Summary
This study tests whether a 6-month program combining exercise, Mediterranean diet, sleep counseling, and cognitive training can help people with early Parkinson's or a sleep disorder (RBD) stick to healthy habits. Researchers will track how well 99 participants follow the program. The goal is to see if lifestyle changes can delay or prevent Parkinson's progression.
