Yafit, I wanted to thank you for your contribution to my patients when we worked together at the Institute for Movement Disorders in Sheba.
A healthy diet is essential for all of us and certainly for people who are dealing with neurological symptoms and also receiving complex treatments and medications with side effects. Sometimes the small changes in diet make big differences to quality of life.
When patients consult with us, we as physicians, do not always place enough emphasis on the importance of healthy living habits and proper nutrition in patients. But I as a doctor have always learned from you to talk about weight, appetite, gastrointestinal symptoms and nutrition in all my patients.
And of course the positive energies also contribute a lot.

First Meeting
First Nutrition Counseling - A 90-minute comprehensive session. In this session we will go over your medical and nutritional history. I will understand the history of the disease, related health problems that have been discovered over the years and I will get from you the full picture I need to build an optimal menu for you. After the session I will sit for three hours and make an order while consuming the medication and food - so that they do not compete with the food or with themselves, I will recommend which supplements to leave and which to download and I will build you a custom menu. The meeting and nutritional counseling support medical counseling and do not come to replace it.
Nutritional accompaniment program
Continuation plan after the first session.
The nutritional treatment of Parkinson's disease requires a dietary change in accordance with the pharmacological changes, the disease dynamics, the daily routine and the examination of the effects of different foods on the individual due to personal differences, hence the importance of the nutritional accompaniment program.
In this program twelve recurring sessions of 45 minutes each.
In the meetings, changes are made to the menu, variations are given to the foods, a training program is built, recommendations are given for supportive activities and referrals to additional professionals, and goals are set in the first session.

In honor of Yafit Ben Mordechai, a nutritionist, a member of the Wild Medical Advisory Committee.
On my behalf and on behalf of the Parkinson's Association members who participated in the Winter Seminar in Tiberias, I would like to thank you for your response to take part in the seminar where we chose this time to examine the correct diet for the Parkinson's patient.
In your lecture you mentioned the food families that should be included in the patient's daily diet in order to maintain balance with the drugs. Brain researchers note the importance of nutrition in order to maintain normal and vital human brain activity. I have no doubt that your lecture has highlighted these points and will bring maximum attention to the subject.
I sincerely thank and appreciate your willingness to share with us your experience!
