# 382 - Parkinsons disease, how not to get it. - Dr Ray Dorsey

Dr Ray Dorsey is a professor of Neurology and the co author of the book : Ending Parkinsons disease. As you will hear Dr Dorsey believes this dreadful disease is entirely preventable through taking several simple steps and the case for doing so is becoming more and more pressing given this disease has exploded in case numbers in only the last 2 centuries. In this episode we determine what exactly Parkinsons disease is and how its not purely a disease of the brain. We hear about Dr Heiko Braak's hypothesis and the roles the nose, the gut and the vagus nerve play in developing Parkinsons. Expect to learn the symptoms of Parkinsons and when they occur. We discover what according to Dr Dorsey is actually causing Parkinsons and how to prevent it. Plus we discuss diet, exercise and other measures we can take so to mitigate against developing this neurological disease. This is a sobering and fascinating discussion, it will also make you angry, that more isn't being done to address the everyday hazards that are fuelling the proliferation of this disease. https://www.michaeljfox.org/researcher/ray-dorsey-md-mba https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/people/112359350-earl-ray-dorsey Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ending-Parkinsons-Disease-Prescription-Action/dp/1541724526 Order Happy Habits for Mind and Body Audiobook: https://rb.gy/h5jjjg Order Kindle copy of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/jiojcc Order US paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/sirste Order UK paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/jtfea5 Listen to all previous podcast episodes of the Happy Habit Podcast via these podcast platforms : Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/happy-habit-podcast Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Habit-Podcast/dp/B08K5887J8 Amazon music : https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/670836c2-ea4c-4a23-a67d-a54dd804ef61/happy-habit-podcast Spotify https://https://open.spotify.com/show/2VKIhQK6mYTzLCO8haUoRd Google Podcasts : https://t.ly/hTU8q ----- Follow the Happy Habit Podcast at: Website: https://happyhabitpodcast.wordpress.com/Facebook: Twitter: https://twitter.com/mathieunorry Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happyhabitpodcast/ Newsletter:
