    Neurologist Reveals The 3 Shocking Reasons Why Parkinson's Disease & Other Brain Disorders Are On The Rise (Rebroadcast)
    Sep 25 2024
    This episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers, Momentous, and Lumebox. 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. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Dorsey dive into: The three environmental toxins responsible for the rise in Parkinson’s disease (2:06) What is trichloroethylene (TCE) and how toxins impact mitochondria (3:15) Dr. Dorsey’s journey in learning about the role of toxins in developing chronic disease (15:19) The importance of both outdoor and indoor air quality for longevity (17:52) The earliest cases of Parkinson’s disease and the link between pesticides and Parkinson’s (27:58) The research around toxins and Parkinson’s disease as a largely preventable disease (32:12) What individuals should be thinking about to prevent Parkinson’s disease (41:07) The role of misfolded proteins (46:20) How exposure during early periods in life can impact the development of Parkinson’s (53:58) A map of the areas contaminated by trichloroethylene (57:53) Testing and the importance of minimizing additional exposure (1:04:13) Dry cleaning and exposure to toxins (1:13:54) The role of exercise in prevention and for anyone diagnosed with Parkinson’s (1:24:14) Resistance around the role that toxins play in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s (1:27:28) Also mentioned in this episode: Dr. Dorsey’s book Ending Parkinson’s Disease The Parkinson's Project For more on Dr. Dorsey, follow him on Twitter and this website.

Whether it's sleeping, eating, or exposing ourselves to light outside of our usual schedule, we're losing touch with these natural cycles and increasing our chances of developing disease.
