Victor approaches Parkinson's with the heart of a fighter and the humor of someone who's learned not to take himself too seriously. Through personal anecdotes—from his struggles with button-down shirts and arugula to acting out dreams on overnight flights—he demonstrates that while PD may slow you down, it doesn't have to control your life.

What People Are Saying
“This book is a practical step-by-step instruction on how to navigate life with PD. But more importantly, it is inspirational. Victor’s positive attitude, persistence and resilience are admirable, and any reader, whether they have PD, a chronic illness, or a disability, would be inspired by him.
I love the theme of the book...thriving and not just surviving...which is a mindset and one that can help anyone enjoy life one day at a time.”

“I just finished Punch Out Parkinson’s Disease last night. It is a great read for someone newly diagnosed. It will help take the sting of a diagnosis off a bit. Victor provides a ton of information for a person with Parkinson’s and for a CarePartner about life, what works and what they should be focusing on. I love the humor 'thread' woven through the book, too. If we can't laugh, we'll spend too much time crying.
During my first 3 years of my diagnosis, I read dozens of books and listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts to figure out what was invading my life, both in serious writing style and humorous style. This book frankly condenses all that I've learned over my 6 years into a quick read format. Thank you!”

“I recently read Punch Out Parkinson’s Disease, and I can honestly say it’s an impactful and important book. The author shares a wide range of real-life experiences that make the journey with Parkinson’s feel both relatable and human. The book offers practical, actionable suggestions that empower readers to take an active role in living well despite the diagnosis.
It’s well written, easy to follow, and a quick read — but don’t mistake brevity for lack of depth. The insights are meaningful, encouraging, and grounded in lived experience. Most importantly, it offers hope, perspective, and tangible strategies for navigating daily life with Parkinson’s.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, as well as to family members, friends, and caregivers who want to better understand and support their loved ones. It’s not just informative — it’s motivating.
A must read!”
