About this listen

We recently hosted two webinars on Mucuna pruriens, a tropical legume rich in levodopa. The first, with Dr. Roberto Cilia, focused on the use of Mucuna in low-income countries where levodopa is often unavailable or unaffordable. The second, with Dr. Rafael Maldonado, took a broader perspective. Due to continued interest and questions on mucuna, we organised today’s session with Dr. Tanya Denne.

Since 2010, Dr. Denne has researched Mucuna for its potential in treating Parkinson's. Having been mentored by Dr. Laurie Mischley, she chose her Naturopathic Medical School with a focus on serving the Parkinson's community.

Dr. Denne treats the whole person with a personalized, holistic approach and specializes in optimizing care plans and addressing treatment gaps. Driven by her passion for public health, she joined Dr. Roberto Cilia in Ghana in February to help tackle Parkinson's care in countries where Mucuna is sometimes all they have.

This session is intended for informational and educational purposes only. If you're seeking medical advice, please consult a healthcare professional.
