Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to generate preliminary data on the impact of the dietary protein pattern on markers of skeletal muscle health and drug efficacy in Parkinson disease.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Protein Redistribution Diet

PD participants will be instructed by a Registered Dietitian to consume 10 grams or less of protein until their evening meal. They will then consume a high protein evening meal to meet their protein needs. They will receive one-on-one education and supportive materials to follow diet plan.

BEHAVIORAL

Protein Consistent Diet

PD participants will be instructed by a Registered Dietitian to consume 20-30 grams of protein per meal. They will receive one-on-one education and supportive materials to follow diet plan.
