About Genesis: metabolic coaching for people living with Parkinson's

We can unwind decades of inflammation. That belief — that the metabolic damage built up over a lifetime can be worked back, one day at a time — is why Genesis exists.

How Genesis started

Genesis began with a diagnosis. On October 2, 2023, Dr. Sylvain Marino was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Like many people, he was offered a path built around medication. He wanted to know what else he could do — what he could change in how he ate, fasted, moved and slept to support his own brain and body.

That search led him to Lars Konge. Over the following years, working side by side, they built what became the Genesis Protocol: a long-term, lifestyle-first approach for people living with Parkinson's, designed to sit alongside medical care rather than replace it.

Autophagy Practitioner, Genesis Protocol · Member, SMHP

Lars Konge is an Autophagy Practitioner and the founder of the Genesis Protocol. His work focuses on the metabolic side of chronic disease — insulin, inflammation, ketosis, fasting and the cellular clean-up process called autophagy — and on turning that science into daily habits people can actually keep.

Lars coaches members directly, leads content such as the Female Fasting for PD deep dive, and oversees the GenesisAi app that tracks each member's progress. He is a coach, not a physician, and he encourages every member to keep their neurologist closely involved.

Meet our coach: Dr. Sylvain Marino

Sylvain brings something no textbook can: lived experience. He follows the protocol himself and coaches others through the same decisions he faced — how to start fasting around medication, how to adopt keto without losing too much weight, how to stay motivated. Read Sylvain's profile.

What we do

• Human coaching — one-to-one guidance from people who understand Parkinson's.
• Nutritional ketosis — a whole-food ketogenic approach, introduced gradually.
• Fasting — overnight and time-restricted windows planned around medication, built to unwind metabolic damage day by day.
• Live movement classes on Zoom.
• GenesisAi — our Metabolic AI app that logs meals, fasting, ketones and movement and turns them into your cumulative autophagy picture.

What we believe

We believe Parkinson's is not only a dopamine problem but also a metabolic and inflammatory one, and that lifestyle is a lever most people have never been shown how to pull. We are confident in that lever.

We are also careful. We do not diagnose, treat or cure disease, and we never ask anyone to change medication. We cite real research on our research page and tell you honestly where the evidence is strong and where it is still early. And we believe people do better with a community: no one should work this out alone.
