Oh Crap! It's Parkinson's

If you or someone you love has just been diagnosed, this book is for you.

Oh Crap! It's Parkinson's is a clear, honest, and practical guide to what comes next-how to move, how to think, and how to take back control of your life in the days, weeks, and years after diagnosis.

Written by a physician living this reality, it blends medical clarity with lived experience to help you move from shock to action-with structure, perspective, and a path forward.

The audiobook edition is narrated by the author and includes the voices of more than 15 people from the Parkinson's community. Their perspectives, encouragement, and lived experiences are woven throughout-creating a sense of connection and reminding you that you are not alone.

This book meets you in that moment when everything feels uncertain-when the future suddenly looks different and your mind is filled with questions you never wanted to ask. From there, it walks with you, step by step, helping you rebuild confidence, create momentum, and shape a life that still feels like yours.

What you'll find inside:

• Clear, accessible explanations of what's happening in your brain and body
• Practical strategies for movement, mindset, and daily life
• Guidance on building your care team and navigating the medical system
• Tools to help you stay engaged, active, and connected

This is a book about what you do next.

It's about staying in the fight, redefining what's possible, and recognizing that while Parkinson's may change the road ahead, you still have a say in how you travel it.
