Today I am happy about a new episode in the still fresh year 2022. I have Frank Michler as a guest, who has long had a name and a face in the Parkinson's scene.

I became aware of Frank through an interesting TV report, because he has undergone a new treatment method with focused ultrasound and reports on his experiences with it in this episode. I also talk to Frank about his diverse activities in self-help and in educating about Parkinson's.

I wish you a lot of fun and many new insights.

Welcome to the 40th podcast episode, for which I have come up with something special. Looking back at my interview guests with the many impressive life stories, I tried to find out whether there are similarities, thoughts that keep coming up and that can help us all to live better with the disease.

And in fact, I found 10 things that, in my opinion, bind most of my guests together.

I wish you a lot of fun and new knowledge while listening!

At the end of each episode, I ask each guest what he or she wants to give to the people who are listening.

There are wonderful answers - thoughtful, happy, in any case always encouraging and with a lot of confidence. And we need confidence not only at Christmas. And so I like to travel again with you through the year 2021 with my wonderful podcast guests.

Many thanks to: Gabi Fasshauer, Joe, Gunnar Sahr, Astrid Breuer, Andreas Oestern, Stephanie Heinze, Sven Trautner, Beate Hilker, Katharina Beyer, Detlev Friedriszik, Martha Strubinger, Karl Gutmann, Ruth Geiser, Bernd Braun, Tony Seidl, Lydia Barth , Eckart von Hirschhausen, Nenad Bach, Birgit Lange, Franz Spanke, Sophia Plöchl, Silvia Lerch, Dr. Uwe Radelof, Gisela Steinert, Thorsten Heyer.

I wish you happy, relaxed holidays with lovely people around you!

From the heart - Merry Christmas!

Today I meet the last interview guest this year 2021 and that is Thorsten Heyer. Some may also know him from his Instagram account "Pacman in the head", where he regularly talks about his life with Parkinson's.

I got to know Thorsten there and we hit it off right away. Thorsten works as an event manager and helps his customers to realize their dreams.

But in his private life, too, since his Parkinson's diagnosis, he has been looking for his own dreams and wishes, which he no longer wants to postpone.

We'll talk about that in this episode.

And what the crazy title, which by the way is to be taken literally, “Come what WOOL, we CAN DO it!” Has to do with it, you will definitely find out. I hope you enjoy listening.

On this episode, I have a guest woman who is an old hand with a Parkinson's diagnosis. Some even refer to her as the grande dame of the Parkinson's scene and in fact Gisela Steinert or Gisi, as everyone calls her, has already been involved in many projects.

Gisi doesn't mind talk, she prefers to lend a hand and has been doing so for almost 30 years despite and with the diagnosis of Parkinson's.

Look forward to an interview with a remarkable woman.

Dr. Uwe Radelof, who I have my guest on today in the podcast, is actually a visionary. The diagnosis of Parkinson's 13 years ago changed his life radically.

And although he has already crossed several valleys with his illness, one thing distinguishes him: he has never given up.

And he has a great vision, he wants to cure Parkinson's. To do this, he set up the "Parkinson Terminator Project". Today's episode is about this project and Uwe's story.

Get inspired!

In this episode I have Silvia Lerch from Switzerland in the podcast - a real power woman. Silvia had a real adventure two years ago - despite Parkinson's.

In Lapland she fulfilled a great dream and drove - accompanied by Swiss television - in a dog sled for a week through snow and ice.

In addition, Silvia has been successfully leading a self-help group in Switzerland for many years.

We also talk about her upcoming operation for deep brain stimulation, about the opportunities and risks and about Silvia's own helpful strategies in dealing with her own fear

Look forward to a very rich interview with Silvia - a lot Fun!

I recently had a really great conversation with Sophia Plöchl. She comes from Austria and she is a woman with a wide range of interests and talents.

Today's episode is about a variety of topics, such as photography or book writing. But we also talk about depression - as an often underestimated symptom of the disease and we share our own experiences and ways we found our way back to life.

Another focus of this episode is how valuable it can be to look for and find new fields of activity in our lives. So I wish you a lot of fun with Sophia and our joint interview.

Franz Spanke comes from Rheine in the Münsterland. He has many talents, including poetry writing and his inventions. 

Although Franz has been diagnosed with Parkinson's for over 35 years, he has retained an enviable ability: he is never bored. 

I promise you, you won't be bored with this interview either, your imagination will be more in demand. 

So look forward to a great interview.
