longtime client Mary McCormick to share a heartfelt, practical look at caregiving through Parkinson’s - what day-to-day symptoms really look like and how real-food meals plus targeted supports helped Mary care for her late husband while protecting her own health. You’ll hear honest lessons about stress, sleep, meds, and the mind–body connection, along with time-saving cooking tips, how to build a resilient routine, and why “eat like your grandmother” still works. If you are a caregiver for a spouse, parent, child, or any other person you love, then this talk will give you the gift of hope, understanding, and achievable next steps.
