Davis Phinney Foundation Ambassador Jan Grimes is an expert at getting creative to make managing her day-to-day Parkinson’s symptoms just a little bit easier. Watch the video below to see many of Jan’s tips, tricks, and products that allow her to better manage her symptoms and spend more time doing the things she loves.

Additionally, Jan wanted to share one of her favorite “hacks,” which was custom built by her husband Bill.
Pictured below is a stool that Jan uses to more easily move about the kitchen. It has cut away sides, wheels, and enough room to move her legs so she can easily sit and roll around.
