Shaking Loose: One Woman's 35-Year Journey from Loss to Ketosis and Calm Hands

About this episode

Dr. Adam Brockman discusses essential tremor with health advocate Maria Watson, who shares her journey to finding relief through ketosis.

Millions of Americans live with essential tremor — a condition that quietly reshapes everything from handwriting to confidence, yet rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. This hour, Dr. Adam Brockman breaks down what essential tremor really is (and how it differs from Parkinson's), then sits down with Maria Watson, a self-taught health advocate whose thirty-five year journey through personal loss led her to a surprising discovery: a clean path into ketosis that calms her tremor in as little as forty minutes. From measurable metabolic science to a deeply human story of turning grief into purpose, this is a conversation about what's possible when you refuse to stop paying attention to your own body.
