Every single year, approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement.

Many Parkinson’s disease symptoms involve losing the ability to control your muscles and movement, making daily activities like performing at work, writing and even getting dressed difficult or even impossible. This loss of movement control and reliance on others can make people feel as though they are missing out on important aspects of life and relationships with spouses, family and friends.

When Parkinson’s medications still work but become less effective, deep brain stimulation therapy, or DBS Therapy, is a treatment option to help control some of the movement symptoms of Parkinson’s like shaking, slowed movement and stiffness.

DBS Therapy uses a small pacemaker-like device, placed under the skin of the chest, to send electrical signals through very thin wires to an area in the brain that controls movement. To provide relief, these signals block some of the brain messages that cause the movement symptoms of Parkinson’s.

For many people with Parkinson’s, DBS can offer a new lease on life, allowing them to live more independently and pursue their passions, whatever they may be.

Rick Snyder, M.A. in Psychology and author of Decisive Intuition: Use Your Gut Instincts to Make Smart Business Decisions, argues that the rational mind, doubt, busyness, fear, and the ego often disconnect us from our intuitive nature and inner compass, which makes our life choices much more challenging to navigate.

However, these obstacles and deeply-ingrained filters can be overcome. Each of us is capable of being more present to what our inner signals are trying to communicate, allowing us to open our mind and body to a deeper guidance within.

So what are you waiting for? Learn how to harness your gut instincts to make better decisions and live a fuller, happier and more purposeful life!
