Description

Could a natural compound from everyday spices protect your brain and slow the progression of Parkinson’s Disease?

In this episode (watch on YouTube here!) you will learn about β-caryophyllene (BCP)—a safe, plant-derived compound found in black pepper, rosemary, and hops. BCP is FDA- and EFSA-approved as a flavor enhancer, but research suggests it does far more.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ How BCP protects dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra

✅ Its potential role in stabilizing Parkinson’s and slowing progression 

✅ Symptom relief for pain, restless legs, muscle hesitation, depression, anxiety, and sleep issues

✅ How BCP may treat tardive dyskinesia caused by medications

✅ BCP’s broader neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties

Whether you’re living with Parkinson’s, caring for someone who is, or interested in natural neuroprotection, this episode will expand your understanding of what’s possible.
