We know that environmental toxins can lead to higher rates of chronic disease. According to today’s guest, some of these same toxins—many of which are still highly prevalent—can directly increase your risk of developing Parkinson's disease and possibly other brain disorders. If you're interested in prevention and reducing your exposure to these toxins, this episode is for you.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes with neurologist Dr. Ray Dorsey, where we dive into the root causes of Parkinson's disease and how environmental toxins, such as trichloroethylene (TCE), dramatically increase our risk of developing it. Dr. Dorsey shares decades of research explaining why Parkinson’s is on the rise, how toxins impact our mitochondria, and the role of misfolded proteins in the disease. He also offers practical steps to limit exposure, especially from an early age, and outlines lifestyle and dietary interventions to reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s.
Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist and researcher known for his groundbreaking work in the field of Parkinson's disease. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Dorsey has significantly contributed to Parkinson's disease research. His work on the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) and other research projects has advanced the field's knowledge and treatment options. Dr. Dorsey also co-authored the groundbreaking book Ending Parkinson's Disease: A Prescription for Action.
